to the benefits to be obtained therefrom by the Lenders under the Loan Documents or (ix)
permitted agreements, leases and licenses (other than FCC Authorizations which are addressed

extensions beyond the Closing Date or the date referenced in clause (j) above) or any other
compliance with the requirements of this definition where it reasonably determines in
writing, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, that the creation or perfection of
security interests and Mortgages on, or obtaining of title insurance or surveys or taking
other actions, or any other compliance with the requirements of this definition cannot be
accomplished without undue delay, burden or expense by the time or times at which it would
otherwise be required by this Agreement or the Collateral Documents;

Guarantee Requirement shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the
Collateral Documents and, to the extent appropriate in the applicable jurisdiction, as
agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower in writing; and
(E) all Collateral and security interests contemplated or required by this definition,
this Agreement or any Collateral Document shall be limited so as not to require the grant of
equal and ratable security to or for the benefit of the holders of any Existing Retained
Notes under the applicable Existing Retained Notes Documentation, and neither the Parent
Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be required to grant a security interest in any Collateral
if the effect of such grant would result in any obligation to grant equal and ratable
security to or for the benefit of the Holders of any Existing Retained Note.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Parent Borrower may cause any Restricted
Subsidiary to take all actions necessary under this definition of “Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement” to become a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor, in the case of such Restricted
Subsidiary organized in the United States, or a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor, in the case of
such Restricted Subsidiary organized outside the United States, in which case such
Restricted Subsidiary shall be treated as a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor or Foreign Subsidiary
Guarantor, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if any
intended Guaranty cannot be provided on or prior to the date required under Section 6.13(b)
or with respect to any intended Collateral, if the creation or perfection of the
Administrative Agent’s security interest in such intended Collateral may not be accomplished
on or prior to the date required under Section 6.13(b) (other than the pledge and perfection
of domestic assets of the Parent Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to which a lien
may be perfected solely by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial
Code) after use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue delay, burden
or expense, then such Guaranty or Collateral shall not be required to be delivered under
Section 6.13(b) if the Parent Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such
documents and instruments, and take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be
required to perfect such security interests, (i) in the case of any intended Guaranty,
within 20 days after the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of any intended Collateral, the

(a) The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Loans be made and/or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other
than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such
requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely
transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the
making of Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, such request shall be subject to the
approval of the Administrative Agent and each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender; and in
the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Alternative Currency Letters of
Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lender and each Alternative Currency L/C Issuer.
(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten
Business Days prior to the date of the desired Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing or
Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Alternative Currency
Letters of Credit, each Alternative Currency L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). Any
such request pertaining to Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender thereof; and in the case of

Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five Business Days after receipt of such request whether it
consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans or

currency.
(c) Any failure by an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender or an Alternative Currency
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Lender or such Alternative Currency L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Alternative Currency
-67-
Revolving Credit Loans to be made or Alternative Currency Letters of Credit to be issued in such
requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Lenders consent to making Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans in such requested currency,
the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be
deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Borrowings of Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, and if the
Administrative Agent, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender and each Alternative
Currency L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit in such
requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency
shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of
any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issuances. If the consents required to be obtained by
this Section with respect to an additional currency proposed by the Parent Borrower are not
obtained, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.
SECTION 1.08. Currency Equivalents Generally.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be
used for calculating Dollar Amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in
Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and
shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until
the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan
Parties hereunder or calculating financial ratios hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein,
the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall
be such Dollar Amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent.
(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of an Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed
in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is
denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency
Equivalent of such Dollar Amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with
0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable
Alternative Currency L/C Issuer, as the case may be.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01,
7.02 and 7.03 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than
Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of
exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred; provided that, for
the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.08 shall otherwise apply to such
Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be
incurred at any time under such Sections.
(d) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.14 and otherwise computing the Total
Leverage Ratio and Secured Leverage Ratio, the equivalent in Dollars of any amount denominated in a
currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars (i) with respect to income statement
items, in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Net Income in the Parent Borrower’s
latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) and (ii) with respect to
balance sheet items, in a manner consistent with that used in calculating balance sheet items in
the Parent Borrower’s latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) and
will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in
accordance with GAAP, of Swap Contracts for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable
currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.
-68-
SECTION 1.09. Change in Currency.
(a) Each obligation of the Parent Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national
currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency
after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance
with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of
accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent
with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest
in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with
effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided
that if any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing in the currency of such member state is
outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to
such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest
Period.
(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect
the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market
conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect
a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating
to the change in currency.
SECTION 1.10. Pro Forma Calculations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total
Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section.
(b) In the event that the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes,
guarantees, redeems, repays, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness included in the definitions
of Consolidated Secured Debt or Consolidated Total Debt, as the case may be (in each case, other
than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of
business for working capital purposes), subsequent to the end of the Test Period for which the
Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, as the case may be, is being calculated but
prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then
the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect
to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of
Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.
(c) For purposes of calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio,
Specified Transactions that have been made by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries during the applicable Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or
simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be
calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and the change in
Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test
Period. If since the beginning of any such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any
Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section, then the
Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving
-69-
pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Transaction occurred at the
beginning of the applicable Test Period.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio and Total
Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.14 at the end of a Test Period
(excluding determinations of compliance with such Section on a pro forma basis pursuant to Sections
2.05(b)(ii), 2.14, 6.14 and 7.04), the definition of “Applicable Rate” and Sections 2.05(b)(i) and
2.05(b)(ii), the events described in Sections 1.10(b) and 1.10(c) above that occurred subsequent to
the end of the Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.
(e) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction (other than the
Transactions), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or
accounting officer of the Parent Borrower (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, cost
savings, operating expense reductions and synergies resulting from such Specified Transaction
(other than the Transactions) which is being given pro forma effect that have been or are expected
to be realized and shall be certified in an officers’ certificate by such responsible financial or
accounting officer delivered to the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) such amounts are
reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, (B) actions to realize such amounts are taken
within 12 months after the date of such Specified Transaction, (C) no amounts shall be added
pursuant to this clause to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in
computing Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
calculations of the Total Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate” and
Section 2.05(b)(i) and 2.05(b)(ii) shall not include any cost savings, operating expense reductions
or synergies that have not been actually realized.
SECTION 1.11. Funding Through Applicable Lending Offices. Any Lender may, by notice to the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, designate an Affiliate of such Lender as its
applicable Lending Office with respect to any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans to be
made by such Lender to any Borrower (and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Lender may designate
different applicable Lending Offices to make Loans to the Parent Borrower, on the one hand, and any
Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower, on the other hand, under the same Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility) or make any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan available to any
Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loans.
In the event that a Lender designates an Affiliate of such Lender as its applicable Lending Office
for Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans to any Borrower under the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility or makes any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan available to any
Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loans,
then all Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans and reimbursement obligations to be funded by
such Lender under the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility to such Borrower shall be
funded by such applicable Lending Office or foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate, as applicable,
and all payments of interest, fees, principal and other amounts payable to such Lender under the
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility shall be payable to such applicable Lending Office
or foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate, as applicable. Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, no designation by any Lender of an Affiliate as its applicable Lending Office
or making any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate
of such Lender to make such Loans shall alter the obligation of the applicable Borrower to pay any
principal, interest, fees or other amounts hereunder.

the Parent Borrower as elected by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, a

the Maturity Date (provided that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender agrees to make loans
denominated in Dollars in an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the Initial
Revolving Borrowing on the Closing Date), in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after
giving effect to any Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding
Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount
of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; and (ii)
each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans denominated in
Dollars or an Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving
Borrowers as elected by the relevant Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, an
“Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day after the
Closing Date until the Maturity Date, in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment; provided
that after giving effect to any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Alternative Currency L/C Obligations shall
not exceed such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the
-71-
limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.05,
and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Dollar Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein, and Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Loans (other than Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, which may be

herein.
SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
(a) Each Term Borrowing made after the Closing Date, each Revolving Credit Borrowing (other
than Swing Line Borrowings with respect to which this Section 2.02 shall not apply) made after the
Closing Date (or on the Closing Date in the case of an Initial Revolving Borrowing permitted under
clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Permitted Initial Revolving Borrowing Purposes”), each
conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be made upon the relevant Borrower’s irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time)
(A) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency
Rate Loans and (B) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, and (ii) not later
than 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice
by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal Dollar Amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
the Dollar Amount of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and
2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether
telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the relevant Borrower is requesting a Tranche A
Term Loan, a Tranche B Term Loan, a Tranche C Term Loan, a Delayed Draw 1 Term Loan, a Delayed Draw
2 Term Loan, a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the currency in which the Loans to be borrowed
are to be denominated, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or
Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period
with respect thereto, (vii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, whether
such Revolving Credit Loans are being borrowed under the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility or the
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility and (viii) in the case of Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans, whether the borrower shall be the Parent Borrower or one of the Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers. If the relevant Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a
Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base
Rate Loans (unless the Loan being made or continued is denominated in an Alternative Currency, in
which case it shall be made or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one
month). Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of
the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the
relevant Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period (or fails to give
a timely notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no currency
is specified, the requested Borrowing shall
-72-
be in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the date which is six months after the
Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent), all Eurocurrency Rate Loans may
not have an Interest Period in excess of one (1) month.
(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of
Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the relevant
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency
described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make
the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for the respective currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of
any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time in the case of any Loan
denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is on the Closing Date, Section 4.01), the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the relevant Borrower in like funds as received
by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the relevant Borrower on the
books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such
funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent by the relevant Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan
Notice with respect to a Borrowing under a Revolving Credit Facility is given by any Borrower,
there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first,
to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, to the relevant Borrower as provided
above.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the
existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders may
require that no Loans under the applicable Facility may be converted to or continued as
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and the Required Facility Lenders under the Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Facility may require that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar
Amount thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of
such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding,
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the
Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all
conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all
continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more
than thirty (30) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.
(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of
such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
-73-
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date
of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the
Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall
not have made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and
such Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at
(i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising
such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative,
processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any
amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If
such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or
an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower (to the
extent such amount is covered by interest paid by such Lender) the amount of such interest paid by
such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may
have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Commitments.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A)(1) each Dollar L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in
this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing
Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Dollar Letters of Credit for the account
of the Parent Borrower (provided that any Dollar Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any
Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) and to amend or renew Dollar Letters of Credit previously issued
by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the Dollar Letters of
Credit and (2) the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Dollar Letters
of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03 and (B)(1) each Alternative Currency L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders
set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from
the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Alternative Currency Letters
of Credit denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency for the account of the Parent
Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower (provided that any Alternative Currency
Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or any Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrower) and to amend or renew Alternative Currency Letters of Credit
previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the
Alternative Currency Letters of Credit and (2) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders
severally agree to participate in Alternative Currency Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this
Section 2.03; provided that L/C Issuers shall not be obligated to make L/C Credit Extensions with
respect to Letters of Credit, and Lenders shall not be obligated to participate in Letters of
Credit if, as of the date of the applicable (I) Dollar Letter of Credit, (x) the Dollar Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment or (y)
the Outstanding Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations would exceed the Dollar L/C Sublimit and (II)
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, (x) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure of
any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Alternative
-74-
Currency Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the Outstanding Amount of all Alternative Currency
L/C Obligations would exceed the Alternative Currency L/C Sublimit; provided further that no Letter
of Credit shall be issued by any L/C Issuer the stated amount of which, when added to the
Outstanding Amount of L/C Credit Extensions with respect to such L/C Issuer, would exceed the
applicable Specified L/C Sublimit of such L/C Issuer then in effect. Each request by the Parent
Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Parent Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be
fully revolving, and accordingly the Parent Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed.
(ii) An L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit
would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless
otherwise agreed by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion;
or
(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the applicable
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender shall have approved
such expiry date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of such
requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized.
(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit,
or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall
prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which
such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date,
or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated
hereunder);
(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such
L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; or
(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such
Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than (i) in the case of Dollar
Letters of Credit, Dollars and (ii) in the case of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit,
Dollars or an Alternative Currency.
(iv) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C
Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the
proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Appropriate Lenders with respect to any Letters
of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have
-75-
all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters
of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C
Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect
to the L/C Issuers.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of
Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of
the Parent Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the
form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer
of the Parent Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days prior
to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such
later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole
discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of
Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C
Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any
drawing thereunder; (g) the currency in which the requested Letter of Credit will be denominated
and whether such Letter of Credit shall constitute a Dollar Letter of Credit or an Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit; and (h) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably
request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the
relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment
thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such
other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Parent Borrower and, if not, such
L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the relevant L/C
Issuer has received written notice from any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of a Dollar
Letter of Credit, or any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of an
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of
Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date,
issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or
enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of (x) each
Dollar Letter of Credit, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk
participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Dollar Letter of Credit and (y)
each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender shall
be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C
Issuer a risk participation in such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of
such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit.
-76-
(iii) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions
(each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit
must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month
period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to
the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower at the
time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the
Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any
such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall
be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of
such Letter of Credit at any time until an expiry date not later than the applicable Letter of
Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if
(A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it
has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5)
Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit, or any Alternative Currency
Revolving Letter of Credit Lender, in the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, or the
Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
satisfied.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of
Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C
Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under
such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit denominated
in an Alternative Currency, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Alternative Currency
L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have
specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of
any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Parent Borrower shall have notified the
relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that
the Parent Borrower will reimburse such Alternative Currency L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of
any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer shall notify
the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Amount of the amount of the drawing promptly following the
determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day following the date of
any payment by any L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars (including all
Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars), or the Applicable Time on the third Business Day
following the date of any payment by any L/C Issuer under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit
to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Parent Borrower
shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in the applicable
currency. If the Parent Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars or in the Dollar Amount thereof in the case of an
Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro
Rata Share thereof. In such event, (x) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under a Dollar Letter
of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Dollar Revolving Credit
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and
-77-
(y) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the
Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars, in each case to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit
Facility of the Appropriate Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other
than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer)
shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for
payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Dollar
Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is provided if such notice is
provided prior to 12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar
Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer. Each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer)
shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect
of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in such notice by the Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is
provided if such notice is provided prior to 12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base
Rate Loan in Dollars to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit
the funds so received to the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Dollar Letter of Credit that is
not fully refinanced by a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Parent
Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer a Dollar L/C
Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Dollar L/C
Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate. In such event, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Dollar L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute a Dollar L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03. With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in
respect of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by an Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to
have incurred from the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer an Alternative Currency L/C
Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount in Dollars that is not so refinanced, which
Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation
in such Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an Alternative
-78-
Currency L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under
this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until each Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of
Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the
account of the relevant L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances
to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this
Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the relevant Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the relevant Borrower of a
Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Parent Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any
payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided
herein.
(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such
L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.
A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has
received from any Appropriate Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C
Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
directly from the Parent Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied
thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Appropriate
Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same
funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described
in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its
discretion), each Appropriate Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Overnight
-79-
Rate from time to time in effect. The Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this
clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Parent Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any other Loan Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such
transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of
Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit
to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the
relevant Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant
currency markets generally;
(vi) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for
all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or
(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;
provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Parent Borrower
to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to punitive or consequential damages or lost
profits, claims in respect of which are waived by the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable Law) suffered by the Parent Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions of such L/C
Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such L/C Issuer.
(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Parent Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to
obtain
-80-
any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the
Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or
the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers,
any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any
L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any
action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) a
problem with the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Parent Borrower hereby assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the
Parent Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person,
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 2.03(f); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Parent
Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Parent
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to lost profits or
punitive or consequential damages suffered by the Parent Borrower that were caused by such L/C
Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a
sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Cash Collateral. If (i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required
Lenders require the Parent Borrower to Cash Collateralize its L/C Obligations pursuant to
Section 8.02(c), (ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing
or (iii) for any reason, any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time of termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments and a backstop letter of credit that is satisfactory to the relevant
L/C Issuer in its sole discretion is not in place, then the Parent Borrower shall Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such
Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later
than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (iii), (1) the
Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such
day prior to 12:00 noon or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the
immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under
Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Appropriate
Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash
Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the
Appropriate Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Parent Borrower
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving
Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and
all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the
Administrative Agent and may be invested in Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent
in its sole discretion. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as
Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to
reimburse the relevant
-81-
L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding
Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the excess shall be refunded to the Parent Borrower. In the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, if
such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and
continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Parent Borrower.
(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant L/C
Issuer and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall
apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the
time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(i) Letter of Credit Fees.
(i) The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each
Dollar Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to (A) the Applicable Rate times
the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Dollar Letter of Credit (whether or
not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Dollar Letter of Credit if such maximum amount
increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Dollar Letter of Credit), minus (B) the
fronting fee set forth in Section 2.03(j) below. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the
tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Dollar Letter of Credit, on the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Dollar Letter of Credit shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.
(ii) The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of
Credit fee for each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal
to (A) the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum Dollar Amount then available to be drawn under
such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect
under such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically
pursuant to the terms of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), minus (B) the fronting fee
set forth in Section 2.03(j) below. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly
basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the tenth
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, on the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that
such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Parent
Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to
each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and
thereafter on demand. In addition, the Parent Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for
its own account the customary issuance,
-82-
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of
such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees
and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are
nonrefundable.
(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
(l) Addition of an L/C Issuer.
(i) A Dollar Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Dollar L/C Issuer hereunder
pursuant to a written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders
of any such additional Dollar L/C Issuer.
(ii) An Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Alternative
Currency L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional
Alternative Currency L/C Issuer.
(iii) On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on such other
dates as the Administrative Agent may request), each L/C Issuer shall provide the Administrative
Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time together with
such other information as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(m) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued
or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a
Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder
for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that
the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the
Parent Borrower, and that the Parent Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Subsidiaries.
SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans.
(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line
Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Parent Borrower
from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) prior to the Maturity Date in
an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Dollar L/C Obligations of the Lender acting
as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment;
provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any other Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitment then in effect. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under
Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate
Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a
Swing Line Loan, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a
-83-
risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an
integral multiple of $25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing
(A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations
set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Parent Borrower.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on
behalf of the Parent Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
request on its behalf), that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan
Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard
to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with
a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the
Administrative Agent. Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative
Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in such
Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Dollar Revolving Credit
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan
that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Dollar Revolving
Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted
by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line
Lender that each of the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan and each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.
-84-
(iii) If any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in
effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line
Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount
(with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Dollar
Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any
Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans or
to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation
to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as
provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of
such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received
by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on
any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing
Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the
Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause
(d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for
invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Dollar Revolving
Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to
refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata
Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
-85-
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Parent Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
SECTION 2.05. Prepayments.
(a) Optional.
(i) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time in the case of Loans denominated in
Dollars or Applicable Time in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) (A) three
(3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in
Dollars, (B) four (4) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2)
any partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in
a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case,
if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (it being understood that Base Rate
Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such
notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of principal of, and
interest on, Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in the relevant Alternative
Currency (even if the relevant Borrower is required to convert currency to do so). Each prepayment
of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(ii) The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a
whole multiple of $25,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All Swing
Line Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the relevant
Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such
prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the applicable Facility, which refinancing
shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
(iv) Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied ratably to outstanding Tranche A
Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans, Delayed Draw 1 Term Loans and Delayed Draw
2 Term Loans and, within each such Class, shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments
of principal of such particular Class in a manner determined at the discretion of the Parent
Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment.
-86-

during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by
the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii),
to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness or anything else
other than internally generated cash flow; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the
Total Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements as set forth in the
Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) was less than or equal to 6.0 to 1.0
and greater than 3.0 to 1.0 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Total Leverage Ratio for
the fiscal year covered by such financial statements as set forth in the Compliance Certificate

subject to clause (b)(vi) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans

to 1.0; provided, further, that, except as provided in Section 7.05(f)(i) and (k), no prepayment

Cash Proceeds that the Parent Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice
to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B);
(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received by the Parent Borrower or any
wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition
specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) (including, without
limitation, any Disposition of the Specified Assets)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the
Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
assets useful for its business within (x) eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds or (y) if the Parent Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such
Net Cash Proceeds within eighteen (18)
-87-
months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) eighteen (18) months following

(b)(vi) and (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be
applied within five (5) Business Days after the Parent Borrower reasonably determines that such Net
Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term
Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05.
(iii) If the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness
not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 (other than clause (y)(i)
or clause (s) thereof) or Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the

(iv) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower at any time that the Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Exposure at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days
after receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower shall prepay Alternative Currency Revolving Loans
and/or the Parent Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations in an
aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure as of
such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Alternative Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(g), the Parent
Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations
pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) unless after the prepayment in full of the Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Exposure exceeds the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such
Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against
the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.
(v) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and (b)(iii) shall be
applied first, ratably to outstanding Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Delayed Draw 1
Term Loans and Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans, and within each such Class, such prepayment shall be
applied to remaining scheduled installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in direct
order of maturity, and second, to outstanding Tranche C Term Loans, applied to remaining scheduled
installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of such Tranche C Term Loans in direct order
of maturity. Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be applied first,
to outstanding Tranche C Term Loans, applied to remaining scheduled installments of principal
pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of such Tranche C Term Loans in direct order of maturity, and second,
ratably to outstanding Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Delayed Draw 1 Term Loans and
Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans, and within each such Class, such prepayment shall be applied to
remaining scheduled installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in direct order of
maturity. Each such prepayment of Term Loans allocated in accordance with the prior sentence shall
be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such
prepayment, subject to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b).
(vi) The Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory
prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such
notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of
the amount of
-88-
such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the
contents of the Parent Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s pro rata share of the
prepayment. With respect to prepayments pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (iii) above and to the extent
of Tranche A Term Loans outstanding after giving effect to such prepayment, each Tranche B Term
Loan Lender and Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of
any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Tranche B Term Loans
or Delayed Draw Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) of this
Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative
Agent and the Parent Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the
date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.
Each Rejection Notice from a given Tranche B Term Loan Lender and Delayed Draw Term Lender shall
specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Tranche B Term Loans and Delayed Draw
Term Loans, as applicable, to be rejected by such Lender. If a Tranche B Term Loan Lender or
Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent
within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal
amount of the Tranche B Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will
be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment. Any Declined Proceeds
shall be applied to prepay outstanding Tranche A Term Loans, applied to remaining scheduled
installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in direct order of maturity.
(c) Foreign Asset Sales. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) to
the extent that Net Cash Proceeds of a Casualty Event or Disposition by a Restricted Foreign
Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) are
prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, such
portion of the Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans
at the times provided in this Section 2.05 but may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign
Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to
the United States (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
to promptly take all actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and
once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable
local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds
will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment
of the Term Loans as required pursuant to this Section 2.05 and (ii) to the extent that the Parent
Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of
any Foreign Asset Sale would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash
Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net
Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), (x) the Parent Borrower applies an amount equal to
such Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds had been
received by the Parent Borrower rather than such Restricted Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of
additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds had
been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such
Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a
Restricted Foreign Subsidiary.
(d) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts
owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is
required
-89-
to be made under this Section 2.05 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in
lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate
Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Parent Borrower may, in its sole
discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made
thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash
Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative
Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Parent Borrower
or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with
this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from
the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the
outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05.
SECTION 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
(a) Optional. The Parent Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused
Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such
notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent one (1) Business Day prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of
$500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to
any reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Dollar
Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such
excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment
reduction shall not be applied to the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Parent
Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of
termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of the
applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.
(b) Mandatory. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently
reduced to $0 (i) in the case of each Tranche A Term Loan Lender, upon the making of such Tranche A
Term Loan Lender’s Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i), (ii) in the case of each
Tranche B Term Loan Lender, upon the making of such Tranche B Term Loan Lender’s Tranche B Term
Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii), (iii) in the case of each Tranche C Term Loan Lender, upon
the making of such Tranche C Term Loan Lender’s Tranche C Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(a)(iii) and (iv) in the case of each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, upon the earlier
of (x) the making of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(a)(iv) in the full aggregate amount of its Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and
(y) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall
terminate on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities.
(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the
Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any
reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be
reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other
than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment
fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments
or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be paid on the effective
date of such termination.
-90-
SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans.
(a) Term Loans. The Parent Borrower (and, in the case of the Tranche B Term Loans, the
Subsidiary Co-Borrowers on a joint and several basis) shall repay to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable account of the Term Lenders on the dates set forth on Annex I, or if any such
date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day, an aggregate principal
amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans, the Tranche C Term Loans, the Delayed
Draw 1 Term Loans and the Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans equal to the amount set forth on
Annex I for such date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of
prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05), together in each
case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date
of such payment, and on the Maturity Date, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche A Term
Loans outstanding on such date, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche B Term Loans
outstanding on such date, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche C Term Loans
outstanding on such date, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw 1 Term Loans
outstanding on such date and (v) the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans
outstanding on such date.
(b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Parent Borrower and, in the case of the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans, the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers, jointly
and severally, shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate
Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities the aggregate principal amount of
all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.
(c) Swing Line Loans. The Parent Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity
Date for the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility.
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, all Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this
Section 2.07 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.
SECTION 2.08. Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case
of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan that is an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan of any Lender
which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the
Mandatory Cost; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate for Dollar Revolving Credit Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan (other than an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Loan denominated in Dollars) shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.
(b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder (whether principal,
interest, fees or other amounts) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on
past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall
-91-
be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before
and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.
SECTION 2.09. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and
(j):
(a) Commitment Fee. With respect to each Revolving Credit Facility, the Parent
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit
Lender for such Facility in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to
the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees times the actual daily amount by which
the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment for such Facility exceeds the sum of (A) the
Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans for such Facility and (B) the Outstanding
Amount of L/C Obligations for such Facility; provided that any commitment fee accrued with
respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Facility of a Defaulting
Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid
at such time shall not be payable by the Parent Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been
due and payable by the Parent Borrower prior to such time; provided further that no
commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Facility of
a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment
fees for a Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until
the Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears in Dollars on the
tenth Business Day following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
Maturity Date for such Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in
arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual
daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b) The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee for
the period from and including the first day of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Period
to the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date, computed at the Delayed Draw Commitment Fee
Rate on the average daily amount of the unutilized Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such
Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last
day of each March, June, September and December and on the Delayed Draw Commitment
Termination Date or such earlier date as the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall
terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing
Date.
(c) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees
shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever
(except as expressly agreed between the relevant Borrower and the applicable Agent).
SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base
Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” shall be
made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.
All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual
days
-92-
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with
such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made,
and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall,
subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative
Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained
by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c),
as agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent
manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not,
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
the relevant Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts
or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and
the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and
sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to
Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due
and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each
Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such
account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally.
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for
any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s
-93-
Office for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (except with respect to
payments in an Alternative Currency) on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder in an Alternative Currency shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is
owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day
Funds not later than the Applicable Time on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, any
Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative
Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of the Alternative
Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro
Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii)
after the Applicable Time in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue.
(b) If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business
Day, payment shall be made, unless otherwise specified herein, on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c) Unless the relevant Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any
payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any
Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder, that such Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall
not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender
or L/C Issuer. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative
Agent in Same Day Funds, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall forthwith on demand repay to the
Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender or
L/C Issuer in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and
including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or L/C
Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount
owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made
available to the relevant Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the
applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to
make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in
any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained
or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
-94-
(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If
the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties
under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not
specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall
not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such
time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment
or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.
SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere
herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them
and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by
them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of
them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the
purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to
any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest
thereon. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.10) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such
participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding
in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in
each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that
purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the
right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this
Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
SECTION 2.14. Incremental Credit Extensions.
(a) The Parent Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice
to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to
each of the Lenders), request (a) one or more additional tranches of term loans or, if satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, an increase of an existing tranche of Term Loans (the “Incremental
Term Loans”), (b) one or more increases in the amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments
(each such increase, a “Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase”) or (c) one or more increases in the
amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments (each such increase, an
“Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase” and, together with any Dollar Revolving
Commitment Increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) upon the effectiveness
of any Incremental
-95-
Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) at the
time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto), no Default or
Event of Default shall exist and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any such Incremental Amendment and
at the time any such Incremental Term Loan is made (after giving effect thereto), the Parent
Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.14 for the Test
Period then last ended calculated on a pro forma basis for such Incremental Amendment and/or
Incremental Term Loan in accordance with Section 1.10 (and a certificate from the Chief Financial
Officer of the Parent Borrower demonstrating compliance with such Section calculated in reasonable
detail shall be provided to the Administrative Agent). Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and
each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than
a Dollar Amount of $100,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than a Dollar Amount of
$100,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the
next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the
Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed the sum of (i)
$1,500,000,000 (such amount, the “Initial Incremental Amount”) plus (ii) the excess, if
any, of (x) 0.65 times Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period then last ended prior to the date of
determination and calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with Section 1.10 over (y) the
Initial Incremental Amount plus (iii) the aggregate amount of principal of Term Loans
prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and (iii) since the Closing Date that have not been
refinanced with Indebtedness under this Agreement. The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari
passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, (b)
shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Term Loans (or the
Tranche A Term Loans in the case of any increase of the Tranche A Term Loans) and (c) shall be
treated substantially the same as the Tranche B Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to
mandatory and voluntary prepayments), provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to
Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Term Loans to the extent such
differences (other than interest rates and amortization schedule) are reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to the
Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the lenders thereof; provided
that the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than
that of the Tranche B Term Loans (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Term Loans
prior to the time of such incurrence). Each notice from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this
Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term
Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving
Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing
Term Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan and no existing
Revolving Credit Lender will have an obligation to provide a portion of any Revolving Commitment
Increase), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.14 and otherwise on terms reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, or by any other lender (any such other lender being called
an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental
Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under
Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such
Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving
Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to
be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable
Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, an accession by each Additional Lender to the Loss Sharing Agreement), executed by the
Parent Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender,
if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any
other Lenders or Loan Parties, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent
and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness
-96-
of (and, in the case of any Incremental Amendment for an Incremental Term Loan, the
borrowing under) any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof
of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to
“the date of such Credit Extension” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to
refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties
thereto shall agree. The Parent Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and
Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement; provided that
(i) to the extent the proceeds of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases are
being used to refinance Retained Existing Notes, such refinancing occurs no earlier than the final
maturity date of such Retained Existing Notes, and (ii) any amount of Incremental Term Loans in
excess of the Initial Incremental Amount may only be used to refinance Existing Notes on their
final maturity date. Upon each increase in (A) the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to
this Section 2.14, (x) each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will
automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion
of the Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”),
and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be
deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder
in outstanding Dollar Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each
such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Dollar Letters of Credit and (ii) participations
hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including each such
Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments of all Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) if, on the date of such increase,
there are any Dollar Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Dollar Revolving Credit Loans shall
on or prior to the effectiveness of such Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the
proceeds of additional Dollar Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on
the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance
with Section 3.05 and (B) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.14, (x) each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such
increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender
providing a portion of the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase (each an “Alternative
Currency Revolving Commitment Increase Lender” and, together with each Dollar Revolving Commitment
Increase Lender, the “Revolving Commitment Increase Lenders”), and each such Alternative Currency
Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have
assumed, a portion of such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder
in outstanding Alternative Currency Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such
deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding
participations hereunder in Alternative Currency Letters of Credit held by each Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment
Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Commitments of all Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) if, on the date of such
increase, there are any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Alternative Currency
Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance
with Section 3.05. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum
borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence.
-97-
(b) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.15. Designation of Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower, Termination of
Designations.
(a) The Parent Borrower may from time to time designate any Qualified Foreign Subsidiary as an
additional Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower for purposes of this Agreement by delivering to
the Administrative Agent (i) written notice of election to become a Foreign Subsidiary Revolving
Borrower (an “Election to Participate”) duly executed on behalf of such Qualified Foreign
Subsidiary and the Parent Borrower, (ii) any document reasonably required by the Administrative
Agent for such Qualified Foreign Subsidiary to satisfy all requirements with respect to a Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrower set forth in the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”
and Section 6.11 (without giving effect to any grace periods), including, without limitation, legal
opinions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and mortgages and perfection of Liens on personal
property and (iii) all documentation and other information with respect to such Subsidiary required
by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act.
(b) The Parent Borrower may terminate the status of any Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower for purpose of making further Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowings
hereunder this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a written notice of election to
terminate such status as a Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower (an “Election to Terminate”) duly
executed on behalf of such Subsidiary and the Parent Borrower; provided, at the time of such
Election to Terminate, such Subsidiary shall have no Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans or
Alternative Currency Letters of Credit outstanding. After the delivery of such Election to
Terminate such Subsidiary shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement as a Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrower, but after the delivery of such Election to Terminate such Subsidiary
shall still be deemed to be a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement and the delivery of
such an Election to Terminate shall not affect the obligations of any other Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or thereafter incurred by any
other Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower.
(c) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to a Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or
its lending office is reduced) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, by reason of the
fact that such Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a
jurisdiction outside the United States, such Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower shall indemnify
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within fifteen (15) days after demand by such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.15(c)
any such increased costs resulting from (i) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income
or overall gross income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in
lieu of net income taxes, by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political
subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or maintains a
lending office, (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) (as to which Section
3.04(c) shall govern) and (iii) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services
Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost (as to which Section 3.04(a)
shall govern)). A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.15(c) and
setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder in reasonable detail
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(d) Each Lender will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event or circumstance of which it has
-98-
knowledge that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15(c), then such Lender will, if requested by the
Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any
Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that,
in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no
material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.
ARTICLE III
Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality
SECTION 3.01. Taxes.
(a) Except as required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable
withholding agent), any and all payments by any Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of
any Agent or any Lender (which term shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include, for the purposes of
Section 3.01, any L/C Issuer) under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to
tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, imposed by any Governmental Authority (“Taxes”).
If a Borrower or a Guarantor or the Administrative Agent is required by law (as determined in the
good faith discretion of any applicable withholding agent) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (as
defined below) or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any
Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by such Borrower or such Guarantor
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), each of such Agent and such
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Borrower or such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions, (iii)
such Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing
authority, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or
evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), such
Borrower or such Guarantor shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original
or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other documentary evidence of
payment satisfactory to such Agent or Lender. If any Borrower or any Guarantor fails to pay any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to
any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower
or such Guarantor shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental Taxes that may
become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure. “Indemnified Taxes”
refers to any Taxes arising from any payment made under any Loan Document excluding, in the case of
each Agent and each Lender, (i) net income Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any
connection between such Agent or Lender and such jurisdiction other than the connection arising
from executing or entering into any Loan Document or any of the Transactions contemplated by any
Loan Document, (ii) Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including branch profits),
franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, (iii) any withholding taxes to
the extent imposed at the time a Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending
office), except (x) to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the
time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts or
indemnity payments from any Loan Party with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section
3.01 or (y) if such Foreign Lender is an assignee pursuant to a request by a Borrower and (iv) any
Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of any Lender to comply with either the provisions of
Section 3.01(b) or (c) (in the case of any Foreign Lender) or the provisions of Section 3.01(d) (in
the case of any U.S. Lender).
-99-
(b) To the extent it is legally able to do so, each Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to
which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) that is not a “United States
person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to
complete and deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing
Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), an accurate,
complete and original signed copy of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty
to which the United States is a party that reduces or eliminates U.S. federal withholding tax on
payments of interest; (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income
receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States; (iii) if the Foreign Lender (A) is not a bank described in Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) is not a 10-percent shareholder described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of
the Code, (C) has income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document that is not effectively connected
with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (D) is not a controlled foreign
corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, a certificate
to that effect in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L and an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person; or
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of any obligation of any Borrower
or any Guarantor hereunder (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating
Lender granting a typical participation), duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, certificate in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit L Form W-9 or Form W-8IMY from each beneficial owner, as applicable.
(c) Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall, (i) promptly, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, submit to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent
such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or
such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United
States taxing authorities) as may then be available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the
rate of U.S. federal withholding tax (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or
other evidence previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of a
change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form,
certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of
any change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
previously claimed exemption or reduction.
(d) Each Agent or Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent an accurate, complete and original signed Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 or successor form certifying that such Agent or Lender is not subject to United
States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the
date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or
becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the
Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
(e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender is subject to
U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such
Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement, such U.S. federal withholding tax (including
additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S. federal withholding tax)
shall be considered excluded from Indemnified Taxes except to the extent the Foreign Lender’s
assignor was entitled to additional amounts or indemnity payments prior to the assignment or the
assignment was pursuant to a request
-100-
of a Borrower. Further, no Borrower shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay
any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, with respect to
Indemnified Taxes to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to such Indemnified
Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party
to this Agreement) solely as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing
business of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such Lender (other than at
the written request of a Borrower to change such Lending Office).
(f) Each Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary
taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery,
performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document
(including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such
amounts that result from an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation,
transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for
receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”) to the extent such
Assignment Taxes result from a connection that the Agent or Lender has with the taxing jurisdiction
other than the connection arising out of the Loan Document or the transactions therein, except for
Assignment Taxes resulting from assignment or participation that is requested or required in
writing by the Parent Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(f) being
hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(g) If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent or Lender,
such Agent or Lender may pay such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and the relevant Borrower will
promptly pay such additional amounts so that each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted;
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that if the
relevant Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or
reasonably asserted, each such Agent or Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such
Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes (which shall be repaid such Borrower in
accordance with Section 3.01(h)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole good faith
determination of such Agent or Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be
otherwise disadvantageous to it. Payments under this Section 3.01(g) shall be made within ten (10)
days after the date such Borrower receives written demand for payment from such Agent or Lender. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
the Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender or any other Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(h) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to receive
a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or
additional amounts have been paid to it by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to receive such refund and upon receipt of any such refund
shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the relevant Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the
relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to such Borrower, net of all reasonable out of
pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that each
Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return
such refund to such party, together with any interest and penalties charged by the relevant taxing
authority, in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing
authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the relevant Borrower with a
copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received
from the
-101-
relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information
therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential in its reasonable discretion). Nothing herein
contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in
whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or make
available its tax returns or any other information it reasonably deems confidential or require any
Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits,
relief, remission or repayments to which it may be entitled.
(i) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 3.01(a) or (g) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the relevant Borrower,
use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the
effect of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of
Credit affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms
which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes required to be
deducted or withheld or paid by the relevant Borrower; provided that such efforts are made at the
relevant Borrower’s expense and on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause
such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(i) shall affect or postpone
any of the Obligations of such Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or
(g).
SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made
it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or
its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans
to such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and shall upon demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are
denominated in Dollars, convert all then outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such
Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender
may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Parent Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion
under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender,
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
SECTION 3.03. Inability To Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that by
reason of any changes affecting the applicable interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits are not being offered to
banks in the relevant interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period
of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case due to circumstances arising on or after the date
hereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans
shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders)
revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency
-102-
Rate Loans or, failing that, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, will be deemed
to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein.
SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on
Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of, or any change
in, or in the interpretation of, any Law, in each case after the date hereof, there shall be any
increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the
amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for
purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i)
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition
of Indemnified Taxes under exception (i) thereof to the extent such Taxes are imposed on or
measured by net income or profits or branch profits or franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of the
foregoing taxes) and any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exceptions
(ii) and (iii) thereof, (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c), (iii) the
requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central
Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost or that does not represent the cost to such Lender of
complying with the requirements of any applicable Law in relation to its making, funding or
maintaining of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (iv) the implementation or application of or compliance
with the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised
Framework” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 in the form
existing on the date of this Agreement (“Basel II”) or any other law or regulation which implements
Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, the
Lenders or any of their Affiliates or the Agents or any of their Affiliates)), then from time to
time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such
increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with
Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. At any time that any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is
affected by the circumstances described in this Section 3.04(a), the Borrowers may either (i) if
the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such
Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing)
thereof on the same date that the Borrowers receive any such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the
affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then outstanding and is denominated in Dollars, upon at least
three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert
such Eurocurrency Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, if applicable.
(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or
any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or
compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of
such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the
charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall promptly pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction after receipt
of such demand.
(c) The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency
funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate
Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as
determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error), and (ii) as
-103-
long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or
analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in
respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such
additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the
nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such
Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such Loan, provided the Parent Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’
prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from
such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant
Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days
from receipt of such notice.
(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if
requested by the Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending
Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made
on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending
Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further
that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the
Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c).
SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting such amount, each Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold
such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense reasonably incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan
on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date
or in the amount notified by such Borrower;
including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.
(a) Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a
certificate to the Parent Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount,
such Agent or Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or
3.04, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more
than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent
Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise
to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the
Borrowers under Section 3.04, the Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest
Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or
-104-
to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving
rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall
be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive
the compensation so requested.
(c) If any Lender gives notice to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the
conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist
(which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall
be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such
outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto,
all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata
(as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares.
SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.
(a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases
to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or
Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a
Non-Consenting Lender, then the Parent Borrower may, on five (5) Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to
(and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.07(b)
(with the assignment fee to be paid by the Parent Borrower, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii)
only) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii)
above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is
the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees;
provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the
Parent Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the
applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of
the Loan Documents. No such replacement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the
Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced
Lender.
(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver
an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such
Loans to the Parent Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu
thereof). Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or
a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) the assignee Lender shall purchase, at
par, all Loans, accrued interest, accrued fees and other amounts owing to the assigning Lender as
of the date of replacement and (C) upon such payment (regardless of whether such replaced Lender
has executed an Assignment and Assumption or delivered its Notes to the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender
shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and
participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall
survive as to such assigning Lender.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C
Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding

hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the
furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer
reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash
collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C

ARTICLE IV
Conditions Precedent to Credit Extensions

to make a Credit Extension hereunder on the Closing Date is subject to satisfaction of the
following conditions precedent:
(a) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of executed counterparts of (i) this Agreement,

(b) Prior to or substantially simultaneously with the initial Credit Extension on the Closing
Date, the Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement; provided that none of the
following provisions of the Merger Agreement shall have been amended or waived in any respect
materially adverse to the Lenders without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers, not to
be unreasonably withheld: Sections 2.01, 2.03, 3.01, 6.01(c) (but only to the extent such
amendment or waiver would have been required if the reference therein to $100 million were replaced

of a breach of any of the foregoing provisions of Article VI of the Merger Agreement).
(c) Prior to or substantially simultaneously with the initial Credit Extensions on the Closing
Date, the Equity Contribution shall have been consummated.
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and the disbursement of the Debt Funding (as

Funding shall be deemed to constitute an initial Credit Extension hereunder. The Parent Borrower
may also obtain an Initial Revolving Borrowing permitted under clause (a)(ii) of the definition of
“Permitted
-106-
Initial Revolving Borrowing Purposes” by delivery to the Administrative Agent and, if
applicable, the relevant L/C Issuer of a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the
requirements hereof. The Lenders may terminate their obligations to make Loans or other Credit
Extensions hereunder if the foregoing conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived pursuant
to Section 10.01) at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the earliest of (i) the
twentieth Business Day following the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval (as defined in
the Merger Agreement), (ii) the twentieth Business Day following the failure to obtain the
Requisite Shareholder Approval at a duly held Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) after giving effect to all adjournments and postponements thereof, (iii) five Business
Days following the termination of the Merger Agreement or (iv) December 31, 2008 (the “Termination
Date”); provided, however, that if (A) the Requisite Shareholder Approval is obtained and (B) any
regulatory approval required in connection with the consummation of the Merger has not been
obtained (or has lapsed and not been renewed) or any waiting period under applicable antitrust laws
has not expired (or has restarted and such new period has not expired), then the Termination Date
shall automatically be extended until the twentieth Business Day following receipt of all such
approvals (or renewals), but in no event later than March 31, 2009. If as of the Termination Date
there is a dispute among any of the parties to the Escrow Agreement with respect to the disposition
of any Escrow Funds (as defined in the Escrow Agreement), Merger Sub may, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent, extend the Termination Date until the fifth Business Day following the final
resolution of such dispute by a court of competent jurisdiction or mutual resolution by the parties
to such dispute; provided, however, that the Termination Date with respect to any Lender shall
occur on the date such Lender withdraws its portion of the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 5(f) of

Eurocurrency Rate Loans) is subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) Except in the case of borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans, the representations and
warranties of the Parent Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V or any other
Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such
Credit Extension; provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as
of such earlier date; provided, further that any representation and warranty that is qualified as
to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after
giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates.
(b) (i) Except in the case of borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans, no Default shall exist,
or would result from such proposed Credit Extension or from the application of the proceeds
therefrom and (ii) in the case of borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans, no Default under Section
8.01(a) or (j) (with respect to Parent Borrower only in the case of Section 8.01(j)) shall exist,
or would result from such proposed Credit Extension or from the application of the proceeds
therefrom.
(c) The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements
hereof.
Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a
conversion of Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) submitted by a
Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in
Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Credit

the administrator or sponsor of the applicable Multiemployer Plan upon reasonable request by
the Administrative Agent, the applicable Person shall promptly make a request for such
documents or notices from such administrator or sponsor and shall provide copies of such
documents and notices promptly after receipt thereof.
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 or Section 6.02(a) or 6.02(c) may
be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date
(i) on which the Parent Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Parent
Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 10.02; or
(ii) on which such documents are posted on the Parent Borrower’s behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency
or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access
(whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent);
provided that: (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall
deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each
Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative
Agent and (ii) the Parent Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the
Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents or a link thereto and provide to the
Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents.
Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting
delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies
of such documents.
The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agents and/or the Arrangers will make available to the Lenders Communications by posting such
Communications on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain
of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material
non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”). The Parent Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to
identify that portion of the Communications that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that
(w) all such Communications shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum,
shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by
marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such
Communications as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive
and proprietary) with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United
States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Communications
constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all
Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform
designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled
to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a
portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party
regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with
respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for any action
taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or
designation, including any action as a result of which
-116-
Restricting Information is provided to a Lender that may decide not to take access to
Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 6.02 shall modify or limit a Lender’s obligations
under Section 10.08 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or
other treatment of Information.
Although the Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable
security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to
time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization
System) and the Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby
each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and each Loan
Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not
necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such
distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution
of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes the
risks of such distribution.
THE PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE.” NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE
ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM AND
EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY
THE AGENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.
Each of the Lenders and each Loan Party agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except
as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic
Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable
document retention procedures and policies.
SECTION 6.03. Notices. Promptly after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge
thereof, notify the Administrative Agent:
(a) of the occurrence of any Default; and
(b) of (i) any dispute, litigation, investigation or proceeding between any Loan Party
and any Governmental Authority, (ii) the commencement of, or any material development in,
any litigation or proceeding affecting any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, including pursuant
to any applicable Environmental Laws or in respect of IP Rights, the occurrence of any
noncompliance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with, or liability under, any
Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, or (iii) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that,
in any such case, has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a written statement of a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower (x) that such notice is being delivered pursuant to
Section 6.03(a) or (b) (as applicable) and (y) setting forth details of the occurrence referred to
therein and stating what action the Parent Borrower has taken and proposes to take with respect
thereto.
-117-
SECTION 6.04. Payment of Obligations. Timely pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy, as
the same shall become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in respect of Taxes
imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, except, in each case,
to the extent (i) any such Tax is being contested in good faith and by appropriate actions for
which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (ii) the failure to pay
or discharge the same would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 6.05. Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in
full force and effect its legal existence under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
(b) take all reasonable action to maintain all corporate rights and privileges (including its good
standing) to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction and (c) maintain all other
material rights and privileges (including, without limitation, material Broadcast Licenses) except,
in the case of (a) (other than in the case of the Borrowers except to the extent expressly
permitted by Section 7.04), (b) or (c) to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or pursuant to a transaction permitted by Article VII.
SECTION 6.06. Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, maintain, preserve and protect all of its
material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order,
repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted and
consistent with past practice.
SECTION 6.07. Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) Maintain with insurance companies that the Parent Borrower believes (in the good faith
judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage
is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage
of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of
such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary
for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Parent Borrower and
the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other
Persons.
(b) If any portion of any Mortgaged Property is at any time located in an area identified by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a Special Flood Hazard Area
with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then (i) maintain, or cause
to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and
otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to
the Flood Insurance Laws.
(c) All such insurance (other than business interruption insurance) as to which the
Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested to be so named, shall name the Administrative
Agent as loss payee and/or additional insured, as applicable; provided, however, that the naming of
the Administrative Agent as loss payee is only for the purpose of perfecting the Lien on the
Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to the extent
required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.
SECTION 6.08. Compliance with Laws.
(a) Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs,
injunctions and decrees of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or to its business or property,
-118-
except if the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(b) (i) Operate all of the Broadcast Stations in material compliance with the Communications
Laws and the FCC’s rules, regulations and published policies promulgated thereunder and with the
terms of the Broadcast Licenses, (ii) timely file all required reports and notices with the FCC and
pay all amounts due in timely fashion on account of fees and charges to the FCC and (iii) timely
file and prosecute all applications for renewal or for extension of time with respect to all of the
FCC Authorizations, except, in each case, for any failure which would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 6.09. Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in
which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with
GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters
involving the assets and business of the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
may be.
SECTION 6.10. Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine
its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom
(other than the records of the Board of Directors of such Loan Party or such Restricted Subsidiary)
and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent
public accountants (subject to customary access agreements), all at the reasonable expense of the
Parent Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be
reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Parent Borrower; provided that, excluding
any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders under this Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights
more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default
and only one (1) such time shall be at the Parent Borrower’s expense; provided further that when an
Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective
representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the
Parent Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Parent Borrower the opportunity to participate
in any discussions with the Parent Borrower’s independent public accountants. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10, none of the Parent Borrower or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or
abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes
non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which
disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or
contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client
or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.
SECTION 6.11. Covenant To Guarantee Obligations and Give Security. At the Parent
Borrower’s expense, take all action necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent
to ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement continues to be satisfied, including:
(a) (1) upon the formation, acquisition or designation (x) by any U.S. Loan Party of
any existing or new direct or indirect wholly-owned Material Domestic Subsidiary (other than
an Excluded Subsidiary) that is a Restricted Subsidiary (for the avoidance of doubt,
including CCOH and its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries which are Material Domestic
Subsidiaries but not Excluded Subsidiaries upon CCOH becoming wholly-owned by the Loan
Parties) or (y) by any U.S. Loan Party or Foreign Loan Party of any direct or indirect
wholly-owned Material Foreign Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that is a
Restricted Subsidiary or (2) upon the
-119-
designation by any Loan Party of any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a direct or
indirect wholly-owned Material Domestic Subsidiary or Material Foreign Subsidiary referred
to in the foregoing clause (x) or (y) (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) as a Restricted
Subsidiary in accordance with Section 6.14:
(i) within 45 days after such formation, acquisition or designation, or such
longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its discretion:
(A) (x) cause each such Restricted Subsidiary that is required to
become a Guarantor pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to
duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Guaranty (or
supplement thereto) and (y) cause each such Restricted Subsidiary that is
required to xxxxx x Xxxx on any Collateral pursuant to the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement to duly execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent Mortgages with respect to any Material Real Property, Guaranties,
Security Agreement Supplements, Intellectual Property Security Agreements
and other security agreements and documents, as reasonably requested by and
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
(consistent with the Mortgages, Security Agreement, Intellectual Property
Security Agreements and other security agreements in effect on the Closing
Date), in each case granting Liens required by, and subject to the
limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement;
(B) cause each Loan Party that is required to pledge any Equity
Interests or intercompany note held by such Loan Party pursuant to the
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to deliver any and all certificates
representing Equity Interests and intercompany notes (to the extent
certificated) that are required to be pledged pursuant to the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement, accompanied by undated stock or note powers or other
appropriate instruments of transfer, indorsed in blank to the Administrative
Agent; and
(C) take and cause such Restricted Subsidiary and each direct or
indirect parent of such Restricted Subsidiary to take whatever action
(including the recording of Mortgages, the filing of UCC financing
statements and delivery of stock and membership interest certificates) as
may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to
vest in the Administrative Agent (or in any representative of the
Administrative Agent designated by it) valid and perfected Liens to the
extent required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, and to
otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement;
(ii) if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, within forty-five
(45) days after such request, deliver to the Administrative Agent a signed copy of
an opinion, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, of counsel for
the Loan Parties reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to such
matters set forth in this Section 6.11(a) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request; and
(iii) as promptly as practicable after the request therefor by the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent with respect to each
parcel of Material Real Property constituting Collateral, any existing title
reports, abstracts, surveys or environmental assessment reports, to the extent
available and in the possession or control of
-120-
the Parent Borrower; provided, however, that there shall be no obligation to
deliver to the Administrative Agent any existing environmental assessment report
whose disclosure to the Administrative Agent would require the consent of a Person
other than the Parent Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries, where, despite the
commercially reasonable efforts of the Parent Borrower to obtain such consent, such
consent cannot be obtained.
(b) If after the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary creates
or acquires any License Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary, then the Parent Borrower
shall, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 days (as such date may be extended
by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), designate such License Subsidiary as a
Retained Existing Notes Indenture Unrestricted Subsidiary.
(c) If any Principal Properties Certificate required to be delivered hereunder
demonstrates that the Principal Properties Collateral Amount does not exceed the Principal
Properties Permitted Amount multiplied by 2.5, then the Parent Borrower shall cause, as soon
as practicable (and in any event within 120 days (as such date may be extended in writing by
the Administrative Agent in its discretion) after the date of delivery of such Principal
Properties Certificate) Additional Principal Properties of the Parent Borrower or any U.S.
Guarantor, as selected by the Parent Borrower, having a Fair Market Value, as determined by
the Parent Borrower (acting reasonably and in good faith), that would result in, after
giving effect to grant of a Lien thereon, the aggregate Principal Properties Collateral
Amount being at least 2.5 times the Principal Properties Permitted Amount, to be subject to
a Lien and Mortgage in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall take, or cause the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be
necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record
such Lien, in each case to the extent required by, and subject to the limitations and
exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the
requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.
(d) If after the Closing Date, the Loan Parties acquire any asset or group of assets
with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 (as determined by the Parent Borrower
(acting reasonably and in good faith)) the Parent Borrower shall within 45 days following
the end of the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition occurred make a determination
(acting reasonably and in good faith) as to whether such asset or group of assets
constitutes Non-Principal Property. If the Parent Borrower determines that such asset or
group of assets constitutes Non-Principal Property, the Parent Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such designation by delivery of an Additional Non-Principal
Properties Certificate determining that such Non-Principal Property constitutes Additional
Non-Principal Properties Collateral and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the
applicable Loan Party will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien and Mortgage, if
applicable, in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
will take, and cause the other applicable Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be
necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as soon as commercially
reasonable but in no event later than 75 days following the end of the quarter in which such
acquisition occurred, unless extended by the Administrative Agent in writing in its
discretion, to grant and perfect the Liens required by, and subject to the limitations and
exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the
requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement. Any designation made by the
Parent Borrower in accordance with this paragraph (d) shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.
(e) If (i) the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party Disposes of any Non-Principal
Properties Collateral with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 as determined by the
Parent Borrower (acting reasonably and in good faith), and (ii) the Parent Borrower does not
give
-121-
written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest, in accordance
with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Disposition in
Additional Non-Principal Properties Collateral that will be subject to a Lien and Mortgage
in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in which case
the Parent Borrower shall take, or cause the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as
shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect
or record such Lien, in each case to the extent required by, and subject to the limitations
and exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the
requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement), then, as soon as practicable (in
the reasonable judgment of the Parent Borrower) the Parent Borrower shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to (x) designate Additional Non-Principal Properties Collateral having an
equal or greater Fair Market Value, as determined by the Parent Borrower (acting reasonably
and in good faith), than the Fair Market Value of such Disposed Collateral and (y) cause
such Additional Non-Principal Properties to be subject to a Lien and Mortgage if applicable,
in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and take, or
cause the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien, in each case
to the extent required by, and subject to the limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement.
(f) No later than 60 days after the satisfaction of the Existing Notes Condition
(unless extended by the Administrative Agent in writing in its discretion), the Parent
Borrower shall, in each case at the Parent Borrower’s expense, cause the assets of each
Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor to be subject to a Lien and Mortgage in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and take, or cause the relevant
Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien, in each case to the extent
required by, and subject to the limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement and to otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement (it being understood and agreed that any Existing Notes that, unless the
Existing Notes Condition has been satisfied pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
thereof, shall then be outstanding shall be permitted to be equally and ratably secured by
such assets under this clause (f) to the extent required by the term of the Retained
Existing Notes Indenture).
(g) Not later than 60 days after the acquisition by any Foreign Loan Party of any real
or personal property with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 as determined by the
Parent Borrower (acting reasonably and in good faith) that is required to be provided as
Collateral pursuant to the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement,” which
property would not be automatically subject to another Lien pursuant to pre-existing
Collateral Documents, cause such property to be subject to a Lien and Mortgage in favor of
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and take, or cause the
relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien, in each case to the
extent required by, and subject to the limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parent Borrower
shall not be required to (i) deliver any Mortgages or related documentation prior to the
date that is 120 days after the Closing Date, which may be extended by the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion, or (ii) take any action or deliver any document set forth on
Schedule 6.11(h) before the
-122-
time limit set forth on such Schedule with respect to such action or document, any such
time limit which may be extended by the Administrative Agent acting in its sole discretion.
SECTION 6.12. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except, in each case, to the extent
that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) comply, and take all reasonable actions to cause any
lessees and other Persons operating or occupying its properties or facilities to comply with all
applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; (b) obtain and renew all Environmental
Permits necessary for its operations, properties and facilities; and (c) in each case to the extent
required by applicable Environmental Laws, conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing,
and undertake any response or other corrective action necessary to investigate, remove and clean up
all Hazardous Materials at, on, under, or emanating from any of its properties and facilities, in
accordance with the requirements of all applicable Environmental Laws.
SECTION 6.13. Further Assurances and Post-Closing Deliveries.
(a) From time to time duly authorize, execute and deliver, or cause to be duly authorized,
executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates, financing statements, agreements
or documents, and take all reasonable actions (including filing UCC and other financing

rights of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with respect to the
Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds or products
thereof or with respect to any other property or assets hereafter acquired by the Parent Borrower
or any other Loan Party which may be deemed to be part of the Collateral to the extent required by
the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement), in each case subject to the limitations and exceptions
set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.
(b) Within five Business Days of the Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed between the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent), the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the following documents, each of which shall be originals or facsimiles (followed promptly by

Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after
such designation, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Parent Borrower shall
be in compliance with Section 7.14 calculated on a pro forma basis for such designation in
accordance with Section 1.10 (and, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such
designation, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating satisfaction of such test) and (iii) no
Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, after such designation, it would be
a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purpose of the ABL Facilities, the New Senior Notes, or any other

an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Parent Borrower therein at the
date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of the Parent Borrower’s investment
therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall
constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such

principal amount of its consolidated funded long-term Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date
(excluding Revolving Credit Loans) is effectively subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate.
SECTION 6.16. License Subsidiaries.
(a) Use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all material Broadcast Licenses
obtained on or after the Closing Date are held at all times by one or more Retained Existing Notes
Indenture Unrestricted License Subsidiaries; provided, however, such requirement will not apply if
holding any Broadcast License in a Retained Existing Notes Indenture Unrestricted License
Subsidiary (i) is reasonably likely to have material adverse tax, operational or strategic
consequences to the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by
the Parent Borrower) or (ii) requires any approval of the FCC or any other Governmental Authority
that has not been obtained (the Parent Borrower agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any such approval).
-124-
(b) Ensure that each License Subsidiary engages only in the business of holding Broadcast
Licenses and rights and activities related thereto.
(c) Ensure that the FCC Authorizations held by each License Subsidiary are not (i) commingled
with the property of any Borrower and any Subsidiary thereof other than another License Subsidiary
or (ii) transferred by such License Subsidiary to the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than any other License Subsidiary), except in connection with a Disposition permitted under
Section 7.05.
(d) Ensure that no License Subsidiary has any Indebtedness or other material liabilities
except (a) liabilities arising under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (b) trade
payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, tax liabilities incidental to ownership of
such rights and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, including those in
connection with agreements necessary or desirable to operate a Broadcast Station, including
retransmission consent, affiliation, programming, syndication, time brokerage, joint sales, lease

(dd) Indebtedness of any Non-Loan Party that is Restricted Subsidiary in an amount not

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Restricted Subsidiary that is not a U.S. Loan Party will

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the
incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a
foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the
date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of
revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund,
refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such
extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable
Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate
in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or
defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long
as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of
such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased plus the
aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such refinancing.
The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the
form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for
purposes of this Section 7.03. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or
other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof
that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Parent Borrower dated such date prepared in
accordance with GAAP.

acknowledge coverage thereof) and such judgment or order shall not have been satisfied,
vacated, discharged or stayed or bonded pending an appeal for a period of sixty (60)

in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected lien, with the priority
required by the Collateral Documents (or other security purported to be created on the
applicable Collateral) on any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered
thereby, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01, except to the extent that any such
loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Administrative Agent to
maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged
under the Collateral Documents or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements
and except as to Collateral consisting of real property to the extent that such losses are
covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and such insurer has not denied or failed to
acknowledge coverage, or (ii) any of the Equity Interests of any Borrower ceasing to be
pledged pursuant to the Security Agreements free of Liens other than Liens created by the
Security Agreements or any nonconsensual Liens permitted by Section 7.01; or

Junior Financing with an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Threshold Amount or
(ii) the subordination provisions set forth in any Junior Financing Documentation governing
Junior Financing with an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Threshold Amount

enforceable against the holders of any such Junior Financing, if applicable; or
(l) Change of Control. There occurs any Change of Control.
SECTION 8.02. Remedies upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, take any or all
of the following actions:
(a) declare Commitments of each Lender and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make
L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be
terminated;
(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued
and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower;
(c) require that the Parent Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an
amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and
(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to
it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;
provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect
to any Borrower under the Debtor Relief Laws, the Commitments of each Lender and any obligation of
the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal
amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically
become due and payable, and the obligation of the Parent Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
SECTION 8.03. Application of Funds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, after the
exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become
immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash
Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the
Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities,
expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs
payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
-153-
Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities
and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including
Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably
among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of
the Loans and L/C Borrowings, Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations, ratably
among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Fourth held by them; provided that any proceeds from the exercise of remedies against
collateral that constitutes Specified Assets shall be allocated to repay Obligations
constituting unpaid principal of the Tranche C Term Loans prior to repayment of any other
Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, Hedging
Obligations and Cash Management Obligations;
Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of
Letters of Credit;
Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and
payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably
based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full, to the Parent Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of
Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such
Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all
Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain
outstanding, to the Parent Borrower.
SECTION 8.04. Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article VIII, in the event that the Parent Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of
Section 7.14 as of the end of any relevant Test Period, until the date that is 10 days after the
date the financial statements with respect to such Test Period are required to be delivered
pursuant to Section 6.01, Parent shall have the right to make an equity investment in the Parent
Borrower (other than in the form of Disqualified Equity Interests) in cash or otherwise make cash
common equity contributions to the Parent Borrower (in each case, with the proceeds of any equity
investment made in Parent by the Sponsors) (the “Cure Right”), and upon receipt by the Parent
Borrower of such cash contributions (the “Cure Amount”), the Parent Borrower’s compliance with
Section 7.14 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:
(i) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.14,
including determining compliance with Section 7.14 as of the end of such Test Period and applicable
subsequent periods that include such fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right is exercised by an
amount equal to the Cure Amount and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing calculations (but
not, for the avoidance of doubt, giving pro forma effect to any repayment of Indebtedness in
connection therewith), the requirements of Section 7.14 shall be satisfied, then the requirements
of Section 7.14
-154-
shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Test Period with the same
effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable
breach or default of Section 7.14 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in each four fiscal quarter period
there shall be a period of at least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised,
(y) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with
Section 7.14 and (z) the Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining compliance
with any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any other provision that
requires compliance with Section 7.14 on a pro forma basis).
ARTICLE IX
Administrative Agent and Other Agents
SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan
Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by
the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in
any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Article (other than
Sections 9.10 and 9.12) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and
neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of such provisions.
(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the
benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to
any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued
by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this
Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to
such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if
applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank)
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to
hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust
for) such Lender and its Affiliates for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all
Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the
Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes
-155-
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted
under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the
direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this
Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were
the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize
the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the
Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto (including the Intercreditor
Agreement), as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the
Lenders.
SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral
Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, sub-agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact (including for the purpose of any Borrowing or payment in
Alternative Currencies) as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent (other than to a
Disqualified Institution) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or
experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each such sub-agent and the Affiliates
of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all
provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (as though such sub-agents were the
“Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
SECTION 9.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in
any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made
by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the execution,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported
to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other
party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related
Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection
or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Collateral
Documents, (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, or
(vi) or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. No
Agent-Related Person shall have any duties or obligations to any Lender or participant except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Agent-Related Persons:
-156-
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that such Person is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that such Person
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel,
may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c) shall not be required to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in
relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the
Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to
carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.
No Agent-Related Person be liable (i) to any participant or Secured Party or their Affiliates
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, or such Person shall
believe in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail
message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements
of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any
instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent
to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each
Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or
to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or
approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection
thereto.
SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the
payment
-157-
of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a
Lender or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt
of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of
Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that
unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender
acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that
no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including
whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender
represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all
applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other
Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan
Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each
other Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and
without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any
Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such
Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07; provided further that any obligation to indemnify an
L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall be limited to the Lenders of the appropriate
Facility only. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any
Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings
-158-
or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to
the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the
Borrowers, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrowers’
continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and
the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.08. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the
Agents may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable
withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that an Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to
or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the
appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to
notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of
withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the
extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting or
expanding the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly,
by the Agent as taxes or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto,
together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses,
whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 9.09. Agents in Their Individual Capacities.
(a) Each Person serving as an 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 an Agent
and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account
of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without
notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities,
any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its
Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of
such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as
though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include each
Agent in its individual capacity.
(b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its
individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide
range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities
trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are
collectively referred to in this Section 9.09 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities
with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore,
the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or
undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the
Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of
others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Parent Borrower, another Loan Party or their
respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in
securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates.
-159-
Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s
Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates
(including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective
Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to
any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor
any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of
the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information
whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of
any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits
obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or
otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan
Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s
Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now
have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of
any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be
required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being
a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any
Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this
Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information
(including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information
concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary,
equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence)
owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any
such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers
(including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.
SECTION 9.10. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Parent
Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be
consented to by the Parent Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of
Default under Section 8.01(f) (which consent of the Parent Borrower shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders and the Parent Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor
agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental
administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment,
powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty
(30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders
shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing
or recording of such financing statements, or amendments
-160-
thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a)
continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents
or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents
(if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.10). After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 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 the Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by the Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from
all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and
(iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit issued by the Administrative Agent, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or
make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer effectively to assume the
obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
SECTION 9.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing
and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed
in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and
10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
-161-
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.
SECTION 9.12. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:
(a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under
any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured
Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and
payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the
expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit in which
the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized
or, if satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for which a backstop
letter of credit is in place), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is
transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Loan Party (it being
understood that in the event that property that constitutes Collateral is transferred to any
Loan Party, such property shall continue to constitute Collateral under the Loan Documents),
(iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or
ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is
owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below;
(b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that
is permitted by Section 7.01(i); and
(c) that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations
under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if
such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the New Senior Notes, or any Junior
Financing.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.12. In each case as specified in this Section 9.12, the
Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent
to), at the Parent Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such
documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of
such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral
Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in
each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.12.
SECTION 9.13. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. Except as expressly provided
herein, none of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of
this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “joint bookrunner” or “joint lead
arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none
of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely,
on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in
taking or not taking action hereunder.
-162-
SECTION 9.14. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no
violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations
or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized
that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in
particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any
of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any
other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent
is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative
agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional
individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative
Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or
intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or
conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and
vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to
enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with
respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every
covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or
performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by
either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions
of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall
inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such
Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.
(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting
in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Parent Borrower or
Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver
any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any
Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the
Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.15. Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent is authorized to
enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor
Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens
on the Receivables Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the
Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the
Receivables Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing
provisions are intended as an inducement to the ABL Secured Parties (as such term is defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) to extend credit to the borrowers under the ABL Credit Agreement and such
ABL Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement.
-163-
SECTION 9.16. Administrative Agent Dutch Claims; Dutch Secured Party Claims. With
respect to any security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties which is created under any Collateral Document governed by the laws of the
Netherlands:
(a) Each Dutch Loan Party must pay the Administrative Agent, as an independent and
separate creditor, an amount equal to each Dutch Secured Party Claim on its due date (the
“Administrative Agent Dutch Claim”).
(b) The Administrative Agent may enforce performance of any Administrative Agent Dutch
Claim in its own name as an independent and separate right. This includes any suit,
execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting
in respect of any kind of insolvency proceeding.
(c) Each Secured Party must, at the request of the Administrative Agent, perform any
act required in connection with the enforcement of any Administrative Agent Dutch Claim.
This includes joining in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Administrative Agent.
(d) Each Dutch Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have
to require a Secured Party to join in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Administrative
Agent in respect of any Administrative Agent Dutch Claim.
(e) (i) Discharge by a Dutch Loan Party of a Secured Party Claim will discharge the
corresponding Administrative Agent Dutch Claim in the same amount and (ii) discharge by a
Dutch Loan Party of an Administrative Agent Dutch Claim will discharge the corresponding
Secured Party Claim in the same amount.
(f) The aggregate amount of the Administrative Agent Dutch Claims will never exceed the
aggregate amount of the Secured Party Claims.
(g) (i) A defect affecting an Administrative Agent Dutch Claim against a Dutch Loan
Party will not affect any Secured Party Claim and (ii) a defect affecting a Secured Party
Claim against a Dutch Loan Party will not affect any Administrative Agent Dutch Claim.

Administrative Agent or any Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Loan
Party in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Parent Borrower effect
delivery in such manner.
SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or

this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following
receipt by the Parent Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in
reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts
payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan
Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Arrangers and
their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees or advisors

any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against

agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of

any property or facility currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability arising out of the activities or operations of
any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of
any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, member, employee, agent,
trustee or advisor of such Indemnitee or (y) a breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by
such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or advisor of such
Indemnitee as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this
Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable
law or public policy, the Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to
pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising
from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other
similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any
Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or
consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its
activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the
case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or
an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and
whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within 10
Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive
the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
the Borrowers is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of
setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share
-169-
of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of
such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect.
SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither
Holdings nor any Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of Sections 10.07(g) and 10.07(i) or (iv) to an SPC
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Parent Borrower (both prior to and after the consummation of the Merger)
shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more Persons (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of
this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing
to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it
being understood that the Parent Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent if the
Parent Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make a filing or registration with,
a Governmental Agency) of:
(A) the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an
Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to any Borrower, Section
8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee;
(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to another Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(C) solely in the case of any assignment under any Revolving Credit Facility under
which such Person is a Principal L/C Issuer, each Principal L/C Issuer at the time of such
assignment, provided that no consent of any Principal L/C Issuer shall be required for an
assignment to an Agent or any Affiliate thereof; and
(D) in the case of any assignment of any of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, the
Swing Line Lender; provided that no consent of the Swing Line Lender shall be required for
an assignment of all or any portion of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans to another Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender.
-170-
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or such
other date on which such Assignment and Assumption is effective) shall not be less than and
shall be an integral multiple of (x) a Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 (in the case of the
Revolving Credit Facilities) or (y) $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless each of
the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no
such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to any Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is
continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its
Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive
such processing and recordation fee in the case of any Assignment;
(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and
(D) the Assignee shall comply with Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d), as
applicable.
This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights
and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.
(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the
surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the relevant Borrower (at its expense) shall execute
and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) 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 Section 10.07(e).
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C
Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under
Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the
Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person
-171-
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 Parent Borrower, any Agent and, with respect to itself, any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line 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 Borrowers, the Agents 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 the other Loan Documents and
to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to
Section 10.07(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d), as
applicable), 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.10 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01,
3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless, in the case of Section 3.01, the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent (not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to
time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (an “SPC”) the
option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to
make such Loan pursuant to the terms
-172-
hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or
change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including their obligations under
Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), except, in the case of Section 3.01, the increase or change results
from a Change in Law after the SPC becomes a SPC and the grant was made with the Parent Borrower’s
prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for
any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be
liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any
amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of
record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but
without prior consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a
processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to
any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in
accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing
to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security
interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the
trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such
obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in
compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the
pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall
not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such
trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure
or otherwise.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign
as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the
expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or the
Swing Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, a successor L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to
accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no
failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the
relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an
L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect
to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer
and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make
Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the
Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line
Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information, and to not use or disclose such Information, except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective managers,
administrators, directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors, partners, advisors,
agents and other representatives,
-173-
including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (c) to any other party
to this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement; (d) subject to an agreement to be bound by
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably
acceptable to the Parent Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), Eligible
Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee or pledgee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any actual or prospective party (or
its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors
and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments
are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments
hereunder, any rating agency, or the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization; (e) with the
written consent of the Parent Borrower; (f) to the extent such Information becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party who is not known to such Person to be
in breach of any obligation of confidentiality; (g) to any Governmental Authority, examiner,
self-regulatory authority or other regulatory authority (including the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating or purporting to regulate any
Lender; or (h) in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
or the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of
this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service
providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in
connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information”
means all information received from or on behalf of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or any Loan
Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, relating to Holdings, the
Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan
Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of
information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01,
6.02 or 6.03 hereof. 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.
SECTION 10.09. Treatment of Information.
(a) Certain of the Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material
non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities (“Restricting
Information”). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting
Information. Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws
prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public
information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions,
from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its Affiliates shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available
to a Lender, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender or
otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise
-174-
warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting
Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates be responsible or liable in
any way for any decision a Lender may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting
Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates (i) shall
have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, hereby
disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender has or has not limited
its access to Restricting Information, such Lender’s policies or procedures regarding the
safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lender’s compliance with applicable laws
related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party or Lender or any of
their respective Affiliates arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender.
(b) Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to
Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it
will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information)
on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such
Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from
time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of
Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.
(c) Each Lender acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all
Lenders generally. Each Lender that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so
voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other
Lenders may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender.
None of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender with access to Restricting Information shall have
any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender or to use such
Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure
to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.
(d) The provisions of the foregoing clauses of this Section 10.09 are designed to assist the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective
contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lenders express a desire
not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lenders hereunder or thereunder
may contain Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates
warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve
such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates warrant or make any other
statement to the effect that an Loan Party’s or Lender’s adherence to such provisions will be
sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Lender with its contractual obligations or
its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Lenders and
each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith.
SECTION 10.10. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided
by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its
Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the
Borrowers (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing
to, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or
for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries
against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its
Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now
-175-
or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate
shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the
applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and
apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C
Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary
of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender
and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any
such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.10 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
SECTION 10.11. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents
shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the relevant Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the
total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 10.12. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or electronic
transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan
Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and
such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures
delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original
thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness
of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission.
SECTION 10.13. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and
thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event
of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control.
SECTION 10.14. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant
hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation (other than Secured Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations and other Obligations
that are not accrued and payable) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of
Credit (other than any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized or, if satisfactory to
the L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for which a backstop letter of credit is in place) shall
remain outstanding.
-176-
SECTION 10.15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not
be affected or impaired thereby and the intent of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
shall be followed as closely as legally possible. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.16. GOVERNING LAW.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN).
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY
OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF
THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS AND THE APPELLATE COURTS THEREOF. TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY
OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW
OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS IN
THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES (OTHER THAN TELEPHONE, FACSIMILE OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION) IN
SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY
PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
SECTION 10.17. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH
RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW
EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY
HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED

COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.17 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF
THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SECTION 10.18. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrowers, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified by each Lender, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer that each such
Lender,
-177-
Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, Holdings, each Agent and each Lender and their respective
successors and assigns.
SECTION 10.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency
into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other
currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of
the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the
“Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged
to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent
from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such
obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is
greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the
Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other
Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).
SECTION 10.20. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute
any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party
under any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge Agreements or agreements governing Cash
Management Obligations (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any
banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or
proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any
other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent. The provision of this Section 10.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not
afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
SECTION 10.21. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby
notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information
includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party
in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements
of the USA PATRIOT Act and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.22. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each of Holdings and each Borrower acknowledges
and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the Facilities provided for
hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document)
are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and each Borrower is
capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions
of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to
such transaction, each of the Agents, the Arrangers and the
-178-
Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent
or fiduciary, for the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or
any other Person; (iii) none of the Agents, the Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume
an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to any of
the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any
amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of
whether any Agent or Lender has advised or is currently advising any Borrower or any of their
Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Agents, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any
obligation to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents; (iv) the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict
with, those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the Agents, the Arrangers or the
Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or
fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and
will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document) and Holdings and the Borrowers have consulted their own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. Each of
Holdings and each Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
claims that it may have against the Agents, Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or
alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
SECTION 10.23. No Personal Liability. No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of any Borrower, Holdings or any Loan Party
or any of their direct or indirect parent companies (other than the Borrowers, Holdings and any
other Loan Party) shall have any liability for any obligations of the Borrowers or the Loan Parties
under the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Guaranty, the Facilities, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. Each Lender hereby waives and releases all such liability.
SECTION 10.24. Limitations on Foreign Loan Parties.
(a) Any obligation, guarantee or undertaking granted or assumed by any Loan Party incorporated
in England and Wales pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 10.05) and
other Loan Documents shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred by such Loan Party to the
extent the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 151 of
the Companies Xxx 0000 of England and Wales and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be construed accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, this limitation does not
apply to any obligation of such Loan Party as principal debtor under the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility.
(b) Any obligation, guarantee or undertaking granted or assumed by any Loan Party incorporated
in the Netherlands pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 10.05) and
other Loan Documents shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred by such Loan Party to the
extent the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Article 207(c)
or 98(c) of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be construed accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, this limitation does not
apply to any obligation of such Loan Party as principal debtor under the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility.
SECTION 10.25. FCC.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents,
neither the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor any of their agents, will
-179-
take any action
pursuant to the Collateral Documents that would constitute or result in any assignment of the FCC
Authorizations or any transfer of control thereof, within the meaning of 310(d) of the
Communications Act of 1934 or other Communications Law, if such assignment of license or transfer
of control thereof would require thereunder the prior approval of the FCC, without first obtaining
such approval of the FCC.
SECTION 10.26. Effectiveness of Merger. None of Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the
Subsidiary Co-Borrowers or the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers shall have any rights or
obligations hereunder until the consummation of the Merger and any representations and warranties
of the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers or the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers
under the Loan Documents shall not become effective, and no Event of Default may occur, until such
time. Upon consummation of the Merger, and without any further action by any Person, each of
Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers or the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving
Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) assumes and agrees punctually to pay, perform
and discharge when due each of the Obligations and each and every debt, covenant and agreement
incurred, made or to be paid, performed or discharged by it under the Loan Documents, (ii) agrees
to be bound by all the terms, provisions and conditions of the Loan Documents applicable to it and
(iii) agrees that it will be responsible for and deemed to have made all of its representations and
warranties set forth in the Loan Documents, whenever made or deemed to have been made.

Schedule 1.01C
Mandatory Cost Formula
1. |
|
The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate [Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit] Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the
Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other
authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European
Central Bank. |
|
2. |
|
On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the
Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost
Rate”) for each [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender, in accordance with the
paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent
as a weighted average of the [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lenders’ Additional Cost
Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each [Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit] Lender in the relevant [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Loan) and
will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. |
|
3. |
|
The Additional Cost Rate for any [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender
lending from a Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified
by that [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender to the Administrative Agent. This
percentage will be certified by that [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender in its
notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed
as a percentage of that [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender’s participation in all
[Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Loans made from that Lending Office) of complying with
the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from
that Lending Office. |
|
4. |
|
The Additional Cost Rate for any [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender
lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative
Agent as follows: |
|
(a) |
|
in relation to a sterling [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Loan: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AB + C(B-D) + E × 0.01 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
100-(A+C)
|
|
per cent. per annum |
|
(b) |
|
in relation to a [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Loan in any currency
other than sterling: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E × 0.01
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
300 |
|
|
per cent. per annum. |
Where:
|
A |
|
is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any
stated minimum) which that [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender is from time
to time |
|
|
|
required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of
England to comply with cash ratio requirements. |
|
|
B |
|
is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable and the Mandatory
Cost and, if the [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the
Default Rate payable for the relevant Interest Period on the [Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit] Loan. |
|
|
C |
|
is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that [Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit] Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest
bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England. |
|
|
D |
|
is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the
Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. |
|
|
E |
|
is designed to compensate [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lenders for
amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as
being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per
£1,000,000. |
5. |
|
For the purposes of this Schedule: |
|
(a) |
|
“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them
from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be
appropriate) by the Bank of England; |
|
|
(b) |
|
“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision
Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect
of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; |
|
|
(c) |
|
“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the
activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee
required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount
rate); and |
|
|
(d) |
|
“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Communities
that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with
legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union. |
|
|
(e) |
|
“Party” means a party to this Agreement. |
|
|
(f) |
|
“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in
accordance with, the Fees Rules. |
|
|
(g) |
|
“Unpaid Sum” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by a Loan Party under the
Loan Documents. |
6. |
|
In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae
as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A
negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting
figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. |
7. |
|
If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as
practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the
Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial
Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the
Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the
average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and
expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. |
8. |
|
Each [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender shall supply any information
required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate.
In particular, but without limitation, each [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender
shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a
[Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender: |
|
(a) |
|
the jurisdiction of its Lending Office; and |
|
(b) |
|
any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for
such purpose. |
Each [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9. |
|
The percentages of each [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender for the purpose
of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above
shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it
pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a [Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit] Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each
[Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio
deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of
incorporation with a Lending Office in the same jurisdiction as its Lending Office. |
10. |
|
The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination
results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any [Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit] Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any
[Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7
and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. |
11. |
|
The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result
of the Mandatory Cost to the [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lenders on the basis of
the Additional Cost Rate for each [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender based on the
information provided by each [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lender and each Reference
Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. |
12. |
|
Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation
to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a
[Alternative Currency |
|
|
Revolving Credit] Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on all Parties. |
13. |
|
The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent
and the [Alternative Currency Revolving Credit] Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties
any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any
change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the
Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other
authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. |

in order to induce the Lenders to extend such credit. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

Agreement.

“Secured Parties” means, collectively, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Hedge Banks,
the Cash Management Banks, the Supplemental Administrative Agent and each co-agent or sub-agent
appointed by the Administrative Agent from time to time pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Credit
Agreement.
ARTICLE II
Guarantee
SECTION 2.01 Guarantee. Holdings unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations, in each case,
whether such Obligations are now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of any Loan
Document whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or
otherwise in accordance herewith or with any other Loan Documents. Holdings 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 notwithstanding any extension or
renewal of any Obligation. Holdings waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to
any 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. Holdings further agrees that its guarantee
hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right
to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured 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 Secured Party in favor of any Borrower
or any other Person.
SECTION 2.03 No Limitations.
(a) Except for termination of Holdings’ obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section
4.13, the obligations of Holdings 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 or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
Holdings hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured 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; (iii) the release of any security held by the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful
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 Holdings or otherwise operate as a discharge
of Holdings as a matter of Law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations). Holdings expressly authorizes the Secured Parties
-2-
to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or
release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security
and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or
substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all
without affecting the obligations of Holdings hereunder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Holdings waives any defense based on or
arising out of any defense of any 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
any Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may in accordance with the
terms of the Collateral Documents, 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them
against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of Holdings 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, Holdings
waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to
applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right
or remedy of Holdings against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any
security.
SECTION 2.04 Reinstatement. Holdings 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 Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any 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 Secured Party has at
Law or in equity against Holdings by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or 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, Holdings hereby promises to and will
forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured
Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by Holdings of any sums to the
Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of Holdings against such Borrower or 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. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Borrowers’ 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 Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and
-3-
agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty
to advise Holdings 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 Holdings may have under applicable Law (but subject to Section 3.02), each Borrower
agrees that in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by Holdings under this Agreement,
such Borrower shall indemnify Holdings for the full amount of such payment and Holdings shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of
such payment.
SECTION 3.02 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of Holdings under Section 3.01 and all other rights 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; provided that if any amount shall be paid to Holdings
on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the payment in full of the Obligations,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be
paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in connection with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement. No failure on the
part of any Borrower to make the payments required by Section 3.01 (or any other payments required
under applicable Law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of
Holdings with respect to its obligations hereunder, and Holdings shall remain liable for the full
amount of the obligations hereunder.
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 in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.02 Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management Bank,
any Hedge Bank or any Lender 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 Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Cash Management Banks, the
Hedge Banks and the Lenders 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
-4-
(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, issuance of a Letter of Credit, provision of Cash Management
Services or entering into Secured Hedge Agreements shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank, any
Hedge Bank or any L/C Issuer 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 10.01 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 reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in
connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable within 10 days
of 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 Holdings or
the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns , to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement.
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 Secured Parties and shall survive
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, issuance of any
Letters of Credit, provision of any Cash Management Services and entering into of Secured Hedge
Agreements, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management Bank, any Hedge Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
-5-
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 one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic
transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature
delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission. 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 Secured Parties and their
respective permitted 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 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. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 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. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Parent Borrower
and each other Loan Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the
credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all obligations owing to such
Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or
Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such
-6-
obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit
or Indebtedness; provided that, in the case of any such deposits or other Indebtedness for the
credit or the account of any Foreign Subsidiary, such set off may only be against any obligations
of Foreign Subsidiaries. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.
SECTION 4.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing
law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(b) 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 will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 4.10 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 4.11 Guaranty Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, all rights of
the Administrative Agent hereunder and all obligations of Holdings 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, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other
collateral, or 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, Holdings in respect of the
Obligations or this Agreement (other than the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations).
SECTION 4.12 Intercreditor Agreement Governs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Agreement, and all the rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and
the Secured Parties hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between a provision of the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement that relates solely to the rights or obligations of, or relationships between, the ABL
Secured Parties and the Cash Flow Secured Parties (as each such
term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement
shall control.
-7-
SECTION 4.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate with respect to all
Obligations when all the outstanding Obligations have been Paid in Full.
(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Holdings, at Holdings’ expense, all documents
that Holdings shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, in each case in
accordance with the terms of Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement. Any execution and delivery of
documents pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Administrative Agent.
(c) At any time that the Parent Borrower desires that the Administrative Agent take any of the
actions described in immediately preceding paragraph (b), it shall, upon request of the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that
the release of Holdings is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a). The Administrative Agent shall
have no liability whatsoever to Holdings as a result of any release of Holdings by it as permitted
(or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 4.13.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management
Bank and each Hedge Bank, by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledge
and agree that (i) the obligations of any Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge
Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to this Agreement only
to the extent that, and for so long, the other Obligations are so guaranteed and (ii) any release
of Holdings effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any
Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.
SECTION 4.14 Continuing Guarantee. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee of
payment, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
SECTION 4.15 Consent to Certain Provisions. Holdings has read and agreed to Section
10.22 of the Credit Agreement as if a signatory thereto.

Section 4.13, the obligations of the Company 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 or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan
-2-
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; (iii) the
release of any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the
Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful 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 the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as a matter of Law or
equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). The Company expressly
authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the
Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without
consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale
thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or
obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of the
Company hereunder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company waives any defense based on
or arising out of any defense of any 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all
the Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may in accordance with the
terms of the Collateral Documents, 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them
against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully paid in
full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company waives any defense
arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to
impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the
Company against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.
SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. The Company 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 Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any 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 Secured Party has at
Law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any 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, the Company hereby promises to and will
forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured
Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by the Company of any sums to
the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of the Company against such Borrower or
other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of
-3-
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be
subject to Article III.
SECTION 2.06. Information. The Company assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers’ 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 the Company assumes and
incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties
will have any duty to advise the Company 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 Company may have under applicable Law (but subject to Section 3.02), each
Borrower agrees that in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by the Company under
this Agreement, such Borrower shall indemnify the Company for the full amount of such payment and
the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been
made to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 3.02. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Company under Section 3.01 and all other rights 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; provided that if any amount shall be paid
to the Company on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the payment in full of
the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and
shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in connection with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.
No failure on the part of any Borrower to make the payments required by Section 3.01 (or any other
payments required under applicable Law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of the Company with respect to its obligations hereunder, and the Company shall remain
liable for the full amount of the obligations hereunder.
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 in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.02. Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management Bank,
any Hedge Bank or any Lender 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
-4-
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 L/C Issuers, the Cash
Management Banks, the Hedge Banks and the Lenders 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,
issuance of a Letter of Credit, provision of Cash Management Services or entering into Secured
Hedge Agreements shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank, any Hedge Bank or any L/C Issuer 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 10.01 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 reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in
connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable within 10 days
of 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 the Company or
the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement.
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
-5-
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making
of any Loans, issuance of any Letters of Credit, provision of any Cash Management Services and
entering into of Secured Hedge Agreements, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on
its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management
Bank, any Hedge 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 one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic
transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature
delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission. 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 Secured Parties and their
respective permitted 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 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. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 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. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
the Company or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Company and each other
Loan Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off
-6-
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or
for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all obligations owing
to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the
applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that, in the case of any such deposits or other
Indebtedness for the credit or the account of any Foreign Subsidiary, such set off may only be
against any obligations of Foreign Subsidiaries. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company
and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
The rights of each Lender under this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.
SECTION 4.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing
law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(b) 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 will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 4.10. 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 4.11. Guaranty Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, all rights
of the Administrative Agent hereunder and all obligations of the Company 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, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Lien on other collateral, or 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, the Company in respect of the
Obligations or this Agreement (other than the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations).
SECTION 4.12. Intercreditor Agreement Governs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Agreement, and all the rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and
the Secured Parties hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between a provision of the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement that relates solely to the rights or obligations of, or
-7-
relationships between, the ABL Secured Parties and the Cash Flow Secured Parties (as each such
term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement
shall control.
SECTION 4.13. Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate with respect to all
Obligations when all the outstanding Obligations have been Paid in Full.
(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, all
documents that the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, in
each case in accordance with the terms of Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement. Any execution and
delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Administrative Agent.
(c) At any time that the Company desires that the Administrative Agent take any of the actions
described in immediately preceding paragraph (b), it shall, upon request of the Administrative
Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of
the Company is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a). The Administrative Agent shall have no
liability whatsoever to the Company as a result of any release of the Company by it as permitted
(or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 4.13.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management
Bank and each Hedge Bank, by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledge
and agree that (i) the obligations of any Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge
Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to this Agreement only
to the extent that, and for so long, the other Obligations are so guaranteed and (ii) any release
of the Company effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of
any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.
SECTION 4.14. Continuing Guarantee. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee of
payment, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
SECTION 4.15. Consent to Certain Provisions. The Company has read and agreed to
Section 10.22 of the Credit Agreement as if a signatory thereto. The Company will comply with all
covenants in the Loan Documents applicable to it as a Restricted Subsidiary or Loan Party even if
it is not a signatory to the applicable Loan Document.

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 and performance of the Obligations, in each case, whether such Obligations are now
existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of any Loan Document whether at stated maturity
or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or
with any other Loan Documents. Each of the Guarantors 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 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any 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. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its
guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives
any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured 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 Secured Party in favor of any
Borrower or any other Person.
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 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 Secured Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the
-2-
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 Secured Party for the
Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful 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 payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor
expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance
of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without
consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale
thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or
obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of any 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all
the Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may in accordance with the
terms of the Collateral Documents, 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them
against any 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 operates,
pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any 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 Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any
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 Secured Party has at
Law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or 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 Secured
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 such Borrower or
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 assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ 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
agrees that none of
-3-
the Administrative Agent or the other Secured 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), each
Borrower agrees that in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under
this Agreement, such Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment
and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have
been made to the extent 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 Borrowers as provided in Section 3.01, the Contributing Party
shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, in each case
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on
the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing
Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming 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 Guarantee Agreement
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 be subrogated to the rights of such
Claiming Party to the extent of such payment. Each Guarantor recognizes and acknowledges that the
rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled
to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, its contribution right against any other Guarantor to the
extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the
determination of the Lenders.
SECTION 3.03 Subordination. 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
indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable Law or otherwise shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations; provided that if any
amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to
the payment in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied
against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in connection with Section 8.03 of the
Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of any 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.
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 in Section 10.02 of the
Credit
-4-
Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in
care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.02 Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management Bank,
any Hedge Bank or any Lender 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 Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Cash Management Banks, the
Hedge Banks and the Lenders 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, issuance of a
Letter of Credit, provision of Cash Management Services or entering into Secured Hedge Agreements
shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent,
any Lender, any Cash Management Bank, any Hedge Bank or any L/C Issuer 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 10.01 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 reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in
connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable within 10 days
of 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, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of
the Credit Agreement.
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
-5-
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 Secured Parties and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, issuance of any Letters
of Credit, provision of any Cash Management Services and entering into of Secured Hedge Agreements,
regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management Bank, any Hedge 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 one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic
transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature
delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission. 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 Secured Parties and their
respective permitted 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 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. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 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. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Parent Borrower
and each other Loan Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the
credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all obligations owing to such
Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may
be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable
deposit or Indebtedness; provided that, in the case of any such
-6-
deposits or other Indebtedness for the credit or the account of any Foreign Subsidiary, such set
off may only be against any obligations of Foreign Subsidiaries. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made
by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 4.08 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.
SECTION 4.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service
of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing
law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(b) 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 will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 4.10 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 4.11 Guaranty Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, 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, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Lien on other collateral, or 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 (other than the payment in full in cash of all of the
Obligations).
SECTION 4.12 Intercreditor Agreement Governs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Agreement, and all the rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and
the Secured Parties hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between a provision of the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement that relates solely to the rights or obligations of, or relationships between, the ABL
Secured Parties and the Cash Flow Secured Parties (as each such term is defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement), the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
SECTION 4.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate with respect to all
Obligations when all the outstanding Obligations have been Paid in Full.
(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 of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (other
than an
-7-
Immaterial 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.
(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all
documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, in
each case in accordance with the terms of Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement. Any execution and
delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Administrative Agent.
(d) At any time that the Parent Borrower desires that the Administrative Agent take any of the
actions described in immediately preceding paragraph (c), it shall, upon request of the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that
the release of the respective Guarantor is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b). The
Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Guarantor as a result of any release
of any Guarantor by it as permitted (or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be
permitted) by this Section 4.13.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management
Bank and each Hedge Bank, by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledge
and agree that (i) the obligations of any Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge
Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to this Agreement only
to the extent that, and for so long, the other Obligations are so guaranteed and (ii) any release
of a Guarantor effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of
any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.
SECTION 4.14 Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement,
certain Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties that are not Excluded Subsidiaries are required
to enter in this Agreement as Guarantors upon becoming Restricted Subsidiaries that are not
Excluded Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Restricted
Subsidiary of a Guarantee Agreement Supplement, such Restricted 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.
SECTION 4.15 [Reserved.]
SECTION 4.16 Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor and each Secured
Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby confirms that it is its
intention that this Agreement not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of
any Debtor Relief Laws (including the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any
similar Federal or state law). To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each
Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby irrevocably agrees that
the Obligations owing by such Guarantor under this Agreement shall be limited to such amount as
will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise)
liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such Debtor Relief Laws and after giving
effect to any rights to contribution and/or subrogation pursuant to any agreement providing for an
equitable contribution and/or subrogation among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in
the Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.
SECTION 4.17 Continuing Guarantee. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee of
payment, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
-8-
SECTION 4.18 Consent to Certain Provisions. Each Guarantor has read and agreed to
Section 10.22 of the Credit Agreement as if a signatory thereto. Each Guarantor will comply with
all covenants in the Loan Documents applicable to it as a Restricted Subsidiary or Loan Party even
if it is not a signatory to the applicable Loan Document.
-9-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and
year first above written.

C. The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce (x) the
Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit, (y) the Hedge Banks to enter
into and/or maintain Secured Hedge Agreements and (z) the Cash Management Banks to provide Cash
Management Services. Section 4.14 of the Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may become Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Restricted
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 (x)
the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit, (y)
the Hedge Banks to enter into and/or maintain Secured Hedge Agreements and (z) the Cash Management
Banks to provide Cash Management Services and as consideration for (x) Loans previously made and
Letters of Credit previously issued, (y) Secured Hedge Agreements previously entered into and/or
maintained and (z) Cash Management Services previously provided.
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. In furtherance of the foregoing, the
New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations does hereby,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guaranty, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the due and punctual
payment and performance of the Obligations. 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 Secured Parties that this Supplement has been 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
Exh. I-1
Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as 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.
Exh. I-2

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 and performance of the Obligations, in each case, whether such Obligations are now existing
or hereafter incurred under, arising out of any Loan Document whether at stated maturity or
earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or
with any other Loan Documents. Each of the Guarantors 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 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower or
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. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its
guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives
any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured 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 Secured Party in favor of any Borrower
or any other Person.
2
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 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 Secured 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 Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful 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). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the
Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the
Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without
consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any
sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other
guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any 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 any 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 Secured Parties may in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents, 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to
them against any 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 operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower
or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.
3
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 Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any
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 Secured Party has at
Law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any 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
Secured 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 such
Borrower or 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 assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ 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
agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to
advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or
risks.
SECTION 2.07. Guarantee Limitation in respect of Guarantors incorporated in England and
Wales. The guarantee given by any Guarantor incorporated in England and Wales does not apply
to any liability to the extent that it would result in the guarantee of such Guarantor constituting
unlawful financial assistance by that Guarantor within the meaning of Section 151 of the Companies
Xxx 0000 of England and Wales.
SECTION 2.08. Guarantee Limitation in respect of Guarantors incorporated in the
Netherlands. The guarantee given by any Guarantor incorporated in the Netherlands does not
apply to any liability or obligation to the extent that it would result in the guarantee of such
Guarantor constituting unlawful financial assistance by that Guarantor within the meaning of
article 207(c) or 98(c) of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
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), each
Borrower agrees that in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under
this Agreement, such Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the
4
full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person
to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent 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 Borrowers as provided in Section 3.01, the Contributing Party
shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, in each case
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on
the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing
Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming 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 Guarantee Agreement
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 be subrogated to the rights of such
Claiming Party to the extent of such payment. Each Guarantor recognizes and acknowledges that the
rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled
to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, its contribution right against any other Guarantor to the
extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the
determination of the Lenders.
SECTION 3.03. Subordination. 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
indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable Law or otherwise shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations; provided that if any
amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to
the payment in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied
against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in connection with Section 8.03 of the
Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of any 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.
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 in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it
in care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
5
SECTION 4.02. Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash
Management Bank, any Hedge Bank or any Lender 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 Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuers, the Cash Management Banks, the Hedge Banks and the Lenders 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, issuance of
a Letter of Credit, provision of Cash Management Services or entering into Secured Hedge
Agreements shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank, any Hedge Bank or any L/C Issuer
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 10.01
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 reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for
its actions in connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit
Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations
secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under
this Section 4.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
6
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, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of
the Credit Agreement.
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 Secured Parties and shall survive
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, issuance of any
Letters of Credit, provision of any Cash Management Services and entering into of Secured Hedge
Agreements, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management Bank, any Hedge 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 one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic
transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature
delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission. 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 Secured Parties and their
respective permitted 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 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. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a
7
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable 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. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Parent Borrower
and each other Loan Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the
credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all obligations owing to such
Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may
be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable
deposit or Indebtedness; provided that, in the case of any such deposits or other Indebtedness for
the credit or the account of any Foreign Subsidiary, such set off may only be against any
obligations of Foreign Subsidiaries. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.
SECTION 4.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service
of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to
governing law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated
herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(b) 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 will affect the
right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 4.10. 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 4.11. Guaranty Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, 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
8
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, (c) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or 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 4.12. [Reserved].
SECTION 4.13. Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate with respect to all
Obligations when all the outstanding Obligations have been Paid in Full.
(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 of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary
(other than an Immaterial 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.
(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s
expense, all documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 9.12 of the
Credit Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.13
shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
(d) At any time that the Parent Borrower desires that the Administrative Agent take any
of the actions described in immediately preceding paragraph (c), it shall, upon request of
the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate
certifying that the release of the respective Guarantor is permitted pursuant to paragraph
(a) or (b). The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Guarantor as
a result of any release of any Guarantor by it as permitted (or which the Administrative
Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 4.13.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash
Management Bank and each Hedge Bank, by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement
hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the obligations of any Borrower or any Subsidiary
under any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be guaranteed
pursuant to this Agreement only to the
extent that, and for so long, the other Obligations are so guaranteed and (ii) any
release of
9
a Guarantor effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require
the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.
SECTION 4.14. Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit
Agreement, certain Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties that are not Excluded Subsidiaries
are required to enter in this Agreement as Guarantors upon becoming Restricted Subsidiaries that
are not Excluded Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a
Restricted Subsidiary of a Guarantee Agreement Supplement, such Restricted 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.
SECTION 4.15. [Reserved.]
SECTION 4.16. Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor and each Secured
Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby confirms that it is its
intention that this Agreement not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of
any Debtor Relief Laws (including the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any
similar Federal or state law).
SECTION 4.17. Continuing Guarantee. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee of
payment, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
SECTION 4.18. Consent to Certain Provisions. Each Guarantor has read and agreed to
Section 10.22 of the Credit Agreement as if a signatory thereto. Each Guarantor will comply with
all covenants in the Loan Documents applicable to it as a Restricted Subsidiary or Loan Party even
if it is not a signatory to the applicable Loan Document.

Agent (the “Guarantee Agreement”).
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of [ ], 2008 (as amended,

CROWN MERGER CO., INC., to be merged with and into Clear Channel Communications, Inc., as Parent

Management Services. Section 4.14 of the Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may become Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Restricted
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 (x)
the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit, (y)
the Hedge Banks to enter into and/or maintain Secured Hedge Agreements and (z) the Cash Management
Banks to provide Cash Management Services and as consideration for (x) Loans previously made and
Letters of Credit previously issued, (y) Secured Hedge Agreements previously entered into and/or
maintained and (z) Cash Management Services previously provided.
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. In furtherance of the foregoing, the
New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations does hereby,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guaranty, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the due and punctual
payment and performance of the Obligations. 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 Secured Parties that this Supplement has been 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 transmission shall be as 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. The guarantee given by any New Subsidiary incorporated in England and Wales does
not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the guarantee of such New
Subsidiary constituting unlawful financial assistance by that New Subsidiary within the meaning of
Section 151 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of England and Wales.
SECTION 6. The guarantee given by any New Subsidiary incorporated in the Netherlands does not
apply to any liability or obligation to the extent that it would result in the guarantee of such
New Subsidiary constituting unlawful financial assistance by that New Subsidiary within the meaning
of article 207(c) or 98(c) of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
SECTION 7. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 8. 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 9. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 4.01 of the Guarantee Agreement.
SECTION 10. 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.

3
cured by a Lien on any assets that would otherwise constitute Collateral as a result

required to be made in the USPTO and the USCO in order to perfect the Security Interest in
Article 0 Xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights)

respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by
filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing,

Administrative Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261,
15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, as may
be necessary to establish a valid and perfected security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9
Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights to the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or

the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,

all the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing,
recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States
(or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction and (iii) subject to the filings
described in Section 3.02(c), a perfected security interest in all registrations and

preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Parent Borrower, on
behalf of the Grantors, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower setting forth the information required pursuant to
Schedules 1(a), 1(c) and 2 of the Perfection Certificate that has changed or confirming that there
has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most
recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).
11
(d) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute,
acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take
all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better
assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created
hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing
statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or
in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $15,000,000 shall be or
become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or debt security, such note, instrument
or debt security shall be promptly (and in any event within 30 days thereof) pledged and delivered
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the
Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may
pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor
fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and within a
reasonable period of time (unless the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that such
actions or payments are necessary to protect the Security Interest, to avoid any loss or forfeiture
or material impairment of any material Collateral or the use thereof, or to preserve and maintain
any material Collateral in good condition) after the Administrative Agent has requested that it do
so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent within 10
Business Days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, the Grantors shall
not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with respect to any Intellectual Property
that any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be
put into the public domain, in accordance with Section 3.03(g)(iv). Nothing in this paragraph
shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises
of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or
other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account
Debtor or any other Person the value of which is in excess of $15,000,000 to secure payment and
performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of
public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against
creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security
interest.
12
(g) Intellectual Property Covenants.
(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement or with
respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, and except to the
extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable
business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect
to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which
such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all
reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other
governmental authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and
maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or
hereafter included in such Intellectual Property of such Grantor.
(ii) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement, or
with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, or except as would
not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property may lapse, be
terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the
case of a trade secret, become publicly known).
(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement,
or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in
the applicable Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as
deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to
preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property, including, without limitation,
maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection
with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of
the date hereof, and taking all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed
users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to
standards of quality.
(iv) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents any Grantor from
disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise
allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual
Property to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its
reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its
business.
(v) Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter each Grantor shall provide a
list of any additional registrations of Intellectual Property of such Grantor not
previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent including such information as is necessary
for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO.
13
(h) Commercial Tort Claims. If the Grantors shall at any time hold or acquire a
Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated by such Grantor to exceed
$15,000,000 for which this clause has not been satisfied and for which a complaint in a
court of competent jurisdiction has been filed, such Grantor shall within 45 days after the
end of the fiscal quarter in which such complaint was filed notify the Administrative Agent
thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim
and grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such
writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise
any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including
the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and also may (i) require
each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the
Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the
Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be
designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy
any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the
Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to
effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in
respect of such occupation; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable
Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) require each Grantor to, and each
Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon the request of the Administrative Agent
promptly, assign the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in each of the Patents,
Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties; (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in
connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the
Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such
exercise; and (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice
requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall
deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall not have
the right under this Agreement to assume operational control of any FCC Authorization and facility
or station operated pursuant to such FCC Authorization except in compliance with the Communications
Laws. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it
advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent
and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with
a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the
Administrative Agent shall have the
14
right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so
sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free
from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent
permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at
any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which
each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of
Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such
sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the
board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion
thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be
held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the
Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the
Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent
until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent
shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again
upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant
to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law)
from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any
part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due
and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such
Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written
agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor
shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto,
notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.
As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative
Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell
the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or
15
courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed
receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to
the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent
in other jurisdictions.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all
officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and
lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that
the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to, to the
extent reasonably practicable, or otherwise promptly after, exercising such rights), for the
purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under
policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other
item of payment for the proceeds of such policies if insurance, (ii) making all determinations and
decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance
required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall
be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash in
accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any
such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral
by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such
purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way
for the misapplication thereof.
In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Administrative
Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal
and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Administrative
Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such
information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error).
SECTION 4.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For
the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise
16
rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) for cash,
upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate to use,
license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software
and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the
foregoing rights of the Administrative Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights,
and (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and
sublicenses granted thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events
of Default and shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent solely during the continuance of an
Event of Default and upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, and
nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any
rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under
or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document
evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement,
with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the
relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to
Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and
services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks.
For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised,
at the option of the Administrative Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default.
Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an absolute power of attorney
to sign, subject only to the giving of 10 Business Days’ notice to the Grantor, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO
or the USCO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each
registration and application for a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to record the same.
ARTICLE V
Subordination
SECTION 5.01 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Grantors to indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law
or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.
No failure on the part of the Parent Borrower or any Grantor to make the payments required under
applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the
full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
17
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in
care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.02 Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer,
any Cash Management Bank or any Lender 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 Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the
Cash Management Banks and the Lenders 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 Grantor therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, 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, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank or any L/C
Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any
Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor 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
Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply,
subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in
connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
18
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations
secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 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 Secured 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be
payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04 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 Grantor or
the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Grantors hereunder and in the other 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 Secured Parties and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of
any Letters of Credit and the provision of Cash Management Services, regardless of any
investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management 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 (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and
payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification
obligations not yet accrued and payable) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is
outstanding (other than Letters of Credit in which the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations
related thereto have been Cash Collateralized or, if satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its
sole discretion, for which a backstop letter of credit is in place) or so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor 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 Grantor and the
19
Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to
the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign
or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (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 Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any
other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 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 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
any Grantor, any such notice being waived by each Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender
and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Grantors against any and
all obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement
and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different
from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such
Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 6.08 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.
SECTION 6.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service
of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing
law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
20
(b) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 6.10 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 6.11 Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by Law, all rights
of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each Grantor
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 Secured 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 Secured 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, (c) any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of
the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this
Agreement.
SECTION
6.12 Reserved.
SECTION
6.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby
shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be
automatically released upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable,
(y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification
obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit
(other than Letters of Credit in which the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related
thereto have been Cash Collateralized or, if satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its sole
discretion, for which a backstop letter of credit is in place).
(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the
Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon
the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded
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.
21
(c) Upon any sale or transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the
Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness
of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral
pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall
be automatically released.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of
this Section 6.13, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such
Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by such Grantor to
effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and instruments. Any execution
and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by
the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6.14 Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement,
certain additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may be required to enter in this
Agreement as Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Restricted
Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution
and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.15 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time
after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
and notice by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s
intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative
Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and
all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the
Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and
give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor

thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d)
to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.
SECTION 6.17 Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment

“Security Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2008, among the Grantors identified therein and
Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent.
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of May [ ], 2008 (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among BT TRIPLE
CROWN MERGER CO., INC., to be merged with and into Clear Channel Communications, Inc.(the “Parent

agents named therein.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
make Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit and the Cash Management Banks to provide
Cash Management Services. Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement provides that additional
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned (the “New
Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement
to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional
Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and the Cash Management Banks to
provide additional Cash Management Services and as consideration for Loans previously made, Letters
of Credit previously issued and Cash Management Services previously provided.
Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its
signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if
originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and
provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents
and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true
and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as
security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and
grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New
Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement)
of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to
include the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general
principles of equity.
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 Grantor and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic
communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the location of any and all Collateral of the New
Grantor, the information required by Schedules II and III to the Security Agreement applicable to
it and the list of (i) all Intellectual Property held by the New Grantor and (ii) all instruments
and debt securities held by the New Grantor and required to be delivered pursuant to the Security
Agreement and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the
New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. 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 Security 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.
2
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplement, including
the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

governed by the UCC; and
(h) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged
Collateral as set forth herein.

and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will comply with instructions of the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Equity Interests in such Grantor that constitute Pledged

applicable law, if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such Pledged
Collateral, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the
issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete
the pledge and give the Administrative Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Collateral under
the terms hereof.

Administrative Agent shall have provided notice to the Parent Borrower that the rights of the
Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended (with any such notice of suspension to be
given and to be effective only consistent with Section 2.07 hereof and to be effective only to the
extent permitted by Section 2.07 hereof):
(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Equity or any part thereof and
each Grantor agrees that it shall exercise such rights for purposes consistent with the
terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(ii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice) execute
and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all
such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual
rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.
(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the
Pledged Equity to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest,
principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in
accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and applicable Laws; provided that any
10
noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute
Pledged Equity, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of
the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Equity or received in
exchange for Pledged Equity or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result
of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer
may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if
received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other
funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be promptly
(and in any event within 10 Business Days) delivered to the Administrative Agent in the
same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent). So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor any Pledged
Equity in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection
with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Equity permitted by the Credit Agreement in
accordance with this Section 2.06(a)(iii).
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Administrative Agent shall have notified the applicable Grantor of the suspension of its rights
under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of such Grantor to dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to
paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become
vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of
this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be
segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly (and in any event
within 5 Business Days) delivered to the Administrative Agent upon demand in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Any
and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to
be established by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall
be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have
been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without
interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would
otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06
and that remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Administrative Agent shall have provided the applicable Grantor with 10 days’ notice of the
suspension of its rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, then, subject to Section 2.07
hereof, all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the
Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of
11
this Section 2.06, shall cease, and, subject to Section 2.07 hereof, all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right
and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless
otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time
to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to
exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall
have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such
Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above,
and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall
be reinstated.
(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Grantors suspending the rights of the
Grantors under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing and shall conform
to and be subject to the requirements of Section 2.07 hereof, (ii) may be given with respect to one
or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the
Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in part without
suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights to give
additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 2.07 FCC Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that (a) if the suspension of a Grantor’s
rights in respect of the Pledged Equity and the vesting of such rights in the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.06 requires the approval of the FCC, such rights will not be suspended and
will remain vested in such Grantor upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and
until such approval has been obtained; (b) if any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent
in respect of the Pledged Equity pursuant to Section 4.01 requires the approval of the FCC, the
Administrative Agent shall not exercise such remedies unless and until such approval has been
obtained and voting rights in the Pledged Collateral shall remain with the Grantor even if an Event
of Default has occurred unless any such required prior FCC approval shall have been obtained; (c)
if the Administrative Agent exercises any remedies of foreclosure in respect to the Pledged
Collateral following the occurrence of an Event of Default, there will be either a private or
public arm’s-length sale of the Pledged Collateral; and (d) prior to the exercise of any rights of
the purchaser at such sale of such Pledged Collateral, the prior consent of the FCC pursuant to 47
U.S.C. Section 310(d), in each case only if required, shall be obtained. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any related agreements to the contrary, any foreclosure on, sale,
transfer or other disposition of, or the exercise of any right to vote or consent with respect to
any of the Collateral as provided herein or therein, or any other action taken or proposed to be
taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder which would affect the operational,
voting, or other control of any FCC Authorization or any facility or station operated pursuant to
such FCC authorization, shall be in conformity with the requirements of the Communications Laws
and, if and to the extent required thereby, subject to the prior approval of the FCC.
12
Each Grantor agrees that, upon the request from time to time by the Administrative Agent
following an Event of Default, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue obtaining any
governmental, regulatory or third party consents, approvals or authorizations referred to in this
Section 2.07, including the preparation, signing and filing with (or causing to be prepared, signed
and filed with) the FCC of any application or applications for consent to the assignment of the FCC
Authorizations or transfer of control required to be signed by the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries necessary or appropriate under the FCC’s rules and regulations for approval of any
sale or transfer of any of the Equity Interests or the assets of the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any transfer of control in respect of any FCC Authorization.

Excluded Assets shall constitute Collateral hereunder and shall no longer constitute Excluded
Assets.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative

Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon any
reasonable request.
(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of
any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.
(d) The Administrative Agent is authorized to file with the USPTO or the USCO (or any

be required, nor is the Administrative Agent authorized, (i) to perfect the Security Interests
granted by this Security Agreement (including Security Interests in Investment Property and
Fixtures) by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the
office of the secretary of state (or similar
14
central filing office) of the relevant State(s), and filings in the applicable real estate
records with respect to any fixtures relating to Mortgaged Property, (B) filings in United States

SECTION 3.02 Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor jointly and severally
represents and warrants, as to itself and the other Grantors, to the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties that:
(a) Subject to Liens permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor
has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it
has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to
grant to the Administrative Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral
pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any
consent or approval that has been obtained.
(b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the
information set forth therein is correct and complete in all material respects (except the
information therein with respect to the exact legal name of each Grantor shall be correct
and complete in all respects) as of the Closing Date. Subject to Section 3.01(e), the
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or
registrations prepared by the Administrative Agent based upon the information provided to
the Administrative Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in the applicable filing
office (or specified by notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent after
the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations (other than filings
required to be made in the USPTO and the USCO in order to perfect the Security Interest in
Article 0 Xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights)
required by Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and
registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security
interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in
respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by
filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing,
refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such
jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of
continuation statements.
15
(c) Each Grantor represents and warrants that short-form Intellectual Property
Security Agreements containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of
United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United
States registration applications are pending, unless it constitutes an Excluded Asset) and
United States registered Copyrights, respectively, have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261,
15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, as may
be necessary to establish a valid and perfected security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9
Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights to the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or
registration in USPTO or USCO under the Federal intellectual property laws, and no further
or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is
necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect the Security
Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed
by any Grantor after the date hereof and (ii) the UCC financing and continuation statements
contemplated in Section 3.02(b)).
(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all
the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,
(ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in
all the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing,
recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States
(or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction and (iii) subject to the filings
described in Section 3.02(c), a perfected security interest in all registrations and
applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to the extent a security interest may
be perfected upon the receipt and recording of fully executed short-form Intellectual
Property Security Agreements with the USPTO and the USCO, as applicable. Subject to
Section 3.01(e) of this Agreement, the Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other
Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any statutory or similar Lien that
has priority as a matter of Law and (ii) any Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section
7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien,
except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or
analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable Laws covering
any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9
Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9
Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns
any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any
Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office,
16
which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or
similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted
pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(f) As of the date hereof, no Grantor has any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of
$15,000,000, other than the Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule III.
SECTION 3.03 Covenants.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing promptly, but in any
event within 60 days, after any change in the (i) the legal name of such Grantor, (ii) the identity
or type of organization or corporate structure of such Grantor, (iii) the jurisdiction of
organization of such Grantor, or (iv) the chief executive office of such Grantor.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all
commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all
Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral
and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the
Credit Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such
discontinuance is (x) determined by such Grantor to be desirable in the conduct of its business and
(y) permitted by the Credit Agreement.
(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the
preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Parent Borrower, on
behalf of the Grantors, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower setting forth the information required pursuant to
Schedules 1(a), 1(c) and 2 of the Perfection Certificate that has changed or confirming that there
has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most
recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).
(d) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute,
acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take
all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better
assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created
hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing
statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or
in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $15,000,000 shall be or
become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or debt security, such note, instrument
or debt security shall be promptly (and in any event within 30 days thereof) pledged and delivered
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
17
(e) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the
Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may
pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor
fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and within a
reasonable period of time (unless the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that such
actions or payments are necessary to protect the Security Interest, to avoid any loss or forfeiture
or material impairment of any material Collateral or the use thereof, or to preserve and maintain
any material Collateral in good condition) after the Administrative Agent has requested that it do
so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent within 10
Business Days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, the Grantors shall
not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with respect to any Intellectual Property
that any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be
put into the public domain, in accordance with Section 3.03(g)(iv). Nothing in this paragraph
shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises
of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or
other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account
Debtor or any other Person the value of which is in excess of $15,000,000 to secure payment and
performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of
public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against
creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security
interest.
(g) Intellectual Property Covenants.
(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement or with
respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, and except to the
extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable
business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect
to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which
such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all
reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other
governmental authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and
maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or
hereafter included in such Intellectual Property of such Grantor.
(ii) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement, or
with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, or except as would
not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable
18
business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no
Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its
Intellectual Property may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or
placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, become publicly known).
(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement,
or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in
the applicable Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as
deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to
preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property, including, without limitation,
maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection
with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of
the date hereof, and taking all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed
users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to
standards of quality.
(iv) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents any Grantor from
disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise
allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual
Property to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its
reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its
business.
(v) Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter each Grantor shall provide a
list of any additional registrations of Intellectual Property of such Grantor not
previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent including such information as is necessary
for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO.
(h) Commercial Tort Claims. If the Grantors shall at any time hold or acquire a
Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated by such Grantor to exceed
$15,000,000 for which this clause has not been satisfied and for which a complaint in a
court of competent jurisdiction has been filed, such Grantor shall within 45 days after the
end of the fiscal quarter in which such complaint was filed notify the Administrative Agent
thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim
and grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such
writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Agreement.
19
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to
Section 2.07, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the
Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable Law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at
its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative
Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted,
leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for
a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without
obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Administrative Agent
shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) require
each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon the request of the
Administrative Agent promptly, assign the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in each
of the Patents, Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties; (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under
or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the
Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such
exercise; and (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice
requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall
deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall not have
the right under this Agreement to assume operational control of any FCC Authorization and facility
or station operated pursuant to such FCC Authorization except in compliance with the Communications
Laws. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it
advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent
and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with
a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall
hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and
each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and
appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now
existing or hereafter enacted.
The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which
each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative
20
Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale,
shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a
securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day
on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or
exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours
and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of
such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot
as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part
of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained
by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof,
but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers
shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such
Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law,
private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to
the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part
of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by
Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof
by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against
the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold,
retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For
purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be
treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant
to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion
thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have
entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured
Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon
it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this
Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a
court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed
receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to
the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent
in other jurisdictions.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all
officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and
lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that
the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to, to the
extent reasonably practicable, or otherwise
21
promptly after, exercising such rights), for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting
claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such
Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies
if insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining
or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or to pay
any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent
in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and
other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the
Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash in
accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any
such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral
by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such
purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way
for the misapplication thereof.
In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Administrative
Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal
and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Administrative
Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such
information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error).
SECTION 4.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For
the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such
rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license
(until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) for cash, upon credit or for future
delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate to use, license or sublicense any of
the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same
may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the
licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the
22
Administrative Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent
permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted
thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and
shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default
and upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, and nothing in this
Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law,
statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in
the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing,
giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, with
respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant
Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall
be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which
such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. For the avoidance
of doubt, the use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of
the Administrative Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Furthermore, each
Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, subject
only to the giving of 10 Business Days’ notice to the Grantor, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO in
order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each registration and
application for a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to record the same.
ARTICLE V
Subordination
SECTION 5.01 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Grantors to indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law
or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.
No failure on the part of the Parent Borrower or any Grantor to make the payments required under
applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the
full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in
care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
23
SECTION 6.02 Waivers, Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer,
any Cash Management Bank or any Lender 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 Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the
Cash Management Banks and the Lenders 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 Grantor therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, 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, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank or any L/C
Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any
Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor 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
Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply,
subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in
connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations
secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 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 Secured 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be
payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04 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
24
by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, to the
extent permitted under Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Grantors hereunder and in the other 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 Secured Parties and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of
any Letters of Credit and the provision of Cash Management Services, regardless of any
investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management 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 (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and
payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification
obligations not yet accrued and payable) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is
outstanding (other than Letters of Credit in which the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations
related thereto have been Cash Collateralized or, if satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its
sole discretion, for which a backstop letter of credit is in place) or so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor 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 Grantor and the
Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign
or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (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 Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any
other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining
25
provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 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 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
any Grantor, any such notice being waived by each Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender
and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Grantors against any and
all obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement
and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different
from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such
Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff
and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.
SECTION 6.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service
of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing
law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(b) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 6.10 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 6.11 Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by Law, all rights
of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in
the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability
26
of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the
Secured 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
Secured 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, (c) any exchange,
release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of
or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the
Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this
Agreement.
SECTION 6.12 Reserved.
SECTION 6.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby
shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be
automatically released upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y)
Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations
not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than
Letters of Credit in which the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been
Cash Collateralized or, if satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for
which a backstop letter of credit is in place).
(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the
Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon
the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded
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.
(c) Upon any sale or transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the
Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness
of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral
pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall
be automatically released.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of
this Section 6.13, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such
Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by such Grantor to
effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and instruments. Any execution
and delivery of documents pursuant
27
to this Section 6.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6.14 Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement,
certain additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may be required to enter in this
Agreement as Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Restricted
Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution
and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.15 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time
after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent, subject to Section 2.07 hereof shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor
of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution
either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse,
assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other
evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect,
receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the
Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of
the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to
commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at Law or in equity in any court
of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to
enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or
defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify,
or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative
Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative
Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the
Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect
to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any
property covered thereby; and provided further, that no right accorded to Administrative Agent to
act as attorney-in-fact for any Grantor shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to
execute on behalf of any Grantor any application or other instrument required to be filed with the
FCC in any manner or under
28
any circumstances not permitted by the Communications Laws. The Administrative Agent and the
other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the
exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder,
except for their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of any of their
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact, in each case, as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.16 General Authority of the Administrative Agent. By acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a
signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the
Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to
confirm that the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of
such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other
Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the
giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral
or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action
to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor,
to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or
thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d)
to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.
SECTION 6.17 Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially similar to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.
SECTION 6.18 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective,
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the
Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all
as though such payments had not been made.
SECTION 6.19 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of
Default unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default
or a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as
Administrative Agent indicating that an Event
29
of Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation either prior to or
after receiving such notice to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall
be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice so
furnished to it.

SUPPLEMENT NO. ___dated as of [•], to the Non-Principal Properties (All Assets) Security
Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2008, among the Grantors
identified therein and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent.
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of May [ ], 2008 (as amended,

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
make Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit and the Cash Management Banks to provide
Cash Management Services. Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement provides that additional
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned (the “New
Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement
to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional
Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and the Cash Management Banks to
provide additional Cash Management Services and as consideration for Loans previously made, Letters
of Credit previously issued and Cash Management Services previously provided.
Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its
signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if
originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and
provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents
and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true
and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as
security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and
grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New
Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement)
of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to
include the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general
principles of equity.
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 Grantor and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic
communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the location of any and all Collateral of the New
Grantor, the information required by Schedules II and III to the Security Agreement applicable to
it and the list of (i) all Intellectual Property held by the New Grantor and (ii) all instruments
and debt securities held by the New Grantor and required to be delivered pursuant to the Security
Agreement and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the
New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. 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 Security 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.
2
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplement, including
the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Administrative Agent is authorized to file with the USPTO or the USCO (or any
successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting,
confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest in United States Intellectual
Property granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or
the Grantor as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party.
7
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, none of the Grantors shall
be required, nor is the Administrative Agent authorized, (i) to perfect the Security Interests
granted by this Security Agreement (including Security Interests in Investment Property and
Fixtures) by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the
office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant State(s), (B)
filings in United States government offices with respect to Intellectual Property as expressly
required elsewhere herein, or (C) other methods expressly provided herein, (ii) to enter into any
deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement with respect to any
deposit account or securities account, (iii) to take any action (other than the actions listed in
clause (i)(A) above) with respect to any assets located outside of the United States or (iv) to
perfect in any assets subject to a certificate of title statute.
SECTION 3.02 Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor jointly and severally
represents and warrants, as to itself and the other Grantors, to the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties that:
(a) Subject to Liens permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor
has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it
has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to
grant to the Administrative Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral
pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any
consent or approval that has been obtained.
(b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the
information set forth therein is correct and complete in all material respects (except the
information therein with respect to the exact legal name of each Grantor shall be correct
and complete in all respects) as of the Closing Date. Subject to Section 3.01(e), the
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or
registrations prepared by the Administrative Agent based upon the information provided to
the Administrative Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in the applicable filing
office (or specified by notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent after
the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations (other than filings
required to be made in the USPTO and the USCO in order to perfect the Security Interest in
Article 0 Xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights)
required by Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and
registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security
interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in
respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by
filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing,
refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such
jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of
continuation statements.
8
(c) Each Grantor represents and warrants that short-form Intellectual Property
Security Agreements containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of
United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United
States registration applications are pending, unless it constitutes an Excluded Asset) and
United States registered Copyrights, respectively, have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261,
15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, as may
be necessary to establish a valid and perfected security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9
Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights to the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or
registration in USPTO or USCO under the Federal intellectual property laws, and no further
or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is
necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect the Security
Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed
by any Grantor after the date hereof and (ii) the UCC financing and continuation statements
contemplated in Section 3.02(b)).
(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all
the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,
(ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in
all the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing,
recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States
(or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction and (iii) subject to the filings
described in Section 3.02(c), a perfected security interest in all registrations and
applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights to the extent a security interest may
be perfected upon the receipt and recording of fully executed short-form Intellectual
Property Security Agreements with the USPTO and the USCO, as applicable. Subject to
Section 3.01(e) of this Agreement, the Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other
Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any statutory or similar Lien that
has priority as a matter of Law and (ii) any Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section
7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien,
except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or
analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable Laws covering
any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9
Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9
Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns
any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any
Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office,
9
which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or
similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted
pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 3.03 Covenants.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing promptly, but in any
event within 60 days, after any change in the (i) the legal name of such Grantor, (ii) the identity
or type of organization or corporate structure of such Grantor, (iii) the jurisdiction of
organization of such Grantor, or (iv) the chief executive office of such Grantor.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all
commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all
Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral
and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the
Credit Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such
discontinuance is (x) determined by such Grantor to be desirable in the conduct of its business and
(y) permitted by the Credit Agreement.
(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the
preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Parent Borrower, on
behalf of the Grantors, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower setting forth the information required pursuant to
Schedules 1(a), 1(c) and 2 of the Perfection Certificate that has changed or confirming that there
has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most
recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).
(d) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute,
acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take
all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better
assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created
hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing
statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or
in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $15,000,000 shall be or
become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or debt security, such note, instrument
or debt security shall be promptly (and in any event within 30 days thereof) pledged and delivered
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the
Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section
10
7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article
9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document and within a reasonable period of time (unless the Administrative Agent
determines in good faith that such actions or payments are necessary to protect the Security
Interest, to avoid any loss or forfeiture or material impairment of any material Collateral or the
use thereof, or to preserve and maintain any material Collateral in good condition) after the
Administrative Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after demand for any payment made or any
reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization;
provided, however, the Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with
respect to any Intellectual Property that any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or
otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, in accordance with Section
3.03(g)(iv). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the
performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure
or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein
or in the other Loan Documents.
(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account
Debtor or any other Person the value of which is in excess of $15,000,000 to secure payment and
performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of
public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against
creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security
interest.
(g) Intellectual Property Covenants.
(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement or with
respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, and except to the
extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable
business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect
to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which
such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all
reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other
governmental authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and
maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or
hereafter included in such Intellectual Property of such Grantor.
(ii) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement, or
with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, or except as would
not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property may lapse, be
terminated, or become invalid
11
or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade
secret, become publicly known).
(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement,
or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in
the applicable Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as
deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to
preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property, including, without limitation,
maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection
with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of
the date hereof, and taking all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed
users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to
standards of quality.
(iv) Within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter each Grantor shall provide a
list of any additional registrations of Intellectual Property of such Grantor (x) not
previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent and (y) that constitute Non-Principal
Properties Collateral, including such information as is necessary for such Grantor to make
appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO.
(v) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents any Grantor from
disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise
allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual
Property to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its
reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its
business.
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise
any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including
the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and also may (i) require
each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the
Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the
Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be
designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy
any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the
Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to
effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in
respect of such occupation; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable
Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) require each
12
Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon the request of the
Administrative Agent promptly, assign the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in each
of the Patents, Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties; (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under
or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the
Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such
exercise; and (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice
requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall
deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall not have
the right under this Agreement to assume operational control of any FCC Authorization and facility
or station operated pursuant to such FCC Authorization except in compliance with the Communications
Laws. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it
advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent
and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with
a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or
purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall
hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and
each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and
appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now
existing or hereafter enacted.
The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which
each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of
Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such
sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the
board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion
thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be
held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the
Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the
Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent
until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent
shall not incur any liability in case any
13
such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and,
in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public
(or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured
Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption,
stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived
and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale
and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured
Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon
compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further
accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent
shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to
the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that
after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default
shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising
the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits
at Law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to
a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section
4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section
9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all
officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and
lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that
the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to, to the
extent reasonably practicable, or otherwise promptly after, exercising such rights), for the
purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under
policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other
item of payment for the proceeds of such policies if insurance, (ii) making all determinations and
decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance
required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall
be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash in
accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any
such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral
by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power
14
of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative
Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or
purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see
to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such
officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Administrative
Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal
and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Administrative
Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such
information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error).
SECTION 4.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For
the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such
rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license
(until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) for cash, upon credit or for future
delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate to use, license or sublicense any of
the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same
may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the
licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the
Administrative Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent
permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted
thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and
shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default
and upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, and nothing in this
Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law,
statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in
the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing,
giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, with
respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant
Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall
be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which
such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. For the avoidance
of doubt, the use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of
the Administrative Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Furthermore, each
Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, subject
only to the giving of 10 Business Days’ notice to the Grantor,
15
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may
be required by the USPTO or the USCO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title
and interest in each registration and application for a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to
record the same.
ARTICLE V
Subordination
SECTION 5.01 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Grantors to indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law
or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.
No failure on the part of the Parent Borrower or any Grantor to make the payments required under
applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the
full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in
care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.02 Waivers, Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer,
any Cash Management Bank or any Lender 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 Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the
Cash Management Banks and the Lenders 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 Grantor therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, 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, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank or any L/C
Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any
16
Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor 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
Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply,
subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in
connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations
secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 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 Secured 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be
payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04 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 Grantor or
the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Grantors hereunder and in the other 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 Secured Parties and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of
any Letters of Credit and the provision of Cash Management Services, regardless of any
investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management 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 (other than (x) obligations under
17
Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due
and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) is
outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (other than Letters of Credit in
which the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized
or, if satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for which a backstop letter
of credit is in place) or so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor 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 Grantor and the
Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign
or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (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 Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any
other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 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 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
any Grantor, any such notice being waived by each Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender
and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Grantors against any and
all obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although
18
such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency
different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application
made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 6.08 are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.
SECTION 6.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service
of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing
law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(b) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 6.10 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 6.11 Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by Law, all rights
of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each Grantor
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 Secured 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 Secured 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, (c) any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of
the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this
Agreement.
SECTION 6.12 Reserved.
SECTION 6.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby
shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be
automatically released upon termination of the Aggregate
19
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured
Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable
and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or
termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit in which the Outstanding Amount
of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized or, if satisfactory to the
relevant L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for which a backstop letter of credit is in place).
(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the
Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon
the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded
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.
(c) Upon any sale or transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the
Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness
of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral
pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall
be automatically released.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of
this Section 6.13, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such
Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by such Grantor to
effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and instruments. Any execution
and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by
the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6.14 Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement,
certain additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may be required to enter in this
Agreement as Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Restricted
Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution
and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.15 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time
after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest.
20
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have
the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise
such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the
name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances,
checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part
thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and
releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or
xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable

Law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or
any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle,
compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of
the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment
directly to the Administrative Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other
acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as
though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes;
provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the
Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency
of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or
to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to
become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby; and provided further, that no right
accorded to Administrative Agent to act as attorney-in-fact for any Grantor shall be deemed to
authorize Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of any Grantor any application or other
instrument required to be filed with the FCC in any manner or under any circumstances not permitted
by the Communications Laws. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to
them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact, in each case, as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.16 General Authority of the Administrative Agent. By acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a
signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the
Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to
confirm that the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of
such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other
Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the
giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral
or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action
to enforce
21
any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor, to
exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or
thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d)
to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.
SECTION 6.17 Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially similar to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.
SECTION 6.18 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective,
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the
Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all
as though such payments had not been made.
SECTION 6.19 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of
Default unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default
or a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as
Administrative Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation either prior to or after receiving such notice to inquire whether an Event
of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully
protected in so relying, on any notice so furnished to it.

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its

reference.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its

principles of equity.
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 Grantor and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic
communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this

SECTION 7. 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 Security 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.
2
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable

Credit Agreement and are willing to execute and deliver this Agreement in order to induce the
Lenders to extend such credit. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

enforceable restriction in respect of, or result in the abandonment, invalidation or
unenforceability of, such General Intangible, or other property or rights in favor of a
third party or under any law, regulation, permit, order or decree of any Governmental
Authority, unless and until all required consents shall have been obtained (for the
avoidance of doubt, the restrictions described herein shall not include negative pledges or
similar undertakings in favor of a lender or other financial counterparty) or (y) expressly
give any other party (other than another Grantor or its Affiliates) in respect of any such
contract, instrument, or other document, the right to terminate its obligations thereunder,
provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this clause (b) shall not affect,
limit, restrict or impair the grant by a Grantor of a security interest pursuant to this
Agreement in any such Collateral to the extent that an otherwise applicable prohibition or
restriction on such grant is rendered ineffective by any applicable Law, including the UCC;

the applicable Retained Notes Documentation; provided, however, that if any Retained
Existing Notes become required to be secured by a Lien on any assets that would otherwise
constitute Collateral as a result of a breach by the Parent Borrower of the covenant set
forth in the last paragraph of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, then such assets shall
not be excluded from the Collateral pursuant to this clause (e); and
(f) any particular assets if, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent,
determined in consultation with the Parent Borrower and evidenced in writing, the burden,
cost or consequences (including any material adverse tax consequences) to the Parent
Borrower or its Subsidiaries of creating or perfecting a pledge or security interest in
such assets in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or
taking other actions in respect of such assets is excessive in relation to the benefits to
be obtained therefrom by the Secured Parties;
provided that upon the satisfaction of the Existing Notes Condition, the assets
specified in clause (d) above shall constitute Collateral hereunder and shall no longer
constitute Excluded Assets.

relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or

information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon any reasonable request.
(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative

any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, none of the Grantors shall
be required, nor is the Administrative Agent authorized, (i) to perfect the Security Interests

6.11 of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are
necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9
Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or
registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its
territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording,
rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except
as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.
6
(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all
the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,
and (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest
in all the Article 9 Collateral in which a security inter
est may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or
analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its
territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant
jurisdiction. Subject to Section 3.01(e) of this Agreement, the Security Interest is and
shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any
statutory or similar Lien that has priority as a matter of Law and (ii) any Liens expressly
permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien,
except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.

analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable Laws covering
any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9
Collateral or any security agreement or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns
any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any
Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which
financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar
instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant
to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 3.03 Covenants.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing promptly, but in any
event within 60 days, after any change in the (i) the legal name of such Grantor, (ii) the identity
or type of organization or corporate structure of such Grantor, (iii) the jurisdiction of
organization of such Grantor, or (iv) the chief executive office of such Grantor.
(b) Subject to Sections 3.01(e), each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all
commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all
Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral
and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the
Credit Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such
discontinuance is (x) determined by such Grantor to be desirable in the conduct of its business and
(y) permitted by the Credit Agreement.
(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the
preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Parent Borrower, on
behalf of the Grantors, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower setting forth
7
the information required pursuant to
Schedules 1(a), 1(c) and 2 of the Perfection Certificate that has changed or confirming that there
has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most
recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).
(d) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute,
acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take
all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better
assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created
hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing
statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or
in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $15,000,000 shall be or
become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or debt security, such note, instrument
or debt security shall be promptly (and in any event within 30 days thereof) pledged and delivered
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the
Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may
pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor
fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and within a
reasonable period of time (unless the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that such
actions or payments are necessary to protect the Security Interest, to avoid any loss or forfeiture
or material impairment of any material Collateral or the use thereof, or to preserve and maintain
any material Collateral in good condition) after the Administrative Agent has requested that it do
so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent within 10
Business Days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of
any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other
encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account
Debtor or any other Person the value of which is in excess of $15,000,000 to secure payment and
performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of
public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against
creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security
interest.
8
SECTION 3.04 Second Priority Nature of Liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be a Second Priority lien on and security
interest in the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise
any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including
the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and also may (i) require
each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the
Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the
Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be
designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy
any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the
Collateral or any part thereof is located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights
and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such
occupation; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice
thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and
the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or
for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate; (iv) demand, xxx for,
collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the
Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligators on any agreement, instrument or other
obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such
agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Administrative Agent, and in connection
with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other
modifications with respect thereto; and (v) withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other
property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Grantor constituting
Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
Administrative Agent shall not have the right under this Agreement to assume operational control of
any FCC Authorization and facility or station operated pursuant to such FCC Authorization except in
compliance with the Communications Laws. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold
the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each
Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal
which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or
hereafter enacted.
The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which
each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of
9
Section 9-611 of the UCC or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of
Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such
sale. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and
at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of
such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot
as an entirety or in sepa
rate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.
The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent
until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent
shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again
upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant
to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law)
from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any
part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due
and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such
Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written
agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor
shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto,
notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.
As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative
Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell
the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having
competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all
officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and
lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that
the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to, to the
extent reasonably practicable, or otherwise promptly after, exercising such rights), for the
purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under
policies of insurance, endorsing the
10
name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other
item of payment for the proceeds of such policies if insurance, (ii) making all determinations and
decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance
required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating
thereto. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relat
ing thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative
Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 4.02 Certain Matters Relating to Accounts.
(a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
after giving reasonable notice to the Parent Borrower and any other relevant Grantor, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make test verifications of
the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that the Administrative Agent reasonably
considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish such assistance and information as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. The
Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such
inspection or verification with any Secured Party.
(b) At the Administrative Agent’s request at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all
original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which
gave rise to the Accounts, including all original invoices.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a Grantor shall
not, without prior consent from the Administrative Agent, grant any extension of the time of
payment of any of the Accounts; compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full
amount thereof; release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof; or allow any
credit or discount whatsoever thereon if the Administrative Agent shall have instructed the
Grantors not to grant or make any such extension, credit, discount, compromise or settlement under
any circumstances during the continuance of such Event of Default.
(d) Each Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, legend the Accounts and the other
books, records and documents of such Grantor evidencing or pertaining to Accounts with an
appropriate reference to the fact that the Accounts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Administrative Agent has a security interest
therein.
SECTION 4.03 Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.
11
The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any
such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral
by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such
purchaser or purchasers shall not
be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the
Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.03, the Administrative
Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal
and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Administrative
Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such
information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error).
ARTICLE V
Subordination
SECTION 5.01 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Grantors to indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law
or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.
No failure on the part of the Parent Borrower or any Grantor to make the payments required under
applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the
full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in
care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.02 Waivers, Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer,
any Cash Management Bank or any Lender in exercising any
12
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 Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the
Cash Management Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Docu
ments 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 Grantor
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section 6.02, 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, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash
Management Bank or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No
notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor 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
Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply,
subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in
connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations
secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 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 Secured 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be
payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04 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 Grantor or
the Administrative Agent that are contained in
13
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Grantors hereunder and in the other 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 Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit and the
provision of Cash Management Services, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer,
any Cash Management 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 (other than (x) obligations under
Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and
payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) is outstanding
and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless cash collateral or other credit support
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer thereof in its sole discretion has been provided) or so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor 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 Grantor and the
Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign
or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (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 Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any
other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
14
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 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time
to time, without prior notice to any Grantor, any such notice being waived by each Grantor to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at
any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the
respective Grantors against any and all obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates
hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall
have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured
or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such
set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this
Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender may have.
SECTION 6.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service
of Process.
(a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing
law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by
reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(b) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
SECTION 6.10 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 are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 6.11 Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by Law, all rights
of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in
the Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor 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 Secured 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,
15
all or any of the Secured 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, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any
guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor
in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 6.12 Intercreditor Agreement Governs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between a provision of the
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement that relates solely to the rights or obligations of, or
relationships between, the ABL Secured Parties and the Cash Flow Secured Parties (as each such term
is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
control. So long as the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect, any requirement in this Agreement to
deliver any ABL Priority Collateral (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to the
Administrative Agent shall be satisfied by delivery of such ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL
Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).
SECTION 6.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby
shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be
automatically released when all the outstanding Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents (in
each case, other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y)
Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations
not yet accrued and payable) have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to
lend under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (unless cash
collateral or other credit support satisfactory to the L/C Issuers thereof in each of their sole
discretion has been provided) and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of
Credit under the Credit Agreement.
(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the
Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon
the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded
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.
(c) Upon any sale or transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the
Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness
of any written consent to the release of the security interest
16
granted hereby in any Collateral
pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall
be automatically released.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of
this Section 6.13, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such
Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by such Grantor to
effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and instruments. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to
this Section 6.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6.14 Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement,
certain additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may be required to enter in this
Agreement as Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Restricted
Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution
and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.15 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time
after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
and notice by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s
intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative
Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and
all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the
Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and
give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor
on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of
Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions
or proceedings at Law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise
realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f)
to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all
or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to
make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do
all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and
completely as though the Administrative Agent were the
17
absolute owner of the Collateral for all
purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the
Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency
of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or
to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to
become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby; and provided further, that no right
accorded to Administrative Agent to act as attorney-in-fact for any Grantor shall be deemed to
authorize Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of any Grantor any application or
other instrument required to be filed with the FCC in any manner or under any circumstances
not permitted by the Communications Laws. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers
granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall
be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact, in each case, as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.16 General Authority of the Administrative Agent. By acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a
signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the
Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to
confirm that the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of
such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other
Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the
giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral
or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action
to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor,
to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or
thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d)
to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.
SECTION 6.17 Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially similar to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.
SECTION 6.18 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective,
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the
Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator
18
of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all
as though such payments had not been made.
SECTION 6.19 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of
Default unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default
or a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to
the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent indicating that an Event of
Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation either prior to or after
receiving such notice to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be
entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice so
furnished to it.

Schedule I to
the Receivables Collateral Security Agreement
SUBSIDIARY PARTIES
The entities set forth on the draft of this schedule delivered to the Arrangers on or immediately
prior to the Specified Date to the extent they are wholly-owned direct or indirect Domestic
Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) of the Parent Borrower on the Closing Date and any
other entities which would additionally be required to become Grantors under this Agreement after
giving effect to the Transactions pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.
Exhibit I to the
Receivables Collateral Security Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO.
dated as of [•], to the Receivables Collateral Security Agreement (the
”Security Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2008, among the Grantors identified therein
and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent.
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of May [ ], 2008 (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among BT TRIPLE
CROWN MERGER CO., INC., to be merged with and into Clear Channel Communications, Inc.(the “Parent
Borrower”), Clear Channel Capital I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, certain other
Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower from time to time party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, each Lender from time to time party thereto and the other agents named
therein.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
make Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit and the Cash Management Banks to provide
Cash Management Services. Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement provides that additional
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned (the “New
Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement
to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional
Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and the Cash Management Banks to
provide additional Cash Management Services and as consideration for Loans previously made, Letters
of Credit previously issued and Cash Management Services previously provided.
Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its
signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if
originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and
provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents
and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true
and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as
security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and
grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured
2
Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New
Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement)
of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to
include the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general
principles of equity.
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 Grantor and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic
communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that set forth under its signature
hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the
location of its chief executive office and a list of all Instruments relating to Collateral with a
value in excess of $15,000,000 held by such New Grantor.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. 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 Security 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

(b) Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent, any Pledged Equity shall be accompanied
by stock or security powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer

Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that might prohibit, impair, delay or

such Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the

payment and performance of the Secured Obligations to the extent such perfection is

(h) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged
Collateral as set forth herein.

during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will comply with instructions of the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Equity Interests in Holdings that constitute Pledged
Equity hereunder that are not certificated without further consent by the applicable owner or
holder of such Equity Interests.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any provision of
this Agreement or the Credit Agreement excludes any assets from the scope of the Pledged
Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to perfect any security interest in favor of
the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants
made by Holdings in this Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as
applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of the Administrative Agent (including,
without limitation, this Section 2.03) shall be deemed not to apply to such excluded assets.
4
SECTION 2.04. Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership
Interests. No interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by
Holdings that constitutes Pledged Equity shall be represented by a certificate unless (i) the
limited liability company agreement or partnership agreement expressly provides that such interests
shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction,
and (ii) such certificate shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section
2.02. Any limited liability company and any limited partnership controlled by Holdings shall
either (a) not include in its operative documents any provision that any Equity Interests in such
limited liability company or such limited partnership be a “security” as defined under Article 8 of
the Uniform Commercial Code or (b) certificate any Equity Interests in any such limited liability
company or such limited partnership. To the extent an interest in any limited liability company or
limited partnership controlled by Holdings and pledged under Section 2.01 is certificated or
becomes certificated, (i) each such certificate shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent,
pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and (ii) Holdings shall fulfill all other requirements under Section
2.02 applicable in respect thereof. Holdings hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged Collateral
are at any time not evidenced by certificates of ownership, then each applicable Grantor shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in
such Pledged Collateral, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books
of the issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to
complete the pledge and give the Administrative Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Collateral
under the terms hereof.
SECTION 2.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give Holdings notice of
its intent to exercise such rights, (a) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
shall have the right (subject to Section 2.07 hereof but otherwise in its sole and absolute
discretion) to hold the Pledged Equity in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as
pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of Holdings, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the
Administrative Agent and Holdings will promptly give to the Administrative Agent copies of any
notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Equity registered in the
name of Holdings and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates
representing Pledged Equity for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose
consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 2.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. (a) Unless and until an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have provided
notice to Holdings that its rights under this Section 2.06 are being suspended (with any such
notice of suspension to be given and to be effective only consistent with Section 2.07 hereof and
to be effective only to the extent permitted by Section 2.07 hereof):
(i) Holdings shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Equity
5
or any part thereof and Holdings agrees that it shall exercise such rights for
purposes consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
(ii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice)
execute and deliver to Holdings, or cause to be executed and delivered to Holdings,
all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as Holdings may
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Holdings to exercise the voting
and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
subparagraph (i) above.
(iii) Holdings shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of
the Pledged Equity to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or
distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any noncash dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity,
whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the
outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Equity or received in
exchange for Pledged Equity or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a
result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to
which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the
Pledged Collateral, and, if received by Holdings, shall not be commingled by
Holdings with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and
apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties and shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 Business
Days) delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). So
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to Holdings any Pledged Equity in its
possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with
any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Equity permitted by the Credit Agreement
in accordance with this Section 2.06(a)(iii).
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Administrative Agent shall have notified Holdings of the suspension of its rights under
paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of Holdings to dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions that Holdings is authorized to receive pursuant
to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right
and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions. All dividends,
6
interest, principal or other distributions received by Holdings contrary to the
provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of Holdings and
shall be promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days) delivered to the Administrative
Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Any and all money and other property
paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to be established
by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02. After all Events of Default
have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to Holdings
(without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that Holdings
would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this
Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Administrative Agent shall have provided Holdings with notice of the suspension of its
rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, then, subject to Section 2.07 hereof,
all rights of Holdings to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations
of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and,
subject to Section 2.07 hereof, all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise
directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time
to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit Holdings to
exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, Holdings
shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers
that Holdings would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph
(a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of
this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated.
(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to Holdings suspending the rights of
Holdings under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing and shall
conform to and be subject to the requirements of Section 2.07 hereof and (ii) may suspend
the rights of Holdings under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in
part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its
sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Administrative
Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long
as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
7
SECTION 2.07. FCC Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that (a) if the suspension of Holdings’
rights in respect of the Pledged Equity and the vesting of such rights in the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.06 requires the approval of the FCC, such rights will not be suspended and
will remain vested in Holdings upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and
until such approval has been obtained; (b) if any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent
in respect of the Pledged Equity pursuant to Section 3.01 requires the approval of the FCC, the
Administrative Agent shall not exercise such remedies unless and until such approval has been
obtained and voting rights in the Pledged Collateral shall remain with Holdings even if an Event of
Default has occurred unless any such required prior FCC approval shall have been obtained; (c) if
the Administrative Agent exercises any remedies of foreclosure in respect to the Pledged Collateral
following the occurrence of an Event of Default, there will be either a private or public
arm’s-length sale of the Pledged Collateral; and (d) prior to the exercise of any rights of the
purchaser at such sale of such Pledged Collateral, the prior consent of the FCC pursuant to 47
U.S.C. Section 310(d), in each case only if required, shall be obtained. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any related agreements to the contrary, any foreclosure on, sale,
transfer or other disposition of, or the exercise of any right to vote or consent with respect to
any of the Pledged Collateral as provided herein or therein, or any other action taken or proposed
to be taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder which would affect the operational,
voting, or other control of any FCC Authorization or any facility or station operated pursuant to
such FCC authorization, shall be in conformity with the requirements of the Communications Laws
and, if and to the extent required thereby, subject to the prior approval of the FCC.
Holdings agrees that, upon the request from time to time by the Administrative Agent following
an Event of Default, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue obtaining any
governmental, regulatory or third party consents, approvals or authorizations referred to in this
Section 2.07, including the preparation, signing and filing with (or causing to be prepared, signed
and filed with) the FCC of any application or applications for consent to the assignment of the FCC
Authorizations or transfer of control required to be signed by the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries necessary or appropriate under the FCC’s rules and regulations for approval of any
sale or transfer of any of the Equity Interests or the assets of the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any transfer of control in respect of any FCC Authorization.
ARTICLE III
Remedies
SECTION 3.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to
Section 2.07 hereof, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the
Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable Law and also may (i) exercise
8
any and all rights and remedies of Holdings under or in connection with the Pledged
Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Pledged Collateral; provided that the Administrative
Agent shall provide Holdings with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (ii) subject to the
mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at
a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall not have the right under this Agreement to
assume operational control of any FCC Authorization and facility or station operated pursuant to
such FCC Authorization except in compliance with the Communications Laws. The Administrative Agent
shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict
the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall
have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Pledged Collateral shall hold the property
sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Holdings, and Holdings hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which Holdings now
has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Administrative Agent shall give Holdings 10 days’ written notice (which Holdings agrees is
reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Pledged Collateral.
Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the
case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange
at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof,
will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at
such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative
Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Pledged
Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Pledged Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Pledged Collateral shall
have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public
or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is
made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the
Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
9
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of
any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or,
to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party
may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay,
valuation or appraisal on the part of Holdings (all said rights being also hereby waived and
released to the extent permitted by Law), the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for
sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such
Secured Party from Holdings as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may,
upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further
accountability to Holdings therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the
Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative
Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and Holdings shall not be
entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto,
notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.
As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative
Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell
the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts
having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions.
Holdings irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all
officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as its true and lawful agent
(and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that the
Administrative Agent shall provide Holdings with notice thereof prior to, to the extent reasonably
practicable, or otherwise promptly after, exercising such rights), for the purpose of (i) endorsing
the name of Holdings on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment representing or
included in the Pledged Collateral and (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect
thereto. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto,
shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by Holdings to the Administrative Agent and shall be
additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 3.02. Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of Pledged Collateral, including any Pledged Collateral
consisting of cash in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any
such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Pledged
Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a
10
power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the
Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall
not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the
Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 3.02, the Administrative
Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal
and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Administrative
Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such
information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent Holdings from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error).
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 in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.02. Waivers, Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management Bank or any Lender 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 Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Cash Management Banks and the Lenders
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 Holdings 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, issuance of a Letter of Credit or provision of Cash
Management Services shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank or any L/C
Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on
Holdings in any case shall entitle Holdings to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.
11
(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 Holdings, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 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
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in connection
herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured
Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. 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 Secured 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 Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable within 10
days of 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 Holdings or
the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by Holdings hereunder and in the other 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 Secured Parties and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of
any Letters of Credit and the provision of Cash Management Services, regardless of any
investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Cash Management 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 (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and
payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification
obligations not yet accrued and payable) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is
outstanding (other than Letters of Credit in which the Outstanding
12
Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized or, if
satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for which a backstop letter of
credit is in place) or so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 4.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective as to Holdings when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of Holdings 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 Holdings and the Administrative
Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, except that Holdings shall not have the right to assign or transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Pledged Collateral (and any such
assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 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. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to
Holdings, any such notice being waived by Holdings to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its
Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Holdings against any and all obligations owing to
such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations
may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable
deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Holdings and the Administrative
Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each
Lender under this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of set-off) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 4.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service
of Process.

herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

manner provided for notices in Section 4.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the

SECTION 4.11. Security Interest Absolute. To the extent permitted by Law, all rights
of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral
and all obligations of Holdings 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 Secured 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 Secured 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, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other

granted hereby shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising

under the Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Grantor), or upon the
effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby
in any Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security
interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.
(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section 4.13, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Holdings, at
Holdings’ expense, all documents that Holdings shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by
Holdings to effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and
instruments. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall
be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 4.14. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Holdings hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of Holdings for the purpose of carrying out
the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time
after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent, subject to Section 2.07 hereof shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Administrative Agent to Holdings of the
Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in

necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the
Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Pledged Collateral for all purposes; provided
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative
Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment
received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any
action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become
due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby; and provided further, that no right
accorded to
15
Administrative Agent to act as attorney-in-fact for Holdings shall be deemed to authorize
Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of Holdings any application or other instrument required
to be filed with the FCC in any manner or under any circumstances not permitted by the
Communications Laws. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable
only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them
herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Holdings for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith,
or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel,
agents or attorneys-in-fact, in each case, as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

confirm that the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of
such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other
Collateral Documents against Holdings, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the
giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Pledged
Collateral or Holdings’ obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any
action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against
Holdings, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals
hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral
Documents.
SECTION 4.16. Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to exercise
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Pledged Collateral in its possession;
provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any of the Pledged Collateral, if such Pledged Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially similar to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property.
SECTION 4.17. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Secured
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or
any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization
of the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Parent Borrower or
any other Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such
payments had not been made.
16
SECTION 4.18. Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have actual,
constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default or a
notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as
Administrative Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred. The Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation either prior to or after receiving such notice to inquire whether an Event
of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully
protected in so relying, on any notice so furnished to it.

have “notice of an adverse claim” (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code) with respect to such Pledged Equity at the time such Pledged Equity is delivered
to the Administrative Agent, the respective security interests in such Pledged Equity created in

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF WASHINGTON COUNSEL
Each Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the
State of Washington. Each Guarantor has all necessary corporate power and corporate authority to
enter into, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Documents to which it is party and to
own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.
Each Guarantor has authorized, by all necessary corporate action, the execution, delivery and
performance of each of the Documents to which it is party, and each Guarantor has executed and
delivered each such Document to the party or parties to whom such Document is to be given.
Except for filings required for the perfection of the Agent’s liens and security interests, no
approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any Washington state governmental
authority, is required in connection with the execution and delivery by each Guarantor of the
Documents to which it is party and the performance of its agreements in such Documents, except for
those that have already been obtained and are in full force and effect.
Execution and delivery by each Guarantor of, and the performance of its agreements in, each of
the Documents to which it is party (a) do not violate the applicable Guarantor’s articles of
incorporation or bylaws; (b) are not prohibited by, nor do they result in the imposition of a fine,
penalty or other similar sanction for a violation under, the provisions of Washington state laws or
regulations; and (c) to our knowledge, do not violate any judgment, decree or order of any
Washington state court binding on tiny Guarantor. For purposes of expressing the opinion in Clause
(c) of this Paragraph 4, we have with your express consent relied solely upon our review of
CourtTrax Corporation’s on-line searches of each Guarantor’s name in the statewide court computer
information system for the state of Washington, specifically the Washington State Superior Court
Index for civil cases, the court records of Washington State Courts of Appeals, and the court
records of the Washington State Supreme Court, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit B. We
have assumed that such search results are accurate and complete. We have not caused the search of
any other court records, including without limitation any Federal Court, Bankruptcy Court, Tribal
Courts of Appeals, Municipal Court, or District Courts located in Washington State.
The Financing Statements are in proper form for filing in the Filing Office. The security
interest of the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in that portion of the Article 9
Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement
under the UCC will be a perfected security interest upon the filing of the Financing Statements
with the Filing Office.
There are no stamp taxes, recording taxes, real property transfer taxes or similar charges payable
under Washington law on account of the execution and delivery of the Documents or the creation of
the indebtedness evidenced by or secured by any of the Documents or upon the filing of the
Financing Statements except (a) nominal filing fees payable to the Filing Office and (b) any fees
or charges payable to any entity whose services may have been used to assist in such filing. We
express no opinion, however, with respect to any income, franchise, sales, withholding, real or
personal property, business license, business and occupation tax or any other tax that may result
from the transactions contemplated by the Documents or the performance of the obligations described

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF TEXAS COUNSEL
Each Obligor that is a corporation is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Texas. Each Obligor that is a limited partnership
is a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Texas. Each Obligor has all requisite corporate or limited partnership power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted.
Each Obligor has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each of
the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder, including, in
the case of the Company, the borrowing of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit under the
Credit Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which each
Obligor is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited partnership
action on the part of such Obligor. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each
Obligor.
The execution and delivery by each Obligor of the Loan Documents to which such Obligor is a
party and the performance by each Obligor of their respective obligations thereunder (including, in
the case of the Company, the borrowing of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit on the Closing
Date) (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other
action by, any Governmental Authority of the State of Texas, except (i) such as have been obtained
or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created by the
Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the filing of the Financing Statements, and (b) do
not violate (i) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Obligor’s respective articles of
incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership, or partnership agreement, as applicable,
(ii) any Texas statutory law or regulation or (iii) to our knowledge, any judgment, decree or order
of any Governmental Authority of the State of Texas listed on Schedule I hereto.
The Financing Statements are in proper form for filing in the Office of Secretary of State of
the State of Texas (the “Filing Office”). The filing of the Financing Statements in the
Filing Office is sufficient to perfect (within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the State of Texas (the “UCC”)) a security interest in all rights of
each Obligor in and to the items and types of Collateral in which a security interest has been
created under the respective Security Agreements to which such Obligor is a party that may be
perfected under the UCC by the filing of a financing statement in the Filing Office. Assuming that
the Financing Statements have been filed in the Filing Office and have not subsequently been
released, terminated or modified, the Administrative Agent’s security interest in all rights of
each Obligor in and to those items and types of Collateral described in the respective Security
Agreements to which such Obligor is a party, in which a security interest has been created under
Article 9 of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code, has been perfected, to the extent a security
interest in such Collateral may be perfected under the UCC by the filing of a financing statement
in the Filing Office.
No Texas local taxes or other charges, including, without limitation, intangible or
documentary stamp taxes, recording taxes, transfer taxes or similar charges, imposed by any
government department or other taxing authority of or in the State of Texas are payable on account
of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the creation of the indebtedness evidenced or
secured by any of the Loan Documents or the recording or filing of the Financing Statements, except
for nominal filing or recording fees, and other than taxes, fees or other
charges based on the income of the Lenders, including, without limitation, the Texas Margins
Tax.

Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Ohio Loan
Party. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Ohio Loan Party to which it

The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents to be entered into by
each of the Ohio Loan Parties and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority of the State of Ohio, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are
in full force and effect, and (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created by the Loan

of any Governmental Authority of the State of Ohio known to us to be applicable to any Ohio Loan

favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties will be duly perfected to
the extent that the filing of a financing statement under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code as adopted in the State of Ohio is effective to perfect a security interest in such
Collateral.
No taxes or other charges, including, without limitation, intangible or documentary stamp
taxes, recording taxes, transfer taxes or similar charges, are payable to the State of Ohio or to
any jurisdiction therein on account of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION OF SPECIAL FCC COUNSEL
The FCC records reviewed by us reflect that (a) the FCC-authorized licensee or permittee for
each of the Station Licenses listed in Schedule III is the entity identified in Schedule III as the
licensee or permittee thereof; (b) each of the Station Licenses has the expiration date set forth
on Schedule III hereof; and (c) except as may be set forth on Schedule III, each of the Station
Licenses is currently in effect.
Except for those Station Licenses identified on Schedule III as construction permits, each
Station License authorizes the licensee thereof identified in Schedule III to operate a full
service radio broadcast station to serve the community of license identified in Schedule III for
each such Station License, subject to compliance with the terms of such Station License and the
Communications Laws.
The FCC has issued the Merger Consent, and the Merger Consent has become effective pursuant to
Section 1.103 of the FCC’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.103. To our knowledge, (i) no stay of the
effectiveness of the Merger Consent has been issued by the FCC and (ii) the Merger Consent has not
been invalidated by any subsequently published FCC action. With regard to the three enumerated
conditions in paragraph 40 of the Merger Consent, (a) the FCC has granted all necessary authority
for consummation of the assignment to the Aloha Station Trust, LLC of those radio broadcast
stations required to be so assigned under the first enumerated condition; (b) the FCC, by
Memorandum Opinion and Order. Shareholders of Univision Communications, Inc., FCC 08-48, released
February 12, 2008, modified the condition (the “Univision Order Condition”) imposed by its
Memorandum Opinion and Order: Shareholders of Univision Communications, Inc., 22 FCC Rcd. 5842
(2007), to provide that the restructuring of the interests of Xxxxxx X. Xxx Partners, L.P.
(“THLP”) in Broadcast Media Partners, Inc. (“BMPI”) to become non-attributable has
brought THLP and BMPI into compliance with the Univision Order Condition, as required by the second
enumerated condition; and (c) the FCC has granted all necessary authority for the transfer of
control of the radio broadcast stations held by Cumulus Media Partners, LLC (“CMP”) that
would result from the actions required to render the interests of Xxxx Capital, LLC and THLP in CMP
non-attributable, as required by the third enumerated
condition. We advise you that, to our knowledge, (x) no petition for reconsideration or review
of the Merger Consent has been filed, and (y) no action has been taken by the FCC to reverse or set
aside the Merger Consent. We further advise you that written notification to the FCC is required
upon consummation of the transactions authorized by the Merger Consent.
The execution, delivery, and performance on the date hereof by the Loan Parties of the Credit
Agreement and the other Reviewed Documents to which each is a party do not require any registration
with, any authorization, consent or approval by, or any notice to or filing with, the FCC and do
not violate the Communications Laws, except that: (a) the exercise of certain rights and remedies
by the Agent or the Lenders that constitute the assignment of any license, permit or
other
authorization issued by the FCC (“FCC Authorization”), or a transfer of control thereof,
including an assignment or transfer of any FCC Authorization upon the exercise by the Agent or the
Lenders of rights or remedies under the Reviewed Documents, may require the prior consent of the
FCC (and we express no opinion as to the likelihood of obtaining any such FCC consent), (b) if any
FCC Authorization is assigned or control thereof transferred, FCC policy may require that control
of the assets used in the operation of the facilities authorized by such FCC Authorization be
transferred or assigned along with such FCC Authorization, (c) written notification to the FCC is
required upon consummation of any assignment of an FCC Authorization or transfer of control thereof
previously approved by the FCC, and (d) Section 73.3613 of the FCC’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 73.3613,
may require that copies of certain of the Reviewed Documents be filed with the FCC for
informational purposes within thirty (30) days after their execution, and any documents required to
be so filed may also be required to be listed and described in ownership reports filed with the
FCC.

is defined differently in differing Articles of the Uniform Commercial Code, the definition of such
term contained in Article 9 shall govern; provided, further, that in the event that,
-6-
by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection,
publication or priority of, or remedies with respect to, Liens of any Party is governed by the
Uniform Commercial Code or foreign personal property security laws as enacted and in effect in a
jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the term “Uniform Commercial Code” or “UCC” will
mean the Uniform Commercial Code or such foreign personal property security laws as enacted and in
effect in such other jurisdiction solely for purposes of the provisions thereof relating to such
attachment, perfection, priority or remedies and for purposes of definitions related to such
provisions.

ARTICLE 2
LIEN PRIORITY
Section 2.1 Priority of Liens.
(a) Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner, or order of grant, attachment, or
perfection of any Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties in respect
of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral or of any Liens granted to the CF Collateral
Agent or any CF Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral,
and regardless of how any such Lien was acquired (whether by grant, statute, operation of law,
subrogation or otherwise), (ii) the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or
instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent
(or the ABL Secured Parties or the CF Secured Parties) on any Intercreditor Collateral, (iii) any
provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or of
any of the ABL Documents or any of the CF Documents, or (iv) whether the ABL Collateral Agent or
the CF Collateral Agent, in each case, either directly or through agents, holds possession of, or
has control over, all or any part of the Intercreditor Colla-
-7-
teral, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the CF
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself the CF Secured Parties, hereby agree that:
(1) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral now or
hereafter held by or on behalf of the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party that
secures all or any portion of the CF Obligations shall in all respects be junior and
subordinate to all Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties on
the Intercreditor Collateral; and
(2) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral now or
hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party that
secures all or any portion of the ABL Obligations shall in all respects be senior and prior
to all Liens granted to the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party on the Intercreditor
Collateral.
The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each applicable CF Secured Party,
expressly agrees that any Lien purported to be granted on any Intercreditor Collateral as security
for the ABL Obligations shall be deemed to be and shall be deemed to remain senior in all respects
and prior to all Liens on the Intercreditor Collateral securing any CF Obligations for all purposes
regardless of whether the Lien purported to be granted is found to be improperly granted,
improperly perfected, preferential, a fraudulent conveyance or legally or otherwise deficient in
any manner.
(b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties,
acknowledges and agrees that, concurrently herewith, the CF Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
itself and the CF Secured Parties, has been granted Liens upon all of the Intercreditor Collateral
in which the ABL Collateral Agent has been granted Liens and the ABL Collateral Agent hereby
consents thereto. The subordination of Liens by the CF Collateral Agent in favor of the ABL
Collateral Agent as set forth herein shall not be deemed to subordinate the Liens of the CF
Collateral Agent or the CF Secured Parties to Liens securing any other Obligations other than the
ABL Obligations.
Section 2.2 Waiver of Right to Contest Liens.
(a) The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees
that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge (or
assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether
or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority,
enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties
in respect of Intercreditor Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement. Except to the extent
expressly set forth in this Agreement, the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF
Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take any action that would interfere with any Exercise of
Secured Creditor Remedies undertaken by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party under the
ABL Documents with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral. Except to the extent expressly set
forth in this Agreement, the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured
Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it may have as a junior lien creditor or other-
-8-
wise to contest, protest, object to, or interfere with the manner in which the ABL Collateral
Agent or any ABL Secured Party seeks to enforce its Liens in any Intercreditor Collateral.
(b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees
that it and they shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge
(or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly,
whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority,
enforceability, or perfection of the respective Liens of the CF Collateral Agent or the CF Secured
Parties in respect of the Intercreditor Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2.3 Remedies Standstill.
(a) The CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that, from
the date hereof until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred,
neither the CF Collateral Agent nor any CF Secured Party will Exercise Any Secured Creditor
Remedies with respect to any Intercreditor Collateral without the prior written consent of the ABL
Collateral Agent, and will not take, receive or accept any Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral;
provided that, subject to Section 4.1(b), upon the occurrence of the CF Enforcement Date,
the CF Collateral Agent acting on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties may exercise such
remedies without such prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent. From and after the date
upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred (or prior thereto upon the
occurrence of the CF Enforcement Date), the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party may
Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the CF Documents or applicable law as to any
Intercreditor Collateral.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a) or any other provision of this Agreement,
nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
from (i) filing a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations or CF
Obligations owed to it in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor, (ii)
taking any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens of the other Collateral Agent or
other Secured Parties on the Intercreditor Collateral in which such other Collateral Agent or other
Secured Parties has a priority Lien or the rights of the other Collateral Agent or any of the other
Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or
protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any Intercreditor Collateral, (iii) filing any necessary or
responsive pleadings in opposition to any motion, adversary proceeding or other pleading filed by
any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking disallowance of the claim or Lien of such Collateral
Agent or Secured Party, (iv) filing any pleadings, objections, motions, or agreements which assert
rights available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under any Insolvency Proceeding or
applicable non-bankruptcy law, (v) voting on any plan of reorganization or filing any proof of
claim in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Grantor, or (vi) objecting to the proposed retention of
collateral by the other Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in full or partial satisfaction
of any ABL Obligations or CF Obligations due to the other Collateral Agent or such other Secured
Party, in each case (i) through (vi) above to the extent not inconsistent with, or could not result
in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of this Agreement.
-9-
(c) Subject to Section 2.3(b), (i) the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF
Secured Parties, agrees that neither it nor any CF Secured Party will take any action that would
hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties
with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or
other disposition of Intercreditor Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the CF
Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all
rights it or any such CF Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to
the manner in which the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect
the ABL Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the Intercreditor Collateral, regardless of
whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Secured
Parties is adverse to the interests of the CF Secured Parties.
(d) The CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, hereby
acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any CF Document
shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or the
ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and
the ABL Documents.
(e) Subject to Section 2.3(b), the CF Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF
Secured Parties, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, it
will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL
Collateral Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution,
levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Intercreditor
Collateral.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.3 shall not
apply to the CF Collateral Agent or the CF Secured Parties from and after the occurrence of the CF
Enforcement Date.
Section 2.4 Exercise of Rights.
(a) No Other Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 2.1(a),
Section 2.2(a), Section 2.3, Section 3.5 and Article 6 of this Agreement, the CF Collateral Agent
and each CF Secured Party may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor and as a
secured creditor with respect to the Non-Intercreditor Collateral against the Company or any
Subsidiary that has guaranteed the CF Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable CF
Documents and applicable laws. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the CF
Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as
such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the CF Collateral Agent or CF
Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Intercreditor Collateral or
enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien on the Intercreditor Collateral in
respect of CF Obligations held by any of them or in any Insolvency Proceeding. In the event the CF
Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in
respect of Intercreditor Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured
creditor in respect of CF Obligations or otherwise, such judgment or other Lien on Intercreditor
Collateral shall be subordinated to the Liens securing ABL Obligations on the same basis as the
other Liens securing the CF Obligations are so subordinated
-10-
to such Liens securing ABL Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement
impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL
Secured Parties may have with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral. Furthermore, subject to
Section 3.3 hereof, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any right
any CF Secured Party may have (secured or otherwise) in any property or asset of any Grantor that
does not constitute Intercreditor Collateral.
(b) Release of Liens.
If, at any time any Grantor or any ABL Secured Party delivers notice to the CF Collateral
Agent with respect to any specified Intercreditor Collateral that:
(A) such specified Intercreditor Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of (a “Disposition”) by the owner of such Intercreditor Collateral in a transaction
permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement and the CF Credit Agreement; or
(B) the ABL Secured Parties are releasing or have released their Liens on such
Intercreditor Collateral in connection with a Disposition in connection with an Exercise of
Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to such Intercreditor Collateral,
then the Liens upon such Intercreditor Collateral securing CF Obligations will automatically be
released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Intercreditor
Collateral securing ABL Obligations are released and discharged (provided that in the case
of clause (B) of this Section 2.4(b), the Liens on any Intercreditor Collateral disposed of in
connection with an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be automatically released but any
proceeds thereof not applied to repay ABL Obligations shall be subject to the respective Liens
securing CF Obligations and shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.1). Upon delivery to the CF
Collateral Agent of a notice from the ABL Collateral Agent stating that any such release of Liens
securing or supporting the ABL Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon the
CF Collateral Agent releasing its Liens on such Intercreditor Collateral), the CF Collateral Agent
shall, at the Company’s expense, promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases,
termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms, which
instruments, releases and termination statements shall be substantially identical to the comparable
instruments, releases and termination statements executed by the ABL Collateral Agent in connection
with such release. The CF Collateral Agent hereby appoints the ABL Collateral Agent and any
officer or duly authorized person of the ABL Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead
of the CF Collateral Agent and in the name of the CF Collateral Agent or in the ABL Collateral
Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the ABL Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, for the
purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including any financing statements, endorsements,
assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).
-11-
Section 2.5 No New Liens.
Until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, the parties
hereto agree that no CF Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any accounts receivable of
any Grantor, the proceeds thereof or any deposit or other accounts of any Grantor in which accounts
receivable or proceeds thereof are held or deposited, in each case of the type that would
constitute Intercreditor Collateral as described in the definition thereof, whether in the form of
accounts receivable or otherwise, securing any CF Obligation, if such accounts receivable or
proceeds are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent under the ABL Documents (and
subject to the Lien Priorities contemplated herein). If any CF Secured Party shall (nonetheless
and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any such accounts receivable or proceeds securing
any CF Obligation, which accounts receivable or proceeds are not also subject to the Lien of the
ABL Collateral Agent under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein, then
the CF Collateral Agent (or the applicable CF Secured Party) shall, without the need for any
further consent of any other CF Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
other CF Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the
benefit of the ABL Collateral Agent as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien
Priority and other terms hereof) and shall use its best efforts to promptly notify the ABL
Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien.
Section 2.6 Waiver of Marshalling.
Until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and
the CF Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any
marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under
applicable law with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral or any other similar rights a junior
secured creditor may have under applicable law.
ARTICLE 3
ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES
Section 3.1 Certain Actions Permitted. The CF Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent may
make such demands or file such claims in respect of the CF Obligations or the ABL Obligations, as
applicable, as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes
of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any time. Except as
provided in Section 5.2, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the CF Collateral
Agent or CF Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in
respect of the CF Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the
exercise by the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured
creditor with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral (including set-off with respect to the
Intercreditor Collateral) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any
of them on the Intercreditor Collateral.
Section 3.2 Agent for Perfection. The CF Collateral Agent appoints the ABL Collateral Agent, and
the ABL Collateral Agent expressly accepts such appointment, to act as agent of the CF Collateral
Agent and each CF Secured Party under each control agreement with respect
-12-
to all ABL Controlled Accounts for the purpose of perfecting the respective security interests
granted under the CF Security Documents. None of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party,
the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party, as applicable, shall have any obligation
whatsoever to the others to assure that the Intercreditor Collateral is genuine or owned by the
Company, any Grantor or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The
duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 3.2 are and shall be
limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Intercreditor Collateral as agent for the
CF Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting the respective Liens held by the CF Secured Parties.
The ABL Collateral Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the CF
Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party, or any other Person. The CF Collateral Agent is not and
shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for any other Agent or Secured Party, or any
other Person. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, in the event that the CF Collateral Agent
or CF Secured Party receives any Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral
in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then the CF Collateral Agent or such CF Secured Party,
as the case may be, shall promptly pay over such Proceeds or Intercreditor Collateral to the ABL
Collateral Agent in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, for application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement.
Section 3.3 Inspection and Access Rights.
Without limiting any rights the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Secured Party may
otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, in the event of any liquidation of any
Intercreditor Collateral (or any other Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Collateral
Agent) and whether or not the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party has commenced and is
continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies of any CF Secured Party, the ABL Collateral
Agent shall have the right (a) during normal business hours on any business day, to access
Intercreditor Collateral that is stored or located in or on Non-Intercreditor Collateral, and (b)
to reasonably use the Non-Intercreditor Collateral (including, without limitation, equipment,
computers, software, intellectual property, real property and books and records) in order to
inspect, copy or download information stored on, take actions to perfect its Lien on, or otherwise
deal with the Intercreditor Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or
interference by the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party and without liability to any CF Secured
Party; provided, however, if the CF Collateral Agent takes actual possession of any
Non-Intercreditor Collateral in contemplation of a sale of such Non-Intercreditor Collateral or is
otherwise exercising a remedy with respect to Non-Intercreditor Collateral, the Non-Intercreditor
Collateral Agent shall give the ABL Collateral Agent reasonable opportunity (of reasonable duration
and with reasonable advance notice) prior to the CF Collateral Agent’s sale of any such
Non-Intercreditor Collateral to access Intercreditor Collateral as contemplated in (a) and (b)
above. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.3 governs the rights of access and inspection as
between the ABL Secured Parties on the one hand and the CF Secured Parties on the other (and not as
between the Secured Parties and the Grantors, which rights are set forth in and governed by the
applicable Credit Documents and are not affected by this Section 3.3).
Section 3.4 Insurance. Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral include insurance
proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of insurance
proceeds to the extent such insurance insures Intercreditor Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of
-13-
ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the CF
Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by the ABL Documents and subject to the rights of the
Grantors thereunder, to adjust settlement of insurance claims to the extent such insurance insures
Intercreditor Collateral in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Intercreditor
Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, all proceeds of such insurance with respect
to Intercreditor Collateral shall be remitted for application in accordance Section 4.1 hereof.
Section 3.5 Exercise of Remedies – Set—Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The CF
Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the CF Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that,
to the extent the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party exercises its rights of set-off against
any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts to the extent constituting or containing
Intercreditor Collateral or proceeds thereof, the amount of such set-off shall be deemed to be
Intercreditor Collateral to be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1. In addition, unless
and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, the CF Collateral Agent and each CF Secured
Party hereby consents to the application, of cash or other proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral,
deposited under control agreements to the repayment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL
Documents.
ARTICLE 4
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
Section 4.1 Application of Proceeds.
(a) Revolving Nature of ABL Obligations. The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf
of itself and the CF Secured Parties, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the ABL Credit
Agreement includes a revolving commitment, that in the ordinary course of business the ABL
Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties will apply payments and make advances thereunder, and
that no application of any Intercreditor Collateral or the release of any Lien by the ABL
Collateral Agent upon any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral in connection with a permitted
disposition by the Grantors under the ABL Credit Agreement shall constitute an Exercise of Secured
Creditor Remedies under this Agreement; (ii) subject to the limitations set forth in Section
7.03(s) of the CF Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) or such additional amounts as
consented to by the Lenders under the CF Credit Agreement (in accordance with the provisions
thereof), the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to
time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL
Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount
of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or Refinanced, in each event, without notice to
or consent by the CF Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof; and (iii) all
Intercreditor Collateral received by the ABL Collateral Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied,
credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations at any time. The Lien
Priority shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification,
supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or
Refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or any CF Obligations, or any portion thereof.
-14-
(b) Application of Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral. The ABL Collateral Agent and
the CF Collateral Agent hereby agree that all Intercreditor Collateral and all Proceeds
thereof, received by any of them in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies
with respect to the Intercreditor Collateral shall be applied, first, to the payment of costs and
expenses of the ABL Collateral Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies,
and second, to the payment of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Documents until the
Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred.
(c) Payments Over. Any Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by the
CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
(including set-off or credit bid) or in any Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Intercreditor
Collateral prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations and not expressly permitted by this Agreement
shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the ABL
Collateral Agent (and/or its designees) for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties in the same form
as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct. The ABL Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for
the CF Collateral Agent and each CF Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable.
(d) Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured
creditor or otherwise, the ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the CF
Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party regarding the adequacy of any proceeds realized on any
collateral or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an action or omission that
breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, none of the Parties hereto waives any
claim that it may have against a Secured Party on the grounds that and sale, transfer or other
disposition by the Secured Party was not commercially reasonable in every respect as required by
the UCC.
(e) Turnover of Collateral after Discharge. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations,
the ABL Collateral Agent shall (a) notify the CF Collateral Agent in writing of the occurrence of
such Discharge of ABL Obligations and (b) at the Company’s expense, deliver to the CF Collateral
Agent or execute such documents as the CF Collateral Agent may reasonably request (including
assignment of control agreements with respect to ABL Controlled Accounts) in order to affect a
transfer of control to the CF Collateral Agent over any and all ABL Controlled Accounts in the same
form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct.
Section 4.2 Specific Performance. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent and the CF Collateral Agent is
hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not the Company or
any Grantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, at any
time when the other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to it. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL
Secured Parties, and the CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the CF Secured
Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might
be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

ARTICLE 5

reliance by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of this Agreement, and notice of the
existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of
the ABL Obligations. All CF Obligations at any time made or incurred by the Company or any Grantor
shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and the ABL
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, hereby waives notice of
acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the CF Collateral Agent or any such CF Secured Party of this
Agreement, and notice of the existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or
non-payment of all or any part of the CF Obligations.
(b) None of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party or any of their respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Intercreditor Collateral or any Proceeds thereof, or for any
delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to
the Intercreditor Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except as specifically provided in
this Agreement. If the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party honors (or fails to honor) a
request by any Borrower under the ABL Credit Agreement for an extension of credit pursuant to any
ABL Credit Agreement or any of the other ABL Documents, whether the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL
Secured Party has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would
constitute a default under the terms of any CF Document (but not a default under this Agreement) or
an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default, or if the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party otherwise should
exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under any ABL Documents (subject to the express
terms and conditions hereof), neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall have
any liability whatsoever to the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party as a result of such
action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and
provisions of this Agreement). The ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall be
entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under any ABL Credit
Agreement and any of the other ABL Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem
appropriate, and may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or
interests that the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party have in the Intercreditor
Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The CF Collateral Agent, on
behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any
ABL Secured Party shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application, or
other disposition of all or any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral or Proceeds thereof,
pursuant to the ABL Documents, so long as such disposition is conducted in accordance with
mandatory provisions of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this Agreement. The
CF Collateral Agent and the CF Secured Parties shall be en-
-16-
titled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under the CF Documents as
they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage their loans and extensions of
credit without regard to any rights or interests of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured
Parties, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Section 5.2 Modifications to ABL Documents and CF Documents.
(a) In the event that the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties enter into any
amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the ABL Security Documents for the
purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any
provisions of, any ABL Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Collateral
Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (excluding the release
of any Liens in Intercreditor Collateral except in accordance with Section 2.4(b)), then such
amendment, waiver or consent, to the extent related to Intercreditor Collateral, shall apply
automatically to any comparable provision (but only to the extent as such provision relates to
Intercreditor Collateral) of each Comparable CF Security Document without the consent of the CF
Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party and without any action by the CF Collateral Agent, CF Secured
Party, the Company or any other Grantor; provided, however, that such amendment,
waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the CF Secured Parties or the
interests of the CF Secured Parties in the Intercreditor Collateral in a manner materially
different from that affecting the rights of the ABL Secured Parties thereunder or therein. The ABL
Collateral Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent (along with a copy
thereof) to the CF Collateral Agent; provided, however, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment with respect to the provisions of
any CF Security Document as set forth in this Section 5.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, no such
amendment, modification or waiver shall apply to or otherwise affect (a) any Non-Intercreditor
Collateral or (b) any document, agreement or instrument which neither grants nor purports to xxxxx
x Xxxx on, nor governs nor purports to govern any rights or remedies in respect of, Intercreditor
Collateral.
(b) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, without the prior written
consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, the CF Collateral Agent shall not consent to amend, supplement
or otherwise modify any, or enter into any new, CF Security Document relating to Intercreditor
Collateral to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of such new CF
Security Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.
The CF Collateral Agent agrees that each CF Security Document relating to Intercreditor Collateral
shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the ABL Collateral
Agent):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security
interests granted to Citibank, N.A. pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise
of any right or remedy by Citibank, N.A. hereunder are subject to the limitations
and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of o, 2008
(as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Intercreditor Agreement”), among Citibank, N.A., as ABL Collateral
Agent, and Citibank, N.A., as CF Collateral Agent, certain other persons party or
that
-17-
may become party thereto from time to time, and consented to by the Grantors
identified therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
(c) The ABL Obligations and the several CF Obligations may be Refinanced, in whole or in part,
in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is required to
permit the refinancing transaction under any ABL Document or any CF Document) of the ABL Collateral
Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Parties, as the case may
be, provided such Refinancing does not affect the relative Lien Priorities provided for herein or
directly alter the other provisions hereof to the extent relating to the relative rights,
obligations and priorities of the ABL Secured Parties on the one hand and the CF Secured Parties on
the other.
Section 5.3 Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement.
If the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding
or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company, any Grantor, or any other
Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations (an “ABL
Recovery”), then the ABL Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such ABL Recovery.
If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be
reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination
shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties
from such date of reinstatement. The ABL Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to give written notice to the CF Collateral Agent of the occurrence of any such ABL
Recovery (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the ABL Collateral Agents
rights hereunder, except it being understood that the CF Collateral Agent shall not be charged with
knowledge of such ABL Recovery or required to take any actions based on such ABL Recovery until it
has received such written notice of the occurrence of such ABL Recovery).
All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent, the CF
Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties and the CF Secured Parties under this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any
discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against the
Company or any Grantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense (other
than a defense that such obligations have in-fact been repaid) available to, or a discharge of the
Company or any Grantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or the CF Obligations. No priority or
right of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party shall at any time be prejudiced or
impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any Grantor or by
the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL
Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured
Party may have.

ARTICLE 6
INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS
Section 6.1 DIP Financing.
(a) If the Company or any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time
prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties
shall seek to provide the Company or any Grantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any
financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash
collateral constituting Intercreditor Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a
“DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the
Intercreditor Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the
Bankruptcy Code would be Intercreditor Collateral) but not any other asset or any Non-Intercreditor
Collateral, then the CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees
that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of
cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate
protection” for the Liens of the CF Collateral Agent securing the CF Obligations or on any other
grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing or
use of cash collateral that is Intercreditor Collateral, except as permitted by Section 6.3(b)), so
long as (i) the CF Collateral Agent retains its Lien on the Intercreditor Collateral to secure the
CF Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case
under the Bankruptcy Code), (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing do not compel the applicable
Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially
all of the material terms of such plan are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or related
document; and (iii) all Liens on Intercreditor Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be
senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties
securing the ABL Obligations on Intercreditor Collateral; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the CF Collateral Agent or CF
Secured Party from raising any objection or supporting any objection to such DIP Financing or use
of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide
“adequate protection” for the Liens of the CF Collateral Agent on Non-Intercreditor Collateral
securing the CF Obligations.
(b) All Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent in any Insolvency
Proceeding on Intercreditor Collateral, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended
by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Relief from Stay. The CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured
Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency
Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Intercreditor Collateral without the ABL Collateral
Agent’s express written consent.
Section 6.3 No Contest; Adequate Protection.
(a) The CF Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured Parties, agrees that it
shall not contest (or support any other Person contesting) (x) any request by the
-19-
ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the
Intercreditor Collateral, (y) any objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party to
any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL
Secured Party that its interests in the Intercreditor Collateral are not adequately protected (or
any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any
Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to
this Agreement or (z) any lawful exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of
the right to credit bid ABL Obligations at any sale of Intercreditor Collateral or
Non-Intercreditor Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party from contesting or
challenging (or support any other Person contesting or challenging) any request by the ABL
Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for “adequate protection” (or the grant of any such
“adequate protection”) to the extent such “adequate protection” is in the form of a Lien on any
Non-Intercreditor Collateral.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency
Proceeding, if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with
respect to Intercreditor Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral
is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Intercreditor Collateral), then the ABL
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that the CF Collateral
Agent, on behalf of itself and/or any of the CF Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the ABL
Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in
such Intercreditor Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien
will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens
of the CF Collateral Agent on the Intercreditor Collateral (it being understood that to the extent
that any such additional collateral constituted Non-Intercreditor Collateral at the time it was
granted to the ABL Secured Parties, the Lien thereon in favor of the ABL Secured Parties shall be
subordinate in all respects to the Liens thereon in favor of the CF Secured Parties).
Section 6.4 Asset Sales. The CF Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the CF Secured
Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent of any
Intercreditor Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar
provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such
sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The CF Collateral Agent,
each CF Secured Party, each ABL Secured Party and the ABL Collateral Agent each acknowledge and
agree that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents on the one hand and the
CF Security Documents on the other hand constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and the CF
Secured Parties’ claims against the Company and/or any Grantor in respect of Intercreditor
Collateral constitute junior claims separate and apart (and of a different class) from the senior
claims of the ABL Secured Parties against the Company and the Grantors in respect of Intercreditor
Collateral and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Intercreditor
Collateral, the CF Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be
separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in
-20-
an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and any CF
Secured Parties in respect of the Intercreditor Collateral constitute only one secured claim
(rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties
and the CF Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions in respect of or
from the Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of
ABL Obligation claims and CF Obligation claims against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to
the extent that the aggregate value of the Intercreditor Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose
ignoring all claims held by the CF Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties shall be entitled to
receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest
and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest at the relevant contract
rate, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the CF Secured Parties from
such Intercreditor Collateral, with the CF Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to
turn over to the ABL Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them in respect of
or from the Proceeds of Intercreditor Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent
of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.
Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable
under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 6.7 ABL Obligations and CF Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements
and obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties, and the CF Collateral
Agent and the CF Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Documents or any CF Documents;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of,
all or any of the ABL Obligations or CF Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other
modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or
otherwise, of the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Document or of the
terms of the CF Credit Agreement or any other CF Document;
(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Intercreditor Collateral or any other
collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course
of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the ABL Obligations or CF Obligations or any
guarantee thereof;
(d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Company or any
other Grantor; or
(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than a
defense that such obligations have in-fact been repaid) available to, or a discharge of, the
Company or any other Grantor in respect of ABL Obligations or CF Obligations in respect of
this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. The CF Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the
CF Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured
Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL
Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral
Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the CF Collateral Agent or
CF Secured Party may reasonably request, at the Company’s expense, to evidence the transfer by
subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the
ABL Collateral Agent by such Person.
Section 7.2 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from
time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Party may reasonably request, in
order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the
ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any
payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to
in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal
requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy
or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent
jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this
Section 7.2.
Section 7.3 Representations. The CF Collateral Agent represents and warrants for itself to the ABL
Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the CF Documents to enter
into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the CF
Secured Parties and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of the CF Collateral Agent and
the CF Secured Parties, enforceable against the CF Collateral Agent and CF Secured Parties in
accordance with its terms. The ABL Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the CF Collateral
Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the ABL Documents to enter into, execute,
deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties
and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL
Secured Parties, enforceable against the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties in
accordance with its terms.
Section 7.4 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any
departure by any Party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by
the CF Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4
to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the Company, at
the Company’s expense, and without the consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party,
the CF Collateral Agent or any CF Secured Party to (i) provide for a replacement ABL Collateral
Agent in accordance with the ABL Documents (including for the avoidance of doubt to provide for a
replacement ABL Collateral Agent
-22-
assuming such role in connection with any Refinancing of the ABL Documents permitted
hereunder), provide for a replacement CF Collateral Agent in accordance with the applicable CF
Documents (including for the avoidance of doubt to provide for a replacement CF Collateral Agent
assuming such role in connection with any Refinancing of the CF Documents permitted hereunder)
and/or secure additional extensions of credit or add other parties holding ABL Obligations or CF
Obligations to the extent such Indebtedness does not expressly violate the ABL Credit Agreement or
the CF Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of such additional CF Obligations, (a) establish that
the Lien on the Intercreditor Collateral securing such CF Obligations shall be junior and
subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Intercreditor Collateral securing any ABL
Obligations (at least to the same extent as (taken together as a whole) the Liens on Intercreditor
Collateral in favor of the CF Obligations are junior and subordinate to the Liens on Intercreditor
Collateral in favor of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Agreement immediately prior to the
incurrence of such additional CF Obligations) and (b) provide to the holders of such CF Obligations
(or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights
and benefits that have been consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent) as are provided to the CF
Secured Parties under this Agreement.
Section 7.5 Addresses for Notices. All notices to the ABL Secured Parties and the CF Secured
Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the applicable Collateral Agent
for such Secured Party, respectively, as provided in the applicable Credit Document. Unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or
permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied, electronically
mailed or sent by courier service or U.S. mail and shall be deemed to have been given when
delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a telecopy or electronic mail or upon
receipt via U.S. mail (registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed).
Section 7.6 No Waiver, Remedies. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.
Section 7.7 Continuing Agreement, Transfer of Secured Obligations. This Agreement is a continuing
agreement and shall (a) subject to Section 5.3, remain in full force and effect until the Discharge
of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, (b) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and
assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective
successors, transferees and assigns. Nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give,
any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any
Intercreditor Collateral. All references to any Grantor shall include any Grantor as
debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor in any Insolvency Proceeding.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL
Secured Party, the CF Collateral Agent and any CF Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or the CF Obligations, as applicable, to any other Person
(other than the Company, any Grantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Grantor and any
Subsidiary of the Company or any Grantor), and such other Person shall
-23-
thereupon become vested with all the rights and obligations in respect thereof granted to the
ABL Collateral Agent, the CF Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, or any applicable CF Secured
Party, as the case may be, herein or otherwise. The ABL Secured Parties and the CF Secured Parties
may continue, at any time and without notice to the other parties hereto, to extend credit and
other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide Indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, any
Grantor on the faith hereof.
Section 7.8 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. The validity, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements, written or oral, with
respect thereto.
Section 7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by
means of facsimile or “pdf” file thereof, and it is not necessary that the signatures of all
Parties be contained on any one counterpart hereof, each counterpart will be deemed to be an
original, and all together shall constitute one and the same document.
Section 7.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the ABL
Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the CF Collateral Agent and the CF Secured Parties. No
other Person (including the Company, any Grantor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company or
any Grantor) shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
Section 7.11 Headings. The headings of the articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted for
purposes of convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning or construction of
any of the provisions hereof.
Section 7.12 Severability. If any of the provisions in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and shall not invalidate the Lien Priority
or the application of Proceeds and other priorities set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.13 Attorneys’ Fees. The Parties agree that if any dispute, arbitration, litigation, or
other proceeding is brought with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement or any provision
hereof, the prevailing party in such dispute, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding shall be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in the
enforcement of this Agreement, irrespective of whether suit is brought.
Section 7.14 VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction of any state
or federal court located in New York, New York, and consent that all service of process may be made
by registered mail directed to such party as provided in Section 7.5 for such party. Service so
made shall be deemed to be completed three days after the same shall be posted as aforesaid. The
parties hereto waive any objection to any action instituted hereunder in any such court based on
forum non conveniens, and any objection to the venue of any action instituted hereunder in any such
court. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
-24-
BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY
COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.
(a) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER
PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 7.5. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY
TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
Section 7.15 Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement is the Intercreditor Agreement referred to in
the ABL Documents and the CF Documents. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to subordinate
the obligations due to (i) any ABL Secured Party to the obligations due to any CF Secured Party or
(ii) any CF Secured Party to the obligations due to any ABL Secured Party (in each case, whether
before or after the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding), it being the intent of the Parties
that this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens on Intercreditor Collateral but not a
subordination of Indebtedness.
Section 7.16 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by
the parties hereto. This Agreement shall be effective both before and after the commencement of
any Insolvency Proceeding.
Section 7.17 Collateral Agents. It is understood and agreed that (a) Citibank is entering into
this Agreement in its capacity as collateral agent under the ABL Credit Agreement, and the
provisions of Article IX of the ABL Credit Agreement applicable to the administrative agent and
collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to the ABL Collateral Agent hereunder, and (b)
Citibank is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as collateral agent under the CF Credit
Agreement, and the provisions of Article IX of the CF Credit Agreement applicable to the
administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder shall also apply to the CF Collateral Agent
hereunder.
Section 7.18 No Warranties or Liability. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent and the CF Collateral
Agent acknowledges and agrees that none of the other has made any representation or warranty with
respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any
other ABL Document or CF Document, as the case may be.
Section 7.19 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of any Credit Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
Section 7.20 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Credit Parties. Each of the CF
Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent hereby assume responsibility for keeping itself
informed of the financial condition of the Grantors and all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the CF Obligations. The ABL Collateral Agent and the
CF Collateral Agent each hereby agrees that no party shall have any duty to advise any other party
of information known to it regarding such condition or any such
-25-
circumstances. In the event either the ABL Collateral Agent or the CF Collateral Agent, in
its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any
other party to this Agreement, (a) it shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any such
information to any other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any
investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (iii) to disclose any other
information, or (b) it makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any such
information and shall not be liable for any information contained therein, and (c) the Party
receiving such information hereby agrees to hold the other Party harmless from any action the
receiving Party may take or conclusion the receiving Party may reach or draw from any such
information, as well as from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and
expenses to which such receiving Party may become subject arising out of or in connection with the
use of such information.
Section 7.21 Acknowledgement. The ABL Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges for itself and on
behalf of each ABL Secured Party that there are assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries
(including Grantors) which are subject to Liens in favor of the CF Collateral Agent or other
creditors but which do not constitute Intercreditor Collateral and nothing in this Agreement shall
grant or imply the grant of any Lien or other security interest in such assets in favor of the ABL
Collateral Agent to secure any ABL Obligations and nothing in this Agreement shall affect or limit
the rights of the CF Collateral Agent or CF Secured Party in any Non-Intercreditor Collateral or
any other assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Intercreditor Collateral)
securing any CF Obligations.

Dated: [ ], 2008
Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Citibank,
N.A., as ABL Collateral Agent and Citibank, N.A., as CF Collateral Agent, as the same may be

by the requirements expressly applicable to it under the foregoing Intercreditor Agreement and

Exhibit K
[FORM OF]
LOSS SHARING AGREEMENT
This LOSS SHARING AGREEMENT is dated as of [ ], 2008 (this “Agreement”), and
entered into by and between Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders
(as defined below) (including its successors and assigns from time to time, the “Administrative
Agent”) and the Lenders from time to time party to the Credit Agreement dated as of May o,
2008 (as amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among BT TRIPLE CROWN MERGER CO., INC., to be
merged with and into Clear Channel Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Parent
Borrower”), the Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time party thereto (the Parent Borrower
together with the Subsidiary Borrowers, the “Borrowers”), Clear Channel Capital I, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), the Administrative Agent, and each lender
from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have
the meanings given such terms by the Credit Agreement.
The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers and the L/C Issuers have each agreed to
issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Lenders and each of the
L/C Issuers are providing the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement in
reliance upon each other Lender and the Administrative Agent entering into this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1 — Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
“CAM” shall mean the mechanism for the allocation and exchange of interests in the Loans,
participations in Letters of Credit and collections thereunder established under Section 2 of this
Agreement.
“CAM Exchange” means the exchange of the Lenders’ interests provided for in Section 2 of this
Agreement.
“CAM Exchange Date” shall mean the date on which there shall occur (a) any Event of Default
referred to in Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Parent Borrower or (b)
an acceleration of Loans and termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to
Article VIII of the Credit Agreement.
“CAM Percentage” shall mean, as to each Lender, a fraction, expressed as a decimal, of which
(a) the numerator shall be the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Obligations described in clause (x)
of the definition thereof (“Designated Obligations”) owed to such Lender (whether or not at
the time due and payable) immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and (b) the denominator shall
be the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations owed to all the
Lenders (whether or not at the time due and payable) immediately prior to the CAM Exchange
Date.
Section 2 — CAM Exchange.
(a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically
and without further act be terminated in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Credit
Agreement and (ii) the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have
exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that, in lieu of the interests of
each Lender in the Designated Obligations, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such
Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Designated Obligations and (iii) simultaneously with the
deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, the interests in the Designated
Obligations to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further
action required, be converted into the Dollar Amount, determined using the Spot Rate
calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing
and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be
payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender, each
person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each of the Lenders agrees
from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory
notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders
after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory
notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans under the Credit Agreement to
the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered;
provided that the failure of any Lender to execute, deliver or accept any such
promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of
the CAM Exchange.
(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment
received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the
Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their
respective CAM Percentages (to be redetermined as of each such date of payment or
distribution to the extent required by clause (c) below).
(c) In the event that, on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the
Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a
Letter of Credit by any L/C Issuer that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower then
(i) each Appropriate Lender shall, in accordance with Section 2.03(c) of the Credit
Agreement, promptly pay its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount (without giving effect
to the CAM Exchange) to the applicable L/C Issuer, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall
redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving effect to such disbursement and the making of
such advances by the Appropriate Lenders and the Lenders shall automatically and without
further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that
each Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Designated
Obligations (and the interests in the Designated Obligations to be received in such deemed
exchange shall, automatically and
2
with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Amount of such amount in
accordance with clause (a) above), and (iii) in the event distributions shall have been made
in respect of the Designated Obligations following the CAM Exchange Date as contemplated by
clause (b) above, the Lenders shall make such payments to one another as shall be necessary
in order that the amounts received by them shall be equal to the amounts they would have
received had each such disbursement and payment by such Appropriate Lender in respect of
such unreimbursed payment been outstanding on the CAM Exchange Date. Each such
redetermination shall be binding on each of the Lenders and their successors and assigns and
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section 3 — Miscellaneous
(a) Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall
be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that (i) any amendment or
waiver that disproportionately and adversely affects any one or more individual Lenders shall
require the written consent of each such Lender and (ii) any amendment or waiver that
disproportionately and adversely affects any Class of Lenders (either before or after the CAM
Exchange) shall require the written consent of each Lender of such Class (before or after the CAM
Exchange, as the case may be).
(b) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. For
the avoidance of doubt, each Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof pursuant to Section
10.07 of the Credit Agreement or that becomes a Lender pursuant to any joinder agreement shall be a
party and subject to this Agreement as if an original signatory hereto.
(c) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating
to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
3
(e) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(f) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, 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 IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES
THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW
YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE
CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER
MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.
(g) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY
COURT REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (f) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO
THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(h) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED

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 (WHETHER BASED ON

WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
