All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP in effect from time to time. The parties hereto agree, however, that in the event that any change in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of Viacom’s combined financial statements (presented on a carve-out basis) contained in the Form S-4 is, after the Closing Date, occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements, opinions and statements by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or Accounting Principles Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and such change materially affects the calculation of any component of the Financial Covenant or any standard or term contained in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and Viacom shall negotiate in good faith to amend such Financial Covenant, standards or terms found in this Agreement (other than in respect of financial statements to be delivered hereunder) so that, upon adoption of such changes, the criteria for evaluation of Viacom’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such change as if such change had not been made; provided, however, that (i) any such amendments shall not become effective for purposes of this Agreement unless approved by the Required Lenders and (ii) if Viacom and the Required Lenders cannot agree on such an amendment, then the calculations under such Financial Covenant, standards or terms shall continue to be computed without giving effect to such change in accounting principles.

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

Test Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the incurrence or assumption of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) as if such Material Acquisition (and the incurrence or assumption of any such Indebtedness) occurred on the first day of such Test Period; and (iii) if during such Pro Forma Period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged with or into Viacom or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such Pro Forma Period shall have entered into any disposition or acquisition transaction that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above if made by Viacom or a Subsidiary during such Pro Forma Period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Test Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of such Test Period. For the purposes of this paragraph, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Material Disposition or Material Acquisition, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness discharged or incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a Financial Officer of Viacom. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and the incurrence or assumption thereof is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the last day of the relevant Pro Forma Period had been the applicable rate for the entire relevant Test Period (taking into account any interest rate protection agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such interest rate protection agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Comparable adjustments shall be made in connection with any determination of Consolidated EBITDA.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the Closing Date any change in applicable law or regulation (including any change in the reserve percentages provided for in Regulation D) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office (or in which it holds any Eurocurrency Loan) or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein and other than taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of such Lender to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of or deposits with or for the account of such Lender, or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurocurrency Loan made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Eurocurrency Loan by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the relevant Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender as provided in paragraph (c) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the Closing Date of any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the relevant Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender as provided in paragraph (c) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and the basis therefor in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The relevant Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Except as provided in this paragraph, failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to any other period. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed so long as it shall be customary for Lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. No Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.12 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have notified the relevant Borrower that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above not more than 90 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have become aware of such costs or reductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.12, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any. In the event any Borrower shall reimburse any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any cost and such Lender shall subsequently receive a refund in respect thereof, such Lender shall so notify such Borrower and, upon its request, will pay to such Borrower the portion of such refund which such Lender shall determine in good faith to be allocable to the cost so reimbursed. The covenants contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 2.13. Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense described below which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower to fulfill on the date of any borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, continuation or conversion has been given or deemed given pursuant to Article II, (c) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan made to such Borrower required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made, whatever the circumstances may be that give rise to such payment, prepayment or conversion, or any transfer of any such Loan pursuant to Section 2.18 or 9.4(b), on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (d) if any breakage is incurred, any failure by a Borrower to prepay a Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in a notice of prepayment; provided, that any request for indemnification made by any Lender to any Borrower pursuant hereto shall be accompanied by such Lender’s calculation of such amount to be indemnified. The loss or expense for which such Lender shall be indemnified under this Section 2.13 shall be equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed, continued, prepaid or converted (assumed to be the Eurocurrency Rate in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion or failure to borrow, continue, prepay or convert to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, continue, prepay or convert, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed, continued, prepaid or converted for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be; provided, however, that such amount shall not include any loss of a Lender’s margin or spread over its cost of obtaining funds as described above. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 (with calculations in reasonable detail) shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 2.14. Pro Rata Treatment; Funding Matters; Evidence of Debt. (a) Except as required under Section 2.18, (i) each payment or prepayment of principal of any Tranche A Loan, each payment of interest on the Tranche A Loans and each reduction of the Tranche A Commitments, shall be allocated pro rata among the Tranche A Lenders in accordance with their respective Tranche A Commitments (or, if such Tranche A Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Tranche A Loans), and (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of any

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

Tranche B Loan, each payment of interest on the Tranche B Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees and Utilization Fees, and each reduction of the Tranche B Commitments, shall be allocated pro rata among the Tranche B Lenders in accordance with their respective Tranche B Commitments (or, if such Tranche B Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Tranche B Loans). In addition, any amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or on behalf of Viacom following the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article VI, or for which Viacom has not otherwise specified the application thereof, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent, (A) first, to pay all accrued and unpaid interest and Fees hereunder, and (B) second, pro rata to repay the outstanding principal amount of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Loan to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round such Lender’s percentage of such Loan to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the relevant borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of a borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing in accordance with this Agreement and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the relevant Borrower 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 relevant Loan and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such borrowing for the purposes of this Agreement; provided, that such repayment shall not release such Lender from any liability it may have to such Borrower for the failure to make such Loan at the time required herein.

(c) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

(d) Each Lender may at its option make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Lender Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by it from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Borrower with

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

respect to each Loan, the Type of each Loan and each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(f) In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed, by its execution and delivery of a Subsidiary Borrower Request, to have appointed Viacom to act as agent on behalf of such Subsidiary Borrower for the purpose of (i) giving any notices contemplated to be given by such Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, borrowing notices, prepayment notices, continuation notices and conversion notices and (ii) paying on behalf of such Subsidiary Borrower any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations owing by such Subsidiary Borrower; provided, that each Subsidiary Borrower shall retain the right, in its discretion, to directly give any or all of such notices or make any or all of such payments.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders upon receipt of any Subsidiary Borrower Designation and Subsidiary Borrower Request.

SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Setoffs. Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as the case may be, each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (other than pursuant to any provision of this Agreement), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any category of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of such Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of such Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of such Loans of each Lender prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all such Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest. Any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

any and all moneys owing by any Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.16. Payments. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and shall make each such payment not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Citibank, N.A., 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, in immediately available funds.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by each Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto imposed by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) such Agent or such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The relevant Borrower agrees to pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The relevant Borrower will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by the applicable jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be made within 30

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

days after the date such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(d) Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Borrower, within 30 days thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof (or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.17 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder and of all other amounts payable hereunder.

(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (such Lender (or Transferee), a “Non-U.S. Person”) shall deliver to Viacom and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Person, claiming an exemption with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, delivers a Form W-8BEN, an annual certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Person is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of Viacom and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Viacom (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Person claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by any Borrower under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Person promptly after it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any participant, promptly after the date such participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Person shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Person. Each Non-U.S. Person shall promptly notify Viacom at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Viacom (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Unless Viacom and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments of interest to or for any Lender (or Transferee) that is a Non-U.S. Person. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(f), a Non-U.S. Person shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.17(f) that such Non-U.S. Person is not legally able to deliver by reason of the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change in any law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation thereof, in each case occurring after the date such Non-U.S. Person becomes a Lender (or Transferee).

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

(g) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(h) No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amounts to any Agent or Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above (i) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Agent or Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (f) or (g) above or (ii) in the case of a Transferee, to the extent such additional amounts exceed the additional amounts that would have been payable had no transfer or assignment to such Transferee occurred; provided, however, that each Borrower shall be required to pay those amounts to any Agent or Lender (or Transferee) that it was required to pay hereunder prior to the failure of such Agent or Lender (or Transferee) to comply with the provisions of such paragraph (f) or (g).

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by any Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee).

(b) In the event that (x) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12, (y) any Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.17, or (z) any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall withhold its consent to any amendment described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.8(b) as to which consents have been obtained from Lenders having Total Facility Percentages aggregating at least 90%, Viacom shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender (or Lenders) and the Administrative Agent, (i) to terminate the Tranche B Commitments of such Lender (except in the case of clause (z) above) or (ii) to require such Lender (or, in the case of clause (z) above, each Non-Consenting Lender) to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more other financial institutions acceptable to Viacom (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Administrative Agent, which approval in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, which shall assume such obligations; provided, that (w) in the case of any replacement of Non-Consenting Lenders, each assignee shall have consented to the relevant amendment, (x) no such termination or assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (y) the Borrowers or the assignee (or assignees), as the case may be, shall pay to each affected Lender in immediately available funds

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

on the date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder and (z) Viacom may not terminate Tranche B Commitments representing more than 10% of the original aggregate Tranche B Commitments pursuant to this paragraph (b).

The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or other instruments or agreements. None of the Agents or the Borrowers shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no provision in the Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing to any Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, by any party hereto.

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

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Subsidiary Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, and Viacom further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or by the Lenders in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any of their rights under the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1(a). The guarantee contained in this Section 8.1(a), subject to Section 8.1(e), shall remain in full force and effect until the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto any Subsidiary Borrower may be free from any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations. Viacom agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability under this Section 8.1, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1 for such purpose. No payment or payments made by any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Viacom under this Section 8.1 which, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, shall remain liable for the unpaid and outstanding Subsidiary Borrower Obligations until, subject to Section 8.1(e), the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the maximum liability of Viacom under this Section 8.1 shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by Viacom under applicable law.

(b) No Subrogation, etc. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by Viacom hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of Viacom by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, Viacom shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Subsidiary Borrower or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, nor shall Viacom seek or be entitled to seek any contribution, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnity from or against any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of payments made by Viacom hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Subsidiary Borrowers on account of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. So long as the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations remain outstanding, if any amount shall be paid by or on behalf of any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person to Viacom on account of any of the rights waived in this Section 8.1, such amount shall be held by Viacom in trust, segregated from other funds of Viacom, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Viacom, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by Viacom (duly indorsed by Viacom to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

(c) Amendments, etc. with respect to the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations. Viacom shall remain obligated under this Section 8.1 notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Viacom, and without notice to or further assent by Viacom, any

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

demand for payment of or reduction in the principal amount of any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations continued, and the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and this Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Required Lenders (or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1 or any property subject thereto.

(d) Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Viacom waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1; the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1; and all dealings between Viacom or the Subsidiary Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1. Viacom waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Viacom or any Subsidiary Borrower with respect to the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations. The guarantee contained in this Section 8.1 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) the legality under applicable requirements of law of repayment by the relevant Subsidiary Borrower of any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or the adoption of any requirement of law purporting to render any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations null and void, (c) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance by the applicable Subsidiary Borrower) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Viacom against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Viacom or any Subsidiary Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Subsidiary Borrower for any of its Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or of Viacom under the guarantee contained in this Section 8.1, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When the Administrative Agent or any Lender is pursuing its rights and remedies under this Section 8.1 against Viacom, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

the Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Viacom of any liability under this Section 8.1, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against Viacom.

(e) Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 8.1 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 Subsidiary Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Subsidiary Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Subsidiary Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

(f) Payments. Viacom hereby agrees that any payments in respect of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Section 8.1 will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or counterclaim in Dollars at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.1.

preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information. A copy of each such Confidentiality Agreement executed by an assignee shall be promptly furnished to Viacom.

In order to facilitate any such assignment, each Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a registered promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to such Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder.

The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the applicable Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This section may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC which has been identified as such by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Borrower and which then holds any Loan pursuant to this paragraph (i).

(j) Neither Viacom nor any Subsidiary Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior consent of all the Lenders; provided, Viacom may assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder (excepting its rights and duties

pursuant to Section 8.1) to any Subsidiary Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower may assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder to Viacom or to any other Subsidiary Borrower, in each case without the prior consent of the Lenders unless such assignment would adversely affect the Lenders; provided, further, Viacom may and any Subsidiary Borrower may assign or delegate any of its rights and duties hereunder pursuant to a merger or consolidation permitted by Section 5.4(a) or (c) without the prior consent of the Lenders.

No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (provided, that the foregoing will not apply to any Losses to the extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person).

SECTION 9.8. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower from any such provision shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10.

SECTION 9.11. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 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 9.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.3.

SECTION 9.13. 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 9.14. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all

claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Subsidiary Borrower designates and directs Viacom at its offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its agent to receive service of any and all process and documents on its behalf in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 9.14 in the State of New York and agrees that service upon such agent shall constitute valid and effective service upon such Subsidiary Borrower and that failure of Viacom to give any notice of such service to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not affect or impair in any way the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Borrower or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. 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 9.15. Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose (and to cause its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential and not to disclose) and, at the request of Viacom (except as provided below or if such Lender is required to retain any Confidential Information (as defined below) pursuant to customary internal or banking practices, bank regulations or applicable law), promptly to return to Viacom or destroy the Confidential Information and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon, except that such Lender shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information (i) to such of its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives as need to know such Confidential Information in connection with such Lender’s participation in this Agreement, each of whom shall be informed by such Lender of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 9.15; (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process or requested by any Governmental Authority or agency having jurisdiction over such Lender or any affiliate of such Lender; provided, however, that, except in the case of disclosure to bank regulators or examiners in accordance with customary banking practices, if legally permitted written notice of each instance in which Confidential Information is required or requested to be disclosed shall be furnished to Viacom not less than 30 days prior to the expected date of such disclosure or, if 30 days’ notice is not practicable under the circumstances, as promptly as practicable under the circumstances; (iii) to the extent such Confidential Information (A) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (B) becomes available to such Lender on a non-

NY nv-6billion -credit.htm i

confidential basis from a source other than a party to this Agreement or any other party known to such Lender to be bound by an agreement containing a provision similar to this Section 9.15 or (C) was available to such Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to this disclosure to such Lender by a party to this Agreement or any other party known to such Lender to be bound by an agreement containing a provision similar to this Section 9.15; (iv) as permitted by Section 9.4(g); or (v) to the extent Viacom shall have consented to such disclosure in writing. As used in this Section 9.15, “Confidential Information” shall mean any materials, documents or information furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with this Agreement designated by or on behalf of such Borrower as confidential.

(b) Each Lender (i) agrees that, except to the extent the conditions referred to in subclause (A), (B) or (C) of clause (iii) of paragraph (a) above have been met and as provided in paragraph (c) below, (A) it will use the Confidential Information only in connection with its participation in this Agreement and (B) it will not use the Confidential Information in connection with any other matter or in a manner prohibited by any law, including, without limitation, the securities laws of the United States and (ii) understands that breach of this Section 9.15 might seriously prejudice the interest of the Borrowers and that the Borrowers are entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction, in the event of such breach.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.15, each Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to retain all Confidential Information for so long as it remains an Agent or a Lender to use solely for the purposes of servicing the credit and protecting its rights hereunder.

SECTION 9.16. Waiver of Notice of Termination Period. By its execution of this Agreement, each Lender hereby waives any right to notice of termination, or any notice period with respect to the termination, of any Existing Credit Agreement that such Lender may have had under such Existing Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9.17. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.
