(b)Β Letter
of Credit Facility.Β (i)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees
to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers (each, an "L/C")
or to
purchase participations or execute indemnities, guarantees or reimbursement
obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C
Undertaking")
with
respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing
Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer will be Xxxxx Fargo) for the account
of
Borrowers. If at the time any L/C is issued, (A) the Issuer waives any
conditions precedent to such L/C; or (B) a Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Issuer shall get the Administrative Agent's consent to such
L/C
prior to issuing such L/C. To request the issuance of an L/C or an L/C
Undertaking (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C
or
L/C Undertaking), the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers,
shall
hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the
Issuing Lender and Collateral Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested
date
of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance
of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the L/C or L/C Undertaking to
be
amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or
extension, the date on which such L/C or L/C Undertaking is to expire, the

L/C
or L/C Undertaking. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers also
shall
be applicants under the application with respect to any Underlying Letter of
Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The Issuing Lender
shall
have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would
result after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit:
Β
(A)Β the
Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the amount by which the lesser of (v) the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (w)Β forty-five percent (45%) of
the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations, exceeds the amount of
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the amount of outstanding Term Loans,
or
Β
(B)Β the
Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $500,000.
Β
Borrowers
and the Revolving Credit Lenders acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying
Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that already are
outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding
Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its discretion), including the requirement
that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing
Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers
immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying
to
Collateral Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 11:00
a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if
Borrowers shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C
Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by Borrowers prior to such time on such date,
then
not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on (i) the Business Day that
Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m.,
California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such
reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be
deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the
rate then applicable to Loans under Section
2.02.
To the
extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers'
obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced
by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Collateral Agent of
any
payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Collateral Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Revolving
Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section
2.01(b)(v)
to
reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and the
Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

Β
(ii)Β Promptly
following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section
2.01(b)(i),
each
Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment agrees to fund its
Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection
on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested such Advance
and
Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received
by
it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit
(or
an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without
any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit
Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed
to
have granted and assigned to each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving
Credit Commitment, and each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased and assumed, a participation in
each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk
Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Revolving Credit
Lender agrees to pay to Collateral Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender,
such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the
Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance
of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit
Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Collateral
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender's
Pro
Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not
reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (i) of this
Section
2.01(a),
or of
any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason.
Each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment acknowledges
and
agrees that its obligation to deliver to Collateral Agent, for the account
of
the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share pursuant
to
this Section
2.01(b)(ii)
shall be
absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding
the
occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure
to
satisfy any condition set forth in Section
3
hereof.
If any such Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to Collateral Agent
the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments
made
by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this
Section, Collateral Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid in full,
or
if not paid in full within three (3) Business Days, then at the Base Rate until
paid in full.
(iii)Β Each
Borrower hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify, save, defend, and
hold the Revolving Credit Lenders harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or
liability, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Revolving Credit
Lenders arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided,
however,
that no
Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense,
or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the
Issuing Lender or any other Lender. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the
Underlying Issuer's regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter
of
Credit or by Issuing Lender's interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing
Lender to or for such Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may
be
different from such Borrower's own, and each Borrower understands and agrees
that the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be liable for any error, negligence,
or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers'
instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications,
amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C
Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer
for
certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such
Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to jointly and severally
indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Revolving Credit Lenders harmless with
respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or
liability incurred by the Revolving Credit Lenders under any L/C Undertaking
as
a result of the Revolving Credit Lenders' indemnification of any Underlying
Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to
indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other Revolving
Credit Lender.

Β
(iv)Β Each
Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to
the
Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property
received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit
and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender's instructions with respect
to
all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and
the
related application.
(v)Β Any

all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender
relating to Underlying Letters of Credit immediately shall be reimbursable

Borrowers to Collateral Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being
acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the
issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum
times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance
charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also
imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and

Β
(B)Β there
shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders any
other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of
Credit issued pursuant hereto;
Β
and
the
result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to
the
Lenders of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit
or
to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Revolving Credit
Lenders, then, and in any such case, Collateral Agent may, at any time within
a
reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received
is reduced, notify Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall pay on demand
such amounts as Collateral Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate
the
Revolving Credit Lenders for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together
with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in
full
thereof at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans hereunder. The
determination by Collateral Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section,

Loan for a one-month LIBOR Interest Period on the last day of the applicable
Interest Period. Upon the last day of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Loan
will, subject to the provisions hereof, be so Continued, Converted or repaid,

installment of interest is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date,
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to Billing Agent for the
account of Lenders holding the delinquent interest obligations, a late and
handling charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of such overdue
installment.
Β
(iii)Β Nothing
in this Section
2.02(e)
shall
affect the rights of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders to
exercise any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law
arising upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
Β
(f)Β Interest
Calculations.
Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year counting the actual number of days elapsed.
Β
(g)Β Intent
Not to Violate Usury Laws.
(i) All
agreements between or among Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent,
Billing Agent and any Lender(s) are hereby expressly limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity
of the indebtedness or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid
for
the use or forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, the
Notes or any other Loan Document exceed the maximum amount which any Lender
is
permitted to receive under applicable law. If, from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any
other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due,
shall involve exceeding such amount, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall
automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any
circumstances, any Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which would
exceed such maximum amount, such amount which would be excessive interest shall
be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not
to
the payment of interest. As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean
the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided,
however,
that in
the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible
rate of interest, then this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents
shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. This provision
shall
control every other provision of all agreements between or among Borrowers,
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Billing Agent and any
Lender.

(ii)Β SPLenders
and Borrowers intend that the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans qualify
for
the exemption set forth in SectionΒ 25118(b) of the California Corporations
Code to California's usury provisions. In this regard, each of SPLenders and
each of Borrowers hereby represents, warrants and agrees as
follows:
Β
(A)Β the
Loans
made to Borrowers by SPLenders pursuant to SectionΒ 2.01(a)
and
(c),
respectively, constitute a single coordinated loan made to Borrowers by
SPLenders;
Β
(B)Β the

(c)
are
conditioned upon all the Borrowers' participation in the Term Loans and
Revolving Credit Loans; and
Β
(C)Β each
of
Borrowers and SPLenders, by reason of its business and financial experience,
has
the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the Term Loans
and
Revolving Credit Loans.
Β
(iii)Β The
Lenders and the Borrowers also intend that the Loans qualify for the exemption
set forth in Section 3707 of the California Financial Code to California's
usury
provisions. In this regard, each of the Lenders and each of the Borrowers hereby
acknowledges and agrees that each of the Loans was "arranged by" the Collateral
Agent, as the term "arranged by" is used in Section 3707 of the California
Financial Code.

Β
(ii)Β Borrowers
hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally promise to pay to Billing Agent

unpaid principal balance of such Term Loan Lender's Term Loans.
Β
(b)Β In
addition, in connection with any reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments, or at any other time that the aggregate outstanding and unpaid
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Letter of Credit Usage
exceeds the then applicable Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrowers
hereby jointly and severally promise to repay the Revolving Credit Loans in
an
aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, at the time that the sum
of
(x) the aggregate outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans,
(y) the then outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit
Loans, and (z) the Letter of Credit Usage, shall exceed forty-five percent
(45%)
of the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations, Borrowers hereby jointly
and
severally promise to repay the Revolving Credit Loans (or, if the Revolving
Credit Loans have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments
terminated, to repay the Term Loans) in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess.
Β
(c)Β If

Upon at
least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to Billing Agent in the
form

signed
by a Duly Authorized Officer, Borrowers may permanently terminate or permanently

as
follows:
Β
(i)Β any
such
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $100,000 or, if
greater, an integral multiple of $100,000;

unless accompanied by a Commitment Reduction Notice.
Β

-
Β
(b)Β Mandatory
Commitment Reductions and Prepayments.
Β
(i)Β Casualty
Events.
Subject
to the provisions of Section
6.02,
in the
event of receipt by any Borrower of any Insurance Proceeds as a result of a
Casualty Event relating to the assets of any Borrower (A) in excess of $100,000
(except to the extent such proceeds are used by Borrower within the Restoration
Period to restore, repair or replace the Damaged Property as provided in
Section
6.02),
(B) at
any time that a Default has occurred and is continuing, or (C) at any time
a
Borrower is deemed to have elected to apply such Insurance Proceeds to prepay
the Loans by such amount as provided in Section
6.02
or to
have determined not to restore, repair or replace the asset or property affected
by such Casualty Event, the Loans shall be prepaid as provided in Section
2.05(c)
in an
amount equal to 100% of such Insurance Proceeds.
Β
(ii)Β Dispositions
of Assets.
Without
limiting the obligation of Borrowers under SectionΒ 7.03
to
obtain the consent of the Required Lenders to any Disposition not otherwise
permitted hereunder, Borrowers agree (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the
occurrence of any Disposition, to deliver to Billing Agent (in sufficient copies
for each Lender) a statement, certified by a Duly Authorized Officer of Borrower
Representative and in reasonable detail, of the estimated amount of the Net
Cash
Proceeds of such Disposition and (B) that in the event such Disposition is
closed, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans on the date of such Disposition, in
an
aggregate amount equal to (x) eighty-six and one-quarter percent (86.25%) of
the
first Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in aggregate Sale Amounts; (y)
seventy-eight percent (78%) of the second Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)
in
aggregate Sale Amounts; and (z) sixty-nine and three-quarters percent (69.75%)
of any additional Sale Amounts. That portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from
each
Disposition that exceeds the amount required to be paid to Lenders pursuant
to
this Section
2.05(b)(ii)
shall be
retained by Borrower at the closing of such Disposition(s) and may be used
for
any business purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prepayment requirements
of this Section
2.05(b)(ii)
shall
not apply with respect to Dispositions in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$250,000 in any calendar year.
Β
As
an
example, assume Borrowers dispose of a Station (the "Sold
Station")
in
exchange for Net Cash Proceeds of $10,000,000, and the Sale Amount for the
Sold
Station (as set forth on Schedule
1.01)
is
$8,000,000. Assume further that, for purposes of this example, the Disposition
of the Sold Station is (i) the first Disposition of a Station to occur after
the
Closing Date; and (ii) the only Disposition occurring during such Fiscal Year.
At the closing of the Disposition of the Sold Station, an amount equal to
$6,900,000 (i.e., the Sale Amount of $8,000,000 multiplied by 86.25%) would
be
paid to the Billing Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and $3,100,000 would
be retained by the Borrowers.
Β
(iii)Β Equity
andΒ Debt
Issuances.
Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to Billing Agent for the benefit
of
Lenders as a prepayment of the principal of the Loans (A)Β one hundred
percent (100%) of the cash proceeds (net of reasonable and customary related
out-of-pocket fees and expenses) of the sale or issuance of any Equity
Securities by Borrowers to any Person (except to the extent that the Agents
in
their sole discretion consent in writing to the use of such net proceeds for
funding of Borrowers' business operations); and (B)Β one hundred percent
(100%) of the cash proceeds (net of reasonable and customary related
out-of-pocket fees and expenses) of the issuance by Borrowers of any
Indebtedness to any Person, in each case, within two (2) Business Days of such
Borrower's receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
2.05(b)(iii)
to the
contrary, Borrowers may unilaterally elect to not make a mandatory prepayment
from issuances of Equity Securities and Indebtedness and use such funds for
Borrowers' business operations and related proceeds so long as the net cash
proceeds of issuances do not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

Β
(iv)Β Mandatory
Reductions in Revolving Credit Commitments.
All
payments of principal under Section
2.05(b)(i), (ii)
and
(iii)
shall be
applied in accordance with Section
2.05(c)(iv),
provided,
however,
that
all such payments in respect to the Revolving Credit Loans as a result of the
provisions of SectionΒ 2.05(b)(i),
(ii)
and
(iii),
shall
effect a simultaneous dollar-for-dollar permanent reduction in the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments; provided,
further,
that at
the time of receipt of such proceeds from Casualty Event or condemnation,
Borrowers may notify Billing Agent of their intention to use such proceeds
for
reinvestments permitted by this Agreement during the Restoration Period, in
which event (i)Β the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments will be reduced
at the expiration of the applicable Restoration Period in the amount of such
proceeds not utilized for permitted reinvestments by Borrowers, (ii)Β except
to the extent that the payment is intended to be a permanent prepayment of
the
Loans and corresponding permanent reduction in the Commitments, and any
remaining proceeds from Casualty Event or condemnation not so applied to payment
of the Loans shall be held in an interest-bearing deposit account maintained
with a financial institution acceptable to Collateral Agent subject to a
perfected security interest in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of
Lenders until such proceeds are used for reinvestment or applied to the payment
of the Loans as set forth herein, and (iii)Β availability for borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Commitments in an amount equal to the amount of
such
payments shall be restricted to permitted reinvestments in accordance with
this
Agreement and within the Restoration Period, and, provided,
further,
that
each Revolving Credit Lender shall have the right to waive such permanent
reduction requirement and may, in lieu thereof, impose a reserve in the amount
determined by such Revolving Credit Lender, which shall not exceed the amount
of
the permanent reduction being waived.
Β
(c)Β Application
of Reductions, Payments and Prepayments, Cash Collateral;
Etc.
Β
(i)Β All
prepayments of the Loans under this Section
2.05:
(A)
shall be made without set-off, deduction or counterclaim and (B) shall be
applied in accordance with clausesΒ (ii), (iii) and (iv)
hereof.
Β
(ii)Β In
addition, if, following a Disposition, the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding
and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans, (y) the then outstanding and
unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, and (z) the Letter
of
Credit Usage, shall exceed forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale
Value
of Eligible Stations, Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to repay
the Revolving Credit Loans (or if the Revolving Credit Loans have been repaid
in
full, the Term Loans) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition,
upon any reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrowers shall pay
any
then accrued Unused Line Fees.
Β

Β
(iii)Β On
the
date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations (including contingent
reimbursement obligations of Borrowers with respect to any outstanding Letters
of Credit) immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand
(including either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Collateral Agent
for the benefit of those Revolving Credit Lenders with a Revolving Credit
Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage,
or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing
Lender). No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge
Borrowers of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the
Collateral Agent's Liens in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all
Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and the Revolving Credit
Lenders' obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been
terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations
have been fully and finally discharged and the Lenders' obligations to provide
additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably,
Collateral Agent will, at Borrowers' sole expense, execute and deliver any
UCC
termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of
trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or
release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably
necessary to release, as of record, the Collateral Agent's Liens and all notices
of security interests and liens previously filed by Collateral Agent with
respect to the Obligations.
Β
(iv)Β All
payments shall be remitted to Collateral Agent and all such payments (other
than
payments received while no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and which relate to the payment of principal or interest of specific
Obligations then due or which relate to the payment of specific fees then due),

principal balance of all Term Loans and the denominator of which fraction is
the
unpaid principal balance of all Term Loans, and the remaining portion of the
proceeds shall be applied as set forth in paragraphs below);
Β

Section
2.07.Β Requirements
of Law.
Β
(a)Β In
the
event that any Regulatory Change shall:
Β
(i)Β change
the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement
or any Notes in respect of any Loans made by it (other than taxes imposed on
the
overall net income of such Lender in its jurisdiction of organization or in
the
jurisdiction where its lending office is located);
Β
(ii)Β impose
or
modify any reserve, compulsory loan assessment, special deposit or similar
requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, any office of such Lender (including
any
of such Loans); or
Β
(iii)Β impose
any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of Loans (or any of
such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities);
Β
-
41
-
Β
and
the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase such Lender's costs of
making or maintaining any Loans or any Commitment, or to reduce any amount
receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any Commitment, in each case
only to the extent that such additional amounts are not included in the Prime
Rate applicable to such Loans, then Borrowers shall pay on demand to such
Lender, through Billing Agent, and from time to time as specified by such
Lender, such additional amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine are
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable.
Β
(b)Β If
at any
time after the date of this Agreement any Lender shall have reasonably
determined that the adoption or implementation of any Regulatory Change
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof (whether or not having the force of law), has or will 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 the existence of its
obligations hereunder (whether with respect to the Commitments, the Loans or
any
other Obligation) to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company
could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time
following written notice by such Lender to Borrowers as provided in paragraph
(c) of this Section, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such
Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, through Billing Agent, such
additional amount or amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine will
compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such
reduction, provided that to the extent that any or all of Borrowers' liability
under this Section arises following the date of the adoption of any such
Regulatory Change (the "Effective
Date"),
such
compensation shall be payable only with respect to that portion of such
liability arising after notice of such Regulatory Change is given by such Lender
to Borrower.
Β
(c)Β If
any
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall notify Borrowers in writing of the event by reason of which
it
has become so entitled within thirty (30) days after such Lender becomes aware
of such claim. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation
of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such
Lender to Borrowers shall be delivered to Borrowers and the other Lenders
promptly after the delivery of the initial notice to Borrowers and, if not
objected to reasonably and in good faith by Borrowers within fifteen (15) days
of their receipt of such certificate, shall be conclusive so long as it reflects
a reasonable basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and
does
not contain any manifest error. The covenants contained in this Section shall
survive for six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement and
the
payment of the outstanding Loans. No failure on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) above on any one occasion shall
constitute a waiver of its rights to demand compensation on any other occasion.
The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless
of
any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of any law,
regulation or other condition which shall give rise to any demand by such Lender
for compensation thereunder. If any Lender claims increased costs, loss or
expenses pursuant to this Section, then such Lender, if requested by the
Borrowers, shall use reasonable efforts to take such steps that such Borrowers
reasonably request as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such increased
costs, losses or expenses so long as taking such steps would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
Any recovery by any Lender of amounts previously borne by a Borrower pursuant
to
this Section shall be promptly remitted, without interest (unless such Lender
received interest on such recovered amounts), to such Borrower by such
Lender.

(d)Β Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement,
any
Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
any
LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with
respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to
Billing Agent:
Β
(i)Β such
Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of
such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for
additional Interest Periods and Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such
duration) be Converted into LIBOR Loans), whereupon any request for a LIBOR
Loan
or to Convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan or to Continue a LIBOR Loan,
as
applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only,
be
deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan (or a request to Continue a Base Rate
Loan
as such for an additional Interest Period or to Convert a LIBOR Loan into a
Base
Rate Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently
withdrawn; and
Β
(ii)Β such
Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be Converted
to
Base Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically
Converted to Base Rate Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as
provided in the last sentence of this Section
2.07(d).
Β
In
the
event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clauses (i) or (ii) of this
Section
2.07(d),
all
payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied
to
repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted
LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate
Loans
made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such LIBOR
Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this Section
2.07(d),
a
notice to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan
made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently
applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective
on the date of receipt by the Borrowers.

Section
2.09.Β Taxes.
Β
(a)Β All
payments made by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made
free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (all such taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being
hereinafter called "Taxes");
provided,
however,
that
the term "Taxes" shall not include net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed
in
lieu of net income taxes) and general intangibles taxes (such as those imposed
by the State of Florida) imposed on any Agent or any Lender, as the case may
be,
as a result of a present, former or future connection or nexus between the
jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and such Agent
or
such Lender other than that arising from such Agent or such Lender having
executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under,
or
enforced, this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Security Documents. If any
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or
any
Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to such Agent or
such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent
or
such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts
payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement
and
the Notes. Whenever any Taxes are payable by Borrowers in respect of this
Agreement or the Notes, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrowers shall
send
to Collateral Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender,
as
the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received
by
Borrowers showing payment thereof. If a Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when
due
to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Collateral Agent the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall
indemnify Agents, Documentation Agent and Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as
a
result of any such failure. If, after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers under
this Section, any part of any Tax paid by any Agent or any Lender is
subsequently recovered by such Agent or such Lender, such Agent or such Lender
shall reimburse Borrowers to the extent of the amount so recovered. A
certificate of an officer of such Agent or such Lender setting forth the amount
of such recovery and the basis therefor shall, in the absence of obvious error,
be conclusive. Agents and Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to notify
Borrowers of their attempts, if any, to obtain abatements of any such Taxes
and
the receipt by Agents or Lenders of any funds in connection therewith. The
agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable
hereunder.
Β
(b)Β If
any
Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning
of
the Code, and such Lender is entitled to an exemption (or is exempt) from or
reduction of United States withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the
Code or any other law of the United States, or any treaty to which the United
States is a party, such Lender will deliver to Collateral Agent and Borrowers
prior to the first date as of which any payment is required to be made to it
hereunder (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8ECI, or a successor applicable form, as the case
may
be, and (ii) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
or a
successor applicable form, as the case may be. Each such Lender also agrees
to
deliver to Borrowers and Collateral Agent two further copies of the said Form
W-8 BEN or W-8ECI and Form W-9, or successor applicable forms or other manner
of
certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form
expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring
a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrowers, and
such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrowers
or
Collateral Agent, unless in any such case an event (including, without
limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to
the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises
Borrowers and Collateral Agent. Such Lender shall certify (x) in the case of
a
Form W-8BEN or W-8 ECI, that it is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes and (y) in the case of a Form W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption
from United States backup withholding tax. In no event shall Borrowers be
responsible for any loss incurred as a result of a Lender's failure to comply
with this subsection (b).
Β

-
Β
(c)Β If
any
Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Collateral
Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent
to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction.
If
the forms or other documentation required under subsection (b) above are not
executed, completed and/or delivered to Collateral Agent, then Collateral Agent
may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms
or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by Collateral Agent
to or
for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by
Borrowers.
Β
(d)Β If
the
Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, domestic or
foreign, asserts a claim that Agents or Documentation Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (whether
because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed,
completed and/or delivered, because such Lender failed to notify Collateral
Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or
reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender
shall indemnify each Agent and Borrowers fully for all amounts paid, directly
or
indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest,
and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable
to an
Agent under this subsection (d), together with all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid in connection
therewith.
Β
(e)Β If
at any
time a Borrower requests any Lender to deliver any forms other than
documentation pursuant to subsection (b) above, then Borrowers shall, upon
demand of such Lender, reimburse such Lender for any reasonable costs or
expenses incurred by such Lender in the preparation or delivery of such forms
or
other documentation.
Β
Section
2.10.Β Indemnification
for LIBOR Breakage Charges.
Borrowers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall pay to
Billing Agent, for the account of each Lender, promptly upon the request of
such
Lender delivered to Billing Agent and thereafter delivered by Billing Agent
to
Borrowers, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any actual
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as reasonably determined by
such
Lender) as a result of (a) failure by Borrowers to borrow, Continue or Convert
any LIBOR Loan after having given notice of their intention to borrow, Continue
or Convert such Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
(whether by reason of Borrowers' election not to proceed or the non-fulfillment
of any of the conditions to such advance), or (b)Β the payment (or failure
to pay after giving notice thereof) of any LIBOR Loan in whole or in part for
any reason prior to the end of the Interest Period relating thereto. Losses
subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without limitation, lost
margins, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Lender
permitted hereunder in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid,
paid,
repaid, not borrowed, or not paid, as the case may be, and will be payable
whether the Maturity Date is changed by virtue of an amendment hereto (unless
such amendment expressly waives such payment) or as a result of acceleration
of
the Obligations. Such indemnification may also include an amount equal to
(i)Β the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so
prepaid for the period from the date of such repayment (if such date is not
the
last day of the Interest Period) through the end of such Interest Period at
the
applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein minus
(ii) the
amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have
accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for
a
comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. Any
such calculations of losses or damages may be calculated as described above
whether or not the Lender actually match funds LIBOR Loans in the interbank
Eurodollar market. The provisions of this Section
2.10
shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and
all
other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by each such Lender of the
amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written notice delivered
to Billing Agent (and thereafter delivered by Billing Agent to the Borrowers),
containing such Lender's calculation thereof in reasonable detail shall be
presumed correct absent obvious error. For the purpose of calculating amounts
payable to a Lender under this SectionΒ 2.10,
each
Lender shall be deemed to have funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the
purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal
to
the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant
Interest Period; provided,
however,
that
each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and
the
foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating
amounts payable to the Lenders under this SectionΒ 2.10.

2.11.Β Payments
Under the Notes.
Β
(a)Β All
payments and prepayments made by Borrowers of principal of, and interest on,
the
Loans and other sums and charges payable under this Agreement, including without
limitation, any payments under Sections
2.06,
2.07,
2.09
and
2.10,
shall
be made in immediately available funds to Billing Agent (as specified in
Section
13.03)
for the
accounts of Lenders as provided in Section
2.13
and
otherwise herein and not later than 12:00 P.M. (California time) on the date
on
which such payment shall become due. Billing Agent shall promptly, following
receipt of payment under this Agreement or Notes, distribute such payment to
each affected Lender in accordance with this Agreement, and Borrowers shall
not
be responsible for Billing Agent's failure to do so. The failure by Borrowers
to
make any such payment by such hour shall not constitute a Default hereunder
so
long as payment is received later that day, provided
that any
such payment made after 12:00 P.M. (California time) on such due date shall
be
deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating
interest on amounts outstanding on the Notes. Borrowers shall, at the time
of
making each payment under this Agreement or the Notes, specify to Billing Agent
the Loans or amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is
to
be applied and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if a Default has
occurred and is continuing, unless all of the Lenders shall otherwise consent
thereto, Billing Agent shall distribute such payments in accordance with
SectionΒ 2.05(c).
Β
(b)Β If
any
payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be due and payable on a day which
is
not a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed due on the next following
Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified
herein through such extension period. Billing Agent, or any Lender for whose
account any such payment is made, may (but shall not be obligated to) debit
the
amount of any such payment which is not made by 2:00 P.M. (California time)
to
any deposit account of Borrowers with Billing Agent or such Lender, as the
case
may be. Each payment received by Billing Agent under this Agreement or any
Note
for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in
immediately available funds, for the account of such Lender for the Note in
respect to which such payment is made.

2.12.Β Set-Off,
Etc.
Each
Borrower hereby grants to Lenders, a lien, security interest and right of
set-off as security for all Obligations to Lenders, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and
property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control
of
Lenders or any Affiliate of any Lender and their successors and assigns, or
in
transit to any of them. At any time, without demand or notice, Lenders may
set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any matured liability
or obligation of a Borrower regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral
securing the Notes. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDERS TO EXERCISE THEIR
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS,
PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS
OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER OR EACH BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each Borrower agrees that any Person which
purchases a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans (each being
hereinafter referred to as a "Participant")
may,
after the identity of such Participant has been disclosed to Borrowers in
writing, exercise all rights of set-off, bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Participant were
a
direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation, provided that
Borrowers were notified of such purchase. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to require any Participant to exercise any such right or shall affect
the
right of any Participant to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising,
any
such right with respect to any indebtedness or obligation of Borrowers, other
than Borrowers' Indebtedness and Obligations under this Agreement.

appraisal, deliver a written notice (a "Dispute
Notice")

other party indicating that they are disputing such appraisal and setting forth
the reasons for the dispute. If neither party receives a Dispute Notice within
such fifteen (15) day period, the appraisal shall be conclusive and binding

Administrative Agent shall retain a second appraiser reasonably satisfactory
to
each party and paid for by the party that sent the Dispute Notice to conduct
a
second appraisal. The Adjusted Sale Price or Additional Sale Price, as
applicable, shall be deemed to be equal to the average appraised value for
such
Station, calculated based upon the appraised values determined in the appraisal
delivered pursuant to Section
2.18(a)
or
(b),
as
applicable, and in the appraisal delivered pursuant to this Section

Leases are valid, subsisting and in full force and effect. Except as specified
on Schedule
4.09,
the
term of each of such Leases (including unexercised renewal options) extends
at
least through the Maturity Date. None of such Leases contains any provision
restricting the incurrence of indebtedness by the lessee.

Β
(c)Β Except

4.09,
none of
the improved real property owned or leased by each Borrower that is required

is
situated in a flood zone designated as type "A", "B" or "V" by the U.S.

Β
(d)Β Schedule
4.09
sets
forth an accurate and complete list of all Intellectual Property, owned by
or
licensed to each Borrower and used or to be used by each Borrower in connection
with the ownership or operation of the Stations. Such Intellectual Property

of the Stations, except to the extent that their absence would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower's knowledge, all documents and agreements
relating to such Intellectual Property is in full force and effect and no
material default has occurred and is continuing under any such document or
agreement.
Β
(e)Β To
Borrowers' knowledge, the use by each Borrower of any Intellectual Property
owned by such Borrower does not require the consent of any other Person and
the
same are freely transferable (except as otherwise provided by law). Except
as
described on Schedule
4.09,
the
Borrowers have ownership or a valid license to use all Intellectual Property
used or to be used by it in connection with the ownership or operation of the
Stations, free and clear of any attachments, liens, encumbrances or adverse
claims, and, to Borrowers' knowledge, neither the present or contemplated

in Other Businesses.
Except
as reflected in Schedule
4.10

activities or operations other than the ownership and operation of the Stations

Β
Section
4.11.Β Solvency.
Β
(a)Β The
aggregate amount of the full saleable value of the present assets and properties
of Borrowers exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in
respect of Borrowers' existing debts and other liabilities (including probable
contingent liabilities) as they mature.
Β
(b)Β Borrowers'
assets and properties do not constitute unreasonably small capital for Borrowers
to carry out their business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted,
including Borrowers' capital needs, taking into the account the particular
capital requirements of such Borrower's business and the projected capital
requirements and capital availability thereof.
Β
(c)Β Borrowers
do not intend to, nor will Borrowers, incur debts beyond their ability to pay
such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash
reasonably anticipated to be received by Borrowers and the amounts of cash
reasonably anticipated to be payable on or in respect of Borrowers' obligations.
Borrowers' cash flow, after taking into account all anticipated sources and
uses
of cash (including, without limitation, an issuance by EMHC of additional Equity
Securities or Indebtedness permitted by the terms hereof in exchange for cash
proceeds equal to $5,000,000), will be sufficient to pay all such amounts on
or
in respect of its indebtedness when such amounts are required to be
paid.
Β
-
62
-
Β
(d)Β Borrowers
believe that no reasonably anticipated final judgment in a pending action or,
to
its knowledge, any threatened action for money damages will be rendered at
a
time when, or in an amount such that, each Borrower will be unable to satisfy
such judgment promptly in accordance with its terms (taking into account the
maximum reasonable amount thereof and the earliest reasonable time at which
such
judgment might be rendered). The cash available to each Borrower, after taking
into account all other anticipated uses of cash (including the payment of all
such Borrower's indebtedness) is anticipated to be sufficient to pay any such
judgment promptly in accordance with their terms.
Β
(e)Β No
Borrower is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a
substantial portion of its property, and Borrowers have no knowledge of any
Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any
Borrower.

No
statement of fact made by or on behalf of any Borrower in this Agreement or
any
other Loan Document or in any certificate or schedule furnished to Lenders
pursuant hereto or thereto contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or
omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein
or herein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrowers which
has not been disclosed to Lenders in writing which materially and adversely
affects any Borrower, or, as far as Borrowers can reasonably foresee, could
have
a Material Adverse Effect, other than facts and circumstances generally known
within the television broadcast industry.

Β
(a)Β Keep
all
of its insurable properties now or hereafter owned adequately insured at all

with respect to like properties of companies conducting similar businesses
(with
extended coverage endorsement including hurricane, tornado and wind damage
coverage); maintain public liability, broadcasters' liability and workers'
compensation insurance insuring such Borrower to the extent customary with
respect to companies conducting similar businesses; maintain workers'
compensation insurance as required by applicable state law, and maintain
business interruption insurance in an amount not less than three (3) months'
of
net profits and Total Fixed Charges of Borrowers' business, all by financially

proposed cancellation arises by reason of non-payment of insurance premiums
in
which case such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days in advance thereof)
and that Agents and Lenders will have the opportunity to correct any
deficiencies justifying such proposed cancellation.
Β
(b)Β In
the
event of a Casualty Event affecting any asset or property of a Borrower (whether
or not such property constitutes Collateral) (the "Damaged
Property")
and
provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral
Agent
and Lenders will deliver to Borrowers (for the benefit of such Borrowers) any
Insurance Proceeds therefrom, if Borrowers so elect following notice thereof
provided by Collateral Agent within ten (10) days of its receipt of any
Insurance Proceeds, provided,
however
that (i)
Borrowers shall use such proceeds for the restoration or replacement of the
Damaged Property within the applicable Restoration Period, (ii) Borrowers shall
have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of Collateral Agent that the

substance satisfactory to the Required Lenders, as to the perfection of
Collateral Agent's security interest in and lien upon such restored or replaced
property or asset and such evidence satisfactory to the Required Lenders as
to
the priority of such security interest and liens. If Borrowers fail to elect
the
disbursement of such Insurance Proceeds as provided in the foregoing sentence
within thirty (30) days following receipt of Collateral Agent's notice,
Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected that such Insurance Proceeds be
applied to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and that the Revolving
Credit Commitments be permanently reduced by such amount; and in the event

so
disbursed, to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount; and in the
event
the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced to zero, the remaining

if directed by the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the existence
of any Event of Default, may elect to apply any Insurance Proceeds received
by
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section
6.02
to the
replacement, restoration and/or repair of the Damaged Property, in lieu of
effecting the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and reduction of the
Revolving Credit Commitments; and in the event the Revolving Credit Commitments
are permanently reduced to zero, the remaining proceeds shall be applied to
the
prepayment of the Term Loans.
Β

or
(d),
the
related Insurance Proceeds (and any earnings thereon) shall be held by
Collateral Agent and shall be applied to the replacement, restoration and repair
of the Damaged Property and advanced by Collateral Agent in periodic
installments upon compliance by Borrowers with such reasonable conditions to
disbursement as may be imposed by the Required Lenders, including, but not
limited to, reasonable retention amounts and receipt of lien releases and,
if
determined by Collateral Agent, disbursement of such Insurance Proceeds jointly
to Borrowers and any contractors, subcontractors and materialmen to whom payment
is owed in connection with such repair, replacement and/or
restoration.

(e)Β Following
the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default under either paragraph
(b) or (c) of Article

Borrowers as provided above and all such proceeds shall be applied in accordance
with SectionΒ 2.05(c),
and the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the amount of
such
proceeds to the extent applied to the payment of the Revolving Credit
Loans.
Β
(f)Β With
respect to any Casualty Event resulting in Insurance Proceeds aggregating
$100,000 or more, Collateral Agent shall be entitled at its option to
participate in any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with
any
claims for damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance,
and
Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days after request therefor, reimburse
Collateral Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Collateral Agent in connection
with such participation. Neither Borrower shall make any compromise, adjustment
or settlement in connection with any such claim without the approval of the
Required Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
Β
(g)Β To
the
extent, if any, that any improved real property (whether owned or leased) of
the
Borrowers that is mortgaged as required under Section

Section
9.01.Β General
Provisions.
In case
any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may proceed to protect and
enforce their rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained
in
this Agreement, the Notes, any Security Document or any other Loan Document,
or
for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof
or
in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law, all
subject to the provisions of ArticleΒ XI.
Β
Section
9.02.Β Consent
to Receivership.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing or limiting in any way the rights
of
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under the Security Documents or
otherwise under applicable law, at any time after the occurrence, and during
the
continuance, of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to apply for and have a receiver or receiver and manager
appointed under state or Federal law of the United States by a court of
competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent and Lenders to enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and under
the
Loan Documents in order to manage, protect, preserve, sell and otherwise dispose
of all or any portion of the Collateral and continue the operation of the
Stations of the Borrowers, and to collect all revenues and profits thereof
and
apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such
receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, and to the payment
of
the Obligations as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such
Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably consents to and waives any right to object to or otherwise contest
the appointment of a receiver as provided above. Each Borrower (i) grants such
waiver and consent knowingly and voluntarily after having discussed the
implications thereof with counsel; (ii) acknowledges that the uncontested right
to have a receiver appointed for the foregoing purposes is considered essential
by Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in connection with the
enforcement of their rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security
Documents, and the availability of such appointment as a remedy under the
foregoing circumstances was a material factor in inducing Lenders to make the
Loans to Borrowers; and (iii) agrees to enter into any and all stipulations
in
any legal actions and agreements or other instruments in connection with the
foregoing and to cooperate fully with Lenders, Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent in connection with the assumption and exercise of control
by
the receiver over all or any portion of the Collateral.
Β
Section
9.03.Β Effect
of Termination of Commitments.
On the
date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations (including contingent
reimbursement obligations of Borrowers with respect to any outstanding Letters
of Credit) immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand
(including either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Collateral Agent
for the benefit of those Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment in an amount
equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the
original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender). No termination
of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrowers of their
duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the Liens of Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all
Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and the Commitments have
been
terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations
have been fully and finally discharged and the Commitments have been terminated
irrevocably, Collateral Agent will, at Borrowers' sole expense, execute and
deliver any UCC termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases,
re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other
similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form)
as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, the Collateral Agent's
Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by
Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations.

Section
10.02.Β Reliance
by Agents.
(a)Β Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or
other communication (including any communication by telephone, telecopy, or
e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
sent
by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements
of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. Each Agent may treat
the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until it receives written notice
of
the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to such Agent, signed
by such payee and including the agreement of the assignee or transferee to
be
bound hereby as it would have been if it had been an original Lender hereunder.
As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, each Agent
shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders or
Lenders, as specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such
instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be
binding on Lenders. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of

except for ministerial and administrative acts of Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or Billing Agent, unless such decision is restricted to or
reserved for all Lenders as provided in Article

Β
(b)Β If
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall request instructions from

Document, then Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and
until Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have
received instructions from Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the
case
may be, and Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall
not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to
take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (i)Β if such
action would, in the opinion of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
the
case may be, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other
Loan
Document, (ii)Β if such action would, in the opinion of Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, expose Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, to liability under Environmental Laws, or
(iii)Β if Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have
any
right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent,
as
the case may be, as a result of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
the
case may be, acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other
Loan
Document in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or all affected
Lenders, as applicable.

Section
10.03.Β Events
of Default.
Neither
Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge
of
the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal
of or interest on the Notes which it holds as a Lender hereunder, the Loans
or
any fees) unless it has received written notice from any Lender or Borrowers
specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice
of
Default". In the event that either Agent receives such a notice of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof
to Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each non-payment
thereafter). Collateral Agent shall (subject to Section
10.07)
take
such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the
Required Lenders, as provided under Article
XI,
provided that, unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received such
directions, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action on behalf of Lenders, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to
such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders
and Agents.
Β
Section
10.04.Β Rights
as a Lender.
With
respect to its Commitment(s) and the Loans made by WFF and Silver Point
hereunder, and the Notes issued to it, each of WFF and Silver Point shall have
the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent
or
Billing Agent, as applicable; and the terms "Lender," "Lenders" and "Required
Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each of WFF and
Silver Point in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent, Silver Point,
WFF, Collateral Agent, Billing Agent, and their respective Affiliates may,
without having to account therefor to Lenders and without giving rise to any
fiduciary or other similar duty to any Lender, accept deposits from, lend money
to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with
Borrowers and any of their Affiliates as if it were not acting as an Agent
and
as if it were not a Lender, and Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may
accept fees and other consideration from each Borrower or any other Affiliate
for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having
to
account for the same to Lenders.
Β
Section
10.05.Β Indemnification.
Lenders
agree to indemnify each of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Billing
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section
13.02,
but
without limiting the obligations of Borrowers under such SectionΒ 13.02),
ratably in accordance with the respective aggregate principal amount of the
Notes held by such Lenders, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, action, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent
or
Billing Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any
Security Document, any other Loan Document or any other document contemplated
by
or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated by or referred to herein
or therein (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which
Borrowers are obligated to pay under Section
13.02)
or the
enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement, any Security Document or
any
other Loan Document, or in any way relating to any action taken or omitted
by
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Billing Agent under this Agreement,
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent
they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent or Billing Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees, but exclusive
of
any costs and expenses of syndications) incurred by Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or Billing Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,

Section
10.06.Β Non-Reliance
on Agents and other Lenders.
Each
Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent or Billing Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis of the Borrowers and its own decision to enter into this Agreement
and
that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent, Billing Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its
own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Billing Agent do not make any
warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any
Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or
oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement. Neither Agent shall be
required to inquire or keep itself informed as to the performance or observance
by the Borrowers of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or
books of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents and
information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent or Billing Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent and Billing Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or businesses of the Borrowers (or any of their Affiliates)
which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
of
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Billing Agent will, at the requesting
Lender's expense, provide to Lenders any and all information reasonably
requested by them and reasonably available to Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent or Billing Agent promptly upon such request.

Section
10.07.Β Failure
to Act.
Except
for action expressly required of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or
Billing Agent hereunder, each of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and
Billing Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing
to
act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by 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.

Section
10.08.Β Resignation
of an Agent.
(a)Β Silver Point (or any other Administrative Agent hereunder) may resign
as Administrative Agent at any time by giving ten (10) days' prior written
notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Any such resignation shall take effect
at the end of such ten (10) day period or upon the earlier appointment of a
successor Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders as provided below. Upon
any resignation of Silver Point (or any other Administrative Agent hereunder),
the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among
Lenders or, if such appointment is deemed inadvisable or impractical by the
Required Lenders, another financial institution with a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000. If no successor Administrative Agent shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within said ten (10) days, then the resigning Administrative Agent
may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
shall
be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise
shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a
commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial
institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or
any
State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of a least $100,000,000.
If
no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing,
such resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall
thereafter perform all the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent
as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.
After the effective date of the resignation of an Administrative Agent
hereunder, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder, provided that the provisions of this Article
X
shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to
be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Β
(b)Β WFF
(or
any other Collateral Agent hereunder) may resign as Collateral Agent at any
time
by giving ten (10) days' prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers.
Any such resignation shall take effect at the end of such ten (10) day period
or
upon the earlier appointment of a successor Collateral Agent by the Required
Lenders as provided below. Upon any resignation of WFF (or any other Collateral
Agent hereunder), the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Collateral
Agent from among Lenders or, if such appointment is deemed inadvisable or
impractical by the Required Lenders, another financial institution with a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. If no successor
Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within said ten (10) days, then the resigning
Collateral Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral
Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such
appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution
or
a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial
bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States
of America or any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of a
least $100,000,000. If no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed pursuant
to the foregoing, such resignation shall become effective and the Required
Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Collateral Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Collateral
Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral
Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral
Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent. After the effective
date
of the resignation of a Collateral Agent hereunder, the retiring Collateral
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, provided
that the provisions of this Article
X
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 Collateral Agent. In the event that there
shall not be a duly appointed and acting Collateral Agent, Borrowers agree
to
make each payment due to Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, if any, directly to each Lender entitled thereto, pursuant to written
instructions provided by the resigning Collateral Agent or, after such
resignation, Lenders, and to provide copies of each certificate or other
document required to be furnished to Collateral Agent hereunder, if any,
directly to each Lender.

Lender shall (a) promptly notify the other Lenders and each Agent of any Event
of Default known to such Lender under this Agreement and not reasonably believed
to have been previously disclosed to the other Lenders; (b) provide the other
Lenders and each Agent with such information and documentation as such other
Lenders or such Agent(s) shall reasonably request in the performance of their
respective duties hereunder, including, without limitation, all information
relative to the outstanding balance of principal, interest and other sums owed
to such Lender by Borrowers, but excluding internally generated reports,
analyses, correspondence and other customarily confidential materials and (c)
cooperate with Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent with respect to any
and
all collections and/or foreclosure procedures at any time commenced against
Borrowers or otherwise in respect of the Collateral by Administrative Agent
and
Collateral Agent in the name and on behalf of Lenders.

Section
10.10.Β One
Lender Sufficient.
This
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and all agency provisions
shall
be and remain effective, notwithstanding the fact that there may from time
to
time be only one Lender hereunder which Lender may be the same Person who is
then serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder.

(a)Β This
Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire agreement of the parties herein and supersede any and
all
prior agreements, written or oral, as to the matters contained herein, and
no
modification or waiver of any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document,
nor consent to the departure by each Borrower or Person therefrom, shall be
effective unless the same is in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which
given. Except as otherwise provided by the terms of this Agreement or other
Loan
Document, the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required and sufficient
(i) to amend, with the consent of Borrowers, any term of this Agreement, the
Notes or any other Loan Document or to waive the observance of any such term
(either generally or in a particular instance or either retroactively or
prospectively); (ii) to take or refrain from taking any action under this
Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or applicable law, including,
without limitation, (A) the acceleration of the payment of the Notes, (B) the
termination of the Commitments, (C) the exercise of Administrative Agent's,
Collateral Agent's and Lenders' remedies hereunder and under the Security
Documents and (D) the giving of any approvals, consents, directions or

the rate of interest or fees thereon, or reduce or increase the principal amount
thereof (it being understood that no amendment or modification to the financial
definitions in this Agreement and no waiver or modification of any condition
precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute a reduction in any rate of
interest or fees for purposes of this clause (1));

(2)Β release
all or substantially all of the Collateral (except in connection with the sale

the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without
the
consent of such Lender (it being understood that (aa) no waiver or modification

in
the Commitments shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender
and

not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender); or
Β
(x)Β without

Β
(b)Β Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Article
XI
shall be
binding upon each holder of any Note at the time outstanding, each future holder
of any Note and Borrowers. Lenders' failure to insist (directly or through
either Agent) upon the strict performance of any term, condition or other
provision of this Agreement, any Note, or any of the Security Documents or
other
Loan Documents, or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or thereunder,
shall not constitute a waiver by Lenders of any such term, condition or other
provision or Default or Event of Default in connection therewith, nor shall
a
single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or
future exercise, or the exercise of any other right or remedy; and any waiver
of
any such term, condition or other provision or of any such Default or Event
of
Default shall not affect or alter this Agreement, any Note or any of the
Security Documents or other Loan Documents, and each and every term, condition
and other provision of this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents
and
other Loan Documents shall, in such event, continue in full force and effect
and
shall be operative with respect to any other then existing or subsequent Default
or Event of Default in connection therewith. An Event of Default or Default
shall be deemed to be continuing unless and until cured or waived in writing
by
the applicable Lenders, as provided in subsection (a) above.
Β
(c)Β Each
Lender hereby severally agrees as set forth in this Section. If any Lender
(a
"Subject
Lender")
(i)
makes demand upon the Borrowers for (or if the Borrowers are otherwise required
to pay) amounts pursuant to Section
2.07
(ii)
gives notice pursuant to Section
2.07(b)
requiring a Conversion of such Subject Lenderβs LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate
Loans or any other change in the basis upon which interest is to accrue in
respect of such Subject Lenderβs LIBOR Rate Loans or suspending such Lenderβs
obligation to make Loans as, or to convert Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans, or
(iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, within 180 days of receipt
by the Borrower of such demand or notice (or the occurrence of such other event
causing the Borrower to be required to pay such compensation) or within 180
days
of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, give notice (a "Replacement
Notice")
in
writing to the Administrative Agent and such Subject Lender of its intention
to
replace such Subject Lender with a financial institution (a "Replacement
Lender")
designated in such Replacement Notice. Upon the delivery of such notice, such
Subject Lender shall, subject to the payment of any amounts due pursuant to
Section
2.07
and
including any applicable Early Termination Fees which would have been due
pursuant to Section
2.05(d)
had the
Borrowers made a voluntary prepayment on such date, assign, in accordance with
Article
XII,
subparagraph (b), all of its Commitments, Loans and other rights and obligations
under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such designated Replacement
Lender; provided,
however,
that
(i) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty and
(ii) the purchase price paid by such designated Replacement Lender shall be
in
the amount of such Subject Lenderβs Loans and its Percentage in respect of the
Revolving Loan Commitments of all outstanding Loans as to which such Lender
shall have made payments, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and
fees
in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (including the amounts demanded
and
unreimbursed under Section
2.07and
including any applicable make-whole or prepayment premium which would have
been
due had the Borrowers made a voluntary prepayment on such date), owing to such
Subject Lender hereunder. Upon the effective date of an assignment described
above, the designated Replacement Lender shall become a βLenderβ for all
purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

XII.Β BENEFIT
OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.
Β
(a)Β This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lenders,
Agents and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all subsequent
holders of any of the Notes or any portion thereof.
Β
(b)Β Each
Lender may assign its rights and interests under this Agreement, the Notes
and
the Security Documents and/or delegate its obligations hereunder and thereunder,
in whole or in part, and sell participations in its Commitment(s) and its Loans,
provided
as
follows:
Β
(i)Β Any
such
assignment, other than an assignment in whole, made other than to (A) another
Lender, (B) a separately organized branch of a Lender or (C) a Related Lender
Party, shall reflect an assignment of such assigning Lender's Note and
Commitment which is in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000,
and
if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.
Β
(ii)Β Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) each Lender may at any
time
pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents, including without limitation its Loans and the Notes
held
by such Lender, to a Federal Reserve Bank (or equivalent thereof in the case
of
Lenders chartered outside of the United States) in support of borrowings made
by
such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, (B) with the consent of each Agent,
any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans
to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee, and (C) any such
pledgee may enforce such pledge. No pledge pursuant to this subsection (ii),
and
no enforcement thereof by the pledgee, shall release the transferor Lender
from
any of its obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents.
Β
(iii)Β Any
assignments and/or delegations made hereunder shall be pursuant to an instrument
of assignment and acceptance (the "Assignment
and Acceptance")
substantially in the form of Schedule
12
and the
parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent
for its acceptance the Assignment and Acceptance together with any Note or
Notes
subject thereto. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall
be
at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee
thereunder shall become a party hereto, to the Loan Documents, and, to the
extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder with the applicable Commitment set forth
therein and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided
in
such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement as to
that portion of its obligation being so assigned and delegated. The Assignment
and Acceptance shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only
to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the assignee as a Lender
and
the resulting adjustment of Commitments arising from the purchase by and
delegation to such assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations
of
such assigning Lender under this Agreement.
Β
-
99
-
Β
(iv)Β Upon
its
receipt of an Assignment
and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and the assignee together with the
Note subject to such assignment (or a standard indemnity letter from the
respective assigning Lender in respect of any lost Note) and payment by the
assignee to Collateral Agent of a registration and processing fee of $5,000,
Collateral Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance; provided,
however,
that in
lieu of such processing fee, on not more than two (2) occasions involving
assignments to an Affiliate, the assigning Lender shall be obligated to pay
to
Collateral Agent only Collateral Agent's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
documenting and reviewing such assignment (including reasonable attorneys'
fees). Promptly upon delivering such Assignment and Acceptance to Collateral
Agent, the assigning Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrowers and
Collateral Agent. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice,
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent in exchange for each
such surrendered Note a new Note payable to the order of such assignee in an
amount equal to the portion of the Commitment assumed by such assignee pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance and a new Note payable to the order of the
assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of the Commitment retained
by
it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of such
Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form
provided in SectionΒ 2.01.
Canceled Notes shall be returned to Borrowers upon the execution and delivery
of
such new Notes.
Β
(v)Β Each
Lender may sell participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Notes held by it); provided,
however,
that,
(A) the selling Lender shall remain obligated under this Agreement to the extent
as it would if it had not sold such participation, (B) the selling Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (C) at no time shall the selling Lender agree with such
participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, except that the selling Lender may agree not to consent,
without such participant's consent, to any of the actions referred to
Article
XI,
to the
extent that the same require the consent of each Lender hereunder, (D) all
amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender
had
not sold such participation and no participant shall be entitled to receive
any
greater amount pursuant to this Agreement than the selling Lender would have
been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation
transferred by such Lender to such participant had no such transfer occurred,
and (E) Borrowers, Collateral Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Β
(vi)Β Except
for an assignment made to (A) another Lender, (B) a separately organized branch
of a Lender, (C) a Related Lender Party or (D) an Eligible Transferee, no
assignment referred to above shall be permitted without the prior written
consent of each Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
Β
(vii)Β Borrowers
may not assign any of their rights or delegate any of their duties or
obligations hereunder.
Β

-
Β
(viii)Β To
the
extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender's Commitment and
outstanding Loans pursuant to subsection (b) of Article
XI
or this
Article
XII
would,
due to circumstances existing at the time of such assignment, result in costs
under Sections
2.07,
2.09
or
2.10
which
are increased from those being charged by the assigning Lender prior to such
assignment, then Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs
(although Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of
the
type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
assignment).
Β
(ix)Β Any
Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation pursuant to
this
Section, disclose to the assignee or participant any information relating to
the
Borrowers and their Affiliates furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of
Borrowers and such assignee or participant shall treat such information as
confidential.
Β
(x)Β No
Lender
shall sell any Participation or Loan interest to a Person that, by virtue of
ownership of debt and/or equity in EMHC, would be deemed to hold an attributable
ownership interest in any of the Borrowers in violations of applicable FCC
rules
and regulations.

COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR COLLATERAL AGENT,
AS
APPLICABLE, ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER
PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND; AND EACH BORROWER, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT MAY LAWFULLY
DO
SO, EXPRESSLY,
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY, WAIVES ANY AND ALL
OBJECTIONS IT MAY HAVE AS TO VENUE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
INCONVENIENCE OF SUCH FORUM, IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS. IN ADDITION, TO THE EXTENT
THAT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, EACH BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS
BY
PERSONAL SERVICE OR U.S. CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,

INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT

Β
(c)Β The
parties to this Agreement prefer that any dispute between or among them be
resolved in litigation subject to a jury trial waiver as set forth in
Section
13.05(b).
If,
however, under then Applicable Law, a pre-dispute jury trial waiver of the
type
provided for in Section
13.05(b) is
unenforceable in litigation to resolve any dispute, claim, cause of action
or
controversy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (each, a
"Claim"),
then,
upon the written request of any party to such litigation, such Claim, including
any and all questions of law or fact relating thereto, shall, to the extent
permitted by or available under Applicable Law, be determined exclusively by
a
judicial reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in Section
13.05(b),
venue
for any such reference proceeding shall be in the state or federal court in
the
County or District where venue is appropriate under Applicable Law (the
"Court").
The
parties shall select a single neutral referee, who shall be a retired state
or
federal judge. If the parties cannot agree upon a referee, the Court shall
appoint the referee. The referee shall report a statement of decision to the
Court. Nothing in this SectionΒ 13.05(c),
however, shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help
remedies, foreclose against collateral or obtain provisional remedies
(including, without limitation, replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or
the
appointment of a receiver). The parties shall bear the fees and expenses of
the
referee equally unless the referee orders otherwise. The referee also shall
determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and
enforceability of this Section
13.05(c).
The
parties acknowledge that any Claim determined by reference pursuant to this
Section
13.05(c) shall
not
be adjudicated by a jury.
Β
Section
13.06.Β Severability.
Any
provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Security Documents or
other
Loan Documents which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

Section
13.07.Β Section
Headings, Etc.
Any
Article and Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose.
Β
Section
13.08.Β Several
Nature of Lenders' Obligations.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Security
Documents to the contrary, all obligations of Lenders hereunder shall be several
and not joint in nature, and in the event any Lender fails to perform any of
its
obligations hereunder, Borrowers shall have no recourse against any other
Lender(s) who has (have) performed its (their) obligations hereunder. The
amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and
independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce
its
rights arising out of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Article
XI,
and it
shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party
in any proceeding for such purpose.
Β
Section
13.09.Β Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts hereof
and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts hereof, each of
which shall be an original and all of which counterparts shall together

Section
13.10.Β Knowledge
and Discovery.

Β
Section
13.11.Β Amendment
of Other Agreements.
All
references in this Agreement to other documents and agreements to which Lenders
are not parties (including without limitation the Acquisition Agreements in
effect as of the date hereof), shall be deemed to refer to such documents and
agreements as presently constituted and, except for any amendments and
modifications not prohibited under Section
7.11,
not as
hereafter amended or modified unless Lenders shall have expressly consented
in
writing to such amendment(s) or modification(s).
Β
Section
13.12.Β FCC
and Other Approvals.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the Security Documents to the
contrary, but without limiting or waiving in any way Borrowers' obligations
under Section
2.16,
Administrative Agent's, Collateral Agent's and Lenders' rights hereunder and
under the Security Documents are subject to all applicable rules and regulations
of all Governmental Authorities, including, without limitation, the Specified
Authorities. Lenders will not take any action pursuant to this Agreement or
the
Security Documents which would constitute or result in any assignment or
transfer of control of any License, whether de jure or de facto, if such
assignment or transfer of control would require under then existing law
(including, without limitation, the FCC Rules), the prior approval of the FCC,
without first obtaining such approval. Each Lender specifically agrees that
(a)
if FCC consent is required, voting rights in the Equity Securities of each
Borrower will remain with the Equity Holders thereof even in an Event of Default
unless any required prior consent of the FCC shall be obtained to the transfer
of such voting rights; (b) in an Event of Default, there will be either a
private or public sale of the ownership interests of each Borrower; and (c)
prior to the exercise of Equity Holder rights by a purchaser at such sale,
the
prior consent of the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Β§ 310(d), in each case only if
required, will be obtained prior to such exercise. Each Borrower agrees to
take
any action which either Agent or any Lender may reasonably request in order
to
cause Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders to obtain and enjoy
the
full rights and benefits granted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including specifically, at the cost and expense of Borrower, the use of its
best
efforts to assist in obtaining approval of each Governmental Authority,
including, without limitation, each Specified Authority, for any action or
transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Document which is
then required by law, and specifically, without limitation, upon request
following an Event of Default, to prepare, sign and file (or cause to be filed)
with the Specified Authority or such other Governmental Authority the
assignor's, transferor's or controlling person's portion of any application
or
applications for consent to (i) the assignment of any License or transfer or
control thereof, (ii) any sale or sales of property constituting any Collateral
by or on behalf of Lenders or (iii) any assumption by Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or Lenders or their designees of voting rights or management
rights in property constituting any Collateral effected in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement.
Β
Section
13.13.Β Disclaimer
of Reliance.
Borrowers have not relied on any oral representations concerning any of the
terms or conditions of the Loans, the Notes, this Agreement or any of the
Security Documents in entering into the same. Each Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that none of the officers of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent,
Documentation Agent or any Lender has made any representations that are
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and
the
Security Documents, and neither a Borrower nor any of its Affiliates has relied
on any oral promises or representations in connection therewith.

Section
13.14.Β Environmental
Indemnification.
Without
limiting the generality of Section
13.02,
in
consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Lenders and
the
making of the Loans, each Borrower hereby indemnifies, exonerates and holds
Lenders, Agents, Documentation Agent and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified
Parties")
free
and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and reasonable expenses incurred in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is
a
party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, the "Indemnified
Liabilities"),
incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising
out of, or relating to:
Β
(a)Β any
investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any environmental cleanup,
audit, compliance or other matter relating to the protection of the environment
or the release by each Borrower of any Hazardous Material; or
Β
(b)Β the
presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge,
emission, release from, any real property owned or operated by each Borrower
of
any Hazardous Material (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries,
costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law),
regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, each
Borrower;
Β
except,
in each case, for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account
of a
particular Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party's
negligence or misconduct, and if and to the extent that the foregoing
undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower agrees to make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein contained, the obligations and liabilities under this
Section shall survive and continue in full force and effect and shall not be
terminated, discharged or released in whole or in part irrespective of whether
all the Obligations have been paid in full or the Commitments have been
terminated and irrespective of any foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust
or
collateral assignment on any real property or acceptance by any Lender of a
deed
or assignment in lieu of foreclosure.
Β
Section
13.15.Β Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agents
and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrowers
shall not have the right to assign any of their rights hereunder or delegate
any
of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders. Any such impermissible assignment or delegation shall be void and
of no
effect.
Β

108
-
Β
Section
13.16.Β Maximum
Enforceability.
Β Notwithstanding
any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the
contrary, it is the intention and agreement of each Borrower, Lenders and Agents
that the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan
Document to which it is a party shall be valid and enforceable against such
Borrower to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if
any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document creating any obligation
of a Borrower in favor of an Agent or Lenders shall be declared to be invalid
or
unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is the stated intention and
agreement of Borrowers, Lenders and Agents that any balance of the obligation
created by such provision and all other obligations of such Borrower to Agents
and Lenders created by other provisions of this Agreement and Loan Documents
shall remain valid and enforceable. Likewise, if any sums which an Agent or
any
Lender may be otherwise entitled to collect from a Borrower under this Agreement
or other Loan Document shall be declared to be in excess of those permitted
under any law (including any federal or state fraudulent conveyance or like
statute or rule of law) applicable to such Borrower's obligations under this
Agreement or other Loan Document, it is the stated intention and agreement
of
such Borrower, Lenders and Agents that all sums not in excess of those permitted
under such Applicable Law shall remain fully collectible by Agents and Lenders
from such Borrower, and such excess sums shall nevertheless survive as a
subordinate obligation of such Borrower, junior in right to the claims of
general unsecured creditors. This provision shall control every other provision
of the Loan Documents.
Β
Section
13.17.Β Suretyship
Waivers and Consents.
Β
(a)Β Unless
the context clearly indicates to the contrary, each covenant, agreement,
obligation, representation and warranty of the Borrowers contained herein
constitutes the joint and several undertaking of each Borrower.
Β
(b)Β Each
Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of such Borrower undertaken herein
might be construed to consist, at least in part, of the guaranty of obligations
of the other Borrowers and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower
consents and agrees that the Lender may, at any time and from time to time,
without notice or demand, whether before or after any actual or purported
termination, repudiation or revocation of this Agreement by any Borrower, and
without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof as
to
such Borrower: (i) with the consent of the other Borrowers, supplement, restate,
modify, amend, increase, decrease, extend, renew or otherwise change the time
for payment or the terms of this Agreement or any part thereof, including any
increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (ii) supplement,
restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease or waive, or enter into or give
any
agreement, approval or consent with respect to, this Agreement or any part
thereof, or any of the Security Documents, or any condition, covenant, default,
remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (iii) accept
partial payments; (iv) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to
perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or enforce any security
or
guarantees, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof as the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine; (v)
release any person from any personal liability with respect to this Agreement
or
any part thereof, (vi) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Required Lenders
or by operation of applicable law or otherwise liquidate or enforce any security
or guaranty in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid
and
purchase at any sale; or (vii) consent to the merger, change or any other
restructuring or termination of the corporate or partnership existence of any
Borrower or any other person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations
evidenced hereby, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination
shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing effectiveness
hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the
obligations evidenced hereby.
Β
-
109
-
Β
(c)Β Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of Lenders may enforce
this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and
independently of any other remedy or security the Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or the Lenders at any time may have or hold in connection
with
the obligations evidenced hereby, and it shall not be necessary for the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to marshal assets in favor of any
Borrower or any other person or to proceed upon or against or exhaust any
security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement. Each Borrower
expressly waives any right to require Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed
against any other Borrower or any Collateral provided by any Person, and agrees
that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may proceed against Borrowers or
any Collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute
discretion.
Β
(d)Β Lenders'
rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of
this
Agreement shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account
of a Borrowers' obligations to Lenders which thereafter shall be required to
be
restored or returned by Lenders, all as though such amount had not been
paid.
Β
(e)Β To
the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower expressly waives
any
and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any
disability or other defense of the other Borrowers with respect to the
obligations evidenced hereby, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any
security or guaranty for the obligations evidenced hereby or the lack of
perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security
for
the obligations evidenced hereby, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever
of the liability of the other Borrowers (other than by reason of the full
payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any act or omission of Lenders
or Agents or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge
or release of any Borrower or the Obligations evidenced hereby or any security
or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (v) the avoidance of
any
lien in favor of Lenders or Agents for any reason, or (vi) any action taken
by
Lenders or Agents that is authorized by this Section or any other provision
hereof or of any Security Document. Until such time, if any, as all of the
Obligations have been paid and performed in full and no portion of any
Commitments under any agreement remains in effect, no Borrower shall have any
right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity, and each
Borrower expressly waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lenders or Agents
now have or hereafter may have against any other Person and waives the benefit
of, or any right to participate in, any Collateral now or hereafter held by
Lenders or Agents.
Β
(f)Β Each
of
the Persons composing Borrowers waives all rights and defenses arising out
of an
election of remedies by either Agent or any Lender, even though that election
of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a
guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Agent's or such Lender's rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against such Borrower by the operation of Section
580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
Β
(g)Β Each
of
the Persons composing Borrowers waives all rights and defenses that such
Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This
means, among other things:
Β
-
110
-
Β
(i)Β Agents
and Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any
real
or personal property Collateral pledged by Borrowers.
Β
(ii)Β If
an
Agent or any Lender forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by
Borrowers:
Β
A.Β The
amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that
Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth
more
than the sale price.
Β
B.Β Agents
and Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if Agents or Lenders, by
foreclosing on the real property Collateral, has destroyed any right such
Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.
Β
This
is
an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Borrower
may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. These rights
and
defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon
Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.
Β
Section
13.18Β Β EMHC
as Agent for Borrowers.
Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints EMHC as the borrowing agent and
attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the "Borrower
Representative")
which
appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Billing Agent shall have received
prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been
revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Borrower Representative.
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Borrower Representative
(i) to provide Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Billing Agent and Lenders
with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the
benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this
Agreement and (ii) to take such action as Borrower Representative deems
appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise
such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes
of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loans and
Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein,
is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the
collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical
manner and at their request, and that Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent,
Billing Agent and Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result
hereof.
Β
Section
13.19Β Β Integration;

in the Original Credit Agreement, the A&R Credit Agreement, and the Second
A&R Credit Agreement. All Indebtedness of the Borrowers under the Original
Credit Agreement, the A&R Credit Agreement, and the Second A&R Credit
Agreement shall hereafter constitute Obligations subject to this
Agreement.
Β
(c)Β This
Agreement shall become effective only upon acceptance and execution of this
Agreement by Collateral Agent in Santa Monica, California, after its receipt
in
Santa Monica, California, of counterparts of this Agreement executed by
