exercise by Lender of the voting rights in the Pledged Securities, the Pledged
Partnership Interest or the Pledged Limited Liability Company Interests or of
any other rights or remedies in respect of the Collateral hereunder except (1)
as may be required in connection with any disposition of Collateral consisting
of securities by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally,
and (2) as may be required by the FCC Rules and the Comunications Act.
9. Copyrights.
(a) Royalties. Each Grantor hereby agrees that the use by Lender of
the Copyrights as authorized hereunder in connection with Lender's exercise of
their rights and remedies hereunder shall be without any liability for royalties
or other related charges from Lender to Grantors.
(b) Restrictions on Future Agreements. Subject to the terms hereof
and of the Loan Agreement, each Grantor shall be permitted to manage, license
and administer its Copyrights in such manner as such Grantor in its reasonable
business judgment deems desirable, provided, however, that such Grantor will
not, without the Lender's prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, (i) enter into any copyright license agreements except
license agreements entered into in the ordinary course
-10-
of its business consistent with past practices and containing such additional
provisions to protect Lender's interest hereunder as Lender may from time to
time reasonably request or (ii) take any action, or permit any action to be
taken by others, including, without limitation, licensees, or fail to take any
action, which would customarily be taken by a Person in the same business and in
similar circumstances as such Grantor, which could in any respect reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Duties of Grantors. Each Grantor shall have the duty to: (i)
prosecute diligently any copyright application included in the Copyrights, (ii)
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the
request of Lender, make application for registration of such uncopyrighted but
copyrightable material owned by such Grantor as Lender reasonably deems
appropriate if the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (iii) place notices of copyright on all copyrightable
property produced or owned by such Grantor embodying the Copyrights and use
diligent reasonable efforts to have its licensees do the same and (iv) take all
reasonable action necessary in such Grantor's reasonable business judgment
consistent with past practices to preserve and maintain all of Grantor's rights
in the Copyrights that are or shall be necessary in the operation of Grantor's
business, including, without limitation, making timely filings for renewals and
extensions of registered Copyrights and diligently monitoring unauthorized use
thereof, unless the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Any expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing
shall be borne by Grantors. Lender shall have no duty with respect to the
Copyrights other than to act lawfully and without gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall not
be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the
Copyrights against any other parties, but Lender may do so at its option upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all
reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole
account of Grantors and shall be added to the Obligations.
10. Patents and Marks.
(a) Royalties. Each Grantor hereby agrees that any rights granted
hereunder to Lender with respect to Patents and Marks shall be applicable to all
jurisdictions in which such Grantor has the right to use such Patents and Marks,
from time to time, and without any liability for royalties or other related
charges from Lender to Grantors.
(b) Restrictions on Future Agreements. Each Grantor will not,
without Lender's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, abandon any Patent or Xxxx in which such Grantor now owns or hereafter
acquires any rights or interests if such abandonment could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or enter into any agreement,
including, without limitation, any license agreement, which is inconsistent with
such Grantor's obligations under this Agreement, if such actions could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor further
agrees that it will not take any action, or permit any action to be taken by
others subject to its control, including licensees, or fail to take any action
which would customarily be taken by a Person in the same business and in similar
circumstances as such Grantor, which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Duties of Grantors. Each Grantor shall have the duty to (i)
prosecute diligently any patent application or trademark application pending as
of the date hereof or thereafter until the Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full and Lender has no obligation to make any Loans under
the Loan Agreement, (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, make application on unpatented but patentable inventions owned
by such Grantor and on
-11-
Marks, as the case may be, as Lender reasonably deems appropriate, (iii) file
and prosecute opposition and cancellation proceedings if the failure to do so
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) take all
reasonable action necessary in such Grantor's reasonable business judgment
consistent with past practices to preserve and maintain all rights in patent
applications of the Patents and in applications for registrations of the Marks
unless the failure so to do could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Any expenses incurred in connection with such applications shall
be borne by Grantors. Each Grantor shall not abandon any right to file a Patent
application or Xxxx application without the consent of Lender (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withhold) if such abandonment could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor shall give proper
statutory notice in connection with its use of each of the Marks to the extent
necessary for the protection of each of the Marks. Grantors shall notify the
Lender of any suits it commences to enforce the Patents and Marks and shall
provide Lender with copies of any documents reasonably requested by Lender
relating to such suits.
9. Grantors' Covenants. In addition to the other covenants and agreements
set forth herein and in the other Operative Documents, each Grantor covenants
and agrees as follows:
(a) Such Grantor will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges,
Liens and assessments against the Collateral owned by it, except those with
respect to which the amount or validity is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with
GAAP have been provided on the books of such Grantor and except those which
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Collateral will not be used in violation of any material
law, regulation or ordinance or any applicable laws (including without
limitation, all applicable regulations, rules and orders), nor used in any way
that will void or impair any insurance required to be carried in connection
therewith.
(c) Such Grantor will keep the Collateral in reasonably good repair,
working order and operating condition (normal wear and tear excluded), and from
time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements,
additions and improvements thereto and, as appropriate and applicable, will
otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways as are considered customary
practice by owners of like property.
(d) Such Grantor will take all reasonable steps to preserve and
protect the Collateral except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Such Grantor will maintain all insurance coverage required
pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Loan Agreement.
(f) Such Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing in the event
of any material damage to the Collateral from any source whatsoever.
(g) Such Grantor will not (i) establish any location of Collateral
not listed in Schedule 1-A, (ii) move its principal place of business, chief
executive offices or any other office listed in Schedule 1-F or (iii) adopt, use
or conduct business under any trade name or other corporate or fictitious name
not disclosed in Schedule 1-G, except upon not less than 30 days prior written
notice to Lender and such Grantor's prior compliance with all applicable
requirements of Section 4 hereof necessary to perfect Lender's security interest
hereunder.
-12-
(h) Subject to the provisions of Section 13(j) hereof, such Grantor
agrees to take any action which Lender may reasonably request in order to obtain
from the FCC such approval as may be necessary to enable Lender to exercise and
enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to them by this Agreement, including
the use of such Grantor's best efforts to assist in obtaining the approval of
the FCC for any action or transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any
other Operative Document for which such approval is required by law.
(i) Such Grantor shall cause all of its equipment constituting
Collateral to be operated and maintained in accordance with any applicable
manufacturer's manuals or instructions and the requirements of its insurance
policies. Such Grantor, at its expense, shall maintain such equipment in good
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will comply with all laws,
ordinances and regulations to which the use and operation of such equipment may
be or become subject. Such obligation shall extend to repair and replacement of
any partial loss or damage to such equipment, regardless of the cause. If
maintenance is mandated by the manufacturer, such Grantor shall obtain and keep
in effect at all times during the Term maintenance service contracts with the
vendor of such equipment or suppliers approved by Lessor, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld. All parts furnished in connection with such
maintenance or repair shall immediately become part of such equipment. All such
maintenance, repair and replacement services shall be immediately paid for and
discharged by such Grantor with the result that no lien will attach to such
equipment. Only qualified personnel of such Grantor or qualified contract
personnel shall operate such equipment. Such equipment shall be used only for
the purposes for which it was designed. Upon prior written notice to Lessor,
such Grantor may make improvements, modifications or additions to such
equipment; provided, that if such improvements, modifications or additions are
not capable of being removed without causing material damage to such equipment,
then Lessor's prior written consent shall be required. Upon the return of such
equipment, such Grantor shall, at its expense, restore such equipment to the
original configuration in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications;
provided, that, with Lessor's prior written consent, such Grantor may return
such equipment as so improved, modified or added to.
(j) Such Grantor shall not establish any additional Deposit Account
not listed on Schedule 1-B, or any investment, securities, brokerage or similar
account, except upon prior written notice to Lender and, at Lender's request,
such Grantor's compliance with all applicable requirements of Section 4 hereof
necessary to perfect Lender's security interest hereunder, including without
limitation, delivery to the applicable depositary institution of a notice of
such security interest in Grantor's Deposit Account(s), in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender.
(k) Such Grantor shall maintain not more than $10,000 in any Deposit
Account including, without limitation, those listed on Schedule 1-B attached
hereto (unless it is indicated on Schedule 1-B that such account holds or may
hold in excess of $10,000); provided, however, that such Grantor may maintain in
excess of $10,000 in any Deposit Account if it gives prior written notice to
Lender and, at Lender's request, such Grantor complies with all applicable
requirements of Section 4 hereof necessary to perfect Lender's security interest
hereunder, including without limitation, delivery to the applicable depositary
institution of a notice of such security interest in Grantor's Deposit
Account(s), in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
10. Lender's Rights Regarding Collateral. At any time and from time to
time, Lender may, to the extent necessary or desirable to protect the security
hereunder, but Lender shall not be obligated to: (a) (whether or not a Default
has occurred) itself or through its representatives, at its own expense, upon
reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during usual business hours,
visit and inspect any of the
-13-
Grantors' properties and examine and make abstracts from any of its books and
records at any reasonable time and as often as may reasonably be desired and
discuss the business, operations, properties and financial and other condition
of any of the Grantors with officers of such Grantors and with their accountants
or (b) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the expense of
the Grantors, perform any obligation of any of the Grantors under this
Agreement. At any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Grantors,
Lender may, to the extent necessary or desirable to protect the security
hereunder, but Lender shall not be obligated to: (i) notify obligors of the
Collateral that the Collateral has been pledged as security to Lender; (ii)
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time and from
time to time request from obligors of the Collateral, in the name of the
applicable Grantor or in the name of Lender, information concerning the
Collateral and the amounts owing thereon; and (iii) after an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, direct obligors under the contracts included in
the Collateral to direct their performance to Lender. Each Grantor shall keep
proper books and records and accounts in which full, true and correct entries in
conformity with GAAP and all applicable laws (including without limitation, all
applicable regulations, rules and orders) shall be made of all material dealings
and transactions pertaining to the Collateral. Lender shall at all reasonable
times on reasonable notice have full access to and the right to audit any and
all of Grantors' books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to confirm
and verify the value of the Collateral. Lender shall not be under any duty or
obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against
any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any
voting rights or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral or to make or
give any presentments for payment, demands for performance, notices of
non-performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor or notices of
any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Collateral or the
Obligations. Lender shall not be under any duty or obligation whatsoever to take
any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of the Grantors'
therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in
any foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith. Nothing contained
herein or in any consent shall constitute an assumption by Lender of any of the
Grantors' obligations under the contracts assigned hereunder unless Lender shall
have given written notice to the counterpart to such assigned contract of
Lender's intention to assume such contract. Each Grantor shall continue to be
liable for performance of its obligations under such contracts.
11. Collections on the Collateral. Except as provided to the contrary in
the Loan Agreement, each Grantor shall have the right to use and to continue to
make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of all of the
Collateral in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Lender, each Grantor's
right to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of the
Collateral and to use or dispose of such collections and proceeds shall
terminate, and any and all dividends, proceeds and collections, including all
partial or total prepayments, then held or thereafter received on or on account
of the Collateral will be held or received by such Grantor in trust for Lender
and immediately delivered in kind to Lender (duly endorsed to Lender, if
required), to be applied to the obligations or held as Collateral, as Lender
shall elect. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the right at all times to receive, receipt for,
endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of any of the Grantors, any
and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money
constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral; and each
Grantor hereby authorizes Lender to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise,
the general or special endorsement of such Grantor, in such manner as Lender
shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been
delivered to or obtained by Lender without appropriate endorsement, and Lender
and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be
a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by such Grantor, to the same
extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized representative
of such Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what
authority such endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or
responsibility as to such matters,
-14-
and such Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice
of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with
respect to any such instrument.
12. Possession of Collateral by Lender. All the Collateral now,
heretofore or hereafter delivered to Lender shall be held by Lender in its
possession, custody and control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Lender's
possession, custody or control, Lender may use, operate and consume the
Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the
Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of the Grantors' obligations
with respect thereto, or otherwise so long as consistent with the Operative
Documents or transactions contemplated thereby. Lender may at any time deliver
or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to the Grantors, and the receipt
of any of the same by the Grantors shall be complete and full acquittance for
the Collateral so delivered, and Lender thereafter shall be discharged from any
liability or responsibility arising after such delivery to the Grantors. So long
as Lender exercises reasonable care and complies with Section 9207 of the UCC
with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, Lender
shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to any Collateral, and in no
event shall Lender have liability for any diminution in value of Collateral
occasioned by economic or market conditions or events.
13. Remedies. Provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed to give Lender or any purchaser of the Collateral the right to operate
or control any aspect of the business of any of the Grantors that requires an
FCC License without the prior consent of the FCC, to the extent required by law
or the terms of any FCC License or the FCC Rules:
(a) Rights Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantors shall be in default hereunder
and, subject to applicable law, Lender shall have, in any jurisdiction where
enforcement is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Lender
may have under this Agreement and under applicable laws or in equity, all rights
and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in
any such jurisdiction in effect at that time, and in addition the following
rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without further
notice to the Grantors except such notice as may be specifically required by
applicable law: (i) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created
hereunder or under any other Operative Document by any available judicial
procedure or without judicial process; (ii) to enter any premises where any
Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying,
appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing,
taking possession of or removing the same; (iii) to sell, assign, lease or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or
private sale or at any broker's board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or
otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as
shall be commercially reasonable; (iv) to notify obligors on the Collateral that
the Collateral has been assigned to Lender and that all payments thereon, or
performance with respect thereto, are to be made directly and exclusively to
Lender; (v) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends,
distributions, interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon
or on account of the Collateral; (vi) to enter into any extension,
reorganization, disposition, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other
agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith
Lender may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other
property in exchange for the Collateral as Lender reasonably deems appropriate
and is commercially reasonable; (vii) to settle, compromise or release, on terms
acceptable to Lender, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral
and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (viii) to extend the time of payment,
make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the
Collateral in the name of the applicable Grantor for the benefit of Lender; (ix)
to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or
all of the Collateral and take or bring, on behalf of itself or in the name of
the applicable Grantor, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed
necessary or reasonably desirable by Lender to
-15-
effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral,
including any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and each
Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of
the Collateral or any other action taken by Lender which may release any obligor
from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and each Grantor waives, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, any right to receive notice of any
public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or
any of the Collateral, and any money or other property received by Lender in
exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections
or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or
foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Lender or any of the
Grantors, may be applied by Lender, without notice to the Grantors, to the
Obligations in such order and manner as Lender in their sole discretion shall
determine; (x) to insure, protect and preserve the Collateral; (xi) to exercise
all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the Operative
Documents; and (xii) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located,
the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and
any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral,
and Lender may, at the cost and expense of the Grantors, use such of its
supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be
necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control,
prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the Collateral or to
properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations
thereon, and Lender shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises
of the Grantors for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably
required by Lender. So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Grantor will, at Lender's request, assemble the Collateral and
make it available to Lender at places which Lender may designate, whether at the
premises of such Grantor or elsewhere, and will make available to Lender, free
of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of such Grantor for the purpose
of Lender's taking possession of the Collateral or storing the same or removing
or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of the same.
(b) Possession by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender also shall have the right, without
notice or demand, either in person, by Lender or by a receiver to be appointed
by a court in accordance with the provisions of applicable law (and each Grantor
hereby expressly consents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to the
appointment of such a receiver), and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, to take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive the
rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof. The taking possession of
the Collateral by Lender shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice
thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. The rights, remedies
and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said
court.
(c) Sale of Collateral. Any public or private sale or other
disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of Lender, or at the
Grantors' places of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable law,
and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective
purchasers. Lender may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or
portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine
provided such sale is commercially reasonable, and each Grantor expressly
waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any right to direct the order
and manner of sale of any Collateral. Lender or any Person acting on Lender's
behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition. In
furtherance of Lender's rights hereunder, each Grantor hereby grants to Lender
an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without royalty or other
payment by Lender) to use, license or sublicense any patent, trademark, trade
name, copyright or other intellectual property in which Grantor now or hereafter
has any right, title or interest together with the right of access to all media
in which any of the foregoing may be recorded or stored; provided, however, that
such license shall only be
-16-
exercisable in connection with the disposition of Collateral upon Lender's
exercise of its remedies hereunder.
(d) Notice of Sale. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens
to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market, Lender will give the Grantors reasonable notice of the time and place of
any public sale thereof or of the time on or after which any private sale
thereof is to be made. The requirement of reasonable notice conclusively shall
be met if: (i) such notice is mailed, certified mail, postage prepaid, to the
Grantors at their addresses set forth on the signature page hereto or delivered
or otherwise sent to the Grantors, at least five (5) Business Days before the
date of the sale or (ii) if Grantors have previously executed any applications
for consent to the assignment of any FCC Licenses or for consent to the transfer
of control of any holder of such licenses. Each Grantor expressly waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to receive notice of any
public or private sale of any Collateral or other security for the Obligations
except as expressly provided for in this paragraph. Lender shall not be
obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so
regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been
given. Lender may, without notice or publication, except as required by
applicable law, adjourn the sale from time to time by announcement at the time
and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice (except as
required by applicable law), be made at the time and place to which the same was
so adjourned.
(e) Private Sales. With respect to any Collateral consisting of
securities, partnership interests, limited liability company interests, joint
venture interests or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has
been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
other applicable laws, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all
or any part of such Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such
circumstances as Lender may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale
may be lawfully conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Without limiting
the foregoing, Lender may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of
potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to
persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof. In the event that any such Collateral is sold at private sale,
each Grantor agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law that if such
Collateral is sold for a price which is commercially reasonable, then (A) the
Grantors shall not be entitled to a credit against the Obligations in an amount
in excess of the purchase price, and (B) Lender shall not incur any liability or
responsibility to the Grantors in connection therewith, notwithstanding the
possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a
public sale. Each Grantor recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such
Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange,
and that a sale by Lender of any such Collateral for an amount substantially
less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer's assets minus
liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may
be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or
Collateral that is privately traded.
(f) Title of Purchasers. Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral
hereunder, Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at
any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim
or right upon the part of any Grantor or any other Person claiming through any
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable
laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at
any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, Lender shall not be required to apply any portion
of the sale price to the Obligations until such amount actually is received by
Lender, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the sale
price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof. Lender shall not
incur any liability in case any
-17-
such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and,
in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold again.
(g) Disposition of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds resulting from the
collection, liquidation, sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be
applied, first, to the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for
sale, selling, collecting and liquidating the Collateral, and the like; second,
to the satisfaction of all Obligations; and third, any surplus remaining after
the satisfaction of all Obligations, to be paid over to the Grantors or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(h) Certain Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against Lender arising out of the
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof,
except to the extent any such claims, damages and awards arise out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(i) Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided under this
Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are
not exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided by law or equity.
(j) Compliance with Communications Act and FCC Rules and
Regulations.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any
foreclosure on, sale, transfer or other disposition of, or the exercise of any
right to vote or consent with respect to, any of the Collateral as provided
herein or any other action taken or proposed to be taken by Lender hereunder
which would affect the operational, voting or other control of any entity
holding an FCC License shall be made in accordance with the Communications Act,
the terms of each FCC License, and any applicable FCC Rules, including any
requirement that there be a public or private sale.
(ii) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Grantor shall take any action which Lender may request in the
exercise of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, the execution and delivery of any documents requested by Lender, in
order to transfer and assign to Lender or to one or more third parties as Lender
may designate, including, but not limited to, a receiver or trustee or to a
combination of the foregoing, the Collateral for the purposes of a public or
private sale. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, each Grantor shall further use its best efforts to assist in obtaining
the approval of the FCC (and that required by any other Governmental Authority)
for any action or transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including without
limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with the FCC of the assignor's
or transferor's portion of any application or applications for consent to the
assignment of any FCC License or transfer of control of any entity holding or
controlling any FCC License as may be necessary or appropriate under the FCC
Rules. Each Grantor further agrees that, because of the unique nature of its
undertaking in this Section 13(j), the same may be specifically enforced, and it
hereby waives, and agrees to waive, any claim or defense that Lender would have
an adequate remedy at law for the breach of this undertaking and any requirement
for the posting of bond or other security. Each Grantor hereby agrees that in
the event that such Grantor has been given five Business Days' prior written
notice telecopied to its telecopier number set forth on the signature page
hereto and such Grantor has not responded by executing any such applications or
other instruments, the clerk of the court of any court of competent jurisdiction
may execute in the place of such Grantor any application or other instrument
necessary or appropriate for the obtaining of such consent. This Section 13(j)
shall not be deemed to limit any other rights of Lender available under
applicable law and consistent with the Communications Act and the applicable FCC
Rules.
-18-
14. Notice. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to give the Grantors
prior written notice of the exercise of any remedy provided for herein, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not subject Lender to liability and

this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement shall govern.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall

-19-
20. Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Each Grantor
warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are
made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the
understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may
diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Grantor
otherwise may have against Lender or others, or against any Collateral. If any
of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be unenforceable under
applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum
extent permitted by law.
21. Indemnity. Each Grantor shall indemnify, reimburse
and hold Lender, each of Lender's members, and each of their respective
successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, shareholders, servants, agents
and employees harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, damages,
actions, suits, demands, claims of any kind and nature (including claims
relating to environmental discharge, cleanup or compliance), all costs and
expenses whatsoever to the extent they may be incurred or suffered by such
indemnified party in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses), fines, penalties (and other charges of applicable governmental
authorities), licensing fees relating to any item of Collateral, damage to or
loss of use of property (including consequential or special damages to third
parties or damages to Borrower's property), or bodily injury to or death of any
person (including any agent or employee of Borrower) (each, a "Claim"), directly
or indirectly relating to or arising out of the use of the proceeds of the Loan,
the falsity of any representation or warranty of such Grantor or such Grantor's
failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Operative
Document during the Term. The foregoing indemnity shall cover, without
limitation, (i) any Claim in connection with a design or other defect (latent or
patent) in any item of equipment included in the Collateral, (ii) any Claim for
infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property
right, (iii) any Claim resulting from the presence on or under or the escape,
seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release of any Hazardous
Materials on the premises of such Grantor, including any Claims asserted or
arising under any Environmental Law, or (iv) any Claim for negligence or strict
or absolute liability in tort; provided, however, that such Grantor shall not
indemnify Lender for any liability incurred by Lender as a result of Lender's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such indemnities shall continue in full
force and effect, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this
Agreement. Upon an indemnitee's written demand, such Grantor shall assume and
diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the entire defense of Lender,
each of its members, and each of their respective agents, employees, directors,
officers, shareholders, successors and assigns, using counsel reasonably
acceptable to such indemnitee against any indemnified Claim. Such Grantor shall
not settle or compromise any Claim against or involving Lender without first
obtaining Lender's written consent thereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If Lender elects to assume its own defense in connection
with an indemnified Claim, then Lender shall not settle or compromise such Claim
without first obtaining such Grantor's written consent thereto, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that if such Grantor does not
consent thereto, then Borrower shall post security or a bond in the amount of
such Claim for the benefit of the Lender.
22. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Grantors herefrom (other than
supplements to the Schedules hereto in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement) shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and made in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Loan Agreement, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given.
23. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be given in the manner and to the addresses set forth either in the Loan
Agreement or in the Guaranty dated as of even date herewith made by the
Grantors.
-20-
24. Continuing Security Interest: Transfer of Notes; Termination. This
Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall (i) remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination or expiration of Lender's obligation to make
Loans under the Loan Agreement, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, their
successors and assigns and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
Lender hereunder, to the benefit of Lender and any successor Lender, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Loan
Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loan, or any rights
in Collateral held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such
Lender or Lender herein or otherwise. Nothing set forth herein or in any other
Operative Document is intended or shall be construed to give to any other party
any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any
other Operative Document or any Collateral. The Grantors' successors and assigns
shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession
thereof or therefor, provided that, except as otherwise permitted under the Loan
Agreement or any other Operative Document, none of the rights or obligations of
the Grantors hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the
prior written consent of Lender.
25. Release of the Grantors. This Agreement and all obligations of each
Grantor hereunder and all security interests granted hereby shall be released
and terminated when all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and when
Lender's obligation to make Loans under the Loan Agreement has expired or have
otherwise been terminated. Upon such release and termination of all Obligations
and the security interest hereunder, all rights in and to the Collateral granted
or pledged by the Grantors hereunder shall automatically revert to the Grantors,
and Lender shall return any pledged Collateral in their possession to the
Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall

all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral
to the Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to

Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, the

accordance with the laws of the State of California (without reference to its
choice of law provisions), except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions
of law and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the State of California are governed by the laws of such
