5. Rights of Lender. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may declare all of the
Obligations immediately due and payable and shall then have the rights and
remedies of a secured parry under the Uniform Commercial Code and under any
other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take
possession of the Collateral, and in addition thereto, the right to enter upon
any premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and
remove the same therefrom. The Lender may require the Borrower to make the
Collateral (to the extent the same is moveable) available to the Lender at a
place to be designated by the Lender which is reasonably convenient to both
parties. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in
value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Lender will
give the Borrower at least ten (10) days prior written notice at the address of
the Borrower set forth below (or at such other address as the Borrower shall
specify in writing to the Lender) of the rime and place of any public sale
thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition thereof is to be made. Any such notice shall be deemed to meet any
requirement hereunder or under any applicable law (including the Uniform
Commercial Code) that reasonable notification be given of the time and place of
such sale or other disposition. After deducting all costs and expenses of
collection, storage, custody, sale or other disposition and delivery (including
reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) and all other charges against
the Collateral, the residue of the proceeds of any such sale or disposition
shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order as the Lender
shall determine. In the event the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
the Collateral hereunder are insufficient to pay all of the Obligations in full,
the Borrower will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon,
at the maximum rate provided in the Note, and the cost and expenses of
collection of such deficiency, including (to the extent permitted by law),
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements.
The rights of Lender under this Section 5 are subject to the Communications Act
of 1934 as amended and the rites and regulations of the Federal Communications
Commission.
6. Right of Lender to Use and Operate
Collateral, Etc. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, but
subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable
law, including the Communications Act of 1934 as amended and the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, the Lender shall have the
right and power to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, and to
exclude the Borrower and all persons claiming under the Borrower wholly or
partly therefrom, and thereafter to hold, store, and/or use, operate, manage and
control the same. Upon any such taking of possession, the Lender may, from time
to time, at the expense of the Borrower, make all such repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as the Lender
may deem proper. In any such case, the Lender shall have the right to manage and
control the Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights
and powers of the Borrower in respect thereto as the Lender shall deem best,
including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to
the operation of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Lender may see fit;
and the Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive all issues, profits,
fees, revenues and other income of the same and every part thereof. Such issues,
profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay the expenses of
holding and operating the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and
of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements, and to make all payments which the Lender may be required or may
elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon
the Collateral or any part thereof, and all outer payments which the Lender may
be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement
(including reasonable legal costs and reasonable attorneys' fees). The remainder
of such issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to the
payment of the Obligations in such order of priority as the Lender shall
determine and, unless otherwise provided by law or by a court of competent
jurisdiction, any surplus shall be returned to the Borrower or to any person or
party lawfully entitled thereto (including, if applicable, any subordinated
creditors of the Borrower). The Lender shall also have the right to apply for
and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action
taken by the Lender to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in order to
manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the
business of the Borrower 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. Any such receiver shall also
have the right to apply to the Federal Communication Commission for assignment
of the FCC Licenses to it pending their sale and to sell the FCC Licenses and
other Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
7. Lender's Duties. The powers
conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have
no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any steps to preserve rights
pertaining to the Collateral.

construed a bar to or waiver of any such right on any such future occasion. Each
and every right granted to Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
allowed by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to
time.

which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same
therefrom. The Lender may require the Guarantor to make the Collateral (to the
extent the same is moveable) available to the Lender at a place to be designated
by the Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Lender will give the Guarantor
at least ten (10) days prior written notice at the address of the Guarantor set
forth below (or at such other address as the Guarantor shall specify in writing
to the Lender) of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time
after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be
made. Any such notice shall be deemed to meet any requirement hereunder or under
any applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code) that reasonable
notification be given of the time and place of such sale or other disposition.
After deducting all costs and expenses of collection, storage, custody, sale or
other disposition and delivery (including reasonable costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees) and all other charges against the Collateral, the residue of
the proceeds of any such sale or disposition shall be applied to the payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations in such order as the Lender shall determine. In the
event the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder
are insufficient to pay all of the Guaranteed Obligations in full, the Guarantor
will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the
maximum rate provided in the Note, and the cost and expenses of collection of
such deficiency, including (to the extent permitted by law), without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements. The rights of Lender
under this Section 9 are subject to the Communications Act of 1934 as amended
and the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.

Collateral, Etc. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, but

regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, file Lender shall have the
right and power to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, and to
exclude the Guarantor and all persons claiming under the Guarantor wholly or
partly therefrom, and thereafter to hold, store, and/or use, operate, manage and
control the same. Upon any such taking of possession, the Lender may, from time
to time, at the expense of the Guarantor, make all such repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions and improvements to and of the Collateral as the Lender
may deem proper. In any such case, the Lender shall have the right to manage and
control the Collateral and to carry on the business and to exercise all rights
and powers of the Guarantor in respect thereto as the Lender shall deem best,
including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to
the operation of the Collateral or any part thereof as the Lender may see fit;
and the Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive all issues, profits,
fees, revenues and other income of the same and every part thereof. Such issues,
profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to pay the expenses of
holding and operating the Collateral and of conducting the business thereof, and
of all maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and
improvements, and to make all payments which the Leader may be required or may
elect to make, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon
the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments which the Lender may
be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement
(including reasonable legal costs and reasonable attorneys' fees). The remainder
of such issues, profits, fees, revenues and other income shall be applied to the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in such order of priority as the Lender
shall determine and, unless otherwise provided by law or by a court of competent
jurisdiction, any surplus shall be returned to the Guarantor or to any person or
party lawfully entitled thereto (including, if applicable, any subordinated
creditors of the Guarantor). The Lender shall also have the right to apply for
and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action
taken by the Lender to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in order to
manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the
business of the Guarantor 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 Guaranteed Obligations as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of
such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. Any such receiver shall
