time and from time to time during the period (the "Commitment Period") beginning
on the Closing Date and ending on the Commitment Termination Date, Lender shall
make the Loan to Borrower in the principal amount of up to $3,500,000. Borrower
shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely for the purposes described in Section
5.7.
(b) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 3,
during the Commitment Period Lender shall disburse proceeds of the Loan to
Borrower on each date (an
3
"Advance Date") that is designated by Borrower by a notice requesting such
disbursement given to Lender at least three Business Days before such Advance
Date. Such notice shall state the principal amount requested to be disbursed
and must be accompanied by (i) a certificate of Borrower signed on its behalf by
its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer certifying that the
conditions to the obligation of Lender to make such advance, as set forth in
Article 3, will be satisfied as of the Advance Date and (ii) the items
prescribed by Section 3.7 to the extent applicable to such advance.
(c) Borrower's obligation to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by a
promissory note of Borrower (the "Note") in the form attached as Exhibit A. On
the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Note, executed by
Borrower.
2.2 Interest.
--------
(a) Interest. The Loan shall bear interest from the Closing Date on
--------
the Outstanding Principal until such amount is repaid at the rate of 12 1/2% per
annum. Borrower shall, on the Commitment Termination Date, pay Lender all
accrued interest on Outstanding Principal accrued through such date. Any
payment of principal, interest or any fee, expense or other payment payable by
Borrower hereunder that is not paid when due shall bear interest from the due
date thereof until the date such payment is made in full at the rate of 15% per
annum.
(b) Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed for the
-----------------------
actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. If the amount of
interest payable on any interest payment date in respect of the immediately
preceding interest computation period would exceed the maximum amount permitted
by applicable Legal Requirements to be charged by Lender, the amount of interest
payable on such interest payment date shall automatically be reduced to such
maximum permissible amount. If the amount of interest payable in respect of any
interest computation period is reduced pursuant to the foregoing sentence and
the amount of interest payable for Lender's account in respect of any subsequent
interest computation period would be less than the maximum amount permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements to be charged by Lender, then the amount of
interest payable in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall
be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at
no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid has been increased
exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid has theretofore been reduced.
2.3 Payments.
--------
(a) Payment of Loan. Borrower (i) shall pay interest accrued on the
---------------
Loan as provided in Section 2.2(a) and (ii) shall pay the Outstanding Principal
as of the Commitment Termination Date and all interest thereon in 36 equal
monthly installments, commencing on July 1, 1997 and thereafter on the first day
of each month until the Maturity Date. All payments on the Loan shall be
applied first to the payment of unpaid interest and the balance, if any, to
Outstanding Principal. Amounts repaid by Borrower may not be reborrowed.
4
(b) Optional Prepayment. Borrower may, at any time, prepay the Loan in
-------------------
whole or in part, without penalty or premium.
(c) Payments. All payments made to Lender under this Agreement,
--------
whether for interest, principal, fees, expenses or late charges shall be made in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated by Lender
or, if no such account is designated, by delivery to Lender at Lender's address
for notices as set forth in this Agreement and shall be made prior to noon
Colorado time on the date of the scheduled payment. All payments received after
noon Colorado time shall be considered to have been received on the next
Business Day. If the due date of any payment falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment shall instead be due the next succeeding Business
Day.

Security Interest
-----------------
8.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and
--------------------------
performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security
interest in all of Borrower's right, title and interest in the following
(collectively, the "Collateral"):
(a) all tuners, remote control devices and other equipment designed
for use by Borrower's customers in receiving Borrower's music services;
(b) all agreements with commercial subscribers to Borrower's music
services, including accounts receivable or other rights to payment arising from
goods sold or leased or services rendered under such agreements; and
(c) all proceeds from the sale, exchange, lease or other disposition
of any asset that constitutes Collateral.
8.2 Collections.
-----------
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower shall have the right to collect all accounts receivable
included in the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business; provided that
Borrower shall, if Lender shall so request, (i) arrange for remittances on any
such accounts receivable to be made directly to lock boxes or blocked accounts
designated by Lender or in such other manner as Lender may direct, and (ii)
promptly deposit all payments received by Borrower on account of such accounts
receivable, whether in the form of cash, checks, notes, drafts, bills of
exchange, money orders or otherwise, in one or more accounts designated by
Lender in precisely the form received (but with any endorsements of Borrower
necessary for deposit or collection), subject to withdrawal by Lender only, as
hereinafter provided, and until they are deposited, such payments shall be
deemed to be held in trust by Borrower for and as Lender's property and shall
not be commingled with Borrower's other funds.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the right, as the agent of Borrower, with power of
substitution for Borrower and in Borrower's name, Lender's name or otherwise,
for the use and benefit of Lender (i) to receive, endorse, assign or deliver any
and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of
payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (ii) to demand, collect,
receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or
any of the Collateral; (iii) to sign the name of Borrower on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇
of lading relating to any of the Collateral;
12
(iv) to send verifications of accounts receivable to any customer; (v) to
commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in
equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on
all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any
Collateral; (vi) to settle, compromise, adjust or defend any actions, suits or
proceedings relating to or pertaining to all or any of the Collateral; (vii) to
notify, or to require Borrower to notify, the account debtors obligated on any
accounts receivable to make payment thereof directly to Lender; and (viii) to
use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and
things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and
completely as though Lender were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all
purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring
or obligating Lender to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the
nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Lender, or to present or file
any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any
property covered thereby, and no action taken by Lender or omitted to be taken
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any
defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of Borrower or to any claim or action
against Lender in the absence of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
Lender. The appointment of Lender as the agent of Borrower for the purposes set
forth in this Section 8.2 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The
provisions of this Section 8.2 shall in no event relieve Borrower of any of its
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Collateral or any part
thereof or impose any obligation on Lender to proceed in any particular manner
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the
exercise by Lender of any other or further right which it may have on the date
of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder or by law or otherwise.
8.3 Remedies upon Default.
---------------------
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall deliver each item of Collateral to Lender on demand, and
it is agreed that Lender shall have the right to take any or all of the
following actions at the same or different times: (i) with or without legal
process and with or without previous notice or demand for performance, to take
possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass (as to the
property of Borrower) to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located
for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral; and (ii)
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Legal Requirements. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, subject
to the applicable Legal Requirements, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any
part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on
any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as Lender
shall deem appropriate. As to any Collateral constituting a security, Lender
shall be authorized at any such sale (if it reasonably deems it advisable to do
so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will
represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own
account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof.
Upon consummation of any sale Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer
and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each
purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the
13
property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Borrower,
and Borrower hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which Borrower now
has or may at any time in the future have under any Legal Requirement now
existing or hereafter enacted.
(b) Lender shall give Borrower at least 10 days' written notice
(which Borrower agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section
9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code) of Borrower's intention to make any
sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the
time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board or
on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale
is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will
first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall
be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place
or places as Lender may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At
any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one
lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Lender may determine. Lender shall
not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to
do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice,
be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any
sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future
delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the sale price
is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but Lender shall not incur any
liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay
for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may
be sold again upon like notice. At any public sale, Lender may bid for or
purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) from
any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of Borrower (all such
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for
sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and
payable to Lender from Borrower as a credit against the purchase price, and
Lender may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of
such property without further accountability to Borrower therefor. As an
alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, Lender may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose on and to sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or
courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-
appointed receiver. In any event, Lender shall have the right to claim and
collect from Borrower any deficiency remaining after sale of any Collateral.
8.4 Application of Proceeds. Lender shall apply the proceeds of any
-----------------------
collection or sale of the Collateral as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection
with this Agreement or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and
the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the
repayment of all advances made by Lender hereunder on behalf
14
of Borrower and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations, in accordance with this
Agreement; and
THIRD, to Borrower, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
Lender shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale
of the Collateral by Lender (including, pursuant to a power of sale granted by
statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of Lender or of the officer
making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers
of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over
to Lender or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof.
8.5 Locations of Collateral; Place of Business.
------------------------------------------
(a) Borrower hereby represents and warrants that all the tangible
Collateral (other than Collateral that is equipment located at premises occupied
by subscribers to Borrower's music services) is located at the locations listed
on Schedule 8.5. Borrower shall not establish, or permit to be established, any
other location for Collateral unless all filings under the Uniform Commercial
Code or otherwise which are required by this Agreement to be made with respect
to the Collateral have been made and Lender has a valid, legal and perfected
first priority security interest in the Collateral.
(b) At such time or times as Lender may request, Borrower shall
promptly prepare and deliver to Lender a schedule or schedules in form
satisfactory to Lender, certified on behalf of Borrower by the president or a
vice president of Borrower, showing the identity, amount and location of any and
all Collateral.
(c) Borrower shall not change, or permit to be changed, the location
of its chief executive office unless all filings under the Uniform Commercial
Code or otherwise which are required by this Credit Agreement to be made have
been made and Lender has a valid, legal and perfected first priority security
interest.
