20

understood and agreed that the security interest of the Security Agent shall attach to all Collateral Investment Related Property immediately upon Grantor’s acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule 4.4 as required hereby; and

(ii)           except as provided in the next sentence, in the event Grantor receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Collateral Investment Related Property, or any securities or other property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any Collateral Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further action and (b) subject to the materiality threshold set forth in Section 4.4.4(a)(ii), Grantor shall immediately take all steps, if any, necessary or advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of the Security Agent over such Collateral Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Security Agent) and pending any such action Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, securities or other property in trust for the benefit of the Security Agent and shall segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property of Grantor.

(c)           Voting and Distributions.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the Security Agent shall not have made a request under Section 4.4.1(c)(ii) below:

21

(2)                                 the Security Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Grantor all proxies, and other instruments as Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights when and to the extent which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (1) above.

(ii)           Upon request by the Security Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(1)                                 all rights of Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Security Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and

(2)                                 in order to permit the Security Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder:  (1) Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Security Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Security Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (2) Grantor acknowledges that the Security Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 6.1.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or the other Notes Documents, the Security Agent shall not, without first obtaining the approval of the FCC and any other Governmental Authority, take any action that is not permitted by the FCC or other Governmental Authority or any other applicable law, or that would constitute or result in any change of control of Company or an assignment of any Communications License included in the Collateral held by Company if such change in control or assignment would require, under then existing Communications Laws, the prior approval of

31

the FCC and any other Governmental Authority. In an Event of Default, (a) voting rights shall remain with Grantor unless and until the FCC and all other applicable Governmental Authorities have approved the assignment of the Communications Licenses included in the Collateral or transfer of control and (b) subject to any regulatory approvals required by the Communications Laws, there will be either a private or public sale of the pledged shares.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor:

(i)            hereby authorizes the filing of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto and agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or as the Security Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;

(ii)           shall take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in any Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or issued or in which an application for registration or issuance is pending, including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office;

(c)           Grantor hereby authorizes the Security Agent to modify this Agreement after obtaining Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule 4.7 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing Collateral Intellectual Property or any Collateral Intellectual Property acquired or developed by Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Collateral Intellectual Property in which Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.

(b)           Subject to Section 4.9 herein, the Security Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Security Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Security Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or 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.  Grantor agrees that, to

35

the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Security Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Security Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Security Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Security Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Security Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Security Agent to collect such deficiency.  Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Security Agent, that the Security Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Security Agent hereunder.

(c)           The Security Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  The Security Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(d)           The Security Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

7.2          Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Security Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Security Agent, or turned over to the Administrative Agent for application in full or in part by the Administrative Agent, against the Secured Obligations as set forth in Section 6.10 of the Indenture (with references therein to the Administrative Agent to be construed to also apply to the Security Agent).

7.3          Sales on Credit.  If the Security Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Security Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Security Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

36

7.4          Investment Related Property. Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Security Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Collateral Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Security Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Security Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral Investment Related Property, upon written request, Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Security Agent all such information as the Security Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Collateral Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Security Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

7.5          Intellectual Property. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i)            the Security Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of Grantor, the Security Agent or otherwise, in the Security Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Collateral Intellectual Property, in which event Grantor shall, at the request of the Security Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Security Agent in aid of such enforcement and Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Security Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Security Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Collateral Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any of Grantor’s rights in the Collateral Intellectual Property that is material to its business by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or otherwise violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation;

37

(ii)           upon written demand from the Security Agent in connection with a foreclosure or other exercise of remedies permitted by applicable law, Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Security Agent or Security Agent’s designee an absolute assignment of all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Security Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

(iii)          Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Security Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Collateral Intellectual Property;

(iv)          within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Security Agent, Grantor shall make available to the Security Agent, to the extent within Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Security Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks and Trademark Licenses included in the Collateral, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Security Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Security Agent at Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and

(v)           the Security Agent shall have the right to notify, or require Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to Grantor in respect of any Collateral Intellectual Property , of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Security Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Grantor might have done;

(1)                                 all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Security Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Security Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.6 hereof; and

(2)                                 Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

(b)           If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of

38

Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Security Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to any Collateral Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of Grantor, the Security Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to Grantor, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Security Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Security Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Security Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Security Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Security Agent and the Secured Parties.

(c)           Solely for the purpose of enabling the Security Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Security Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, Grantor hereby grants to the Security Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks included in the Collateral, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license or sublicense and otherwise exploit any Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned or held by Grantor.

7.6          Cash Proceeds.  In addition to the rights of the Security Agent specified in Section 4.3 with respect to payments of Collateral Receivables, after occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request by the Security Agent, all proceeds of any Collateral received by Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by Grantor in trust for the Security Agent, segregated from other funds of Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Grantor, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Notes Document, be turned over to the Security Agent in the exact form received by Grantor (duly indorsed by Grantor to the Security Agent, if required) and held by the Security Agent in a Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Security Agent (whether from Grantor or otherwise):  (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the Security Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and, upon request of Company, returned to Company, and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Security Agent, (A) be held by the Security Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Security Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.

SECTION 8.                         SECURITY AGENT.

The Security Agent has been appointed to act as Security Agent hereunder by the Holders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties.  The Security Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights and to take or refrain from taking any action

39

(including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and the Indenture.  In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Security Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section.  Security Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Holders, the Trustee and the Grantor, and Security Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Grantor and Security Agent signed by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “Required Holders”).  Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Required Holders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Security Agent, following receipt of the Grantor’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which shall not be required while an Event of Default exists), to appoint a successor Security Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Security Agent hereunder by a successor Security Agent, that successor will become Security Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Security Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Security Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Security Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Security Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Security Agent of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Security Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Security Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Security Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Security Agent hereunder.

SECTION 9.                         CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST

(a)           This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the full and final payment of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), and be binding upon Grantor, its successors and assigns and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Security Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Security Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Indenture, any Holder may assign or otherwise transfer any Notes 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 Holder herein or otherwise.  Upon the full and final payment of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), the security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantor.

(b)           Prior to the Existing Credit Agreement Discharge Date, upon any disposition of property permitted by the Indenture, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to

40

be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person.

(c)           On or after the Existing Credit Agreement Discharge Date, upon (i) any sale or disposition of property of a Grantor to a Person other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or (ii) the consummation of any other transaction permitted by the Indenture as a result of which such Grantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or such Grantor is released from its Note Guarantee, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person.

(d)           On or after the Existing Credit Agreement Discharge Date, upon any Collateral being or becoming an Excluded Asset, the security interests created pursuant to this Agreement on such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(e)           The Grantor shall also be entitled to release the security interests created pursuant to this Agreement as set forth in Section 11.05 of the Indenture.

(f)            In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), the Security Agent shall, at the Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release or termination.

SECTION 10.                  STANDARD OF CARE; SECURITY AGENT MAY PERFORM.

The powers conferred on the Security Agent 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 exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Security Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  The Security Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Security Agent accords its own property.  Neither the Security Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Grantor or otherwise.  If Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Security Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Security Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Grantor under Section 11.06 of the Indenture.

SECTION 11.                  INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Security Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Security Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) any Collateral (to the extent the possession thereof perfects a Lien thereon under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction) may be

41

held by the Controlling Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (or its agents or bailees) in accordance with Section 2.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Intercreditor Agreement or Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of any such Intercreditor Agreement or Additional Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  No right, power or remedy granted to the Security Agent hereunder shall be exercised by the Security Agent, and no direction shall be given by the Security Agent, in contravention of any such Intercreditor Agreement or Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 12.                  MISCELLANEOUS.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 12.01 of the Indenture:  provided that any notice or communication to the Security Agent shall be addressed to ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇/▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.  No failure or delay on the part of the Security Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Notes Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Notes Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Security Agent and Grantor and their respective successors and assigns.  Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent given in accordance with the Indenture, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.  This Agreement and the other Notes Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantor and the Security Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Accordingly, the Notes Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE

42

STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).

THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE UNDER THE HEADINGS “CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE INDENTURE.

43

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Grantor and the Security Agent have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

UNCERTIFICATED SECURITIES CONTROL AGREEMENT

This Uncertificated Securities Control Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of       , 201    among CEQUEL COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS II, LLC (the “Pledgor”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as collateral agent for the Secured Parties, (the “Security Agent”) and                , a                corporation (the “Issuer”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the Notes Pledge and Security Agreement dated [·], 2016, among the Pledgor, and the Security Agent (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”).  All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

Section 1.              Registered Ownership of Shares.  The Issuer hereby confirms and agrees that as of the date hereof the Pledgor is the registered owner of [         ] shares of the Issuer’s [common] stock (the “Pledged Shares”) and, except to the extent permitted by the Indenture, the Issuer shall not change the registered owner of the Pledged Shares without the prior written consent of the Security Agent.

Section 2.              Instructions.  If at any time the Issuer shall receive notice from Security Agent that an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred, the Issuer shall comply with instructions originated by the Security Agent relating to the Pledged Shares without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person.  The Security Agent agrees not to deliver a notice of default unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing; however, it is understood and agreed that the Issuer shall rely exclusively on a notice of default as to the existence of an Event of Default and shall be under no obligation to make any independent investigation as to the existence of an Event of Default.

Section 3.              Additional Representations and Warranties of the Issuer.  The Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Security Agent:

(a)           It has not entered into, and until the termination of this agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Pledged Shares pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with instructions issued by such other person;

(b)           It has not entered into, and until the termination of this agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Pledgor or the Security Agent purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Issuer to comply with instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof;

(c)           Except for the claims and interest of the Security Agent and of the Pledgor in the Pledged Shares and except as permitted by the Indenture, the Issuer does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the Pledged Shares.  If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Pledged Shares, the Issuer will promptly notify the Security Agent and the Pledgor thereof; and

EXHIBIT B-1

(d)           This Uncertificated Securities Control Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Issuer.

Section 4.              Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
