Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of the reduction.

Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Revolving Credit Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. In addition to such accounts or records, upon request of any Revolving Credit Lender, its Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Revolving Credit Note”), and completed with appropriate insertions. Any such Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of such Revolving Credit Lender in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below.

Each such notice shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan requested, (ii) the proposed Drawdown Date of such Revolving Credit Loan, (iii) the Type of such Revolving Credit Loan and (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of (a) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $500,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (b) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided, that no more than twelve (12) Eurodollar Rate Loans having different Interest Periods may be outstanding at any time.

     2.7. Conversion Options.

     2.7.1. Conversion to Different Type of Revolving Credit Loan. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Revolving Credit Loan to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type, provided that with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice of such election no later than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the third (3^rd) Eurodollar Business Day prior to the date of such conversion; and no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Revolving Credit Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its Eurodollar Lending Office, as the case may be. All or any part of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type as provided herein; provided that if a Eurodollar Rate Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any additional costs relating thereto pursuant to §6.10. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Revolving Credit Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

     2.7.2. Continuation of Type of Revolving Credit Loan. Any Revolving Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as a Revolving Credit Loan of the same Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.7.1; provided that no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Event of Default of which officers of the Administrative Agent active upon the

- 28 -

Borrower’s account have actual knowledge. In the event that the Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to the continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan as such, then such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders promptly when any such automatic conversion contemplated by this §2.7.2 is scheduled to occur.

     2.7.3. Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any conversion to or from Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Rate Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. No more than twelve (12) Eurodollar Rate Loans having different Interest Periods may be outstanding at any time.

     2.8. Funds for Revolving Credit Loans.

     2.8.1. Funding Procedures. Not later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders will make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans. Upon receipt from each Revolving Credit Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §§12 and 13 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders. The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such other Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loans.

     2.8.2. Advances by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Revolving Credit Lender prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made available to the Administrative Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Revolving Credit Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the average computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent during each day included in such period, times (b) the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans, times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans shall become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Credit Lender. If the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Credit Lender within three (3) Business Days following such Drawdown Date, the Administrative Agent shall be

- 29 -

entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand, with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans made on such Drawdown Date.

     2.9. Settlements.

     2.9.1. General. On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice (a) to the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower of the respective outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders from the immediately preceding Settlement Date through the close of business on the prior day and the amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made (following the giving of notice pursuant to §2.6) on such date pursuant to a Loan Request and (b) to the Revolving Credit Lenders of the amount (a “Settlement Amount”) that each Revolving Credit Lender (a “Settling Lender”) shall pay to effect a Settlement of any Revolving Credit Loan. A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower or to the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any amounts owing under this §2.9 shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing. Each Settling Lender shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on such Settlement Date, effect a wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in the amount of the Settlement Amount for such Settling Lender. All funds advanced by any Revolving Credit Lender as a Settling Lender pursuant to this §2.9 shall for all purposes be treated as a Revolving Credit Loan made by such Settling Lender to the Borrower and all funds received by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this §2.9 shall for all purposes be treated as repayment of amounts owed with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender. In the event that any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar cases or proceedings in which the Borrower is a debtor prevent a Settling Lender from making any Revolving Credit Loan to effect a Settlement as contemplated hereby, such Settling Lender will make such dispositions and arrangements with the other Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans, either by way of purchase of participations, distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Revolving Credit Lender’s share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans being equal, as nearly as may be, to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans.

     2.9.2. Failure to Make Funds Available. The Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any Settling Lender prior to a Settlement Date, assume that such Settling Lender has made or will make available to the Administrative Agent on such Settlement Date the amount of such Settling Lender’s Settlement Amount, and the Administrative Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Settling Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent such amount on a date after such Settlement Date, such Settling Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the average computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent during each day included in such period, times (b) the amount of such Settlement Amount, times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which the amount of such Settlement Amount shall become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to such Settling Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this §2.9.2 shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent by such Settling Lender. If such Settling Lender’s Settlement Amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Settling Lender within three (3) Business Days following such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand, with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans as of such Settlement Date.

- 30 -

     2.9.3. No Effect on Other Revolving Credit Lenders. The failure or refusal of any Settling Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Settlement Date the amount of such Settling Lender’s Settlement Amount shall not (a) relieve any other Settling Lender from its several obligations hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such other Settling Lender’s Settlement Amount or (b) impose upon any Revolving Credit Lender, other than the Settling Lender so failing or refusing, any liability with respect to such failure or refusal or otherwise increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of such other Revolving Credit Lender.

     2.10. Repayment Of The Revolving Credit Loans.

     2.10.1. Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, all of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

     2.10.2. Mandatory Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. If at any time the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at such time, then the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders for application: first, to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; second, to the Revolving Credit Loans; and third, to provide to the Administrative Agent cash collateral for Reimbursement Obligations as contemplated by §5.2(b) and 5.2(c). Each payment of any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations or prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to each Reimbursement Obligation or (as the case may be) the respective unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in proportion. In addition, the Borrower shall repay the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with §4.

     2.10.3. Optional Repayments of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to repay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, provided that no Eurodollar Rate Loans may be prepaid pursuant to this §2.10.3 except on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto unless breakage costs incurred by the Revolving Credit Lenders in connection therewith are paid by the Borrower in accordance with §6.10. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of any prepayment pursuant to this §2.10.3 of Base Rate Loans, and at least three (3) Eurodollar Business Days’ prior to the proposed date of any prepayment pursuant to this §2.10.3 of Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $2,000,000, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of prepayment and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not exactly in proportion.

     3.5.1. Interest Rates. Except as otherwise provided in §6.11, the Tranche B Term Loan shall bear interest at the following rates:

After the Tranche B Term Loan has been made, the provisions of §2.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to all or any portion of the Tranche B Term Loan so that the Borrower may have the same interest rate options with respect to all or any portion of the Tranche B Term Loan as it would be entitled to with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

     3.5.3. Amounts, etc. Any portion of the Tranche B Term Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate relating to any Interest Period shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

     5.1.4. Reimbursement Obligations of Revolving Credit Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for the amount of each draft paid by the Administrative Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to §5.2 (such agreement for a Revolving Credit Lender being called herein the “Letter of Credit Participation” of such Revolving Credit Lender).

     5.1.5. Participations of Revolving Credit Lenders. Each such payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be treated as the purchase by such Revolving Credit Lender of a participating interest in the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under §5.2 in an amount equal to such payment.

     5.2. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In order to induce the Administrative Agent to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Revolving Credit Lenders to participate therein, the Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse or pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent or (as the case may be) the Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by the Administrative Agent hereunder,

     (b) upon the reduction (but not termination) of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount less than the Maximum Drawing Amount, an amount equal to such difference, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations, and

     (c) upon the termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, or the acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in accordance with §14, an amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations.

Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this §5.2 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §5.2, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the

- 36 -

Administrative Agent on demand at the rate calculated in accordance with §6.11 for Revolving Credit Loans.

     5.3. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay such draft or honor such demand for payment. If the Borrower fails to reimburse the Administrative Agent as provided in §5.2 on or before the date that such draft is paid or other payment is made by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may at any time thereafter notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the amount of any such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. No later than 1:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Business Day next following the receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in immediately available funds, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage (in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment) of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, together with an amount equal to the product of (a) the average, computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent during each day included in such period, times (b) the amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage (in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment) of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including the date the Administrative Agent paid the draft presented for honor or otherwise made payment to the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment Percentage (in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment) of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. The responsibility of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be only to determine that the documents (including each draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit.

     5.4. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this §5 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under §5.2 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrower.

     5.5. Reliance by Issuer. To the extent not inconsistent with §5.4, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems

- 37 -

appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Revolving Credit Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Revolving Credit Lenders and all future holders of the Revolving Credit Notes or of a Letter of Credit Participation.

     5.6. Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall, on each Interest Payment Date for Base Rate Loans pay a fee (in each case, a “Letter of Credit Fee”) to the Administrative Agent in respect of each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans outstanding during the quarter ending on such date which bear interest based on the Eurodollar Rate of the Maximum Drawing Amount of such standby Letter of Credit plus (b) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the face amount of such standby Letter of Credit. The portion of the Letter of Credit Fee referred to in clause (b) above shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent, as a fronting fee, and the balance of such Letter of Credit Fee shall be for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. In respect of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account, at such other time or times as such charges are customarily made by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s customary issuance, amendment, negotiation or document examination and other administrative fees as in effect from time to time.

6. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     6.1. Closing Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees on the Funding Date that have been expressly agreed to in writing between the Borrower and certain of the Lenders to be paid on the Funding Date.

     6.2. Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent annually in advance, for the Administrative Agent’s own account, on the Funding Date and on each anniversary of the Funding Date, an Administrative Agent’s fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) as set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

     6.3. Funds for Payments.

      6.3.1. Payments to Administrative Agent. All payments of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations, Fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the respective accounts of the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate, in each case no later than 2:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) and in immediately available funds.

      6.3.2. No Offset, etc. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein excluding (A) income and franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) the net income or profits of any Lender or the Administrative Agent by the jurisdictions under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or any Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof, or by the jurisdictions in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is located or any political subdivision thereof, or by the jurisdictions in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is doing business or any political subdivision thereof and (B) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or

- 38 -

any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (A) above unless, in each case, the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding (such non-excluded items referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower; provided however that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent with respect to any such Non-Excluded Taxes that are attributable to (i) such Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §6.3.3 or (ii) that are withholding taxes imposed on the amounts payable to such Administrative Agent or such Lender at the time such Administrative Agent or Lender becomes a party to this Credit Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such obligation pursuant to this §6.3.2; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay Non-Excluded Taxes in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in interpretation, administration or application thereof, a Non-U.S. Lender that was previously entitled to receive all payments under this Credit Agreement and any Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes is no longer properly entitled by law to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document.

      6.3.3. Non-U.S. Lenders. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any assignee) that is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) hereby agrees that, if and to the extent it is legally able to do so, it shall, prior to the date of the first payment by the Borrower hereunder to be made to such Lender or the Administrative Agent or for such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s account, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as and when required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including (a) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulations, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent establishing that with respect to payments of principal, interest or fees hereunder it is (i) not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Administrative Agent of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) totally exempt or partially exempt from United States federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty and (b) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, together with a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or successor forms). Each Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall, promptly upon a change of its lending office or the selection of any additional lending office, to the extent the forms previously delivered by it pursuant to this section are no longer effective, and promptly upon the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request after the occurrence of any other event (including the passage of time) requiring the delivery of a Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 or W-9 in addition to or in replacement of the forms previously delivered, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the

- 39 -

extent it is properly entitled to do so, two (2) properly completed and executed copies of Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (or any successor forms thereto). Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

     6.4. Computations. All computations of interest on the Eurodollar Rate Loans and of Fees shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be based on a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected from time to time in the accounts or records maintained by the Lenders and by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be considered correct and binding on the Borrower unless within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any notice by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders of such outstanding amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Borrower to the contrary.

     6.5. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall determine or be notified by the Required Lenders that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request or Conversion Request with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans, (b) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

     6.6. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the other Lenders and thereupon (a) the commitment of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand by such Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this §6.6, including any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder.

     6.7. Additional Costs, etc. If any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

- 40 -

      (a) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, such Lender’s Commitment or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the income or profits of such Lender or the Administrative Agent), or

      (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or

      (c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

      (d) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, or any class of loans, letters of credit or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part;

      and the result of any of the foregoing is:

        (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Lender’s Commitment or any Letter of Credit, or

        (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment, any Letter of Credit or any of the Loans, or

        (iii) to require such Lender or the Administrative Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent and as often as the occasion therefor may arise and upon presentation by such Lender or the Administrative Agent of a certificate pursuant to §6.9, pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent on an after-tax basis for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum.

     6.8. Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for Lenders or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (b) compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s commitment

- 41 -

with respect to any Loans to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction in the return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate, the Borrower agrees to pay such Lender for the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined upon presentation by such Lender of a certificate in accordance with §6.9. Each Lender shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.

     6.9. Certificate. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §6.7 or §6.8 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that such amounts are due and owing, which certificate shall be delivered no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall have determined that any such additional amount is due.

     6.10. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss (excluding any loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to banks for funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request notice (in the case of all or any portion of the Tranche B Term Loan pursuant to §3.5.2) or a Conversion Request relating thereto in accordance with §2.6, §2.7 or §3.5.2, as the case may be, (c) the making of any payment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Loans.

     6.11. Interest After Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default of the type described in clauses (a) or (b) of §14.1, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall automatically bear interest, after as well as before judgment, compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the rate of interest then applicable thereto (or, if no rate of interest is then applicable thereto, the Base Rate).

     6.12. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

      (a) If any Lender requests compensation under §6.7 or §6.8, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §6.3.2, or any Lender is subject to §6.6, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches, or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to §6.7 or §6.8 or §6.3.2 or eliminate the effect of §6.6, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

      (b) If any Lender requests compensation under §6.7 or §6.8, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §6.3.2, or if any Lender is subject to §6.6, or if any Lender does not agree to any amendment hereunder requiring the consent of all Lenders and consented to by

- 42 -

the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in §17, including, without limitation, as a condition precedent to such assignment, (i) the Administrative Agent’s consent to the assignee unless not otherwise required by §17 and (ii) payment of the registration fee set forth in §17.1(b)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such Lender shall have received irrevocable payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, and accrued fees and all other Obligations and other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrower and (ii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or removal of such illegality or such amendment being approved. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

7. COLLATERAL SECURITY AND GUARANTIES.

     7.1. Security of Borrower. The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens entitled to priority under applicable law) in all of the assets of the Borrower (other than the Excluded Assets and the Capital Stock of any Excluded Subsidiary), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, an assignment of all of the Borrower’s rights and interests in, to and under each contract and agreement entered into by the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by §10.5.1, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents to which the Borrower is a party.

     7.2. Guaranties and Security of Parent and Subsidiaries. The Obligations shall also be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty. The obligations of the Parent under the Guaranty shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of (i) the Borrower, (ii) each domestic Subsidiary of the Parent now existing, or hereafter created or acquired and, (iii) to the extent no adverse tax consequences would result, each foreign Subsidiary of the Parent whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement. The obligations of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries under the Guaranty shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens entitled to priority under applicable law) in all of the assets of each such Person (other than Excluded Assets and the Capital Stock of any Excluded Subsidiary other than the Austin Partnership and RAM) whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including without limitation an assignment of each such Person’s rights and interests in, to and under each contract and agreement entered into by each such Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by §10.5.1, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents to which such Person is a party.

     7.3. Release of Collateral and Guaranties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as soon as practicable following a sale or disposition of assets permitted in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, including without limitation, §10.5.2, the Administrative Agent shall release its Liens on the Collateral subject to such sale or disposition and/or any Subsidiary of the Borrower which is the subject of such sale or disposition from its obligations under the Guaranty.

Compliance with Other Instruments, Laws, Status as Senior Debt, etc. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of any provision of its Governing Documents, or any agreement or instrument to which it may be subject or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or any decree, order, judgment, statute, license, rule or regulation, in any of the foregoing cases in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Obligations of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries arising under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute “Senior Debt” under and as defined in the Subordinated Note Indenture and shall constitute the equivalent under the Refinancing Note Indenture; and the incurrence of such Obligations is permitted under §4.09 of the Subordinated Note Indenture and shall be permitted under the Refinancing Note Indenture and will not cause a “Default” or “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Subordinated Note Indenture and the Refinancing Note Indenture, as applicable.

     8.10. Tax Status. The Parent and the Subsidiaries (a) have made or filed all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which any of them is subject, except where failure to have done so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (b) have paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.10, there are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction (except those being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings subject to the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary having established adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP for the payment of such disputed taxes and except where the failure to pay such disputed taxes could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), and none of the officers of the Borrower know of any reasonable basis for any such claim.

     8.11. No Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     8.12. Investment Company Acts and Communications Act. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, or an “affiliate” of a “holding company”, as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935; nor is it an “investment company”, or an “affiliated company” or a “principal underwriter” of an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the Communications Act with regard to alien control or ownership.

     8.13. Absence of Financing Statements, etc. Except with respect to Permitted Liens, there is no financing statement, security agreement, chattel mortgage, real estate mortgage or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry or other public office, that purports to cover, affect or give notice of any present or possible future Lien on any assets or property of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any rights relating thereto.

     8.14. Perfection of Security Interest. All filings, assignments, pledges and deposits of documents or instruments have been made and all other actions have been taken that are necessary or advisable, under applicable law, to establish and perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the Collateral are not subject to any setoff, claims, withholdings or other defenses. The Borrower or (as the case may be) a Subsidiary party to the Security Agreement is the owner of the Collateral free from any Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

     8.15. Certain Transactions. Except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Borrower or such Subsidiary could obtain from third parties, none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors and independent contractors in the ordinary course of business), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

     8.16. Employee Benefit Plans.

      8.16.1. In General. Each Employee Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed Pension Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA and all Applicable Pension Legislation and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and other persons handling plan funds as required by §412 of ERISA. The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent the most recently completed annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement required to be submitted under §103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each Guaranteed Pension Plan.

      8.16.2. Terminability of Welfare Plans. No Employee Benefit Plan, which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, provides benefit coverage subsequent to termination of employment, except as required by Title I, Part 6 of ERISA or the applicable state insurance laws. The Borrower may terminate each such Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of the Borrower without liability to any Person other than for claims arising prior to termination.

      8.16.3. Guaranteed Pension Plans. Each contribution required to be made to a Guaranteed Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid the incurrence of an accumulated funding deficiency, the notice or lien provisions of §302(f) of ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made. No waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or extension of amortization periods has been received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to or has posted security in connection with an amendment to a Guaranteed Pension Plan pursuant to §307 of ERISA or §401(a)(29) of the Code. No liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums, all of which have been paid) has been incurred by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event (other than an ERISA Reportable Event as to which the requirement of 30 days notice has been waived), or any other event or condition which presents a material risk of termination of any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC. Based on the latest valuation of each Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred within twelve months of the date of this representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed for that valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans within the meaning of §4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans, disregarding for this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of any Guaranteed Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit liabilities.

      8.16.4. Multiemployer Plans. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under §4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in §4204 of ERISA. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA

- 47 -

Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of §4241 or §4245 of ERISA or is at risk of entering reorganization or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under §4041A of ERISA.

     8.17. Use of Proceeds.

      8.17.1. General. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used for the following purposes: (a) to refinance all outstanding loans under the Existing Credit Agreement, (b) to refinance a portion of the outstanding Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount Notes, so long as at least $375,000,000 of proceeds have been raised from the issuance of Refinancing Notes and the net cash proceeds therefrom have been applied to such refinancing, (c) working capital and general corporate purposes, (d) funding Permitted Acquisitions, and (e) funding Capital Expenditures permitted hereunder. The Borrower will obtain Letters of Credit solely for general corporate purposes.

      8.17.2. Regulation U. No portion of any Loan is to be used, and no portion of any Letter of Credit is to be obtained, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Part 221.

      8.17.3. Ineligible Securities. No portion of the proceeds of any Loan is to be used, and no portion of any Letter of Credit is to be obtained, for the purpose of knowingly purchasing, or providing credit support for the purchase of, during the underwriting or placement period or within thirty (30) days thereafter, any Ineligible Securities underwritten or privately placed by a Financial Affiliate.

     8.18. Environmental Compliance. The Borrower has taken all necessary steps to investigate the past and present condition and usage of the Real Estate and the operations conducted thereon and, based upon such diligent investigation, has determined that:

      (a) none of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any operator of the Real Estate or any operations thereon is in violation, or alleged violation, of any judgment, decree, order, law, license, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental matters, including without limitation, those arising under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 as amended (“CERCLA”), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, or any state, local or foreign law, statute, regulation, ordinance, order or decree relating to health, safety or the environment (hereinafter “Environmental Laws”), which violation could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the environment or a Material Adverse Effect;

Except as set forth on Schedule 8.19, neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary is engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person. The jurisdiction of incorporation/formation and principal place of business of each Subsidiary is listed on Schedule 8.19 hereto.

     8.20. Disclosure. Neither this Credit Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the case of any document or information not furnished by it or any of its Subsidiaries) necessary in order to make the statements herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact known to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which has had a Material Adverse Effect, or which is reasonably likely in the future to have a Material Adverse Effect, exclusive of effects resulting from changes in general economic conditions, legal standards or regulatory conditions or changes affecting the broadcasting or publishing industries generally resulting from new technologies.

     8.21. Licenses and Approvals.

- 49 -

      (a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority and Necessary Authorizations to hold the FCC Licenses and to own and operate its Stations and to carry on its businesses as now conducted.

      (b) Set forth in Schedule 8.21 hereto, as updated from time to time in accordance with §10.5, is a complete description of all FCC Licenses of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries and the dates on which such FCC Licenses expire. Complete and correct copies of all such FCC licenses have been delivered to the Administrative Agent. Each such FCC License which is necessary to the operation of the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is validly issued and in full force and effect. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed in all material respects all of its obligations with respect to each such FCC License except in respect of findings of violations, or claims alleging violations, by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of FCC indecency standards (“Indecency Claims”), provided that such Indecency Claims could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and provided further that the Borrower or such Subsidiary is taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to contest or mitigate its potential liabilities in respect of such Indecency Claims and has set aside on its books adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto. No event has occurred which: (i) has resulted in, or after notice or lapse of time or both would result in, revocation or termination of any FCC License, or (ii) materially and adversely affects or in the future could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any of the rights of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any FCC License, except for those the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to cause an Event of Default pursuant to §14.1(t) and so long as the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary shall have complied with §9.10(b)(iv). No material license or franchise, other than the FCC Licenses described in Schedule 8.21 which have been obtained, is necessary for the operation of the business (including the Stations) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as now conducted.

      (c) Except as set forth on Schedule 8.21, as updated from time to time pursuant to §10.5, and except in respect of Indecency Claims, provided that such Indecency Claims could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and provided further that the Borrower or such Subsidiary is taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to contest or mitigate its potential liabilities in respect of such Indecency Claims and has set aside on its books adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or has knowledge of any investigation, notice of violation, order or complaint issued by or before any Governmental Authority, including the FCC, or of any other proceedings (other than proceedings relating to the radio or television broadcasting industry generally) which could in any manner threaten or adversely affect the validity or continued effectiveness of the FCC Licenses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has reason to believe that any of the FCC Licenses described in Schedule 8.21, as updated from time to time pursuant to §10.5, will not be renewed, except for those the failure to be in full force and effect after the Funding Date could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed all material reports, applications, documents, instruments and information required to be filed by it pursuant to applicable rules and regulations or requests of every regulatory body having jurisdiction over any of its FCC Licenses or the activities or business of such Person with respect thereto and has timely paid all FCC annual regulatory fees assessed with respect to its FCC Licenses.

No remedy herein conferred upon any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the holder of any Note or purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

     14.4. Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any of the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

      (b) Second, to all other Obligations in such order or preference as the Required Lenders may determine; provided, however, that (i) distributions shall be made (A) pari passu

- 77 -

among Obligations with respect to the Administrative Agent’s Fee and all other Obligations and (B) with respect to each type of Obligation owing to the Lenders, such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, among the Lenders pro rata across all Tranches and (ii) the Administrative Agent may in its discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable;

      (c) Third, upon payment and satisfaction in full or other provisions for payment in full satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required to be paid pursuant to §9-615 of the UCC of the State of New York; and

      (d) Fourth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

15. ADDITIONAL FINANCING.

     15.1. Commitment Amount. At any time, and from time to time, the Borrower may solicit the Lenders and any other lending institution to provide the Borrower with additional commitments to make Loans under this Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount not to exceed six hundred and seventy five million dollars ($675,000,000) subject to the limitations set forth below. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to provide the Borrower with all or any part of such additional commitment; provided that by execution of this Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to have consented, without the need for further or subsequent consent, (a) to such additional commitments which any other Lender or lending institution may agree to provide for the Loans which may be advanced in respect thereof and any resulting changes in any Commitment Percentage of any Tranche, and (b) any amendments which may be made to the Loan Documents in order to evidence and document such commitments and Loans to the extent that any such amendment (i) does not amend any of the provisions specified in §18.12(a) as requiring the consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) does not modify the relative priority of the Loans (including any such new Loans) and commitments (including any such new commitments) with respect to the payment, guarantees, collateral or other collateral support, and (iii) is consistent with all other requirements of this §15. The Borrower may elect to allocate all or any portion of such additional commitment among the existing Tranches or may allocate all or a portion of such additional commitment to one or more new Tranches; provided that (x) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment may not be increased by more than three hundred and fifty million dollars ($350,000,000) as a result of such allocations, (y) any additional Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments shall mature or terminate, as the case may be, on or after the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date and (z) any amounts not allocated to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be advanced in the form of term loans under a bank term tranche or fund term tranche and any such additional term loans shall either (A) with respect to any additional term loans structured as a bank term tranche, amortize on the same or slower schedule as the Tranche B Term Loan as in effect at such time until the Tranche B Maturity Date and shall have a final maturity date on or after the Tranche B Maturity Date, and (B) with respect to any additional term loans structured as a fund term tranche, amortize either on the same schedule as the Tranche B Term Loan or have a weighted average term to maturity which is longer than the Tranche B Term Loan. Moreover, if the interest rate in respect of any additional Revolving Credit Loans, or the commitment fees payable in respect of any additional Revolving Credit Commitments, made available pursuant to this §15 exceeds the interest rate or the Commitment Fee payable in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments as provided in §2.5 and §2.2, respectively, then the interest rate calculated in accordance with §2.5 or such Commitment Fee (as applicable) shall automatically be increased to the interest rate or the commitment fee, as the case may be, payable in respect of the additional Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments made available pursuant to this §15 without the requirement of any further action or consent on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower. In addition, if the interest rate payable in respect of any additional term loans made available pursuant to this §15 at any time exceeds the interest rate payable in respect of the Tranche B Term Loan as provided in §3.5 plus 0.25%, then the interest rate payable in respect of the Tranche B Term

- 78 -

Loan shall automatically be increased to a rate that is at all times equal to the rate payable with respect to such additional term loans less 0.25% without the requirement of any further action or consent on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no additional commitments shall be permitted hereunder and no additional loans may be advanced in respect thereof unless (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing or would result after giving effect to such additional commitments and the loans to be advanced in respect thereof, assuming that such loans were fully advanced on the effective date of such additional commitments, (2) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate demonstrating compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement after giving pro forma effect to such loans to be advanced in respect of the additional commitment and the application of the proceeds thereof, such compliance to be calculated based on the Borrower’s Consolidated Operating Cash Flow reported in connection with the preparation of the Borrower’s Compliance Certificate most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent, (3) with respect to each lending institution not yet a party hereto providing additional commitments, such lending institution shall have become a party to this Credit Agreement (and become subject to all the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder) by executing the delivering to the Administrative Agent an original, executed Instrument of Accession in the form of Exhibit G hereto (an “Instrument of Accession”), (4) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders notice that such solicitation has been made and, prior to the effectiveness of such additional commitment, copies of all documents and instruments related thereto, (5) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of updated financial projections through the final maturity date of any additional commitments provided hereunder and (6) the additional commitments and additional loans pursuant to this §15.1 (A) are permitted indebtedness under the Subordinated Note Documents or the Refinancing Note Documents, as applicable, (B) constitute for purposes of the Subordinated Note Indenture or the Refinancing Note Indenture, as applicable, “Senior Debt” to the same degree as the Obligations in existence prior to the making of such additional loans or such additional commitments, and (C) any Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder shall constitute permitted indebtedness under each of the Subordinated Note Indenture, the Senior Discount Note Indenture and the Refinancing Note Indenture, as applicable, without requiring the Borrower to demonstrate compliance with any leverage ratio incurrence covenants contained in the Subordinated Note Indenture, the Senior Discount Note Indenture and the Refinancing Note Indenture, as applicable. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to provide the Borrower with any such additional commitments.

     15.2. Evidence of Debt. The Loans made pursuant to this §15 shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the applicable Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each such Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made pursuant to this §15 by the applicable Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any applicable Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. In addition to such accounts or records, upon request of any applicable Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender , in the case of any new Tranche, a new Note for such Tranche and, in the case of an increase to an existing Tranche, an amended Note as applicable for the corresponding Tranche in the form of the appropriate Note then held by such Lender (the “Current Note”), in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the applicable Tranche as increased pursuant to this §15 or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Person in respect of such Tranche, plus interest accrued thereon at the applicable rate. Within five (5) days of the receipt of the amended Note, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower the Current Note marked “substituted.”

16. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

- 79 -

     16.1. Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this §16 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither the Parent nor the Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

     16.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

     16.3. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

      (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

      (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

      (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in §18.2 and §14.3) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent, the Borrower or a Lender.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any

- 80 -

Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in §12 and §13 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

     16.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

      16.4.1. General. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

      16.4.2. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

      16.4.3. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this §16 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

     16.5. Payments.

      16.5.1. Payments to Administrative Agent. A payment by the Parent or the Borrower to the Administrative Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.

- 81 -

      16.5.2. Distribution by Administrative Agent. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

      16.5.3. Delinquent Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (a) to make available to the Administrative Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or to purchase any Letter of Credit Participation or (b) to comply with the provisions of §16.1 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Credit Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, apply any and all payments otherwise due to a Delinquent Lender from the Borrower, whether on account of outstanding Loans, Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute and apply such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata             shares of all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations of the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

     16.6. Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under §18.2 or §18.3 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Total Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this §16.6 are several and the failure or refusal of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its portion of such unpaid amount shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder. The undertaking in this §16.6 shall survive termination of the Total Commitment, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

     16.7. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor

- 82 -

Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees of the successor Administrative Agent as may be agreed between the Borrower and such successor Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this §16 and §§18.2 and 18.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this §16 shall also constitute its resignation as issuer of Letters of Credit. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring issuer of Letters of Credit, (b) the retiring issuer of Letters of Credit shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring issuer of Letters of Credit to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring issuer of Letters of Credit with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     16.8. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

      (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under §5.6, §6 and §18.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

      (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under §6 and §18.2.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

- 83 -

     16.9. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the book managers, arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note(s) to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with §17.3.

     17.2. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

     17.3. Participations.

      (a) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s Letter of Credit Participations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.

Subject to clause (b) of this §17.3, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of §§6.3, 6.7, 6.8 and 6.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to §17.1. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of §18.1 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to §18.1 as though it were a Lender.

      (b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under §6.3 §6.7, or §6.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of §6.3 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with §6.3.3 as though it were a Lender.

- 85 -

     17.4. Assignee or Participant Affiliated with the Borrower. If any Eligible Assignee is an Affiliate of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, then any such assignee Lender shall have no right to (a) attend meetings of the Lenders or (b) vote as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or other modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to §14.1 or §14.2, and the determination of the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to such Eligible Assignee’s interest in any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations.

If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §18.3 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

Any termination or other modification of any Interest Rate Agreement with a Lender as a counterparty shall not require the consent of any other Lender hereunder.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

19. FCC APPROVAL.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will take any action pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, which would constitute or result in a change in control of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries requiring the prior approval of the FCC without first obtaining such prior approval of the FCC. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall take or cause to be taken any action which the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to obtain from the FCC such approval as may be necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, the use of the Borrower’s best efforts to assist in obtaining such approval for any action or transaction contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents for which such approval is required by law, including specifically, without limitation, upon request, to prepare, sign and file with the FCC the assignor’s or transferor’s portion of any application or applications for the consent to the assignment or transfer of control necessary or appropriate under the FCC’s rules and approval of any of the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
