constituting accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts (other than
principal), pro rata amongst each Bank, the Agent, each Co-Agent and each L/C
Provider in accordance with the proportion which the accrued interest, fees and
other amounts (other than principal) constituting Obligations owing to each such
Bank, Agent, Co-Agent and L/C Provider bears to the aggregate amount of accrued
interest, fees and other amounts (other than principal) constituting Obligations
owing to all of the Banks, the Agent, the Co-Agents and the L/C Providers;
20
21
(c) THIRD, to payment of the principal of the Obligations owing to

amount of principal of the Obligations owing to all of the Banks, any L/C
Providers and any Interest Rate Providers; and
(d) FOURTH, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have
been satisfied, shall be deposited by the Agent into the Grantors' general

8. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
8.1 Notice of Disposition of Collateral. Each Grantor hereby waives
notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any
private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be
made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any
notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to a Grantor, addressed as set
forth in Section 9, at least 10 days prior to any such public sale or the time
after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made.
8.2 Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor, the Banks,
the Co-Agents, the Agent, any L/C Providers and any Interest Rate Providers
recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted
by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the
Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the
expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may
exceed the amount that reasonably
21
22
may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the
foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Agent may at any time and from time to
time, if a Default or a L/C Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise
with the obligor on any Receivable pledged by such Grantor, accept in full
payment of any such Receivable such amount as the Agent in its reasonable
discretion shall determine or abandon any such Receivable, and any such action
by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts in good
faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
8.3 Secured Party Performance of Company Obligations. Without having
any obligation to do so, the Agent may perform or pay any obligation in this
Subsidiary Security Agreement which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay but
which it has failed to so perform or pay in a timely manner after a request
therefor from the Agent and the Grantors shall reimburse the Agent for any
amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.3. The Grantors' obligation
to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be an Obligation
payable on demand.
8.4 Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each
Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in
the sole discretion of the Agent and irrevocably appoints the Agent as its
attorney in fact to act on behalf of such Grantor (i) at any time (if such
Grantor has failed to do so promptly upon a request therefor) (a) to execute on
behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or
desirable in the Agent's sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the Agent's security interest in the Collateral
pledged by such Grantor, and (b) to file a carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Subsidiary Security Agreement or any financing statement
with re-
22
23
spect to the Collateral pledged by such Grantor as a financing statement in such
offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to
perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent's security
interest in such Collateral and (ii) at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Default or a L/C Default (a) to endorse and collect any
cash proceeds of the Collateral, (b) subject to the terms of Section 4.1.6, to
enforce payment of the Receivables pledged by such Grantor in the name of the
Agent or such Grantor, and (c) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral pledged
by such Grantor received by the Agent to the Obligations as provided in Section
7. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of
attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.
8.5 Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
Sections 4.1.6, 4.4, 5.3, 7 and 8.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent,
the Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers and any Interest Rate Providers that
the Agent, the Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers and any Interest Rate
Providers have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and
therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Agent, the Co-Agents, the
Banks, any L/C Providers or any Interest Rate Providers to seek and obtain
specific performance of other obligations of such Grantor contained in this
Subsidiary Security Agreement, that the covenants of such Grantor contained in
the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable
against such Grantor.
8.6 Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Subject to the provisions
of Section 8.18, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or
a L/C Default, the Agent shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned
or leased by any Grantor where any
23
24
of the Collateral pledged by such Grantor or any records relating to such
Collateral are located until the Obligations are paid or the Collateral is
removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay such
Grantor for such use and occupancy.
8.7 Dispositions Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1.6 and
notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Agent or other
conduct of the Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1.6) shall be binding upon the
Agent, the Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers or any Interest Rate
Providers unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Agent with the
consent of the Required Banks.
8.8 Definition of Certain Terms. Terms defined in the Illinois Uniform
Commercial Code which are not otherwise defined in this Subsidiary Security
Agreement are used in this Subsidiary Security Agreement as defined in the
Illinois Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof.
8.9 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Subsidiary
Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Grantors, the Agent, the Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers and any
Interest Rate Providers and their respective successors and assigns, except that
no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights under this Subsidiary
Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of
the Agent.
8.10 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of
the Grantors contained in this Subsidiary Security Agreement shall survive the
24
25
execution and delivery of this Subsidiary Security Agreement.
8.11 Taxes and Expenses. Any Taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal
or State authority in respect of this Subsidiary Security Agreement shall be
paid by the Grantors, together with interest and penalties, if any, other than
those Taxes expressly excluded under Section 3.2(a)(i) and 3.2(a)(ii) of the
Credit Agreement. The Grantors shall reimburse the Agent for any and all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges customarily charged by
the Agent (including reasonable attorneys', auditors' and accountants' fees and
reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who
may be employees of the Agent) paid or incurred by the Agent in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement
of this Subsidiary Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis,
administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including
the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the
Collateral).
8.12 Headings. The title of and section headings in this Subsidiary
Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern
the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Subsidiary
Security Agreement.
8.13 Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect
(notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Obligations or
commitments therefor outstanding) until (i) the Agent has received written
notice of its termination from the Company or its agents or the Liens in favor
of the Agent have been released, (ii) no Obligations to the Agent, the
Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers or any Interest Rate Providers shall be
outstanding and (iii) the Commitments shall have been terminated. At such time,
at the
25
26
reasonable request and at the sole expense of the Company, the Agent shall
execute and deliver such documents and instruments as may be necessary to
evidence such termination and release.
8.14 Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Agent relating to the
Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the
Grantors and the Agent relating to the Collateral.
8.15 CHOICE OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THIS SUBSIDIARY SECURITY
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE
LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE
COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS SUBSIDIARY SECURITY AGREEMENT AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES
THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT.
8.16 Distribution of Reports. Each Grantor authorizes the Agent, as the
Agent may elect in its sole discretion, to discuss with and furnish to the
Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers, any Interest Rate Providers or to any
other person or entity having an interest in the Obligations (whether as a
guarantor, pledgor of collateral, participant or otherwise) all financial
statements, audit reports and other information pertaining to such Grantor
whether such information was provided by such Grantor or prepared or obtained by
the Agent provided that such other person or entity agrees to hold such
information in confidence except for disclosure: (i) to legal counsel,
accountants and other professional advisors to such purchaser, (ii) to
regulatory officials, (iii) as required by law, regulation or legal process or
26
27
(iv) in connection with any legal proceeding to which such person or entity is a
party. Neither the Agent nor any of its employees, officers, directors or agents
makes any representation or warranty regarding any audit reports or other
analyses of any Grantor's condition which the Agent may in its sole discretion
prepare and elect to distribute, nor shall the Agent or any of its employees,
officers, directors or agents be liable to any person or entity receiving a copy
of such reports or analyses for any inaccuracy or omission contained in or
relating thereto.
8.17 Indemnity. Each Grantor hereby agrees to assume liability for, and
does hereby agree to indemnify and keep harmless the Agent, the Co-Agents, the
Banks, any L/C Providers and any Interest Rate Providers, and their respective
successors, assigns, agents and employees, from and against any and all
liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs, and expenses of any kind and
nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent, the Co-Agents,
the Banks, any L/C Providers or any Interest Rate Providers, or their respective
successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out
of this Subsidiary Security Agreement, or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance,
rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition,
sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including, without
limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Agent,
the Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers or any Interest Rate Providers or
any Grantor, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement),
excluding any such losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities,
costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider or any Interest Rate
Provider.
27
28
8.18 Control; Limitation of Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this
Subsidiary Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (i) do not and will not constitute, create, or
have the effect of constituting or creating, directly or indirectly, actual or
practical ownership of any Grantor by the Agent, the Co-Agents, the Banks, any
L/C Providers or any Interest Rate Providers, or control, affirmative or
negative, direct or indirect, by the Agent, the Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C
Providers or any Interest Rate Providers over the management or any other aspect
of the operation of any Grantor, which ownership and control remains exclusively
and at all times in the Company and such Grantor, and (ii) except for the grant
of a security interest hereunder to the extent permitted by law, do not and will
not constitute the transfer, assignment, or disposition in any manner,
voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, of any license at any time
issued by the FCC to any Grantor ("License"), or the transfer of control of any
Grantor within the meaning of Section 310 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsidiary
Security Agreement, any foreclosure on, sale, transfer or other disposition of,
or the exercise of any right to vote or consent with respect to, any of the
Collateral as provided herein or any other action taken or proposed to be taken
by the Agent, the Co- Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers and any Interest Rate
Providers hereunder which would affect the operational, voting, or other control
of any Grantor, shall be pursuant to Section 310 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, to any applicable state laws and to the applicable rules and
regulations thereunder and, if and to the extent required thereby, subject to
the prior approval of the FCC.
28
29
(c) Subject to Section 8.18(e), if a Default or a L/C Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall take any action which
the Agent, on behalf of the Agent, the Co-Agents, the Banks, any L/C Providers
and any Interest Rate Providers may reasonably request in order to transfer and
assign to the Agent, or to such one or more third parties as the Agent may
designate, or to a combination of the foregoing, each License. To enforce the
provisions of this Section 8.18 the Agent is empowered to request the
appointment of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such
receiver shall be instructed to seek from the FCC an involuntary transfer of
control of each such License for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to
whom control will ultimately be transferred. Each Grantor hereby agrees to
authorize such an involuntary transfer of control upon the request of the
receiver so appointed and, if any Grantor shall refuse to authorize the
transfer, such Grantor's approval may be required by the court. Upon the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or a L/C Default, each Grantor shall
further use its best efforts to assist in obtaining approval of the FCC, if
required, for any action or transactions contemplated by this Subsidiary
Security Agreement including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and
filing with the FCC of the assignor's or transferor's portion of any application
or applications for consent to the assignment of any License or transfer of
control necessary or appropriate under the FCC's rules and regulations for
approval of the transfer or assignment of any portion of the Collateral,
together with any License.
(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that the assignment or transfer of
each License is integral to the Agent's, the Co-Agents', the Banks', any L/C
Provider's and any Interest Rate Provider's realization of the value of the
Collateral, that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by such Grantor
to comply with the provi-
29
30
sions of this Section 8.18 and that such failure would not be adequately
compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that the agreements contained in
this Section 8.18 may be specifically enforced.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Subsidiary Security Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, neither the
Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider nor any Interest Rate Provider
shall, without first obtaining the approval of the FCC, take any action pursuant
to this Subsidiary Security Agreement which would constitute or result in any
assignment of a License or any change of control of any License or any Grantor
if such assignment or change in control would require, under then existing law
(including the written rules and regulations promulgated by the FCC), the prior
approval of the FCC.
8.19 Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the provisions set forth in Section
6.18 of the Credit Agreement, so long as no Default, Unmatured Default or L/C
Default has occurred and is continuing or is reasonably anticipated to occur,
insurance proceeds received in respect of Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures
shall be remitted to the Grantor pledging such Collateral by the Agent, provided
that such proceeds are used to rebuild, repair or restore such Inventory,
Equipment or Fixtures to a condition at least as good as its former condition or
to replace such Inventory, Equipment or Fixture with like property of at least
equal value.
8.20 Actions Not Releases; Waiver of Defenses. The lien hereunder and
the Grantors' obligations and the Agent's, the Co-Agents', the Banks', any L/C
Provider's and any Interest Rate Provider's rights hereunder shall not be
released, diminished, impaired, or adversely affected by the occurrence of any
one or more of the following events: (i) the taking or accepting of any other
security or assurance at any time existing in connection with any or all of the
Obligations; (ii) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination or loss of any
security or assurance at any time existing in
30
31
connection with any or all of the Obligations; (iii) the modification of,
amendment to, or waiver or compliance with any terms of any Loan Document; (iv)
the insolvency, bankruptcy, or lack of corporate power of any party at any time
liable for the payment of any or all of the Obligations, whether now existing or
hereafter occurring; (v) any renewal, extension, or rearrangement of the payment
of any or all of the Obligations, either with or without notice to or consent of
any Grantor in accordance with any Loan Document, or any adjustment, indulgence,
forbearance, or compromise that may be granted or given by the Agent, any
Co-Agent, any Bank or any Interest Rate Provider to any Grantor or the Company;
(vi) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of the Agent, any
Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider or any Interest Rate Provider to take or
prosecute any action in connection with any other agreement, document, guaranty,
or instrument evidencing, securing, or assuring the payment of all or any of the
Obligations; (vii) any failure of the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C
Provider or any Interest Rate Provider to notify any Grantor of any renewal,
extension, or assignment of the Obligations or any part thereof, or the release
of any security, or of any other action taken or refrained from being taken by
the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider or any Interest Rate
Provider against the Company or any Grantor or any new agreement among the
Agent, any Co- Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider, any Interest Rate Provider and
any Grantor (or any combination thereof), it being understood that neither the
Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider nor any Interest Rate Provider
shall be required to give any Grantor any notice of any kind under any
circumstances whatsoever, except as required under applicable law, with respect
to or in connection with the Obligations, including, without limitation, notice
of acceptance of this Subsidiary Security
31
32
Agreement or any Collateral ever delivered to or for the account of the Banks
hereunder; (viii) the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of all or any
part of the Obligations against any party obligated with respect thereto by
reason of the fact that the Obligations, or the interest paid or payable with
respect thereto, exceeds the amount permitted by law, the act of creating the
Obligations, or any part thereof, is ultra xxxxx, or the officers creating same
acted in excess of their authority, or for any other reason; or (ix) any payment
by any party obligated with respect thereto is held to constitute a preference
under applicable laws or for any other reason the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank,
any L/C Provider or any Interest Rate Provider is required to refund such
payment or pay the amount thereof to someone else. Each Grantor expressly waives
any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any
disability or other defense of any of the Company or any other Grantor with
respect to the Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any
security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing
perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iii) the
cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any of the Company or any
other Grantor (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all
Obligations), (iv) any failure of the Agent to marshal assets in favor of any
Grantor or any other Person, (v) any failure of the Agent to give notice of sale
or other disposition to any Grantor or any defect in any notice that may be
given in connection with any sale or disposition, (vi) any act or omission of
the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider or any Interest Rate
Provider or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge
or release of any of the Company or any other Grantor or the Obligations or any
other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (vii) any
law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be
larger in amount nor in other respects
32
33
more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety's or
guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal obligations, or (viii) any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any Grantor, all whether or not any Grantor shall have had notice
or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (viii) of this paragraph. Each Grantor expressly waives all setoffs and
counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices
of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with
respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Security
Agreement or of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional
Obligations.
8.21 Waiver of Subrogation. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives any
claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company
or any other Grantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of such Grantor's obligations under this Security Agreement or any
other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider or any Interest Rate
Provider against the Company or any other Grantor or any collateral which the
Agent now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right
arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right
to take or receive from the Company or any other Grantor, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or
security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid
to any Grantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Obligations shall
not have been paid in cash in full and the Commitments have not been terminated,
such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such
33
34
Grantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Agent, the Co-Agents, the
Banks, any L/C Providers and any Interest Rate Providers, and shall forthwith be
paid to the Agent to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured. Each Grantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit
Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits.
8.22 Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding,
(a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and
agreements included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein and shall
perform all of its duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements to
the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not been executed,
(b) the exercise by the Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall
not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under any such
contracts or agreements included in the Collateral, and
(c) neither the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C Provider
nor any Interest Rate Provider shall have any obligation or liability under any
such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this
Security Agreement, nor shall the Agent, any Co-Agent, any Bank, any L/C
Provider or any Interest Rate Provider be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
