Credit Facilities.
(i)
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving
Credit Lender agrees to make one or more Advances pursuant to this Section
2.01(a)
(collectively, the "Revolving
Credit Loans")
to
Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in
an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding which does not exceed the
amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment;
provided,
however,
that:
-
26
-
(1)
the
sum of (x) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding hereunder, plus
(y) the
Letter of Credit Usage shall at no time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect; and
(2)
the
sum of (x) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding hereunder, plus

no
time exceed the lesser of (i) forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale

to
time by permanent reductions in the Revolving Credit Commitments or repayments
of the Term Loan Commitments.
(ii) The
borrowings under this Section
2.01(a)
shall be
evidenced by Borrowers' Second Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Credit
Notes issued to the respective Revolving Credit Lenders (together with any
additional Secured Revolving Credit Notes issued to any assignee(s) of the
Revolving Credit Commitments under Article
XII
or
otherwise issued in addition to, in substitution therefor or amendment or
replacement thereof, collectively the "Revolving
Credit Notes"),
such
Revolving Credit Notes to be in the form of Exhibit
A
attached

Lenders shall obtain the Administrative Agent's consent to such Revolving Credit
Loan prior to making the requested Advance.
-
27
-
(b) Letter
of Credit Facility. (i)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees
to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers (each, an "L/C")
or to
purchase participations or execute indemnities, guarantees or reimbursement
obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C
Undertaking")
with
respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing
Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer will be Xxxxx Fargo) for the account
of
Borrowers. If at the time any L/C is issued, (A) the Issuer waives any
conditions precedent to such L/C; or (B) a Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Issuer shall get the Administrative Agent's consent to such
L/C
prior to issuing such L/C. To request the issuance of an L/C or an L/C
Undertaking (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C
or
L/C Undertaking), the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers,
shall
hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the
Issuing Lender and Collateral Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested
date
of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance
of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the L/C or L/C Undertaking to
be
amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or
extension, the date on which such L/C or L/C Undertaking is to expire, the
amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof (or of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable), and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such
L/C
or L/C Undertaking. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers also
shall
be applicants under the application with respect to any Underlying Letter of
Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The Issuing Lender
shall
have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would
result after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit:
(A) the
Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the amount by which the lesser of (v) the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (w) forty-five percent (45%) of
the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations, exceeds the amount of
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the amount of outstanding Term Loans,
or
(B) the
Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $500,000.
Borrowers
and the Revolving Credit Lenders acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying
Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that already are
outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding
Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to the
Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its discretion), including the requirement
that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing
Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers
immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying
to
Collateral Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 11:00
a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if
Borrowers shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C
Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by Borrowers prior to such time on such date,
then
not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on (i) the Business Day that
Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m.,
California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such
reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be
deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the
rate then applicable to Loans under Section
2.02.
To the
extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers'
obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced
by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Collateral Agent of
any
payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Collateral Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Revolving
Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section
2.01(b)(v)
to
reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and the
Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.
-
28
-
(ii) Promptly
following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section
2.01(b)(i),
each
Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment agrees to fund its
Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection
on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested such Advance
and
Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received
by
it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit
(or
an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without
any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit
Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed
to
have granted and assigned to each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving
Credit Commitment, and each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased and assumed, a participation in
each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk
Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Revolving Credit
Lender agrees to pay to Collateral Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender,
such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the
Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance
of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit
Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Collateral
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender's
Pro
Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not
reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (i) of this
Section
2.01(a),
or of
any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason.
Each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment acknowledges
and
agrees that its obligation to deliver to Collateral Agent, for the account
of
the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share pursuant
to
this Section
2.01(b)(ii)
shall be
absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding
the
occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure
to
satisfy any condition set forth in Section
3
hereof.
If any such Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to Collateral Agent
the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments
made
by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this
Section, Collateral Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid in full,
or
if not paid in full within three (3) Business Days, then at the Base Rate until
paid in full.
(iii) Each
Borrower hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify, save, defend, and
hold the Revolving Credit Lenders harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or
liability, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Revolving Credit
Lenders arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided,
however,
that no
Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense,
or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the
Issuing Lender or any other Lender. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the
Underlying Issuer's regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter
of
Credit or by Issuing Lender's interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing
Lender to or for such Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may
be
different from such Borrower's own, and each Borrower understands and agrees
that the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be liable for any error, negligence,
or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers'
instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications,
amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C
Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer
for
certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such
Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to jointly and severally
indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Revolving Credit Lenders harmless with
respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or
liability incurred by the Revolving Credit Lenders under any L/C Undertaking
as
a result of the Revolving Credit Lenders' indemnification of any Underlying
Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to
indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other Revolving
Credit Lender.
-
29
-
(iv) Each
Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to
the
Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property
received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit
and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender's instructions with respect
to
all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and
the
related application.
(v) Any
and
all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender
relating to Underlying Letters of Credit immediately shall be reimbursable
by
Borrowers to Collateral Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being
acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the
issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum
times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance
charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also
imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and
renewals.
(vi) If
by
reason of (x) any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation
or
any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority, or (y) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Revolving Credit
Lenders with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether
having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority
including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in
effect (and any successor thereto):
(A) any
reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified
in
respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or
(B) there
shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders any
other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of
Credit issued pursuant hereto;
and
the
result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to
the
Lenders of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit
or
to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Revolving Credit
Lenders, then, and in any such case, Collateral Agent may, at any time within
a
reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received
is reduced, notify Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall pay on demand
such amounts as Collateral Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate
the
Revolving Credit Lenders for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together
with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in
full
thereof at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans hereunder. The
determination by Collateral Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section,
as
set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable
detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

Aggregate Term Loan Commitments then in effect; and
(B) the
sum
of (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans made on the Closing

shall not exceed the lesser of (i) forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed
Sale Value of Eligible Stations; and (ii) $53,000,000, as may be reduced from
time to time by permanent reductions in the Revolving Credit Commitments or
repayments of the Term Loan Commitments.
(ii) The
borrowings under this Section

shall be
evidenced by Borrowers' Secured Promissory Notes issued to the respective Term

-
31
-
(b) Determination
of Interest Rate for Loans.
Except
as hereinafter provided, the interest rate charged by the Lenders in respect
to
the Loans shall be either (1) the applicable LIBOR Rate pursuant to a Notice
of
Conversion or Continuation effective on the first day of the Interest Period,
plus
nine and
one-half percent (9.50%), or, (2) if such LIBOR Rate is not available or
published, or at Borrowers' option, the Base Rate. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if Borrowers indefeasibly pay all Obligations in full
on
or prior to March 28, 2008, Lenders shall credit to Borrowers from the Early
Termination Fee an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest
actually paid or owing pursuant to the terms hereof and the amount of interest
that would have been due or paid if the interest rate on the Closing Date had
been the Reduced Interest Rate.
(c) Choosing
Interest Rate Basis and Interest Period.
(i) At
least
three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of each Interest Period for each
LIBOR Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give the Billing Agent a Notice
of
Conversion or Continuation specifying whether all or a portion of such LIBOR
Loan (1) is to be Continued in whole or in part as or to one or more LIBOR
Loans
(and such Notice shall set forth the applicable duration of the next Interest
Period as one (1),
three
(3)
or six (6) months), (2) is to be Converted in whole or in part into a Base
Rate
Loan, or (3) is to be repaid. The failure to give such notice shall be
deemed to constitute a request by Borrowers to continue such Loan as a LIBOR
Loan for a one-month LIBOR Interest Period on the last day of the applicable
Interest Period. Upon the last day of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Loan
will, subject to the provisions hereof, be so Continued, Converted or repaid,
as
applicable and as set forth in such Notice or, if no such Notice is given,
as
provided herein.
(ii) With
respect to a Base Rate Loan, such Loan shall continue to bear interest at the
Base Rate unless and until the Borrowers request that such Loan be Converted
into a LIBOR Loan as follows. The Borrowers may give Billing Agent three (3)
Business Days prior written notice in the form of a Notice of Conversion or
Continuation specifying that all or a portion of such Base Rate Loan is to
be
Converted in whole or in part into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to the terms hereof,
and the applicable Interest Period (and such Notice shall set forth the
applicable duration of the next Interest Period as one (1),
three
(3)
or six (6) month period). Upon the date set forth in such Notice, such Base
Rate
Loan will, subject to the provisions hereof, be Converted into a LIBOR Loan
with
an initial Interest Period as set forth in such Notice.
(d) Interest
Payment Dates.
Interest on the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A and Letter of Credit Fees
shall accrue as of and after the date hereof and shall be payable by Borrowers,
jointly and severally, in arrears, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim
on
the first day of each month, commencing March 1, 2008, and on the Maturity
Date,
whether by reason of acceleration, prepayment, payment or otherwise. Interest
on
the Term Loans B shall accrue as of and after the date hereof and be due and
shall be payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally, in arrears, without setoff
deduction or counterclaim on the first Business Day of each month, commencing
March 1, 2008, and on the Maturity Date, whether by reason of acceleration,
prepayment, payment or otherwise.
-
32
-
(e) Effect
of Defaults, Etc.
(i) During
the existence of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance under
the Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest,
fees, expenses or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, shall bear interest, from and including the date such Event of
Default occurred until such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing
as
provided herein, at a rate per annum (the "Default
Rate")
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day
year)
equal to two percent (2.00%) above the interest rate(s) otherwise applicable
hereunder; and the Letter of Credit fee provided for herein shall be increased
by two percent (2.00%) above the per annum rate otherwise applicable
hereunder.
(ii) If
any
installment of interest is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date,
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to Billing Agent for the
account of Lenders holding the delinquent interest obligations, a late and
handling charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of such overdue
installment.
(iii) Nothing
in this Section
2.02(e)
shall
affect the rights of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders to
exercise any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law
arising upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
(f) Interest
Calculations.
Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year counting the actual number of days elapsed.
(g) Intent
Not to Violate Usury Laws.
(i) All
agreements between or among Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent,
Billing Agent and any Lender(s) are hereby expressly limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity
of the indebtedness or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid
for
the use or forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, the
Notes or any other Loan Document exceed the maximum amount which any Lender
is
permitted to receive under applicable law. If, from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any
other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due,
shall involve exceeding such amount, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall
automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any
circumstances, any Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which would
exceed such maximum amount, such amount which would be excessive interest shall
be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not
to
the payment of interest. As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean
the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided,
however,
that in
the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible
rate of interest, then this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents
shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. This provision
shall
control every other provision of all agreements between or among Borrowers,
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Billing Agent and any
Lender.
-
33
-
(ii) SPLenders
and Borrowers intend that the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans qualify
for
the exemption set forth in Section 25118(b) of the California Corporations
Code to California's usury provisions. In this regard, each of SPLenders and
each of Borrowers hereby represents, warrants and agrees as
follows:
(A) the
Loans
made to Borrowers by SPLenders pursuant to Section 2.01(a)
and
(c),
respectively, constitute a single coordinated loan made to Borrowers by
SPLenders;
(B) the
advance of the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers by SPLenders
pursuant to Section 2.01(a)
and
(c)
are
conditioned upon all the Borrowers' participation in the Term Loans and
Revolving Credit Loans; and
(C) each
of
Borrowers and SPLenders, by reason of its business and financial experience,
has
the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the Term Loans
and
Revolving Credit Loans.
(iii) The
Lenders and the Borrowers also intend that the Loans qualify for the exemption
set forth in Section 3707 of the California Financial Code to California's
usury
provisions. In this regard, each of the Lenders and each of the Borrowers hereby
acknowledges and agrees that each of the Loans was "arranged by" the Collateral
Agent, as the term "arranged by" is used in Section 3707 of the California
Financial Code.
Section
2.03. Loan
Requests.
Each
request by Borrowers for Loans (other than the initial Loans, if made
concurrently herewith) shall be in an amount not less than $250,000, and if
greater than such amount, an integral multiple of $50,000, and shall be made
by
Borrower Representative not later than (i) 11:00 A.M. (California time) on
the
Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, by a written Loan Request,
in
the form of Schedule

(i) the date of such Loans and (ii) the use of proceeds thereof. Billing Agent
shall promptly notify Lenders of such Loan Request and the information contained
therein. Such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. The
Loans shall be made by the applicable Lenders Pro Rata
as
provided in Section
2.13.
Not

each
applicable Lender shall make available to Billing Agent the portion of the
Loans
to be made by it on such date, in immediately available funds, for the account
of Borrower. The amount so received by Billing Agent shall, subject to the
terms
and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrowers by disbursing
such funds as indicated in writing in the related Loan Request prior to the
date
such Loans are proposed to be made.
Section
2.04. Repayment
of Loans.
(a) (i) Borrowers
hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally promise to pay to Collateral
Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender on the Maturity Date the then
aggregate unpaid principal balance of such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving
Credit Loans.
-
34
-
(ii) Borrowers
hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally promise to pay to Billing Agent
for the account of each Term Loan Lender on the Maturity Date the then aggregate
unpaid principal balance of such Term Loan Lender's Term Loans.
(b) In
addition, in connection with any reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments, or at any other time that the aggregate outstanding and unpaid
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Letter of Credit Usage
exceeds the then applicable Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrowers
hereby jointly and severally promise to repay the Revolving Credit Loans in
an
aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, at the time that the sum
of
(x) the aggregate outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans,
(y) the then outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit
Loans, and (z) the Letter of Credit Usage, shall exceed forty-five percent
(45%)
of the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations, Borrowers hereby jointly
and
severally promise to repay the Revolving Credit Loans (or, if the Revolving
Credit Loans have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments
terminated, to repay the Term Loans) in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess.
(c) If
any
installment of principal is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date,
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to Billing Agent for the
Lenders' account a late and handling charge equal to five percent (5%) of the
unpaid portion of such overdue installment.
Section
2.05. Payments,
Prepayments and Termination or Reduction of the
Commitments.
(a) Voluntary
Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.
Upon at
least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to Billing Agent in the
form
of Schedule
2.05(a)
(each, a
"Commitment
Reduction Notice")
signed
by a Duly Authorized Officer, Borrowers may permanently terminate or permanently
reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, provided
as
follows:
(i) any
such
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $100,000 or, if
greater, an integral multiple of $100,000;
(ii) any
such
reduction shall apply to each Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Pro Rata as provided in Section
2.13;
and
(iii) no
such
reduction shall cause the Revolving Credit Commitments to be reduced below
the
Letter of Credit Usage, unless this Agreement is terminated and all Obligations
are paid in full in accordance with Section
2.05(c).
Each
Commitment Reduction Notice shall specify the date fixed for such termination
or
reduction, and the aggregate principal amount thereof and the amounts payable
in
respect thereof under Section
2.06
or
2.10.
No
voluntary prepayment shall be deemed to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments
unless accompanied by a Commitment Reduction Notice.
-
35
-
(b) Mandatory
Commitment Reductions and Prepayments.
(i) Casualty
Events.
Subject
to the provisions of Section
6.02,
in the
event of receipt by any Borrower of any Insurance Proceeds as a result of a
Casualty Event relating to the assets of any Borrower (A) in excess of $100,000
(except to the extent such proceeds are used by Borrower within the Restoration
Period to restore, repair or replace the Damaged Property as provided in
Section
6.02),
(B) at
any time that a Default has occurred and is continuing, or (C) at any time
a
Borrower is deemed to have elected to apply such Insurance Proceeds to prepay
the Loans by such amount as provided in Section
6.02
or to
have determined not to restore, repair or replace the asset or property affected
by such Casualty Event, the Loans shall be prepaid as provided in Section
2.05(c)
in an
amount equal to 100% of such Insurance Proceeds.
(ii) Dispositions
of Assets.
Without
limiting the obligation of Borrowers under Section 7.03
to
obtain the consent of the Required Lenders to any Disposition not otherwise
permitted hereunder, Borrowers agree (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the
occurrence of any Disposition, to deliver to Billing Agent (in sufficient copies
for each Lender) a statement, certified by a Duly Authorized Officer of Borrower
Representative and in reasonable detail, of the estimated amount of the Net
Cash
Proceeds of such Disposition and (B) that in the event such Disposition is
closed, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans on the date of such Disposition, in
an
aggregate amount equal to (x) eighty-six and one-quarter percent (86.25%) of
the
first Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in aggregate Sale Amounts; (y)
seventy-eight percent (78%) of the second Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)
in
aggregate Sale Amounts; and (z) sixty-nine and three-quarters percent (69.75%)
of any additional Sale Amounts. That portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from
each
Disposition that exceeds the amount required to be paid to Lenders pursuant
to
this Section
2.05(b)(ii)
shall be
retained by Borrower at the closing of such Disposition(s) and may be used
for
any business purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prepayment requirements
of this Section
2.05(b)(ii)
shall
not apply with respect to Dispositions in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$250,000 in any calendar year.
As
an
example, assume Borrowers dispose of a Station (the "Sold
Station")
in
exchange for Net Cash Proceeds of $10,000,000, and the Sale Amount for the
Sold
Station (as set forth on Schedule
1.01)
is
$8,000,000. Assume further that, for purposes of this example, the Disposition
of the Sold Station is (i) the first Disposition of a Station to occur after
the
Closing Date; and (ii) the only Disposition occurring during such Fiscal Year.
At the closing of the Disposition of the Sold Station, an amount equal to
$6,900,000 (i.e., the Sale Amount of $8,000,000 multiplied by 86.25%) would
be
paid to the Billing Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and $3,100,000 would
be retained by the Borrowers.
(iii) Equity
and Debt
Issuances.
Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to Billing Agent for the benefit
of
Lenders as a prepayment of the principal of the Loans (A) one hundred
percent (100%) of the cash proceeds (net of reasonable and customary related
out-of-pocket fees and expenses) of the sale or issuance of any Equity
Securities by Borrowers to any Person (except to the extent that the Agents
in
their sole discretion consent in writing to the use of such net proceeds for
funding of Borrowers' business operations); and (B) one hundred percent
(100%) of the cash proceeds (net of reasonable and customary related
out-of-pocket fees and expenses) of the issuance by Borrowers of any
Indebtedness to any Person, in each case, within two (2) Business Days of such
Borrower's receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
2.05(b)(iii)
to the
contrary, Borrowers may unilaterally elect to not make a mandatory prepayment
from issuances of Equity Securities and Indebtedness and use such funds for
Borrowers' business operations and related proceeds so long as the net cash
proceeds of issuances do not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate.
-
36
-
(iv) Mandatory
Reductions in Revolving Credit Commitments.
All
payments of principal under Section
2.05(b)(i), (ii)
and
(iii)
shall be
applied in accordance with Section
2.05(c)(iv),
provided,
however,
that
all such payments in respect to the Revolving Credit Loans as a result of the
provisions of Section 2.05(b)(i),
(ii)
and
(iii),
shall
effect a simultaneous dollar-for-dollar permanent reduction in the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments; provided,
further,
that at
the time of receipt of such proceeds from Casualty Event or condemnation,
Borrowers may notify Billing Agent of their intention to use such proceeds
for
reinvestments permitted by this Agreement during the Restoration Period, in
which event (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments will be reduced
at the expiration of the applicable Restoration Period in the amount of such
proceeds not utilized for permitted reinvestments by Borrowers, (ii) except
to the extent that the payment is intended to be a permanent prepayment of
the
Loans and corresponding permanent reduction in the Commitments, and any
remaining proceeds from Casualty Event or condemnation not so applied to payment
of the Loans shall be held in an interest-bearing deposit account maintained
with a financial institution acceptable to Collateral Agent subject to a
perfected security interest in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of
Lenders until such proceeds are used for reinvestment or applied to the payment
of the Loans as set forth herein, and (iii) availability for borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Commitments in an amount equal to the amount of
such
payments shall be restricted to permitted reinvestments in accordance with
this
Agreement and within the Restoration Period, and, provided,
further,
that
each Revolving Credit Lender shall have the right to waive such permanent
reduction requirement and may, in lieu thereof, impose a reserve in the amount
determined by such Revolving Credit Lender, which shall not exceed the amount
of
the permanent reduction being waived.
(c) Application
of Reductions, Payments and Prepayments, Cash Collateral;
Etc.
(i) All
prepayments of the Loans under this Section
2.05:
(A)
shall be made without set-off, deduction or counterclaim and (B) shall be
applied in accordance with clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv)
hereof.
(ii) In
addition, if, following a Disposition, the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding
and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans, (y) the then outstanding and
unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, and (z) the Letter
of
Credit Usage, shall exceed forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale
Value
of Eligible Stations, Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to repay
the Revolving Credit Loans (or if the Revolving Credit Loans have been repaid
in
full, the Term Loans) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition,
upon any reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrowers shall pay
any
then accrued Unused Line Fees.
-
37
-
(iii) On
the
date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations (including contingent
reimbursement obligations of Borrowers with respect to any outstanding Letters
of Credit) immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand
(including either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Collateral Agent
for the benefit of those Revolving Credit Lenders with a Revolving Credit
Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage,
or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing
Lender). No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge
Borrowers of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the
Collateral Agent's Liens in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all
Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and the Revolving Credit
Lenders' obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been
terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations
have been fully and finally discharged and the Lenders' obligations to provide
additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably,
Collateral Agent will, at Borrowers' sole expense, execute and deliver any
UCC
termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of
trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or
release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably
necessary to release, as of record, the Collateral Agent's Liens and all notices
of security interests and liens previously filed by Collateral Agent with
respect to the Obligations.
(iv) All
payments shall be remitted to Collateral Agent and all such payments (other
than
payments received while no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and which relate to the payment of principal or interest of specific
Obligations then due or which relate to the payment of specific fees then due),
and all proceeds of Collateral received by Collateral Agent, shall be applied
as
follows:
A. first,
to
pay any expenses then due to Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
and
any indemnities owed to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Loan Documents, each on a ratable basis, under the Loan
Documents, until paid in full;
B. second,
to pay any expenses then due to Lenders (other than the Term Loan B Lenders)
and
any indemnities owed to the Lenders (other than the Term Loan B Lenders)
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, each on a ratable basis, under
the
Loan Documents, until paid in full;
C. third,
to
pay any fees then due to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent pursuant
to
the terms of this Agreement, on a ratable basis, under the Loan Documents until
paid in full;
D. fourth,
to pay any fees then due to Lenders (other than the Term Loan B Lenders) under
the Loan Documents, on a ratable basis, until paid in full;
E. fifth,
ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Loans (other than the Term Loans
B) until paid in full;
F. sixth,
to
pay the principal of all Revolving Credit Loans until paid in full (provided,
however,
that
each Revolving Credit Lender shall have the right to waive payment under this
paragraph (F) in its sole discretion, in which case the proceeds shall be
applied as set forth in paragraphs below);
-
38
-
G. seventh,
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to
pay
the principal of all Term Loans A until paid in full (provided,
however,
that
each Term Loan A Lender shall, with the consent of the Administrative Agent
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, have the right to waive full payment
under this paragraph (G) in its sole discretion, in which case a portion of
the
sums available after application of the foregoing paragraphs shall be used
to
pay the principal of all Term Loans until paid in full, such portion to be
equal
to a fraction of such sums, the numerator of which fraction is the unpaid
principal balance of all Term Loans and the denominator of which fraction is
the
unpaid principal balance of all Term Loans, and the remaining portion of the
proceeds shall be applied as set forth in paragraphs below);
H. eighth,
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to
pay
expenses and fees then due to the Term Loan B Lenders and indemnities owed
to
the Term Loan B Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents;
I. ninth,
so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay
interest due to Term Loan B Lenders in respect of the Term Loans B and to pay
the principal of all Term Loans B until paid in full;
J. tenth,
if
a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Collateral
Agent, to be held by Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Issuing Lender
and those Revolving Credit Lenders having a Revolving Credit Commitment, as
cash
collateral in an amount up to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage
until paid in full;
K. eleventh,
if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay
the
principal of all Term Loans A until paid in full;
L. twelfth,
if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay
expenses, fees and interest due to Term Loan B Lenders in respect of the Term
Loans B, to pay indemnities owed to the Term Loan B Lenders pursuant to the
Loan
Documents, and to pay the principal of all Term Loans B until paid in
full;
M. thirteenth,
to pay any other Obligations until paid in full; and
N. last,
to
Borrowers or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable
law.
(v) For
purposes of the foregoing, "paid in full" means payment of all amounts owing
under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees,
service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest
accrued after the commencement of any insolvency proceeding), default interest,
interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would
be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any insolvency
proceeding.
-
39
-
(vi) In
the
event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section
2.05
and
other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention
of
the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be
read
together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with
each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot
be
resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section
2.05
shall
control and govern.
(d) Early
Termination Fees.
In the
event of any prepayment or repayment of a Loan made with proceeds of any sale
of
Equity Securities or refinancing with any lender other than the Lender receiving
such prepayment or repayment, prior to the date which is thirty-four (34) months
after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Billing Agent for the ratable
benefit of Lender or Lenders entitled to such Early Termination Fee a fee (the
"Early
Termination Fee")
calculated as the lesser of (i) four and one-half percent (4.50%) of the
principal amount so paid or prepaid to such Lenders; and (ii) the Make Whole
Amount.
Any
prepayment or repayment made on or after that date which is thirty-four (34)
months after the Closing Date shall be payable at par. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(d),
no
Early Termination Fee shall be payable (a) in connection with any
prepayment or repayment from proceeds of a refinancing to any Lender
participating in such refinancing, or (b) in respect to any mandatory
prepayment of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i)
or
(ii)
so long
as the Commitments are not being terminated in their entirety; provided,
however,
that if
the Lenders waive any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.05(b)
in
connection with any mandatory prepayment event described in Section 2.05(b),
any
voluntary prepayment of such sums by Borrowers (exclusive, however, of voluntary
prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and temporary prepayments of the
Revolving Credit Loans pending Borrowers' election to reinvest proceeds as
permitted by this Agreement) shall be subject to the payment of the Early
Termination Fee.
Section
2.06. Fees.
(a) Unused
Line Fees.
Borrowers agree jointly and severally to pay to Collateral Agent, for the
ratable account of each Revolving Credit Lender, from the Closing Date through
the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, non-refundable fees (the "Unused
Line Fees")
payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing April
1,
2008, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, with a final payment on the
date of the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in the amount
equal
to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year) times the result of (i)
the
average daily Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments during the immediately
preceding quarter, less (ii) the sum of (A) the average Daily Balance of
Advances that were outstanding during the immediately preceding quarter, plus
(B) the average Daily Balance of the Letter of Credit Usage during the
immediately preceding quarter. For purposes of calculating the daily Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments for the period from October 1, 2007 through the
Closing Date, the term "Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment" shall have the
meaning set forth in the Second A&R Credit Agreement.
-
40
-
(b) Audit,
Appraisal, and Valuation Charges.
Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent audit, appraisal and valuation fees and charges as follows:
(i) a fee of $850 per day, per auditor, plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses for each financial audit of Borrowers, performed by personnel employed
by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, (ii) a fee of $1,500
per day, per appraiser, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, for each
appraisal of the Collateral performed by personnel employed by Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, and (iii) the actual reasonable charges paid or
incurred by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent if it elects to employ
the
services of one or more third Persons to perform financial audits of Borrowers,
to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, to assess the Borrowers'
business valuation or to obtain a credit rating for the Term Loans (if
commercially reasonable).
(c) Letter
of Credit Fee.
Borrowers shall pay Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Revolving
Credit Lenders, subject to any letter agreement between Administrative Agent
and
individual Revolving Credit Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to
the
charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.01(b)(v)
which
shall accrue at a rate equal to 7.75% per annum times the Daily Balance of
the
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
(e) Fee
Letter.
Borrowers agree jointly and severally to pay, when due and payable, to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of Administrative Agent and, to the extent
applicable, SPLenders and Lenders all fees required to be paid by the Fee
Letter.
(f) Collateral
Agency Fee.
Borrowers agree jointly and severally to pay to Collateral Agent for its account
from and after the Closing Date and until the later of (i) the Maturity Date
and
(ii) the date on which the Obligations are paid in full, a collateral
administrative fee in the amount of $8,333.00 per month, payable monthly in
arrears on each Monthly Payment Date.
Section
2.07. Requirements
of Law.
(a) In
the
event that any Regulatory Change shall:
(i) change
the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement
or any Notes in respect of any Loans made by it (other than taxes imposed on
the
overall net income of such Lender in its jurisdiction of organization or in
the
jurisdiction where its lending office is located);
(ii) impose
or
modify any reserve, compulsory loan assessment, special deposit or similar
requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, any office of such Lender (including
any
of such Loans); or
(iii) impose
any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of Loans (or any of
such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities);
-
41
-
and
the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase such Lender's costs of
making or maintaining any Loans or any Commitment, or to reduce any amount
receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any Commitment, in each case
only to the extent that such additional amounts are not included in the Prime
Rate applicable to such Loans, then Borrowers shall pay on demand to such
Lender, through Billing Agent, and from time to time as specified by such
Lender, such additional amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine are
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable.
(b) If
at any
time after the date of this Agreement any Lender shall have reasonably
determined that the adoption or implementation of any Regulatory Change
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof (whether or not having the force of law), has or will have the effect
of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such
Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of the existence of its
obligations hereunder (whether with respect to the Commitments, the Loans or
any
other Obligation) to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company
could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time
following written notice by such Lender to Borrowers as provided in paragraph
(c) of this Section, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such
Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, through Billing Agent, such
additional amount or amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine will
compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such
reduction, provided that to the extent that any or all of Borrowers' liability
under this Section arises following the date of the adoption of any such
Regulatory Change (the "Effective
Date"),
such
compensation shall be payable only with respect to that portion of such
liability arising after notice of such Regulatory Change is given by such Lender
to Borrower.
(c) If
any
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall notify Borrowers in writing of the event by reason of which
it
has become so entitled within thirty (30) days after such Lender becomes aware
of such claim. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation
of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such
Lender to Borrowers shall be delivered to Borrowers and the other Lenders
promptly after the delivery of the initial notice to Borrowers and, if not
objected to reasonably and in good faith by Borrowers within fifteen (15) days
of their receipt of such certificate, shall be conclusive so long as it reflects
a reasonable basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and
does
not contain any manifest error. The covenants contained in this Section shall
survive for six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement and
the
payment of the outstanding Loans. No failure on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) above on any one occasion shall
constitute a waiver of its rights to demand compensation on any other occasion.
The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless
of
any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of any law,
regulation or other condition which shall give rise to any demand by such Lender
for compensation thereunder. If any Lender claims increased costs, loss or
expenses pursuant to this Section, then such Lender, if requested by the
Borrowers, shall use reasonable efforts to take such steps that such Borrowers
reasonably request as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such increased
costs, losses or expenses so long as taking such steps would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
Any recovery by any Lender of amounts previously borne by a Borrower pursuant
to
this Section shall be promptly remitted, without interest (unless such Lender
received interest on such recovered amounts), to such Borrower by such
Lender.
-
42
-
(d) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement,
any
Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
any
LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with
respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to
Billing Agent:
(i) such
Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of
such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for
additional Interest Periods and Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such
duration) be Converted into LIBOR Loans), whereupon any request for a LIBOR
Loan
or to Convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan or to Continue a LIBOR Loan,
as
applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only,
be
deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan (or a request to Continue a Base Rate
Loan
as such for an additional Interest Period or to Convert a LIBOR Loan into a
Base
Rate Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently
withdrawn; and
(ii) such
Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be Converted
to
Base Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically
Converted to Base Rate Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as
provided in the last sentence of this Section
2.07(d).
In
the
event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clauses (i) or (ii) of this
Section
2.07(d),
all
payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied
to
repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted
LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate
Loans
made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such LIBOR
Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this Section
2.07(d),
a
notice to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan
made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently
applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective
on the date of receipt by the Borrowers.

Section
2.08. Not
Used.
Section
2.09. Taxes.
(a) All
payments made by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made
free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (all such taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being
hereinafter called "Taxes");
provided,
however,
that
the term "Taxes" shall not include net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed
in
lieu of net income taxes) and general intangibles taxes (such as those imposed
by the State of Florida) imposed on any Agent or any Lender, as the case may
be,
as a result of a present, former or future connection or nexus between the
jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and such Agent
or
such Lender other than that arising from such Agent or such Lender having
executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under,
or
enforced, this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Security Documents. If any
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or
any
Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to such Agent or
such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent
or
such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts
payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement
and
the Notes. Whenever any Taxes are payable by Borrowers in respect of this
Agreement or the Notes, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrowers shall
send
to Collateral Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender,
as
the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received
by
Borrowers showing payment thereof. If a Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when
due
to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Collateral Agent the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall
indemnify Agents, Documentation Agent and Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as
a
result of any such failure. If, after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers under
this Section, any part of any Tax paid by any Agent or any Lender is
subsequently recovered by such Agent or such Lender, such Agent or such Lender
shall reimburse Borrowers to the extent of the amount so recovered. A
certificate of an officer of such Agent or such Lender setting forth the amount
of such recovery and the basis therefor shall, in the absence of obvious error,
be conclusive. Agents and Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to notify
Borrowers of their attempts, if any, to obtain abatements of any such Taxes
and
the receipt by Agents or Lenders of any funds in connection therewith. The
agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable
hereunder.
(b) If
any
Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning
of
the Code, and such Lender is entitled to an exemption (or is exempt) from or
reduction of United States withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the
Code or any other law of the United States, or any treaty to which the United
States is a party, such Lender will deliver to Collateral Agent and Borrowers
prior to the first date as of which any payment is required to be made to it
hereunder (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8ECI, or a successor applicable form, as the case
may
be, and (ii) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
or a
successor applicable form, as the case may be. Each such Lender also agrees
to
deliver to Borrowers and Collateral Agent two further copies of the said Form
W-8 BEN or W-8ECI and Form W-9, or successor applicable forms or other manner
of
certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form
expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring
a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrowers, and
such
extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrowers
or
Collateral Agent, unless in any such case an event (including, without
limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to
the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises
Borrowers and Collateral Agent. Such Lender shall certify (x) in the case of
a
Form W-8BEN or W-8 ECI, that it is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes and (y) in the case of a Form W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption
from United States backup withholding tax. In no event shall Borrowers be
responsible for any loss incurred as a result of a Lender's failure to comply
with this subsection (b).
-
44
-
(c) If
any
Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Collateral
Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent
to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction.
If
the forms or other documentation required under subsection (b) above are not
executed, completed and/or delivered to Collateral Agent, then Collateral Agent
may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms
or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by Collateral Agent
to or
for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by
Borrowers.
(d) If
the
Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, domestic or
foreign, asserts a claim that Agents or Documentation Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (whether
because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed,
completed and/or delivered, because such Lender failed to notify Collateral
Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or
reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender
shall indemnify each Agent and Borrowers fully for all amounts paid, directly
or
indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest,
and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable
to an
Agent under this subsection (d), together with all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid in connection
therewith.
(e) If
at any
time a Borrower requests any Lender to deliver any forms other than
documentation pursuant to subsection (b) above, then Borrowers shall, upon
demand of such Lender, reimburse such Lender for any reasonable costs or
expenses incurred by such Lender in the preparation or delivery of such forms
or
other documentation.
Section
2.10. Indemnification
for LIBOR Breakage Charges.
Borrowers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall pay to
Billing Agent, for the account of each Lender, promptly upon the request of
such
Lender delivered to Billing Agent and thereafter delivered by Billing Agent
to
Borrowers, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any actual
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as reasonably determined by
such
Lender) as a result of (a) failure by Borrowers to borrow, Continue or Convert
any LIBOR Loan after having given notice of their intention to borrow, Continue
or Convert such Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
(whether by reason of Borrowers' election not to proceed or the non-fulfillment
of any of the conditions to such advance), or (b) the payment (or failure
to pay after giving notice thereof) of any LIBOR Loan in whole or in part for
any reason prior to the end of the Interest Period relating thereto. Losses
subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without limitation, lost
margins, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Lender
permitted hereunder in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid,
paid,
repaid, not borrowed, or not paid, as the case may be, and will be payable
whether the Maturity Date is changed by virtue of an amendment hereto (unless
such amendment expressly waives such payment) or as a result of acceleration
of
the Obligations. Such indemnification may also include an amount equal to
(i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so
prepaid for the period from the date of such repayment (if such date is not
the
last day of the Interest Period) through the end of such Interest Period at
the
applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein minus
(ii) the
amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have
accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for
a
comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. Any
such calculations of losses or damages may be calculated as described above
whether or not the Lender actually match funds LIBOR Loans in the interbank
Eurodollar market. The provisions of this Section
2.10
shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and
all
other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by each such Lender of the
amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written notice delivered
to Billing Agent (and thereafter delivered by Billing Agent to the Borrowers),
containing such Lender's calculation thereof in reasonable detail shall be
presumed correct absent obvious error. For the purpose of calculating amounts
payable to a Lender under this Section 2.10,
each
Lender shall be deemed to have funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the
purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal
to
the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant
Interest Period; provided,
however,
that
each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and
the
foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating
amounts payable to the Lenders under this Section 2.10.

Section
2.11. Payments
Under the Notes.
(a) All
payments and prepayments made by Borrowers of principal of, and interest on,
the
Loans and other sums and charges payable under this Agreement, including without
limitation, any payments under Sections
2.06,
2.07,
2.09
and
2.10,
shall
be made in immediately available funds to Billing Agent (as specified in
Section
13.03)
for the
accounts of Lenders as provided in Section
2.13
and
otherwise herein and not later than 12:00 P.M. (California time) on the date
on
which such payment shall become due. Billing Agent shall promptly, following
receipt of payment under this Agreement or Notes, distribute such payment to
each affected Lender in accordance with this Agreement, and Borrowers shall
not
be responsible for Billing Agent's failure to do so. The failure by Borrowers
to
make any such payment by such hour shall not constitute a Default hereunder
so
long as payment is received later that day, provided
that any
such payment made after 12:00 P.M. (California time) on such due date shall
be
deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating
interest on amounts outstanding on the Notes. Borrowers shall, at the time
of
making each payment under this Agreement or the Notes, specify to Billing Agent
the Loans or amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is
to
be applied and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if a Default has
occurred and is continuing, unless all of the Lenders shall otherwise consent
thereto, Billing Agent shall distribute such payments in accordance with
Section 2.05(c).
(b) If
any
payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be due and payable on a day which
is
not a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed due on the next following
Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified
herein through such extension period. Billing Agent, or any Lender for whose
account any such payment is made, may (but shall not be obligated to) debit
the
amount of any such payment which is not made by 2:00 P.M. (California time)
to
any deposit account of Borrowers with Billing Agent or such Lender, as the
case
may be. Each payment received by Billing Agent under this Agreement or any
Note
for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in
immediately available funds, for the account of such Lender for the Note in
respect to which such payment is made.

Section
2.12. Set-Off,
Etc.
Each
Borrower hereby grants to Lenders, a lien, security interest and right of
set-off as security for all Obligations to Lenders, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and
property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control
of
Lenders or any Affiliate of any Lender and their successors and assigns, or
in
transit to any of them. At any time, without demand or notice, Lenders may
set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any matured liability
or obligation of a Borrower regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral
securing the Notes. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDERS TO EXERCISE THEIR
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS,
PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS
OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER OR EACH BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each Borrower agrees that any Person which
purchases a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans (each being
hereinafter referred to as a "Participant")
may,
after the identity of such Participant has been disclosed to Borrowers in
writing, exercise all rights of set-off, bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Participant were
a
direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation, provided that
Borrowers were notified of such purchase. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to require any Participant to exercise any such right or shall affect
the
right of any Participant to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising,
any
such right with respect to any indebtedness or obligation of Borrowers, other
than Borrowers' Indebtedness and Obligations under this Agreement.
Section
2.13. Pro
Rata Treatment; Sharing.
(a) Except
to
the extent otherwise provided herein, except with respect to the fees payable
to
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates pursuant to the Fee Letter and fees
payable to Collateral Agent, and except as otherwise agreed by each Lender:
(i) each borrowing from Revolving Credit Lenders shall be made from
Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata
according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments;
(ii)
each borrowing from Term Loan Lenders shall be made from Term Loan Lenders
pro rata
according to the amounts of their respective Term Loan Commitments;
(iii) each payment and prepayment of principal of the Revolving Credit
Loans shall be allocated to Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata
in
accordance with the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
owed to such Revolving Credit Lenders; (iv) each payment of interest on the
Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to Revolving Credit Lenders
pro rata
in
accordance with the outstanding principal amount owed to such Revolving Credit
Lenders; (v) each payment and prepayment of principal of, and each payment
of
interest on, the Term Loans A shall be allocated to Term Loan A Lenders
pro rata
in
accordance with the outstanding principal amount owed to such Term Loan A
Lenders; (vi) each payment and prepayment of principal of, and each payment
of
interest on, the Term Loans B shall be allocated to Term Loan B Lenders
pro rata
in
accordance with the outstanding principal amount owed to such Term Loan B
Lenders; (vii) each payment of Unused Line Fees shall be allocated to Revolving
Credit Lenders pro rata
in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (viii) each
payment of any other sums and charges payable for Lenders' account under this
Agreement (except for the fees under the Fee Letter) shall be allocated, as
applicable, to Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata
in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loan
Lenders in accordance with the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans
owed to such Term Loan Lenders; (ix) each reduction in the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments under Section
2.05
shall
reduce the Revolving Credit Lenders' Commitments pro rata
in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments immediately
preceding each such reduction; (x) each payment under Section
2.07,
2.09
or
2.10
shall be
made to each Lender in the amount required to be paid to such Lender as provided
in such Section; and (xi) notwithstanding the foregoing, after and during
the continuance of a Default, each distribution of cash, property, securities
or
other value received by any Lender, directly or indirectly, in respect of
Borrowers' Obligations hereunder, whether pursuant to any attachment,
garnishment, execution or other proceedings for the collection thereof or
pursuant to any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or other similar
proceeding or otherwise, after payment of collection and other expenses as
provided herein and in the Security Documents, shall, subject to Section 2.05(c)(iv),
be
apportioned among Lenders pro rata
based
upon the respective aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans owed to
each
of them.
-
47
-
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but subject to Section 2.05(c)(iv),
if any
Lender (a "Recovering
Party")
shall
receive any such distribution referred to in Section
2.13(a)(ix)
above (a
"Recovery")
in
respect thereof, such Recovering Party shall pay to Billing Agent for
distribution to Lenders as set forth herein their respective pro rata
shares
of such Recovery, based on Lenders' pro rata
shares
of all Loans outstanding at such time, unless the Recovering Party is legally
required to return any Recovery, in which case each party receiving a portion
of
such Recovery shall return to the Recovering Party its pro rata
share of
the sum required to be returned without interest. For purposes of this
Agreement, calculations of the amount of the pro rata
share of
each Lender shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
(c) Each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any Recovering Party shall be
obligated to pay to the other Lenders a portion of any Recovery pursuant to
Section
2.13(b)
and
shall make such recovery payment, Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied
their obligations in respect of Indebtedness held by such Recovering Party
only
to the extent of the Recovery actually retained by such Recovering Party after
giving effect to the pro rata
payments
by such Recovering Party to the other Lenders. The obligations of Borrowers
in
respect of Indebtedness held by each other Lender shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent of the amount of the Recovery distributed or obligated
to be distributed to each such other Lender by the Recovering
Party.
Section
2.14. Non-Receipt
of Funds by Billing Agent.
Unless
Billing Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender or Borrowers
prior
to the date on which such Lender or Borrowers are scheduled to make payment
to
Billing Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made
by
it hereunder or (in the case of Borrowers) a payment to Billing Agent for the
account of any or all of Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein referred
to as a "Required
Payment"),
which
notice shall be effective upon actual receipt, that it does not intend to make
such Required Payment to Billing Agent, Billing Agent may (but shall not be
required to) assume that the Required Payment has been made and may (but shall
not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof
available to the intended recipient(s) on such date and, if such Lender or
Borrowers (as the case may be) has not in fact made the Required Payment to
Billing Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to
Billing Agent for Billing Agent's own account the amount so made available
together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period
commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Billing Agent until
the date Billing Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a)
the
Federal Funds Rate for such day, with respect to interest paid by such Lender,
or (b) the applicable rate provided under Section
2.02,
with
respect to interest paid by Borrowers.
-
48
-
Section
2.15. Replacement
of Notes.
Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Note and (a) in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory to Borrowers (provided,
however,
that if
the holder of such Note is the original holder of such Note, its own agreement
of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or (b) in the case of any
such
mutilation, upon the surrender of such Note for cancellation, Borrowers will
execute and deliver, in replacement of such lost, stolen, destroyed, or
mutilated Note, a new Note of like tenor.
Section
2.16. Security
for the Obligations; Subordination; Etc.
(a) Collateral.
Except
as specified in Schedule
2.16(a)
hereto,
the Obligations shall be secured at all times by:
(i) a
first
priority perfected security interest in and lien upon all presently owned and
hereafter acquired tangible and intangible personal property and fixtures of
each Borrower, including without limitation any intercompany notes, obligations
or agreements, subject only to (A) any Permitted Liens and (B) the exclusion
of
any License, except to the extent (if any) that such a security interest is
permitted or not prohibited by the Act (as defined in Section
4.08),
and
the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC (but including, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, all rights incident or appurtenant to any such License,
including without limitation the right to receive all proceeds derived or
arising from or in connection with the sale, assignment or transfer
thereof);
(ii) first
mortgages on all presently owned and hereafter acquired real estate owned by
each Borrower, subject only to any Permitted Liens, together with mortgagee's
title insurance policies acceptable to Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent;

waivers, non-disturbance agreements and estoppel certificates as Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent shall reasonably require, together with mortgagee's
title insurance policies acceptable to Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent;
(iv) a
first
priority perfected collateral assignment and/or pledge of all of the issued
and
outstanding Equity Securities of each Borrower and all warrants, options, and
other rights to purchase such Equity Securities; and
(v) first
priority perfected collateral assignments of the Licenses and all purchase
agreements, construction contracts, management agreements, LMAs, programming
agreements, licenses, permits, authorizations (except for licenses and permits
issued by the FCC to the extent it is unlawful to grant a security interest
in
such licenses and permits) and other agreements as Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to protect the interests of
Lenders, together with such third party consents, lien waiver and estoppel
certificates as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall reasonably
require and as permitted by the underlying document.
-
49
-
(b) Subordination.
Without
limiting the generality of Section
7.01,
all
existing and hereafter arising Indebtedness of each Borrower to its Affiliates
shall be subordinated to any Indebtedness of such Borrower to Lenders pursuant
to subordination agreement(s) satisfactory in form and substance to
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (each an "Affiliate
Subordination Agreement"
and
collectively, the "Affiliate
Subordination Agreements").
(c) Security
Documents.
All
agreements and instruments described or contemplated in this Section
2.16,
together with all intercreditor agreements at any time in effect with respect
to
Indebtedness affecting Eligible Stations, any and all other agreements and
instruments heretofore or hereafter securing the Loans and other Obligations
or
otherwise executed in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be
amended, supplemented, extended, restated, renewed or replaced from time to
time, are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Security
Documents"
and
each individually as a "Security
Document".
Each
Borrower agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered,
any and all Security Documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to
Collateral Agent, and take such action as Collateral Agent may reasonably
request from time to time in order to cause Collateral Agent and Lenders to
be
secured at all times as described in this Section.
(d) Collateral
Agent.
All
Liens under the Security Documents or otherwise securing payment of the
Obligations shall be granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. All Security Documents
and
financing statements heretofore executed by Borrowers or authorized by Borrowers
to be filed or recorded by WFF, as Agent, in connection with the Original Credit
Agreement, A&R Credit Agreement, Second A&R Credit Agreement or
otherwise shall remain in full force and effect, shall continue to secure
payment and performance of, and to perfect the Liens intended to secure payment
and performance of, the Obligations, and are hereby ratified and affirmed in
all
respects.
Section
2.17. Use
of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely in accordance with Schedule
2.17
hereto.
Section
2.18. Adjustments
to Schedule 1.01.
Adjustments to the attached Schedule
1.01
may be
made from time to time as follows:
(a) The
respective Sale Amount of each Station listed on the attached Schedule
1.01
may be
adjusted from time to time (as so adjusted, an "Adjusted
Sale Amount")
upon
the written request of the Administrative Agent or with the consent of the
Required Lenders following written request by the Borrowers and upon completion
of an updated appraisal of the Collateral that is reasonably satisfactory to
the
Borrowers, provided,
however,
that,
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no request for an
adjustment shall be submitted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any
Station(s) after the earlier to occur of (i) five (5) Business Days after the
execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of a bona fide letter of intent
or similar document with respect to the Disposition of such Stations; or (ii)
the execution by Borrower and an unrelated third party of a bona fide definitive
purchase and sale agreement or similar document (which is reasonably acceptable
to Administrative Agent in the event that the Disposition is not a Pre-Approved
Station Disposition) and delivery thereof to Administrative Agent with respect
to such Stations, unless such purchase and sale agreement contemplates the
sale
of such Station(s) at an amount lower than the current Sale Amount(s), in which
case the Administrative Agent may re-appraise such Station(s) down to the
proposed sale price. Each appraisal shall be performed by a duly licensed
appraiser or appraisal firm reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers and the
Required Lenders. To the extent provided in Section
2.06(b)(ii)
and
(iii),
and
except as provided in Section
2.18(b)
and
except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall pay fees
and expenses incurred in the performance of no more than three (3) appraisals
of
the entire collateral pool during any calendar year.
-
50
-
(b) Borrowers
may add Stations to Schedule
1.01
with the
approval of the Required Lenders, and the respective Sale Amount of each Station
(each, an "Additional
Sale Amount")
shall
be determined by an appraisal reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers and Required
Lenders, performed by a duly licensed appraiser or appraisal firm reasonably
acceptable to the Borrowers and the Required Lenders and paid for by the
Borrowers.
(c) If
either
the Administrative Agent or the Borrower disagrees with the results of an
appraisal delivered pursuant to Section
2.18(a)
or
(b),
such
party may, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the disputed
appraisal, deliver a written notice (a "Dispute
Notice")
to the
other party indicating that they are disputing such appraisal and setting forth
the reasons for the dispute. If neither party receives a Dispute Notice within
such fifteen (15) day period, the appraisal shall be conclusive and binding
upon
each of the Borrowers and Lenders. If either the Borrowers or the Required
Lenders receives a Dispute Notice from the other party within the required
time
period, the Borrowers and the Required Lenders shall use reasonable efforts
to
reach an agreement regarding the Adjusted Sale Amount pursuant to Section
2.18(a)
or the
Additional Sale Amount pursuant to Section
2.18(b),
as
applicable. If an Adjusted Sale Amount or Additional Sale Amount, as applicable,
are agreed upon by the Borrowers and Required Lenders, such amount shall replace
the then current applicable Sale Amount listed on Schedule
1.01.
If an
Adjusted Sale Price or Additional Sale Price, as applicable, remains under
dispute for more than twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers
or Administrative Agent of the Dispute Notice, the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent shall retain a second appraiser reasonably satisfactory
to
each party and paid for by the party that sent the Dispute Notice to conduct
a
second appraisal. The Adjusted Sale Price or Additional Sale Price, as
applicable, shall be deemed to be equal to the average appraised value for
such
Station, calculated based upon the appraised values determined in the appraisal
delivered pursuant to Section
2.18(a)
or
(b),
as
applicable, and in the appraisal delivered pursuant to this Section
2.18(c),
unless
another Sale Amount is agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Required
Lenders.

Leases are valid, subsisting and in full force and effect. Except as specified

material default has occurred and is continuing under any such document or
agreement.
(e) To
Borrowers' knowledge, the use by each Borrower of any Intellectual Property

(a) The
aggregate amount of the full saleable value of the present assets and properties
of Borrowers exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in
respect of Borrowers' existing debts and other liabilities (including probable
contingent liabilities) as they mature.
(b) Borrowers'
assets and properties do not constitute unreasonably small capital for Borrowers
to carry out their business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted,

capital requirements of such Borrower's business and the projected capital
requirements and capital availability thereof.
(c) Borrowers
do not intend to, nor will Borrowers, incur debts beyond their ability to pay
such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash
reasonably anticipated to be received by Borrowers and the amounts of cash
reasonably anticipated to be payable on or in respect of Borrowers' obligations.
Borrowers' cash flow, after taking into account all anticipated sources and
uses
of cash (including, without limitation, an issuance by EMHC of additional Equity
Securities or Indebtedness permitted by the terms hereof in exchange for cash
proceeds equal to $5,000,000), will be sufficient to pay all such amounts on
or
in respect of its indebtedness when such amounts are required to be
paid.
-
62
-
(d) Borrowers
believe that no reasonably anticipated final judgment in a pending action or,
to
its knowledge, any threatened action for money damages will be rendered at
a
time when, or in an amount such that, each Borrower will be unable to satisfy
such judgment promptly in accordance with its terms (taking into account the
maximum reasonable amount thereof and the earliest reasonable time at which
such
judgment might be rendered). The cash available to each Borrower, after taking
into account all other anticipated uses of cash (including the payment of all
such Borrower's indebtedness) is anticipated to be sufficient to pay any such
judgment promptly in accordance with their terms.
(e) No
Borrower is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state

their existing and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, prior uses and
activities thereon, including, but not limited to, the use, maintenance and

owner, tenant, occupant or user of any of the Properties or any other Person,
has engaged in or permitted any operations or activities upon any of the
Properties for the purpose of or in any way involving the handling, manufacture,
treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping
or
disposal of a material amount of any Hazardous Materials the removal of which
is
required or the maintenance of which is prohibited or penalized.

(c) To
each
Borrower's knowledge, no Hazardous Material has been or is currently located

kind
under any Environmental Law.

each
Borrower's knowledge, no notice of violation, lien, complaint, suit, order
or
other notice or communication concerning any alleged violation of any
Environmental Law in, on, under or about any of the Properties, has been

Borrowers have all permits and licenses required under any Environmental Law
to
be issued to them by any Governmental Authority on account of any or all of
their activities on any of the Properties, (except to the extent that the
absence of any such permit or license would not have a Material Adverse Effect)
and are in material compliance with the terms and conditions of such permits
and
licenses. To Borrower's knowledge, no change in the facts or circumstances
reported or assumed in the application for or granting of such permits or
licenses exist, and such permits and licenses are in full force and
effect.
(f) To
each
Borrower's knowledge, no portion of any of the Properties has been listed,
designated or identified in the National Priorities List (NPL) or the CERCLA
information system (CERCLIS), both as published by the United States

any
federal, state or local authority proposed for or requiring cleanup, or remedial

(g) Each
Borrower, at its expense, has provided to Agents and Lenders a "Transaction
Screen" or "Phase One" site assessment (as required by Lenders) for each of
the
owned Properties designated by Lenders (including those owned Properties
designated on Schedule

engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect. There has been and is (a) no unfair labor practice
charge or complaint pending against Borrowers, or to the knowledge of Borrowers,
threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board or

as is
not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the
Organizational Documents of Borrowers contains any provision similar to those
set forth in Section 102(b)(2) of Title 8 of the Delaware Code.

Effect.

No
Events of Default exist, and, to Borrowers' knowledge, no Defaults exist in
the
Borrowers' performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in the Loan Documents or any of Borrowers'
Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, however,
Borrowers have informed Lenders that Borrowers are in Default under the
following provisions of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, and Lenders hereby
specifically waive such Defaults:

respect to Section 5.04 of the Second A&R Credit Agreement which stipulates
that for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2007, Borrowers' Capital
Expenditures shall not exceed $2,000,000 (subject to certain exceptions),

-
(b) With
respect to Section 5.06 of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, which stipulates
that, for the twelve-month period ending on December 31, 2007, Borrowers'
consolidated revenues from business operations shall not be less than
$40,220,000, Borrowers' consolidated revenues from business operations for
such
period, when reported by Borrowers in accordance with the Second A&R Credit
Agreement, are expected to be less than the required amount; and
(c) With
respect to Section 5.06 of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, which further
stipulates that, for the twelve-month period ending on December 31, 2007,
Borrowers' minimum consolidated EBITDA shall not be less than $5,250,000,
Borrowers' minimum consolidated EBITDA for such period, when reported by
Borrowers in accordance with the Second A&R Credit Agreement is expected to

V. FINANCIAL

but not made, in any fiscal year may be deferred and made in the subsequent

further, that no such deferred Capital Expenditures may be further deferred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions
which are either (i) funded solely by additional cash equity or (ii) not
financed with the Loans and which are nonrecourse to Borrowers and the Stations,
shall not be treated as Capital Expenditures for the purposes of this
Section 5.04.
Section
5.05. Restricted
Payments.
(a) Not directly or indirectly declare, order, pay or make any Restricted
Payment or set aside any sum or property therefor without Lenders' prior written

preferred stock if (i) no Default has occurred and is then continuing after
giving effect to such proposed distributions, and (ii) either the Required
Lenders have consented thereto in writing or the Required Lenders have elected
to decline Borrowers' written offer, delivered to each Agent not less than
