ARTICLE ONE DEFINED TERMS

         

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein (including the preliminary statements hereto) have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. The provisions of Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

Effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effectiveness Date (as defined below), the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a)Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(1)    the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or of a Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than a Parent, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(2)    the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower or a Parent (except the liquidation of any Parent into any other Parent);

(3)    the consummation of any transaction, including any merger or consolidation, the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above) other than a Parent becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Borrower or a Parent,

measured by voting power rather than the number of shares; or

(4)    after the Amendment No. 1 Effectiveness Date, the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of CCI are not Continuing Directors.

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than (x) in the case of Moody's, Baa3 (or the equivalent), (y) in the case of S&P, BBB- (or the equivalent) and (z) in the case of any other Rating Agency, the equivalent rating by such Rating Agency to the ratings described in clause (x) and (y).

“Amendment No. 1” means Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement dated as of April 25, 2012.

“Amendment No. 1 Effectiveness Date” has the meaning assigned to such term in Amendment No. 1.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event.

“Rating Agencies” means (i) each of Moody's and S&P; and (ii) if either of Moody's or S&P ceases to provide a rating or fails to make a rating of CCI publicly available for reasons outside of CCI's control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, as amended, selected by CCI (as certified by a resolution of CCI's Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody's or S&P, or both, as the case may be, that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

“Ratings Decline Period” means the period that (i) begins on the earlier of (a) the date of the first public announcement of the occurrence of a transaction that, if consummated, would constitute a Change of Control and (b) the occurrence of such Change of Control and (ii) ends 90 days following consummation of such Change of Control; provided that such period shall be extended for so long as the rating of the Ratings Entity, as noted by the applicable Rating Agency, is under publicly announced consideration for downgrade by the applicable Rating Agency.

“Ratings Entity” means (i) for so long as CCI (or the other relevant entity to which the “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term) applicable to the Borrower has been assigned) directly or indirectly owns a majority of the common Equity Interests of the Borrower and has not publicly announced a specific transaction pursuant to which CCI (or such other entity specified above) would cease to own a majority of the common Equity Interests of the Borrower, CCI (or such other entity specified above) and (ii) at any time that clause (i) does not apply, any Person whose “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term) is (or following the consummation of a transaction described in clause (i), will be) determined based expressly in whole or part on the fact that the Borrower is part of such Person's “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term).

“Ratings Event” means any of the following:

(1)    (a) (i) in the event that the Ratings Entity is the same both before and after the commencement of the applicable Ratings Decline Period, a downgrade by one or more gradations

(including gradations within ratings categories as well as between rating categories) or withdrawal of the “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term) of the Ratings Entity within the Ratings Decline Period by one or more Rating Agencies (unless the applicable Rating Agency shall have put forth a written statement to the effect that such downgrade is not attributable in whole or in part to the applicable Change of Control) or (ii) in the event that the Ratings Entity immediately after the commencement of the applicable Ratings Decline Period is a Person other than the Ratings Entity immediately prior to the commencement of such Ratings Decline Period, such Ratings Entity has a “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term) lower than the “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term) of the Ratings Entity immediately prior to the commencement of such Ratings Decline Period and (b) following any such downgrade, the Ratings Entity does not have a “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term) that is an Investment Grade Rating from either Rating Agency; or

(2)    the Ratings Entity does not have a “corporate family rating” (or equivalent term) of at least B1 from Moody's and at least B+ from S&P (or the equivalent ratings in the case of any other Rating Agency), in each case, with a stable or positive outlook, at the time of the applicable Change of Control or at any time thereafter until the termination of the applicable Ratings Decline Period; or

(3)    the Ratings Entity does not have a “corporate family rating” (or equivalent rating) from at least two Ratings Agencies at the time of the applicable Change of Control or at any time thereafter until the termination of the applicable Ratings Decline Period.

(b)Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing all references to “Change of Control” therein with “Change of Control Triggering Event”.
