WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Separation Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2006, as amended on November 19, 2006 and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, between The Walt Disney Company (“TWDC”) and ABC Radio Holdings, Inc.

WHEREAS, ABC Radio has received the proceeds of loans made available under the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2007, as amended, among ABC Radio, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders and other agents parties thereto (the “Existing ABC Radio Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 6, 2006, as amended on November 19, 2006 and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, among TWDC, ABC Radio, the Company and Alphabet Acquisition Corp. (“Acquisition Co.”) (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company will effect a merger of Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, with and into ABC Radio, with ABC Radio being the surviving corporation of such merger (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, immediately prior to the Merger, the Company will pay a special distribution to its shareholders in the amount of up to $280,000,000 plus, if the Company’s estimate changes, an additional amount reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “Special Distribution”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(b) Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall, among other things, (i) be in such form requested by the Company as shall be acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion and (ii) have an expiry date, in the case of each Standby L/C, occurring not later than the earlier of (w) 365 days after the date of issuance of such Standby L/C and (x) two Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and, in the case of each Commercial L/C, occurring not later than the earlier of (y) 180 days after the date of issuance of such Commercial L/C; provided, however, that at the request of the Company and upon the consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, of the Issuing Lender issuing such Commercial L/C, such date may be up to 360 days after the date of issuance of such Commercial L/C and (z) two Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Upon receipt of any L/C Application from the Company in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. The Issuing Lender will process such L/C Application, and the other certificates, documents and other papers delivered to the Issuing Lender in connection therewith, upon receipt thereof in accordance with its customary procedures and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall promptly open such Letter of Credit by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof and by furnishing a copy thereof to the Company; provided that no such Letter of Credit shall be issued (a) if the amount of such requested Letter of Credit, together with the sum of (i) the aggregate unpaid amount of Revolving L/C Obligations outstanding at the time of such request and (ii) the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time, would exceed $100,000,000 or (b) if subsection 6.1 would be violated thereby.

(a) The Company agrees forthwith upon demand by the Issuing Lender and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the L/C Application relating thereto (i) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, for any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, and (ii) to pay interest on any unreimbursed portion of any such payment from the date of such payment until reimbursement in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to (A) prior to the date which is one Business Day after the day on which the Issuing Lender demands reimbursement from the Company for such payment, the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are ABR Loans and (B) on such date and thereafter, the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are ABR Loans plus 2%.

(b) In the event that the Issuing Lender makes a payment under any Letter of Credit and is not reimbursed in full therefor forthwith upon demand of the Issuing Lender, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the L/C Application relating to such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify each other Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment through the Administrative Agent. Forthwith upon its receipt of any such notice, each other Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment will transfer to the Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such other Lender’s pro rata share of the Revolving L/C Obligation arising from such unreimbursed payment. Upon its receipt from such other Lender of such amount and a request of such Lender, the Issuing Lender will complete, execute and deliver to such other Lender an L/C Participation Certificate dated the date of such receipt and in such amount.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any other Lender such other Lender’s pro rata share of the Revolving L/C Obligation arising therefrom, the Issuing Lender receives any reimbursement on account of such Revolving L/C Obligation or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such other Lender, through the Administrative Agent, its pro rata share thereof in like funds as received (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided that, in the event that the receipt by the Issuing Lender of such reimbursement or such payment of interest (as the case may be) is required to be returned, such other Lender will return to the Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it in like funds as such reimbursement or payment is required to be returned by the Issuing Lender.

The Swing Line Loans shall be ABR Loans, and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Loans. The Company shall give JPMCB irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by JPMCB prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time) on the requested Borrowing Date specifying the amount of each requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in the minimum amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

Unless any of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 14 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of paragraph (c) of this subsection shall apply) each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to JPMCB for the account of JPMCB at the office of JPMCB located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(c) If prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection one of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 14 shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date such Loan would otherwise have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Refunded Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Refunded Swing Line Loans. Each Lender will immediately transfer to JPMCB, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof JPMCB will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(d) Whenever, at any time after JPMCB has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, JPMCB receives any payment on account thereof, JPMCB will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded) in like funds as received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by JPMCB is required to be returned, such Lender will return to JPMCB any portion thereof previously distributed by JPMCB to it in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by JPMCB.

To the extent, if any, that the sum of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans, and Revolving L/C Obligations then outstanding and the amounts available to be drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as then reduced, the Company shall be required to make a prepayment equal to such excess amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied first, to payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any Revolving L/C Obligations then outstanding, and last, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations then outstanding and by cash collateralization of any outstanding Letter of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments any Letter of Credit then outstanding which has been so cash collateralized shall no longer be considered a “Letter of Credit”, as defined in subsection 1.1 and any L/C Participating Interests heretofore granted by the Issuing Lender to the Lenders in such Letter of Credit shall be deemed terminated (subject to automatic reinstatement in the event that such cash collateral is returned and the Issuing Lender is not fully reimbursed for any such Revolving L/C Obligations) but the Letter of Credit fees payable under subsection 8.11 shall continue to accrue to the Issuing Lender (or, in the event of any such automatic reinstatement, as provided in subsection 8.11) with respect to such Letter of Credit until the expiry thereof. To the extent, if any, that the amount of the Incremental Revolving Loans under an Incremental Revolving Loan Facility then outstanding exceeds the amount of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments under such Incremental Revolving Loan Facility as then reduced, the Company shall be required to make a prepayment of such Incremental Revolving Loans equal to such excess amount.

(b) Interest accrued on the amount of any partial prepayment pursuant to this subsection 8.4 to the date of such partial prepayment shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of such partial prepayment. In the case of the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, interest accrued on the amount of any prepayment relating thereto and any unpaid commitment fee accrued hereunder shall be paid on the date of such termination. Any such partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect.

8.5 Optional Prepayments. The Company may at any time and from time to time prepay Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least one Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of ABR Loans and two

Working Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans and specifying the date and amount of prepayment; provided that Eurodollar Loans prepaid on other than the last day of any Interest Period with respect thereto shall be prepaid subject to the provisions of subsection 8.21. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given, the Company shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Accrued interest on any Notes or on the amount of any Loans paid in full pursuant to this subsection 8.5 shall be paid on the date of such prepayment. Accrued interest on the amount of any partial prepayment shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of such partial prepayment. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (B) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the applicable Loans, as the case may be. Any amount prepaid on account of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Partial prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to this subsection 8.5 shall be applied as directed by the Company.

8.6 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (d) and (h) below, following any issuance of debt obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries permitted to be issued under subsection 13.2) an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds of such debt issuance shall, unless the Company and the Required Application Lenders otherwise agree, be applied by the Company in the following order of priority, except as such order of priority may be modified by agreement of the Company and the Required Application Lenders: first, to the ratable prepayment of the Term Loans (in the manner set forth in subsection 8.6(d)) and second, to permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments in the manner set forth in subsection 8.4(a) (and, to the extent that the Aggregate Revolving Credit Extensions of Credit plus the then outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, such net proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans and the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit in accordance with subsection 8.4 in an amount equal to such excess) and, if so required by the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice(s), the Incremental Revolving Loans (with any such prepayments of Incremental Revolving Loans permanently reducing the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments in the amount thereof).

Notwithstanding the above, (i) so long as any Existing Convertible Subordinated Notes remain outstanding, the Company may elect to apply the Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale within 24 months after receipt thereof to repay the Existing Convertible Subordinated Notes (or a portion thereof) prior to any repayment of the Loans and reduction of Commitments specified above or reinvestment pursuant to subsection 13.6(e) or (f), (ii) the Company may elect to apply Net Proceeds to prepay the Term Loans at any time in accordance with this subsection 8.6(c) and (iii) the prepayment requirement under this subsection 8.6(c) (x) shall not apply to an Asset Sale if at the time of receipt of Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the most recently completed period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to such date for which the financial statements and certificates required by subsections 12.1 and 12.2 (including any certificate described in clause (ii) of the second sentence of subsection 12.1) have been delivered or for which comparable financial statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is less than 5.0 to 1.0, and (y) shall be subject to the reinvestment rights provided in subsections 13.6(e) and (f).

(d) Partial prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 8.6 shall be applied first, to the next four installments thereof scheduled to be paid in direct order, and second, to the remaining installments on a pro rata basis. Subject to clause first of the immediately preceding sentence and paragraph (d) below, prepayments applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amount of such Term Loans then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to participate in mandatory prepayments under paragraphs (a) and (b) above and in accordance with the two immediately preceding sentences only if required by the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice(s).

(e) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amounts required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (c) above from any Asset Sale consisting of the sale of all of the shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor (or, upon receipt by the Company or its Subsidiaries of such amounts as are permitted to be retained in accordance with clause (g) of this subsection 8.6), (1) the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and (2) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon the request of the Company, execute and deliver any instrument or other document in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent which may reasonably be required to evidence such discharge and release.

(h) Prepayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this subsection 8.6, if not on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall, at the Company’s option, as long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be prepaid subject to the provisions of subsection 8.21 or such prepayment (after application to any ABR Loans, in the case of prepayments by the Company) shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for such Eurodollar Loans on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and thereafter shall be applied to the prepayment of the Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the respective Interest Periods for such Eurodollar Loans next ending most closely to the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds. After such application, unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any remaining interest earned on such cash collateral shall be paid to the Company.

(i) Upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date the Company shall, with respect to each then outstanding Letter of Credit, if any, either (i) cause such Letter of Credit to

be cancelled without such Letter of Credit being drawn upon or (ii) collateralize the Revolving L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit with a letter of credit issued by banks or a bank satisfactory to the Administrative Agent on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the ABR becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining the Eurodollar Rate.

8.9 Commitment Fees. (a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this subsection 8.9, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date on the sum of such Lender’s Available Revolving Credit Commitment outstanding from time to time, at the rate per annum for each day during the period for which payment is made equal to the Commitment Fee Rate.

(c) The commitment fee provided for in this subsection 8.9 shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to the Available Revolving Credit Commitments and on the Incremental Revolving Loan Termination Date with respect to the Available Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments.

8.10 Certain Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account a non-refundable agent’s fee in the amount and payable on such dates as is separately agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent.

8.11 Letter of Credit Fees. (a) In lieu of any letter of credit commissions and fees provided for in any L/C Application relating to Letters of Credit (other than standard administrative, issuance, amendment and negotiation fees), the Company agrees to pay the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit fee, for the account of the Issuing Lender and the Participating Lenders, (i) with respect to each Standby L/C, on the average outstanding amount available to be drawn under each Standby L/C at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans in effect at such time, whether or not there are any such Eurodollar Loans outstanding at such time, payable in arrears, on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date

and (ii) with respect to each Commercial L/C, on the aggregate face amount of each Commercial L/C at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans in effect at such time, whether or not there are any such Eurodollar Loans outstanding at such time, payable on the date such Commercial L/C is issued.

In addition, the Company shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) with respect to each Standby L/C, in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, a fee to be agreed with the applicable Issuing Lender but not greater than 1/8 of 1% per annum on the average outstanding amount available to be drawn under such Standby L/C, solely for its own account as Issuing Lender of such Standby L/C and not on account of its L/C Participating Interest therein and (ii) with respect to each Commercial L/C, on the date such Commercial L/C is issued, a fee to be agreed with the applicable Issuing Lender but not greater than 1/8 of 1% on the aggregate face amount of such Commercial L/C, solely for its own account as Issuing Lender of such Commercial L/C and not on account of its L/C Participating Interest therein.

(b) In connection with any payment of fees pursuant to this subsection 8.11, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide to the Company a statement of any such fees so paid; provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide the Company with any such invoice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to pay such fees.

8.12 Letter of Credit Reserves. (a) If any Change in Law after the date of this Agreement shall either (i) impose, modify, deem or make applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Issuing Lender or (ii) impose on the Issuing Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be the result of the Issuing Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon demand by the Issuing Lender, the Company shall immediately pay to the Issuing Lender, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Lender for such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit ABR Loans. A certificate submitted by the Issuing Lender to the Company concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

(b) In the event that at any time after the date hereof any Change in Law with respect to the Issuing Lender shall, in the opinion of the Issuing Lender, require that any obligation under any Letter of Credit be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by the Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling the Issuing Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of the Issuing Lender’s obligations under such Letter of Credit to a level below that which the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account the Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount

deemed by the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by the Issuing Lender to the Company of such Change in Law, within 15 days after demand by the Issuing Lender, the Company shall pay to the Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction. If the Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 8.12(b), it shall promptly notify the Company of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate submitted by the Issuing Lender to the Company concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

(c) The Company agrees that the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) and the provisions of each L/C Application providing for reimbursement or payment to the Issuing Lender in the event of the imposition or implementation of, or increase in, any reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement in respect of the Letter of Credit relating thereto shall apply equally to each Participating Lender in respect of its L/C Participating Interest in such Letter of Credit, as if the references in such paragraphs and provisions referred to, where applicable, such Participating Lender or any corporation controlling such Participating Lender.

8.13 Further Assurances. The Company hereby agrees, from time to time, to do and perform any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments reasonably requested by the Issuing Lender to effect more fully the purposes of this Agreement and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder.

8.14 Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of the Company under this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents, any Credit Documents, the transactions contemplated herein, or any unrelated transaction;

(ii) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, except where such payment constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender; or

(iv) any other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstances or happening constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.

8.15 Assignments. No Participating Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit or any of its rights or duties hereunder shall be subdivided, assigned or transferred (other than in connection with a transfer of part or all of such Participating Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in accordance with subsection 16.6) without the prior written consent of the Issuing Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Such consent may be given or withheld without the consent or agreement of any other Participating Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participating Lender may subparticipate its L/C Participating Interest without obtaining the prior written consent of the Issuing Lender.

8.16 Participations. Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsections 6.4 and 6.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Company or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

8.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate for Eurodollar Loans. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period with respect to (i) proposed Loans that the Company has requested be made as Eurodollar Loans, (ii) any Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (iii) the continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as such for an additional Interest Period, (b) the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for any Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders constituting the Required Lenders of making or maintaining their affected Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally or (c) dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period with respect to any such Eurodollar Loan are not available to any of the Lenders in their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices’ interbank eurodollar market, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Company and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested Borrowing Date, the conversion date or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given, (i) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans, and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, into ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no ABR Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans.

8.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments . (a) Each borrowing of any Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) by the Company from the Lenders, each payment by the Company on account of any fee hereunder (other than as set forth in subsections 8.10 and 8.11) and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Loans (other than Swing Line Loans and other than as set forth in subsections 8.6, 8.19, 8.20 and 8.21) shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office located at 1111 Fannin Street, 8^th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments ratably to each Lender in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its relevant Commitment Percentage of the borrowing on such date available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in accordance with subsection 8.1 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on a date after such Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal funds rate during such period as quoted by the Administrative Agent, times (ii) the amount of such Lender’s relevant Commitment Percentage of such borrowing, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Lender’s relevant Commitment Percentage of such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 8.18(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s relevant Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Company without prejudice to any rights which the Company or the Administrative Agent may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this subsection 8.18(b) shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its ratable

portion of any borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such Borrowing Date.

(d) All payments and prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments as set forth in subsection 8.6 and other than prepayments as set forth in subsection 8.20 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(e) Each Lender, Conduit Lender, Assignee and Participant that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America, or an estate or trust that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or before the date on which such Participant purchases the related participation) either:

(A) two duly completed and signed copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-BEN (relating to such Non-U.S. Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. Taxes on all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents), or successor and related applicable forms, as the case may be; or

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and that does not comply with the requirements of clause (A) hereof, (x) a statement in the form of Exhibit F (or such other form of statement as shall be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time) to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. Taxes under Code Section 871(h) or 881(c), and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor and related applicable form (it being understood and agreed that no Participant and, without the prior written consent of the Company described in clause (C) of the proviso to the first sentence of subsection 16.6(c), no Assignee shall be entitled to deliver any forms or statements pursuant to this clause (B), but rather shall be required to deliver forms pursuant to clause (A) of this subsection 8.18(e));

provided further, however, that in the event that a Non-U.S. Lender is not a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Non-U.S. Lender agrees, for purposes of clause (A) or (B) of subsection 8.18(e), to take any actions necessary, and to deliver all additional (or alternative) Internal Revenue Service forms necessary to establish such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. Taxes on all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including using reasonable best efforts to cause its partners, members, beneficiaries or owners, and their beneficial owners, to take any actions and deliver any forms necessary to establish such exemption).

Each Non-U.S. Lender agrees (i) to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two further duly completed and signed copies of such Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or such other Internal Revenue Service forms required to be delivered pursuant to the proviso following clause (B) of this subsection 8.18(e), as the case may be, or successor and related applicable forms, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change from the most recent form(s) previously delivered by it to the Company (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that delivers a statement in the form of Exhibit F (or such other form of statement as shall have been reasonably requested by the Company), to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender, such statement on an annual basis on the anniversary of the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement and to deliver promptly to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender, such additional statements and forms as shall be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time, and (iii) to notify promptly the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) if it is no longer able to deliver, or if it is required to withdraw or cancel, any form or statement previously delivered by it pursuant to this subsection 8.18(e) including reliance on any forms provided to it pursuant to the proviso following clause (B) of this subsection 8.18(e). Each Non-U.S. Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any taxes, penalties, interest or other costs or losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or payable by the Company as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any U.S. Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Non-U.S. Lender or the Administrative Agent which failure resulted from the Company’s reliance on any form, statement, certificate or other information provided to it by such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to clause (B) or clause (ii) of this subsection 8.18(e). The Company hereby agrees that for so long as a Non-U.S. Lender complies with this subsection 8.18(e), the Company shall not withhold any amounts from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Non-U.S. Lender, unless the Company reasonably determines that it is required by law to withhold or deduct any amounts from any payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection 8.18(e), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences in this subsection 8.18(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver (it being understood and agreed that the Company shall withhold or deduct such amounts from any payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender that the

Company reasonably determines are required by law). If any Credit Party other than the Company makes any payment to any Non-U.S. Lender under any Credit Document, the foregoing provisions of this subsection 8.18(e) shall apply to such Non-U.S. Lender and such Credit Party as if such Credit Party were the Company (but a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to provide any form or make any statement to any such Credit Party unless such Non-U.S. Lender has received a request to do so from such Credit Party and has a reasonable time to comply with such request).

8.19 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the date that any lender becomes a Lender party to this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall, if required by law and if such Lender so requests, be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such request. To the extent that such affected Eurodollar Loans are converted into ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender’s ABR Loans. The Company hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this subsection 8.19 including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (such Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to the Company through the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).

8.20 Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that, at any time after the date hereof, the adoption of any Requirement of Law, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i) does or shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Eurodollar Loans made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender), it being understood and agreed that, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that does not comply with clause (A) of subsection 8.18(e) (including the proviso following clause (B) of subsection 8.18(e)), this clause (i) shall apply only to the extent that it would have applied if such Non-U.S. Lender were able to comply with clause (A) of subsection 8.18(e) (including the proviso following clause (B) of subsection 8.18(e));

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, then, in any such case, the Company, shall promptly pay such Lender, on demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to such Eurodollar Loans together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are ABR Loans.

(b) In the event that at any time after the date hereof any Change in Law with respect to any Lender shall, in the opinion of such Lender, require that any Commitment of such Lender be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender to the Company of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection 8.20, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, on an after-tax basis for such reduction.

(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 8.20, it shall promptly notify the Company through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. If any Lender has notified the Company through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 8.20, the Company at any time thereafter may, upon at least two Working Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to subsection 8.21, prepay or convert into ABR Loans all (but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans then outstanding. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this subsection 8.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or reduction in payments resulting from such event (including, without limitation, endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office); provided, however, that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. If any Lender has notified the Company, through the Administrative Agent, of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection 8.20, the Company at any time thereafter may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lender thereof), and subject to subsection 8.21, reduce or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with subsection 8.4.

(d) A certificate submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this subsection 8.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the outstanding Loans.

8.21 Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder, (b) default by the Company in making a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans after the Company has given a notice in accordance with subsection 8.1 or in making a conversion of ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans after the Company has given notice in accordance with subsection 8.3 or in continuing Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period after the Company has given a notice in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of Interest Period, (c) default by the Company in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Company has given a notice in accordance with subsection 8.5 or (d) a payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Obligations.

SECTION 10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to induce the Issuing Lenders to issue, and the Participating Lenders to participate in, the Letters of Credit, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent, on the date of each Loan made or Letter of Credit issued, that:

10.1 Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2006 (including the notes thereto) included in the S-4 filing by the Company (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), has been prepared based upon the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 after giving effect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Special Distribution, the Loans hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof and the payment of related fees and expenses. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time made in light of the circumstances when made. As of the date of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, none of the Company or, to the Company’s best knowledge, except as disclosed in the Merger Agreement, ABC Radio and its Subsidiaries had any material obligation, contingent or otherwise, which was not reflected

therein or in the notes thereto and which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or ABC Radio and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b)(i) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such date, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries at March 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal period ended on such date, copies of each of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, fairly present in all material respects (except, with respect to interim reports, for normal year-end adjustments) the consolidated financial position of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the fiscal periods then ended and, in the case of the statements referred to in the foregoing clause (ii), the portion of the fiscal year through such date, in each case, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as noted therein). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any such financial statements described in this subsection 10.1(b) are restated, the fact of the restatement in and of itself shall not constitute a failure to have complied with this subsection 10.1, provided that the Company shall furnish the restated financial statements to the Administrative Agent promptly upon such financial statements becoming available to the Company.

(c)(i) To the best knowledge of the Company, the audited statements of assets and liabilities of the Acquired Business as of September 30, 2006, October 1, 2005 and September 30, 2004, and the audited statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and (ii) the unaudited statements of assets and liabilities of the Acquired Business as of December 30, 2006 and the audited statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal period ended on such date, copies of each of which have hereto been furnished to each Lender, fairly present in all material respects (except, with respect to interim reports, for normal year-end adjustments and absence of footnotes) the financial position of the Acquired Business as at such dates, and the results of its operations and changes in cash flows for the fiscal periods then ended and, in the case of the statements referred to in the foregoing clause (ii), the portion of the fiscal year through such date, in each case, to the Company’s best knowledge, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period involved (except as noted therein).

(d) Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings made prior to the date hereof or on Schedule 10.1(d), as of the Closing Date, since October 1, 2005 with regard to the Acquired Business and ABC Radio and its Subsidiaries and since December 31, 2006 with regard to the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than ABC Radio and its Subsidiaries), there has not been any event (including any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance), that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings made prior to the date hereof or on Schedule 10.1(d), after the Closing Date, since December 31, 2006, there has not been any event (including any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance), that

would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

10.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (b) has the corporate power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to possess such corporate power and authority and such legal right would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, occupational safety and health, health care, pension, certificate of need, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, any so-called “Superfund” or “Superlien” law, or any applicable federal, state, local or other statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning, any Materials of Environmental Concern), except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.4 Corporate Power; Authorization. Each Credit Party has the corporate power and authority and the legal right to make, deliver and perform the Credit Documents to which it is a party; the Company has the corporate power and authority and legal right to borrow hereunder and to have Letters of Credit issued for its account hereunder. Each Credit Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and in case of the Company, to authorize the borrowings hereunder and the issuance of Letters of Credit for its account hereunder. No consent or authorization of, or filing with, any Person (including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority) is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party, or the validity or enforceability against any Credit Party, of any Credit Document to the extent that it is a party thereto, or the guarantee of the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

10.5 Enforceable Obligations. Each of the Credit Documents has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Credit Party party thereto and each of such Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

10.6 No Legal Bar. The performance of each Credit Document, the guarantee of the Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the use of the proceeds of the Loans and of drawings under the Letters of Credit will not violate any Requirement of

Law or any Contractual Obligation applicable to or binding upon any Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its properties or assets, which violations, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Credit Party to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, or which would give rise to any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or which would have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in the creation or imposition (or the obligation to create or impose) of any Lien (other than any Liens created pursuant to the Credit Documents) on any of its or their respective properties or assets pursuant to any Requirement of Law applicable to it or them, as the case may be, or any of its or their Contractual Obligations.

10.7 No Material Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, no litigation or investigation known to the Company through receipt of written notice or proceeding of or by any Governmental Authority or any other Person is pending against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (a) with respect to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Credit Document, or with respect to the Loans made hereunder, the use of proceeds thereof or of any drawings under a Letter of Credit and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) except as disclosed on Schedule 10.7 hereto, which would have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents or the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or thereunder.

10.8 Investment Company Act. Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as each of the quoted terms is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

10.9 Federal Regulation. No part of the proceeds of any of the Loans or any drawing under a Letter of Credit will be used for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under said Regulation U.

10.10 No Default. Except as set forth in the SEC Filings made prior to the date hereof or on Schedule 10.10, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (a) in the payment or performance of any of its or their Contractual Obligations in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) under any FCC License or any order, award or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator binding upon or affecting it or them or by which any of its or their properties or assets may be bound or affected in any respect which would have a Material Adverse Effect, and no such order, award or decree would materially adversely affect the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to carry on their businesses as presently conducted or the ability of any Credit Party to perform its obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party.

10.11 Taxes. To the best knowledge of the Company with respect to ABC Radio and its Subsidiaries for any period prior to the Closing Date, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed or has timely requested an extension to file or has

received an approved extension to file all tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Company, are required to have been filed, and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or extension requests or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided in the books of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be), except any such filings or taxes, fees or charges, the making of or the payment of which, or the failure to make or pay, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Company, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or other charges (other than those the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided in the books of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be), except as to any such taxes, fees or other charges, the payment of which, or the failure to pay, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.12 Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule 10.12(a) constitute all of the Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company and the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 10.12(b) constitute all of the Foreign Subsidiaries of the Company as of the Closing Date.

10.13 Ownership of Property; Liens. Except as disclosed in Schedule 13.3 hereof or the SEC Filings, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid and subsisting leasehold interests in, all its respective material real property, and good title to all its respective material other property, and none of such property is subject, except as permitted hereunder, to any Lien (including, without limitation, and subject to subsection 13.3 hereof, Federal, state and other tax liens).

10.14 ERISA. No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or Reportable Event (other than a Reportable Event with respect to which the 30-day notice requirement under Section 4043 of ERISA has been waived) has occurred during the five years preceding each date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan in any case the consequences of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. On and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, each Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA has satisfied the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Plan, and there has been no determination that any such Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk” status (within the meaning of Section 303(i)(4) of ERISA or Section 430(i)(4) of the Code), in any case the consequences of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan maintained by the Company or a Commonly Controlled Entity (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of the most recent annual valuation date in respect of each such Plan, exceed the fair market value of the assets of the Plan (including for these purposes accrued but unpaid contributions) allocable to such benefits by an amount that would have a Material Adverse Effect. The liability to which the Company or any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject under ERISA if the Company or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most

closely preceding the date hereof would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Multiemployer Plan is either in Reorganization or Insolvent or, on and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, in endangered or critical status within the meaning of Section 305 of ERISA, in any case the consequences of which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.15 Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, to the Company’s knowledge:

(a) The Properties do not contain any Materials of Environmental Concern in concentrations which constitute a violation of, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except for failure to be in compliance that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Company have knowledge that any such action is being contemplated, considered or threatened.

(d) There are no judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative actions pending or threatened under any Environmental Law to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 12. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

From and after the Closing Date, the Company hereby agrees that, so long as the Commitments remain in effect, any Loan, Note or Revolving L/C Obligation remains outstanding and unpaid, any amount remains available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit or any other amount is owing to any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall, and, in the case of the agreements contained in subsections 12.3, 12.4, 12.5, 12.6, 12.7, 12.8 and 12.9 cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

12.1 Financial Statements. Furnish to the Administrative Agent (with sufficient copies for each Lender) or otherwise make available as described in the last sentence of subsection 12.2:

(a) as soon as available, but in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a copy of the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of such year and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, reported on without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception, or qualification arising out of the scope of the audit, by certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing not unacceptable to the Administrative Agent; and

(b) as soon as available, but in any event not later than 60 days after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each fiscal year of the Company, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries at the end of such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such applicable period and the portion of the fiscal year through the end of such quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form, the figures for the previous year, certified by a Responsible Officer as being fairly stated in all material respects (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes);

all financial statements shall be prepared in reasonable detail in accordance with GAAP (provided, that interim statements may be condensed and may exclude detailed footnote disclosure and are subject to year end adjustment) applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein and with prior periods (except as concurred in by such accountants or officer, as the case may be, and disclosed therein and except that interim financial statements need not be restated for changes in accounting principles which require retroactive application, and operations which have been discontinued (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting No. 144) during the current year need not be shown in interim financial statements as such either for the current period or comparable prior period). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in the event any financial statements furnished after the Closing Date under subsection 12.1(a) or (b) are restated, the fact of the restatement in and of itself shall not constitute a failure to have complied with this subsection 12.1, provided that the Company shall furnish the restated financial statements together with an updated certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company pursuant to subsection 12.2(b) to the Administrative Agent promptly upon such financial statements becoming available to the Company and in any event within 60 days after the financial statements were required to be delivered under subsection 12.1(a) or (b), as the case may be, and (ii) any failure to deliver financial statements and opinions under subsection 12.1(a) or (b) as a result of a restatement or inability to file with the SEC that does not impact Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the relevant period (which determination shall be evidenced by delivery of a certificate by a Responsible Officer of the Company to the Administrative Agent to that effect and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for such period in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), shall not be a default hereunder if such certificate is delivered within the period such financial statements are required

to be delivered under subsections 12.1 (a) and (b); provided that the Company shall furnish the financial statements and opinion together with an updated certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company pursuant to subsection 12.2(b) to the Administrative Agent promptly upon their becoming available to the Company and in any event within 60 days after the financial statements were required to be delivered under subsection 12.1(a) or (b), as the case may be. In the event the Company changes its accounting methods because of changes in GAAP, or any change in GAAP occurs which increases or diminishes the protection and coverage afforded to the Lenders under current GAAP accounting methods, the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may request of the other parties to this Agreement an amendment of the financial covenants contained in this Agreement to reflect such changes in GAAP and to provide the Lenders with protection and coverage equivalent to that existing prior to such changes in accounting methods or GAAP, and each of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to consider such request in good faith.

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to this subsection 12.1 and subsection 12.2 below (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Company posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on the Company’s website on the Internet at www.citadelbroadcasting.com or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Company’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that (x) in each case, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and (y) in the case of documents required to be delivered pursuant to subsection 12.2, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a hard copy of such document.

(b) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in subsections 12.1(a) and (b), a certificate of the Responsible Officer of the Company (i) stating that, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, each of the Company and their respective Subsidiaries has observed or performed all of its covenants and other agreements, and satisfied every applicable condition, contained in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and that such officer has obtained no knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except as specified in such certificate, (ii) showing in detail as of the end of the related fiscal

Such certificate shall include the items specified in this subsection 12.2(b), and the financial covenant set forth in subsection 13.1 shall be tested based on such certificate;

(c) promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of all final reports submitted to the Company by independent certified public accountants in connection with each annual, interim or special audit of the books of the Company made by such accountants, including, without limitation, any final comment letter submitted by such accountants to management in connection with their annual audit;

SECTION 15. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE ISSUING LENDER

15.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JPMCB as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and irrevocably authorizes JPMCB as Administrative Agent for such Lender to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Credit Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

15.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may appoint any of its affiliates as its agent to perform the functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder relating to the advancing of funds to the Company and distribution of funds to the Lenders and to perform such other related functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder as are reasonably incidental to such functions. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, except as otherwise provided in subsection 15.3.

15.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Affiliates or Subsidiaries shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Credit Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in the Credit Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, the Credit Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Credit Documents or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, any Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

15.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice,

consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where unanimous consent of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Credit Document in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

15.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law and (ii) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

15.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Credit Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder, issue and participate in the Letters of Credit and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other

condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, financial condition, assets, liabilities, net assets, properties, results of operations, value, prospects and other condition or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

15.7 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably (determined at the time such indemnity is sought) according to the respective amounts of their respective Commitments (or, to the extent such Commitments have been terminated, according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and obligations, whether as Issuing Lender or a Participating Lender, with respect to Letters of Credit), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Syndication Agent’s, such Documentation Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements contained in this subsection 15.7 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

15.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Credit Parties as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, any Note issued to it and any Letter of Credit issued by or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under the Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacities.

15.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative

Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.

15.10 Issuing Lender as Issuer of Letters of Credit. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 15 shall apply to the Issuing Lender, in its capacity as issuer of any Letter of Credit, in the same manner as such provisions are expressly stated to apply to the Administrative Agent.

15.11 Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents. Bank of America, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in their capacities as Syndication Agents, and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch and Wachovia Bank, National Association, in their capacities as Documentation Agents, shall have no duties or liabilities under the Credit Documents.

In the case of any waiver, the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

The agreements in this subsection 16.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

16.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or

100

other financial institutions or Lender Affiliates (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any participating interest of such Lender in the Letters of Credit, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, provided, however, that no Lender shall sell any such participating interest to any Participant which is a Non-U.S. Lender that is unable to deliver to such Lender the forms required to be delivered pursuant to clause (A) of subsection 8.18(e) hereof, including the proviso following clause (B) of subsection 8.18(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or any other Obligation to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Loan to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Loan; provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof, as provided in subsection 16.7. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 8.12, 8.19, 8.20 and 8.21 with respect to its participation in the Letters of Credit and in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred and each Participant shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) of subsection 8.20.

(c) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swing Line Lender (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), at any time sell to any Lender or any Affiliate or Lender Affiliate thereof (including any Affiliate or Subsidiary of such transferor Lender) and, with the prior written consent of the Company, the Issuing Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), sell to one or more additional banks or financial institutions (an “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents and, with respect to the Letters of Credit, such Lender’s L/C Participating Interest, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and by the Company and the Administrative Agent to the extent their consent is required), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below);

101

provided that (A) each such sale pursuant to this subsection 16.6(c) of less than all of a Lender’s rights and Obligations (I) to a Person which is not then a Lender or an Affiliate or Lender Affiliate of a Lender shall be of Commitments and/or Loans of $5,000,000 (or, in the case of Tranche B Term Loan Commitments or Tranche B Term Loans, $1,000,000) or more and (II) to a Person which is then a Lender or an Affiliate or Lender Affiliate of a Lender may be in any amount, (B) in the event of a sale of less than all of such rights and obligations, such Lender after such sale shall retain Commitments and/or Loans (without duplication) aggregating at least $5,000,000 (or, in the case of Tranche B Term Loan Commitments or Tranche B Term Loans, $1,000,000) and (C) each Assignee which is a Non-U.S. Lender shall comply with the provisions of clause (A) of subsection 8.18(e) hereof (including the proviso following clause (B) of subsection 8.18(e)), or, with the prior written consent of the Company which may be withheld in its sole discretion, with or without cause, the provisions of clause (B) of subsection 8.18(e) hereof (including the proviso following clause (B) of subsection 8.18(e)) (and, in either case, with all of the other provisions of subsection 8.18(e) hereof); and provided, further that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Lender from selling participating interests in accordance with subsection 16.6(b) in all or any portion of its Commitments and/or Loans (without duplication). For purposes of clauses (A) and (B) of the first proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Lender Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with the Commitments and Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Lender under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (and to the extent permitted by law), after the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 14(f) with respect to the Company, any Lender may sell all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this subsection 16.6(c).

(d) The Administrative Agent acting on behalf of and as agent for the Company, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 16.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, the principal amount of any Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Swing Line Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Loans owing to, and if such Lender has any Revolving Credit Commitment, the L/C Participating Interests of, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the

102

absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans or L/C Participating Interests recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Administrative Agent), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 if the Assignee is not a Lender or an Affiliate or Lender Affiliate thereof prior to the execution of such Assignment and Assumption, and no such fee otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Company. The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(f) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee or to any pledgee referred to in subsection 16.6(h) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of subsection 16.15) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(g) If, pursuant to this subsection 16.6, any interest in this Agreement or any Loan or Letter of Credit is transferred to any Transferee which would be a Non-U.S. Lender upon the effectiveness of such transfer, the assigning Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the assigning Lender (for the benefit of the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) that under applicable law and treaties no U.S. Taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Company or the assigning Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of the Loans or L/C Participating Interests, (ii) to furnish to the assigning Lender (and, in the case of any Assignee registered in the Register, the Administrative Agent and the Company) such Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be furnished pursuant to

103

subsection 8.18(e) and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) to be bound by the provisions of subsection 8.18(e).

(h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment (i) by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law and (ii) by a Lender Affiliate which is a fund to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided that any transfer of Loans or Notes upon, or in lieu of, enforcement of or the exercise of remedies under any such pledge shall be treated as an assignment thereof which shall not be made without compliance with the requirements of this subsection 16.6.

(i) The Company, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (h) above.

(j) The Company, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however (i) that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period forbearance and (ii) the foregoing shall not prohibit or limit the ability of any such Person to file claims against a Conduit Lender in connection with any such proceeding.

16.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans (other than payment of Swing Line Loans), Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in clause (f) of Section 14, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of

104

such recovery, but without interest. The Company agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans and/or L/C Participating Interests may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Company notice of any set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 14(a) or 14(f), the Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby irrevocably authorized at any time and from time to time without notice to the Company, any such notice being hereby waived by the Company, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Company or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, on account of the liabilities of the Company hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Lender against the Company in any currency, whether arising hereunder, or otherwise, under any other Credit Document as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender has made any demand for payment and although such liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Company promptly of any such setoff made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

16.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies of this Agreement executed by the Company and the Lenders, or, in the case of any Lender, shall have received telephonic confirmation from such Lender stating that such Lender has executed counterparts of this Agreement or the signature pages hereto and sent the same to the Administrative Agent.

16.9 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the entire agreement of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

16.10 GOVERNING LAW; NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOANS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE

105

PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOANS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION 16.6, NO OTHER PERSONS SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT, BENEFIT, PRIORITY OR INTEREST UNDER, OR BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF, THIS AGREEMENT.

(iv) AGREES THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

EACH PARTY HERETO UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (a) ABOVE.

16.12 Acknowledgements. The Company hereby acknowledges that:

(a) none of the Administrative Agent, any Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship to any Credit Party, and the relationship

106

between the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor; and

(b) no joint venture exists among the Lenders or among any Credit Parties and the Lenders.

16.13 Incremental Facility. (a) The Company may from time to time amend this Agreement in order to provide to the Company additional revolving loan facilities (each, an “Incremental Revolving Loan Facility”) and additional term loan facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”), provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities shall not exceed $750,000,000 and (ii) each Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000. Each Incremental Facility will be secured and guaranteed with the other Facilities on a pari passu basis. Each Incremental Facility must have an average life which is longer than the then remaining average life of the original comparable Facility taken as a whole and a final maturity no earlier than the comparable Facility. Incremental Facilities will be entitled to prepayments and voting rights on the same basis as comparable Facilities unless the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice specifies a lesser treatment. An Incremental Facility may be made available under this Agreement only if, after giving effect thereto and the use of proceeds thereof (x) no Default or Event of Default exists and (y) the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio for the most recently ended fiscal quarter (calculated on a pro forma basis, as reasonably determined by the Company after consultation with the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Facility and the Permitted Acquisition and other permitted uses made with the proceeds thereof) shall be equal to or less than the then applicable Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio Level, provided that the requirement under clause (y) shall not apply if the proceeds of the Incremental Facility are used to repay all or a portion of the Existing Convertible Subordinated Notes. Proceeds of Incremental Facilities may be used only for the purposes specified in subsections 4.3 and 7.3.

(b) An Incremental Facility shall be made available hereunder upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Incremental Facility Activation Notice executed by the Company and the financial institutions (who must be reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent) identified as “Incremental Lenders” therein who have executed such Incremental Facility Activation Notice. Upon the Incremental Facility Effective Date specified in an Incremental Facility Activation Notice, the Incremental Lenders specified therein shall become Lenders under this Agreement with respect to such Incremental Facility. Each Incremental Facility Activation Notice shall specify (i) the respective Incremental Facility Amount of such Incremental Lenders, (ii) the applicable Incremental Facility Effective Date, (iii) the applicable maturity date for the Incremental Facility, (iv) the amortization schedule or revolving credit period, as applicable, applicable to such Incremental Facility, (v) whether such Incremental Lenders are entitled to share in mandatory prepayments as specified in subsection 8.6 and (vi) the Applicable Margin for the Incremental Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Facility Activation Notice and, if such Incremental Facility is an Incremental Revolving Loan Facility, the commitment fee therefor, and shall be otherwise duly completed. Each Incremental Lender that is a signatory to an Incremental Facility Activation Notice severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Incremental Loans to

107

the Company on the date or during the periods specified in such Incremental Facility Activation Notice. Nothing in this subsection 16.13 shall be construed to obligate any Lender not party to such Incremental Facility Activation Notice to execute an Incremental Term Loan Activation Notice or to make Incremental Loans.

16.14 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by subsection 16.1) to take any action requested by the Company having the effect of releasing any collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Credit Document or that has been consented to in accordance with subsection 16.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Revolving L/C Obligations and the other obligations under the Credit Documents (other than obligations under or in respect of swap or hedging agreements and contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

16.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any pledgee referred to in subsection 16.6(h) or any direct or indirect counterparty to any swap agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than in violation of this Section 16.15), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Company of any disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) or (e).

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may include material non-public information

108

concerning the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Company and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

16.16 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and each other Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of the Company and each other Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company and each other Credit Party in accordance with the Act.
