2.4 Borrowing Procedures. A Borrower shall give telephonic notice (promptly followed by an executed Notice of Borrowing) to the Administrative Agent of its proposed Loan not later than (a) in the case of a Floating Rate Loan, 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing, and (b) in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Eurocurrency Loans having the same Interest Period are sometimes called a “Group.” Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the date, amount and type of borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the applicable currency and initial Interest Period therefor; provided, however, that anything in this Section 2.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Loans advanced on the Amendment Effective Date shall be advanced as Floating Rate Loans. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of a proposed borrowing, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent (by fed wire) at the Administrative Agent’s designated Lending Office with immediately available funds in the applicable currency covering such Lender’s applicable percentage of such borrowing and, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 with respect to such borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall pay over the requested amount to the applicable Borrower on the requested borrowing date. Each borrowing shall be on a Business Day. Each borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000 and the aggregate principal amount of each Group of Eurocurrency Loans in an Alternate Currency shall at all times be the Dollar Equivalent of at least $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $500,000.

2.5 Procedures for Conversion of Type of Loan. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2, any Borrower may convert all or any part of its outstanding Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Loans, Term A Loans, Term B Loans or Incremental Loans into Loans of a different type by giving telephonic notice (promptly followed by an executed Notice of Continuation/Conversion) to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) (a) in the case of conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Eurocurrency Loan in the same currency, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of conversion, and (b) in the case of conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan in one currency to a Floating Rate Loan of the same currency on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of conversion. Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the date and amount of such conversion, the Loan to be so converted, the type of Loan to be converted into and, in the case of a conversion into a Eurocurrency Loan, the initial Interest Period therefor. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender thereof. Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, such Loan shall be so converted on the requested date of conversion. Each conversion shall be on a Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be entitled to convert (a) Loans denominated in one currency into Loans in another currency, (b) Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency into a Floating Rate Loan, (c) Loans under one Facility into Loans under another Facility or (d) during the continuance of any Event of Default, convert Floating Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans.

2.6 Letter of Credit Procedures. The Company or Telegraph, as the case may be, shall give notice to the Issuing Bank of the proposed issuance of each Letter of Credit on a Business Day which is at least three Business Days (or such lesser period as to which the Issuing Bank may agree) prior to the

proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a Letter of Credit Application, duly executed by the Company or Telegraph, as the case may be (and if a Restricted Subsidiary is to be a co-applicant, such Restricted Subsidiary), and in all respects satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, together with such other documentation as the Issuing Bank may reasonably request in support thereof, it being understood that each Letter of Credit Application shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount of the Letter of Credit, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than the earlier of (x) one year from the date of issuance and (y) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date), the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be issued and whether such Letter of Credit is to be transferable in whole or in part. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. The Company shall not be entitled to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, any U.K. Obligor or any Restricted Subsidiary which is not a Restricted Subsidiary Obligor and shall only be entitled to request Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars. Telegraph shall not be entitled to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of any Person other than itself or a U.K. Obligor and shall only be entitled to request Letters of Credit denominated in Sterling.

2.7 Participations in Letters of Credit. Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Revolving Lender, and each other Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such other Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage, in such Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Issuing Bank’s “participation” therein. The Issuing Bank hereby agrees, upon request of any Revolving Lender, to deliver to such Revolving Lender a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit, together with such information related thereto as such other Lender may reasonably request.

2.8 Reimbursement Obligations. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank for each payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued at its request whether or not for its account honoring any demand for payment made by the beneficiary thereunder, in each case on the date that such payment or disbursement is made. Any amount not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement shall bear interest from and including the date of such payment or disbursement to but not including the date that the Issuing Bank is reimbursed by the applicable Borrower therefor, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect (plus, at any time an Event of Default exists, 2%), and (y) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Sterling, the higher of (1) the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted) plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect (plus, at any time an Event of Default exists, 2%) and (2) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect (plus, at any time an Event of Default exists, 2%). The Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder; provided, however, that the failure of the Issuing Bank to so notify the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall not affect the rights of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders in any manner whatsoever.

2.9 Limitation on the Issuing Bank’s Obligations. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Borrowers or any Revolving Lender other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of

Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall not impose upon the Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrowers or any Revolving Lender and shall not reduce or impair any Borrower’s reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 2.8 or the obligations of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10.

2.10 Funding by Lenders to the Issuing Bank. If the Issuing Bank makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower has not reimbursed the Issuing Bank in full for such payment or disbursement by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement or if any reimbursement received by the Issuing Bank from the applicable Borrower is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such Borrower or otherwise, each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank, in full or partial payment of the purchase price of its participation in such Letter of Credit, its pro rata share (according to its Revolving Percentage) of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment shall diminish the obligations of any Borrower under Section 2.8), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, severally and for itself alone, to so pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the Issuing Bank’s account the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such payment or disbursement. If and to the extent any Revolving Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Revolving Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Issuing Bank’s account forthwith on demand for each day from and including the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect. Any Revolving Lender’s failure to make available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such payment, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any such payment or disbursement.

2.11 Warranty. Each notice of borrowing and/or of conversion pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 and the delivery of each Letter of Credit Application pursuant to Section 2.6 shall automatically constitute a warranty by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and each Lender to the effect that on the date of such requested borrowing or conversion or the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit, as the case may be, (a) the warranties contained in Section 9 (excluding Sections 9.4, 9.6, 9.8 and 9.15 through 9.17) of this Agreement shall be true and correct as of such requested date as though made on the date thereof and (b) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing or would reasonably be expected to result therefrom.

2.12 Conditions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) no Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan, (b) no Lender shall be obligated to convert into or permit the continuation at the end of the applicable Interest Period of any Eurocurrency Loan, and (c) the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if, in any such case, an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom.

2.13 Determination of Dollar Equivalents. The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent with respect to any Credit Extension denominated in an Alternate Currency (a) on the date of any requested Credit Extension or date of any requested continuation of any Credit Extension denominated in an Alternate Currency, (b) as of the last Business Day of each month, and (c) during the

occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, such other dates as may be requested by the Required Lenders (but in no event more frequently than once a week) (each such date being a “Determination Date”).

2.14 Commitments Several. The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.15 Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall record in its records the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, each repayment or conversion thereof and, in the case of each Eurocurrency Loan, the dates on which each Interest Period for such Loan shall begin and end. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Lender’s Loans. The failure to so record any such amount or information or any error in so recording any such amount or information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to repay when due the principal amount of the Loans together with all interest accruing thereon.

2.16 Requesting Promissory Notes. Each Lender may, upon written request to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, cause to have prepared by the Administrative Agent and executed by the applicable Borrower, and delivered to such Lender, promissory notes evidencing the Obligations of such Borrower to such Lender.

SECTION 3 Incremental Facility.

3.1 Incremental Facility. The Company shall have the right, from time to time, to request additional term loans (each such loan an “Incremental Loan”) pursuant to an incremental facility (the “Incremental Facility”), provided that at the time any tranche of Incremental Loans is issued pursuant to the Incremental Facility, (a) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result from the issuance of such Incremental Loans, (b) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate, completed on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the Incremental Loans, (c) the aggregate principal amount of all tranches under the Incremental Facility hereunder shall not exceed $200,000,000, (d) each tranche must be a term loan which is governed by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with terms and conditions no more restrictive than those in effect with respect to the then existing Facilities, (e) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary Obligor which is a U.K. Subsidiary or a U.S. Subsidiary must be the borrower (an “Incremental Borrower”) thereunder, (f) the weighted average life and final maturity of each tranche shall be at least six months longer than the weighted average life and final maturity of the Term B Loans, (g) the applicable interest rates may differ from the then existing Facilities, provided, however, if the Applicable Margin for any tranche of Incremental Loans is more than 25 basis points higher than the Applicable Margin for the Term B Loans, the Applicable Margin for the Term B Loans shall be proportionately adjusted such that the Applicable Margin for any tranche of Incremental Loans is no more than 25 basis points higher than the Applicable Margin for the Term B Loans, and (h) any Incremental Loans shall be issued at a price (including upfront fees and original issue discount, if any) not lower than 99.50% of par.

3.2 Request for Incremental Facility. The Company shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its desire for an Incremental Facility, the proposed Incremental Borrower and amount thereof, and specifying the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Each Lender shall have the option (in its sole and complete discretion) to subscribe for its proportionate share (or, if agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent, more or less than its proportionate share) of such proposed Incremental Facility according to its then-existing Voting Percentage. In the

event that Lenders do not subscribe for the entire proposed Incremental Facility, one or more Persons meeting the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee may be added as an Incremental Lender, subject to the approval of the Company and the Administrative Agent.

3.3 Documentation of Incremental Facility. The terms of any tranche of the Incremental Facility shall be set forth in a supplement to this Agreement (a “Supplement”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Administrative Agent, the Company, the applicable Incremental Borrower and the Incremental Lenders with respect to such tranche of the Incremental Facility. The applicable Incremental Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such assumptions, guarantees, security documents, opinions and other documents as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent. The consent of the Lenders who are not Incremental Lenders shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of a Supplement provided that it otherwise complies with the conditions of this Section 3 and such Supplement may make technical changes to this Agreement to provide for such tranche of the Incremental Facility.

SECTION 4 Interlender Agreements.

4.1 Allocation of Payments Prior to Acceleration. Prior to the acceleration of the Loans of any Borrower following the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments by such Borrower of principal of, and interest on, Credit Extensions of such Borrower shall be allocated to the Lenders as follows, after giving effect to any reallocation:

4.2 Allocation of Payments After Acceleration. (a) Upon acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 12.2, to the extent necessary, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased for cash

without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders a participation interest in the Credit Extensions owing to or participated in by each other Lender such that, after giving effect to such purchase, each Lender shall have a participation in each Credit Extension under each Facility made to any Borrower ratably in accordance with its respective Voting Percentage.

(b) If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 7.4) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(c) After acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 12.2, all payments of principal of, and interest on, Credit Extensions shall be allocated to the Lenders as follows:


	(i) On the date of acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 12.2 (but before giving effect to the deemed purchase referred to above), the Administrative Agent shall compute the Voting Percentage for each Lender.

	(ii) To the extent that amounts are received by the Administrative Agent following the declaration of acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 12.2, the Administrative Agent shall pay all payments of principal of, or interest on, Credit Extensions, or other Obligations to each Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Voting Percentage, regardless of the Obligor from which such payment is received or the currency in which such payment is received and each Lender shall determine the order of application of such payments to the Obligations owed to such Lender.

	(iii) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to effect such conversions of currencies as are necessary to effect the provisions of this Section, at such times and at such rates as the Administrative Agent may in a commercially reasonable manner determine. At each Lender’s option and upon prior written notification to the Administrative Agent, any Alternate Currency Obligation of such Lender shall be paid in Dollars.

4.3 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. (a) All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral after an acceleration pursuant to Section 12.2 shall be distributed in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent in the following order of priority:


	(i) to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the Secured Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent in such capacity, for reasonable costs, fees, expenses or indemnities in connection with its actions under the Loan Documents as of the date of such distribution and, to the extent that the Lenders have reimbursed the Administrative Agent for any such costs, fees or expenses, to the Lenders in an amount equal to the amount so reimbursed;

	(ii) to the Lenders and the Qualified Hedge Counterparties in an amount equal to the Secured Obligations due and owing to such Persons as of the date of such distribution and to the Administrative Agent, to be retained as Collateral in an amount equal to the undrawn amounts of Letters of Credit, the reimbursement obligations for which when incurred would constitute Secured Obligations; provided that in the event such reimbursement obligations become owing to any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender the amount of cash held as


	Collateral therefore pursuant to this clause (ii) and; provided, further, that to the extent any such Letters of Credit shall expire or terminate undrawn the amount held as Collateral therefor pursuant to this clause in respect of such reimbursement obligations shall be applied in accordance with the order of priorities set out in this Section 4.3;

	(iii) to the Administrative Agent to be retained as Collateral an amount equal to any other contingent Secured Obligations not included in clause (ii) above; provided that in the event such contingent Secured Obligations become owing to the holder thereof, then the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Person such amount of cash held as Collateral therefore pursuant to this clause; and provided, further, that in the event such contingent Secured Obligations fail to become absolute, then the amount of cash held as Collateral therefor pursuant to this clause in respect of such Secured Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the order of priorities set out in this Section 4.3; and

	(iv) to the extent of any surplus (but only after payment in full of all Secured Obligations, direct or contingent, and whether or not then due and payable) if any, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto, except as may be provided otherwise by law, it being understood that the Borrowers shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate of the sums referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.3.

During the pendency of any legal proceeding to determine whether any claim of any Person is a “Secured Obligation” hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall segregate any funds allocable to the Person whose claim is the subject of such proceeding and hold such segregated funds until the matter has been resolved by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that funds to be distributed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 4.3 shall be insufficient to pay in full the Secured Obligations referred to therein, distributions made pursuant to any such clause shall be made pro rata based on the aggregate amount of Secured Obligations held by each Person referred to therein.

(b) Until the Administrative Agent shall have distributed cash held by it pursuant hereto, the Administrative Agent may invest such cash in Cash Equivalent Investments and such Cash Equivalent Investments shall be retained by the Administrative Agent as Collateral.

4.4 No Effect on Obligors. Nothing in this Section 4 shall affect the rights and obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 5 Interest and Fees.

5.1 Interest Rates. Each Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, as follows:


	(a) at all times while such Loan is a Floating Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and

	(b) at all times while such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted) applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin;

provided, however, that at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the interest rate applicable to (i) each Floating Rate Loan shall be the sum of (x) the applicable Base Rate plus (y) the Applicable Margin plus (z) 2% and (ii) each Eurocurrency Loan shall be the higher of (x) the sum of (A)

the Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted) plus (B) the Applicable Margin plus (C) 2%, and (y) the sum of (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus (B) the Applicable Margin plus (C) 2%.

5.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Floating Rate Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and at maturity, commencing with the first of such dates to occur after the date of such Loan. Accrued interest on each Eurocurrency Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans with Interest Periods in excess of three months, on each three-month anniversary of such Eurocurrency Loan and at maturity. After maturity of any Loan, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on demand.

5.3 Interest Periods. Each “Interest Period” for a Eurocurrency Loan shall commence on the date such Eurocurrency Loan is made or converted from a Floating Rate Loan, or (if such Eurocurrency Loan is a continuation of a prior Eurocurrency Loan) on the expiration of the immediately preceding Interest Period for such continued Eurocurrency Loan, and shall end on the date which is one, two, three, or six months thereafter (and nine and twelve month options if available from all of the Lenders participating in such Loan), as the applicable Borrower may specify:


	(a) in the case of an Interest Period which commences on the date a Eurocurrency Loan is made or converted from a Floating Rate Loan, in the related notice of borrowing or conversion pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5, or

	(b) in the case of a succeeding Interest Period with respect to any continued Eurocurrency Loan, by telephonic notice (promptly followed by an executed Notice of Continuation/Conversion) to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to the first day of such succeeding Interest Period, it being understood that (i) each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and (ii) if the applicable Borrower fails to give such notice or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such notice, such Eurocurrency Loan, if denominated in Dollars, shall automatically become a Floating Rate Loan at the end of its then-current Interest Period or, if denominated in an Alternate Currency, shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in an Alternate Currency for an Interest Period of one month at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted) plus (B) the Applicable Margin.

Each Interest Period that begins on the last day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the appropriate subsequent calendar month) shall end on the last Business Day of the appropriate subsequent calendar month. Each Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall end on the immediately succeeding Business Day (unless such immediately succeeding Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day). No Borrower may select any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan which would end after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or Stated Maturity Date, as the case may be, or which would cause such Borrower to prepay such Eurocurrency Loans on a date on which scheduled Loan payments for the applicable Facility are due.

5.4 Setting and Notice of Eurocurrency Rates. The applicable Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and notice thereof shall be given by the Administrative Agent promptly to the applicable Borrower and each Lender. Each determination of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of any Borrower or any Lender, deliver to such Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable Eurocurrency Rate hereunder.

5.5 Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on Eurocurrency Loans for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days or, where the practice in the relevant interbank market differs, in accordance with that market practice as determined by the Administrative Agent. Interest shall be computed on Floating Rate Loans for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. The applicable interest rate for each Floating Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

5.6 Commitment Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily average of the unused amount of such Revolving Lender’s Individual Revolving Commitment. Such commitment fee shall accrue from the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Such commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, in each case for the period then ending for which such commitment fee shall not have been theretofore paid. The commitment fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

5.7 Letter of Credit Fees. (a) The Company and Telegraph agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Percentages a letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit requested by such Borrower in an amount per annum of the daily average of the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (excluding any unreimbursed payment or disbursement thereunder) equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans from time to time.

(b) The Company and Telegraph agree to pay to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee in an amount equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the daily average of the aggregate Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit requested by such Borrower (excluding any unreimbursed payment or disbursement thereunder).

(c) The fees payable pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date for the period from and including the date of the issuance of the applicable Letter of Credit to but excluding the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated or was fully drawn.

(d) In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit requested by such Borrower, the Company and Telegraph agree to pay to the Issuing Bank such fees and expenses as the Issuing Bank customarily requires in connection with the issuance, amendment, transfer, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit.

Such election shall set forth the principal amount of Incremental Loans which such Incremental Lender elects to have repaid.

(iii) Each Incremental Loan Offer shall expire on the applicable Payment Date.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (x) such Incremental Loan Offer is accompanied by a Prepayment Premium or (y) the Incremental Loans have been repaid in full and such Incremental Borrower is making a mandatory prepayment in order to comply with any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.6 (in which case no Prepayment Premium is required to be paid), the Incremental Lenders shall not have the right to refuse any mandatory prepayment set forth in such Incremental Loan Offer.

SECTION 7 Making and Proration of Payments; Setoff; Taxes.

7.1 Making of Payments. (a) All payments of principal or interest on the Credit Extensions, and of all fees, shall be made by the Borrowers in the applicable currency without set-off or counterclaim to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at its designated Lending Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall only be obligated to pay receipts in Alternate Currencies to accounts in the country of such currencies.

(b) All payments under Sections 8.1 and 8.4 shall be made by the Borrowers directly to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto.

7.2 Application of Certain Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each payment of principal shall be applied to such Credit Extensions as the Borrowers shall direct by notice to be received by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Credit Extensions, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then, except as

otherwise provided in Section 5.3, such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

7.4 Setoff. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, each Borrower agrees that at any time any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply to any Obligation of such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Borrower then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

7.5 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Credit Extension (or on account of its participation in any Letter of Credit) in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on Credit Extensions (or such participations) then held by them (other than (a) any non-pro rata interest payment resulting from a Credit Extension being an Affected Loan or (b) any payment resulting from replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 8.7), such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Credit Extensions (or sub-participations in Letters of Credit) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

7.6 Tax Matters. (a) All payments by the Obligors in respect of principal, interest, fees, indemnities and other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made to the recipient thereof without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes now or hereafter imposed on such recipient or its income, property, assets or franchises (such recipient’s “Recipient Taxes”), except to the extent that such withholding or deduction is required by applicable law. If any such withholding or deduction is required by applicable law, the Borrowers shall take such steps as the relevant Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender in recovering such Taxes.

If any Obligor shall be required under applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower will:


	(A) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be withheld or deducted;

	(B) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authorities; and

	(C) except to the extent that such withholding or deduction results from the breach by the recipient (other than because of a change in law or in the interpretation or application thereof on or after the date of this Agreement) of its U.S. Exemption Agreement, U.K./U.S. Exemption Agreement or U.K./Non U.S. Exemption Agreement, or such recipient’s U.S. Exemption Representation, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant recipient such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such recipient will equal the full amount such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) In consideration of the Borrowers’ agreements in clause (a) of this Section 7.6,


	(i) each Lender which is not organized under the laws of the United States or a State thereof hereby agrees (such Lender’s “U.S. Exemption Agreement”), to the extent permitted by applicable law (including any applicable double taxation treaty), to execute and deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (x) as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than the first scheduled payment date after the Amendment Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender not a party to this Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date, the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or W-8ECI (or applicable successor form), completed by such Lender acting reasonably and claiming a complete exemption from withholding or deduction for or on account of U.S. Recipient Taxes of such Lender, as the case may be, and (y) a new Form W-8BEN or a new W-8ECI (or successor form), as appropriate, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or applicable successor form) or any relevant change in law or treaty.

	(ii) each Lender which is organized under the laws of the United States or a State thereof, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including any applicable double taxation treaty), hereby agrees (such Lender’s “U.K/U.S. Exemption Agreement”), to the extent necessary, to avoid any withholding or deduction required by applicable law, to execute and deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (x) as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than the first scheduled payment date after the Amendment Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender not a party to this Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date, the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), an Inland Revenue Form FD-13 (or successor form), completed by such Lender acting reasonably and claiming a complete exemption from withholding or deduction for or on account of U.K. Recipient Taxes of such Lender, as the case may be, and (y) a new Form FD-13 (or successor form), as appropriate, upon the expiration of any previously delivered Form.

	(iii) If a Lender is not organized under the laws of the United States or a State thereof but is exempt (in whole or in part) from withholding or deduction for or on account of U.K. Recipient Taxes, under applicable law (including any applicable double taxation treaty), such Lender hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law with respect to itself only (such Lender’s “U.K./Non U.S. Exemption Agreement”), to the extent necessary to avoid any withholding or deduction required by applicable law, to execute and deliver to its Tax authority in its jurisdiction of residence (with a copy to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent) (x) within 20 Business Days of the Amendment Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender not a party to this Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date, the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), the appropriate Inland Revenue Form with respect to such double taxation treaty (or successor form), completed by such Lender acting reasonably and claiming a complete exemption, as the case may be, from withholding or deduction for or on account of U.K. Recipient Taxes of such Lender, and (y) a new Inland Revenue Form upon the expiration of any previously delivered Form. The Borrowers agree that no Lender shall be required to disclose the identity of or request Inland Revenue Forms from the beneficial owners represented by such Lender even if such failure results in a Borrower being obligated to make payments pursuant to Section 7.6(a).

(c) Each Lender hereby represents and warrants (such Lender’s “U.S. Exemption Representation”) to the Company that on the Amendment Effective Date (or, if later, the date it becomes a party to this Agreement) it is entitled to receive payments of principal of, and interest on, Loans made by such Lender without withholding or deduction for or on account of such Lender’s Recipient Taxes imposed by the United States of America.

(d) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of taxes and for the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable in each case under this Section 7.6, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Amounts payable by the Borrowers under the indemnity set forth in this clause (d) shall be paid within 20 Business Days from the date on which the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(e) If any Lender in its sole discretion acting in good faith determines that it has finally and irrevocably received a refund in respect of Taxes, to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 7.6, such Lender already has received an additional amount from any Borrower attributable to such Taxes giving rise to the refund, such Lender shall pay over the refund to such Borrower net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to the refund); provided, however, that such Borrower shall, upon request of such Lender, repay the refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay the refund to the relevant governmental authority. Nothing contained herein shall (i) require such Lender to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) available to such Borrower or any other Person or (ii) interfere with the right of a Lender to manage its tax affairs as such Lender deems appropriate.

(f) (i) All consideration or other amounts payable under a Loan Document by any party to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Sole Lead Arranger shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT (as defined below). If any VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any such Person to any party in connection with a Loan Document, that party shall pay to such Person (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration or other amount) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT.


	(ii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Sole Lead Arranger for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify such Person against all VAT incurred by such Person in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that such Person reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment of the VAT.

	(iii) For purposes of this clause (f), “VAT” means value added tax as provided for in the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994 and any other Tax of a similar nature whether imposed by the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction.

(g) All obligations provided for in this Section 7.6 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 8 Increased Costs; Special Provisions for Eurocurrency Loans.

8.1 Increased Costs. (a) If, after the Amendment Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:


	(i) shall subject any Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Credit Extensions or its obligation to make Credit Extensions, or shall change the basis of tax on payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its Credit Extensions or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Credit Extensions or its obligation to make Credit Extensions (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or Lending Office is located); or

	(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest rates pursuant to Section 5), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender); or

	(iii) shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) any other condition affecting its Credit Extensions or its obligation to make Credit Extensions;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to impose a cost on) such Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement with respect thereto, then within 10 days after demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and a calculation of the amount of such demand, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall reasonably determine that the adoption or phase-in of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (including such Lender’s obligations under the Revolving Commitments) to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and a calculation of the amount of such demand, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction.

8.2 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If with respect to any Interest Period:


	(a) deposits in Dollars or Alternate Currencies (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Administrative Agent in the interbank eurocurrency market for such Interest Period, or the Administrative Agent otherwise reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank


	eurocurrency market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurocurrency Rate;

	(b) two or more Lenders having an aggregate Revolving Percentage, Incremental Percentage or Term A Percentage or Term B Percentage, as the case may be, of 30% or more advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for its Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent will not as determined in good faith by such Lenders adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding such Loans for such Interest Period (taking into account any amount to which such Lenders may be entitled under Section 8.1); or

	(c) Lenders having an aggregate Revolving Percentage, Incremental Percentage or Term A Percentage or Term B Percentage, as the case may be, of 30% or more advise the Administrative Agent that the making or funding of Eurocurrency Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of such Lenders materially affects such Loans;

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) no Revolving Lender, Incremental Lender or Term A Lender or Term B Lender, as the case may be, shall be under any obligation to make, or convert any Floating Rate Loan into, Eurocurrency Loans in the applicable currency and (ii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurocurrency Loan in the applicable currency, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Floating Rate Loan.

8.3 Changes in Law Rendering Eurocurrency Loans Unlawful. In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or any change in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make, or convert any Floating Rate Loan into, Eurocurrency Loans (but shall make Floating Rate Loans concurrently with the making of, or conversion into, Eurocurrency Loans by the Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of all Eurocurrency Loans which would be made or converted at such time in the absence of such circumstances) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such Eurocurrency Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Floating Rate Loan; provided, however, that each Eurocurrency Loan denominated in an Alternate Currency must be repaid and reborrowed as a Floating Rate Loan on such date. Each Floating Rate Loan made by a Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a Eurocurrency Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding for the same period as the Group of Eurocurrency Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances.

8.4 Funding Losses. Each Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent) such Borrower will indemnify such Lender against any net loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan), as reasonably determined by such Lender, as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment or conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion

pursuant to Section 8.3) or (b) any failure of such Borrower to borrow or convert any Loans on a date specified therefor in a notice of borrowing or conversion pursuant to this Agreement. For this purpose, all notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

8.5 Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Eurocurrency Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.

8.6 Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurocurrency Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Affected Lenders. (a) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by a Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 7.6 (other than with respect to U.K. Recipient Taxes) or 8.1 and (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances of the nature described in Section 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Borrowers of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) At any time any Lender is an Affected Lender, the Company may replace such Affected Lender as a party to this Agreement with one or more other bank(s) or financial institution(s) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Revolving Lender, the Issuing Bank and, upon notice from the Company, such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, and without recourse or warranty, its Revolving Commitment, if any, its Loans, its participation in Letters of Credit, if any, and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such replacement bank(s) or other financial institution(s) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Loans so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, its ratable share of all accrued and unpaid commitment fees and Letter of Credit fees, any amounts payable under Section 8.4 as a result of such Lender receiving payment of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of an Interest Period therefor and all other obligations owed to such Affected Lender hereunder.

8.8 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9 Warranties.

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit and the Lenders to make Loans, and purchase participations in Letters of Credit hereunder, each Borrower warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders as follows:

9.1 Organization, etc. Each Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation; each Restricted Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its incorporation; each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has full corporate power and authority to own its property and conduct its business as presently conducted by it.

SECTION 13 The Administrative Agent.

13.1 Authorization. Each Lender authorizes and appoints the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender to the extent provided herein or in any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and to take such other action as may be reasonably incidental thereto and authorizes and appoints the Administrative Agent to act as security trustee in connection with the Subordination Agreements and the Collateral Documents governed by English law. Without limiting the forgoing or any other provision in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may at any time make any and all filings deemed reasonably necessary in furtherance of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the purposes hereof and thereof, including without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements showing any Borrower or other Obligor as Debtor thereunder (which financing statements may be filed in advance of the Amendment Effective Date) in all appropriate jurisdictions, which financing statements may describe the collateral in which a security interest is granted by each such Debtor as “all assets” of such Debtor. The Administrative Agent acknowledges that, in its capacity as Administrative Agent and security trustee, it holds the Collateral under the Collateral Documents for the benefit of and in trust for itself and the Lenders.

13.2 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for, and hold the Administrative Agent harmless against, a share (determined in accordance with its

respective Voting Percentage) of any loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, obligation, cost, disbursement, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent arising out of or in connection with the performance of its respective obligations or the exercise of its respective powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, as well as the costs and expenses of defending against any claim against the Administrative Agent arising hereunder or thereunder.

13.3 Exculpation. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters, and upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any schedule, certificate, statement, report, notice or other writing which it believes to be genuine or to have been presented by a proper Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be responsible for any recitals, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (b) be responsible for the validity, genuineness, perfection, effectiveness, enforceability, existence, value or enforcement of any collateral security, (c) be under any duty to inquire into or pass upon any of the foregoing matters, or to make any inquiry concerning the performance by any Borrower or any other Obligor of its obligations, or (d) in any event, be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

13.4 Credit Investigation. Each Lender acknowledges that it has made such inquiries and taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had such Lender’s Revolving Commitments been granted, the Letters of Credit been issued and such Lender’s Loans been made directly by such Lender to the Borrowers without the intervention of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender. Each Lender agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent makes no representations or warranties about the creditworthiness of the Borrowers or any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or with respect to the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the value of any security therefor.

13.5 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. The Administrative Agent in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, make loans to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

13.6 Action on Instructions of the Lenders. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including enforcement of any Loan Document or collection of the Credit Extensions), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the written instructions from the Lenders. In no event will the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable law. The relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is and shall be that of agent and principal only and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the Administrative Agent a trustee for any Lender or any holder of a participation in any Credit Extension or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties and obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.

13.7 Funding Reliance. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the day of a proposed borrowing that such Lender will not make available

to the Administrative Agent the amount which would constitute its Revolving Percentage, Incremental Percentage or Term A Percentage or Term B Percentage, as applicable, of such borrowing in accordance with Section 2.4, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the applicable Borrower. If and to the extent such Lender has not made any such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Borrower jointly and severally agree to repay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to Credit Extensions comprising such borrowing (or, in the case of any Lender which repays such amount within three Business Days, the Federal Funds Rate). Nothing set forth in this clause (a) shall relieve any Lender of any obligation it may have to make any Credit Extension hereunder.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the due date for any payment hereunder that such Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender its share of such payment. If and to the extent that such Borrower has not made any such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender which received a share of such payment shall repay such share (or the relevant portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. Nothing set forth in this clause (b) shall relieve any Borrower of any obligation it may have to make any payment hereunder.

13.8 Collateral Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon termination of the Revolving Commitments and any Hedging Agreements with any Lender and payment in full of all Secured Obligations; (b) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder; (c) constituting property in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (d) constituting property leased to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to be, renewed or extended; or (e) subject to Section 15.1(b), if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.8.

13.9 Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Company and the Lenders. The Lenders shall (with, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as promptly as practicable appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the giving of notice of such resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender or a commercial bank having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $500,000,000.

After any resignation pursuant to this Section 13.9, the provisions of this Section 13 shall inure to the benefit of the retiring Administrative Agent as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 14 Guaranty Provisions.

14.1 Guaranty. Each of the Company, Telegraph and FDTH (each referred to in this Section 14 as a “Guarantor”) guarantees certain Obligations of the other Borrowers as follows:


	(a) the Company hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, and jointly and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations (monetary or otherwise) of Telegraph and FDTH to each of the Secured Parties (as defined below) which arise out of or in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application, any Hedging Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, in each case howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due (all such obligations being herein collectively called the “Company Guaranteed Obligations”),

	(b) Telegraph hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, and jointly and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations (monetary or otherwise) of FDTH to each of the Secured Parties, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, which arise out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any Hedging


	Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time (all such obligations being herein collectively called the “Telegraph Guaranteed Obligations”), and

	(c) FDTH hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, and jointly and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations (monetary or otherwise) of Telegraph to each of the Secured Parties, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, which arise out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application, any Hedging Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time (all such obligations being herein collectively called the “FDTH Guaranteed Obligations”).

The Company Guaranteed Obligations, the Telegraph Guaranteed Obligations and the FDTH Guaranteed Obligations are herein collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”, and any reference to the Guaranteed Obligations of any of the Borrowers shall be construed as a reference to, in the case of the Company, the Company’s “Guaranteed Obligations,” in the case of the Telegraph, the Telegraph Guaranteed Obligations, and in the case of FDTH, the FDTH Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the respective liabilities of FDTH and Telegraph under this Section 14 shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of, in the case of FDTH, the FDTH Guaranteed Obligations and, in the case of Telegraph, the Telegraph Guaranteed Obligations, and would be owed by, in the case of Telegraph, FDTH and in the case of FDTH, Telegraph, to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents or the applicable Hedging Agreements but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Borrower. The holders of any Guaranteed Obligations (including the Administrative Agent) are herein collectively referred to as the “Secured Parties” and individually as a “Secured Party”.

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 14 constitute a guaranty by such Guarantor of payment when due and not of collection and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against any Borrower (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Any term or provision of this Section 14 or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations for which each Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering the obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 14 or any other Loan Document as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

14.2 Acceleration of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of any Event of Default under Section 12.1.4, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of its Guaranteed Obligations are not then due and payable, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Guarantor if all its Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable.

14.3 Guaranty Absolute, etc. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 14 shall in all respects be continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall remain in full force and effect until all its Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, finally and indefeasibly, all obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall have been paid in full, finally and indefeasibly, and the Revolving Commitments, all Letters of Credit, all Hedging Agreements and any other commitments by Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties to the Borrowers shall have terminated. Each

Guarantor guarantees that its Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each other Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto. The creation or existence from time to time of additional Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties or any of them is hereby authorized, without notice to any Guarantor, and shall in no way impair the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 14, including the guaranty hereunder of such additional Guaranteed Obligations. The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 14 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:


	(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

	(b) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party:


	(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any of the Borrowers or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise, or to join any such Person in any action against any of the Borrowers or any other Person, or

	(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Guaranteed Obligations;


	(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation;

	(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Guaranteed Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Guaranteed Obligations;

	(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

	(f) (i) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral or (ii) any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, securing or supporting any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

	(g) any manner of application of any Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligation of any Borrower under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

	(h) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;


	(i) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any guaranty or agreement, or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

	(j) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Guarantor, any Borrower, any surety or any other guarantor.

14.4 Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Section 14 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of its Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, any other Person or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.

14.5 Waiver, etc. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and its obligations under this Section 14 and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing any Guaranteed Obligations.

14.6 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in cash indefeasibly in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against any Borrower or any other Person that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 14 or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Borrower or any other Person or any collateral which the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Borrower or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in cash indefeasibly in full and the Revolving Commitments, all Letters of Credit, all Hedging Agreements and any other commitments by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any Borrower shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

14.7 Independent Credit Decision. Each Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which it is or is to be a party, and such Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each Borrower on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of such Borrower.

SECTION 15 General.

15.1 Waiver; Remedies; Amendments. (a) No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and by Lenders having an aggregate Voting Percentage of not less than the aggregate Voting Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) No amendment, modification, waiver or consent:


	(i) shall amend, modify or waive any condition precedent to (x) the Credit Extensions on the Amendment Effective Date without the consent of all Lenders or (y) any Credit Extension under the Revolving Commitments without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, or

	(ii) shall (w) extend or increase the amount of any Revolving Commitment, (x) reduce the principal amount of any Loans, (y) change the date for payment of any principal of or interest on the Credit Extensions (including, without limitation, any change to (A) any scheduled date for any such payment, or (B) the Stated Maturity Date) or any fees payable hereunder, or (z) reduce the rate of interest or discount on any Credit Extensions or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby, or

	(iii) shall (x) release any Person from its obligations under any Guaranty or release any substantial part of the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents except Collateral having a fair market value of less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents or (y) change the definition of Required Lenders or the aggregate Voting Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent or to amend Section 4 (Interlender Agreements) or this Section 15.1 without the consent of all Lenders or (z) change the definition of Required Revolving Lenders without the consent of all Revolving Lenders, or

	(iv) shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of the Revolving Lenders in a manner substantially different from the effect of such amendment, waiver or consent on the Term Lenders, unless consented to by the Required Revolving Lenders, it being understood that (x) any amendment, waiver or consent that has the effect of curing or waiving any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and that contemplates an advance in connection with such amendment, waiver or consent shall require the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent that has the effect of shortening the maturity or any payment scheduled hereunder with respect to the Term Loans shall require the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders;

(c) No provisions of Section 13 shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Administrative Agent. No provision relating to the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit that may be issued, or of Section 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.12(c), 5.7(b) or 5.7(d), shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Issuing Bank.

(d) The Fee Letters may be amended with the consent of the parties thereto.

(e) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if any change occurs in a currency or currency unit of any country or if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognized by the central bank of any relevant country as the lawful currency of such country, then:


	(i) any reference in the Loan Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Loan Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit designated by the Administrative Agent after consultation with the Company; and

	(ii) any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognized by that central bank for the conversion of such currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down to the nearest whole unit of such other currency by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably).

(f) If a change in any currency of any relevant country occurs (including in consequence of the European Monetary Union), this Agreement will be amended to the extent to which the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in consultation with the Company, determines to be necessary to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the relevant interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders in the same position, so far as is possible and the Obligors in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in respectively if no change in currency had occurred.

15.2 Confirmations. Each Borrower and each Lender agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Loans then outstanding under this Agreement.

15.3 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 5.3, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Schedule 15.3 or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties hereto, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery shall be deemed to have been given when received. For purposes of Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 5.3, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any Person that the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of any Borrower and the Borrowers shall hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.

15.4 Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of Hollinger International referred to in clause (a) of Section 9.4.

15.5 Regulations U and X. Each Lender represents that it in good faith is not relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any Margin Stock as collateral security for the extension or maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement.

15.6 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Each Borrower agrees to pay on demand (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Sole Lead Arranger (including the reasonable fees and charges of counsel for the Sole Lead Arranger and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said counsel) incurred on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and in connection with prior unconsummated financings, (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and charges of counsel for the Administrative Agent and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document and the consideration of legal considerations related to any Loan Document), and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other legal expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with (i) enforcing any Loan Documents or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to any Loan Document, the Obligations, or otherwise related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above. Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such Lender’s pro rata share (based on its respective Voting Percentage) of any such costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent not paid by the Borrowers. In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, any stamp or other taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder or the execution and delivery of any other Loan Document or any other document provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. All obligations provided for in this Section 15.6 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and any termination of this Agreement.

15.8 Captions. Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

15.9 Assignments; Reallocation.

15.9.1 Assignments. Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Company (at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default), the Issuing Bank (in the case of the assignment of a Revolving Commitment or a Credit Extension under any Revolving Commitment) and the Administrative Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and shall not be applicable in the case of assignment of Loans to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of any Lender or to any other Lender), at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees, all or any portion of such Lender’s Loans and/or Revolving Commitments hereunder, subject to the following conditions:


	(a) each Assignment and delegation of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments shall be a constant, not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Revolving Lender’s Individual Revolving Commitment, participation in Letters of Credit and Revolving Loans hereunder in a minimum aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the sum of the assigning Revolving


	Lender’s remaining Revolving Loans, participation in Letters of Credit and (to the extent not used) Individual Revolving Commitment hereunder and (y) $1,000,000 in the aggregate or such lesser amount agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent; and

	(b) any assignment of Term A Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the assigning Term A Lender’s remaining Term A Loans and (y) $1,000,000 or such lesser amount agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent;

	(c) any assignment of Term B Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the assigning Term B Lender’s remaining Term B Loans and (y) $1,000,000 or such lesser amount agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that a Term B Lender may assign smaller amounts of its Term B Loans to different funds managed by such Term B Lender; and

	(d) any assignment of any Incremental Loans shall be in the minimum aggregate amount set forth in the applicable Supplement;

provided, however, that (i) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at the time of such assignment and delegation, the Borrowers would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 8 to the Eligible Assignee than the Borrowers are then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Section and (ii) the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Eligible Assignee until the date when all of the following conditions shall have been met:


	(A) five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Administrative Agent and the assigning Lender shall agree) shall have passed after written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Eligible Assignee, shall have been given to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee,

	(B) the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E (an “Assignment Agreement”), together with any documents required to be delivered thereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and, at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default, the Company, and

	(C) the assigning Lender or the Eligible Assignee shall have paid the Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500 (and in the case of assignments on the same day by a Lender to more than one fund managed or advised by the same investment advisor, only a single $3,500 processing fee shall be payable for all such assignments by such Lenders to such funds).

From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (A) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to request promissory notes evidencing Obligations owed to it in accordance with Section 2.16, and (B) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall prepare all necessary documents, if any, in connection with assignments. Accrued interest on that part of such Lender’s Obligations being assigned shall be paid as provided in the Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and fees on that part of such Lender’s Obligations not being assigned

shall be paid as provided in the Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and fees on that part of such Lender’s Obligations not being assigned shall be paid to the assigning Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in this Agreement. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 15.9.1 shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.9.1 or any other provisions of this Agreement, (i) any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans to any central bank (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder) and (ii) any Term B Lender or Incremental Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may (without the consent of or notice to the Company or the Administrative Agent) pledge all or any portion of its rights in connection with this Agreement to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by such trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section regarding assignments in all respects. No assignment or pledge described in the preceding sentence shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and Letters of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. No assignment of any Loans or Letters of Credit shall be effective until such transfer is recorded by the Administrative Agent. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

15.9.2 Re-allocations. The credit extensions and commitments made by the Original Lenders and outstanding pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be assigned and re-allocated among the Lenders so that, and credit extensions and commitments shall be made by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement so that, from and after the Amendment Effective Date, the respective commitments and credit extensions of the Lenders shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.1. The credit extensions and commitments of the Original Lenders which shall cease to be Lenders hereunder shall be purchased at par, plus accrued interest to (but excluding) the Amendment Effective Date, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make suitable adjustments for the commitments and credit extensions of Existing Lenders that remain Lenders hereunder. Credit extensions made by Original Lenders which remain Lenders hereunder shall, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, be evidenced and governed by this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

15.10 Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, the direct or participation interest of such Lender in any Letter of Credit or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (any Person purchasing any such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”) provided that such sale shall be of a constant and not a varying percentage of the selling Lender’s Individual Revolving Commitment, Letters of Credit and Revolving Loans. In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (x) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (y) all amounts payable by the Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any of the events described in Section 15.1(b). Each Lender agrees to

incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 8 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold).

15.11 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. All obligations of the Borrowers and rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law.

15.12 Counterparts/Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to any applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

15.13 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and the permitted successors and assigns of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. No Borrower shall be permitted to assign its Obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document without the written consent of all Lenders; provided, however, that the Company may assign its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to a newly-formed Delaware corporation which (x) is the survivor of a merger with the Company and (y) had no assets or liabilities immediately prior to such merger provided that (A) such merged corporation shall execute all documents with respect to the assumption of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such other documents as may be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, (B) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result from such merger and (C) such merger will not adversely affect the Lenders.

15.14 Indemnification by the Borrowers. (a) In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the agreement to extend the Term A Loans, the Term B Loans and the Revolving Commitments provided hereunder, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Sole Lead Arranger, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, and agents of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Sole Lead Arranger and each Lender and trustees and advisors managing any

Lender (collectively the “Indemnified Parties” and individually each an “Indemnified Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges (collectively therein called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any tender offer, merger, purchase of stock, purchase of assets or other transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit or (ii) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities as to any Indemnified Party which is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to be arising on account of such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 15.14 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, its directors, shareholders, affiliates or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated. The Borrowers also agree not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions, contemplated by the Loan Documents. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Nothing set forth above shall be construed to relieve any Indemnified Party from any obligation it may have under this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, each Borrower agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for, and indemnify each Indemnified Party against, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultant’s fees) which any Indemnified Party may pay, incur or become subject to arising out of or relating to the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Regulated Material at any real property owned or leased by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or used by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in its business or operations, except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party.

(c) An Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing as to any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnity may be sought, but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Borrowers from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that the Company is not materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. After such notice to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to participate in, and to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party in such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation and shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation. In any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own separate counsel at such Indemnified Party’s own expense and not subject to reimbursement by the Borrowers; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall pay as incurred the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation if (i) the parties to such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation include both the Indemnified Parties and the Company and there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Company; (ii) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent both the Company and such Indemnified Party would present such

counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest; (iii) the Company shall not have employed satisfactory counsel to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation; or (iv) the Company shall authorize such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) at the expense of the Borrowers.

(d) Each Indemnified Party agrees that without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnification could be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of the Borrowers and the Indemnified Parties from any liabilities arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation and (ii) does not include an admission of fault or culpability on the part of the Company, its Affiliates or its officers, directors or agents; provided, however, that any Lender may seek a dismissal of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation as to itself without the consent of the Borrower.

15.15 Survival of Indemnities. All obligations provided for in Section 14.13 and in any other indemnity provided the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Sole Lead Arranger or any Lender in any other Loan Document shall survive repayment of the Obligations and any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

15.16 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as such by the Company in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound commercial lending practices and, in any event, may make disclosure on the same confidential basis as provided for herein that is reasonably required by any actual or bona fide potential transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Loan or participation therein or in any Letter of Credit or as required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or any self-regulatory organization with authority over the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender (including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or pursuant to legal process or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 15.16; provided that, unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender shall promptly notify the Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an (a) examination of the financial condition of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender by such governmental agency or (b) risk-based capital oversight of insurance company investments by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information.

15.17 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION, ANY SUCH LITIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED AND/OR ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH BORROWER, COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ISSUING BANK, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY

AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY; FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ISSUING BANK, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

15.18 American Legal Terms. References to any legal term or concept (including those for any action, remedy, method of judicial proceeding, document, statute, court official, governmental authority or agency) shall in respect of any jurisdiction other than the United States be construed as references to the term or concept which most nearly corresponds to it in that jurisdiction.

15.19 Judgment Currency. The obligations of the Borrowers and each other Obligor in respect of any sum due to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder, under or in respect of any other Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum was originally denominated (the “Original Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchases the Original Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, such Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Borrower.

15.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ISSUING BANK, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

Delivered at New York, New York, as of the day and year first above written.

Safety Matters

The four pending OSHA investigations are:

1.		Complaint No. 203878657 — The investigation began on July 31, 2002 when an employee notified OSHA, via telephone of hazardous conditions at the Ashland plant. The allegations include (a) unsafe conditions and potential employee injury resulting from employees required to work alone in the reel room; (b) Employees exposed to potential injury in the reel room while using the auto-load feature; and (c) Employees at risk for slipping and failing because of excess oil, paper and paper dust on the floor. After receiving the complaint, OSHA requested a written response and a posting of the complaint, which were completed on August 4, 2002. Although the investigation remains open for a period of six months, OSHA has stated it will not conduct an onsite inspection at this time.

2.		Complaint No 203878244 — OSHA received a telephone complaint alleging a threat of imminent harm to employees on August 23, 2002. OSHA conducted an unannounced onsite inspection on August 28, 2002 and issued the Complaint alleging eight potential violations. At the onsite inspection CST provided copies of OSHA logs. The inspector took photos and indicated he would return at a later date for employee interviews. We have retained counsel and do not yet have the date for employee interviews, or any follow-up visit from the inspector. The inspection will remain open for six months during which time there will be employee interviews and CST will be required to conduct training and develop written materials to bring plant into compliance with standards. There will likely be modest fines on some of the violations.

3.		Complaint No. 5-1260-03-0-Retaliation claim filed by Employee who was terminated after giving statement in OSHA investigation. Finding of liability is unlikely. Potential fines include backpay dating to termination date.

4.		Complaint No. 5-1260-02-054 Retaliation claim filed by current employee alleging retaliation following statements made in OSHA investigation. Nominal fines possible but unlikely.

The estimated aggregated exposure of these four claims is less than $50,000.

No further disclosure under the Credit Agreement.
