SPECIAL CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD–LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, in both written reports (such as this report) and oral statements, Salem Communications Corporation (“Salem” or the “company,” including references to Salem by “we,” “us” and “our”) makes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal and state securities laws. Disclosures that use words such as the company “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may” or “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect the company’s current expectations and are based upon data available to the company at the time of the statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations including, but not limited to, Salem’s ability to close and integrate announced transactions, competition in the radio broadcast, publishing and Internet industries and from new technologies, market acceptance of recently launched music formats and adverse economic conditions. These risks as well as other risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in Salem’s reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Forward-looking statements made in this report speak as of the date hereof. The company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this report. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in context with the various disclosures made by Salem about its business. These projections or forward-looking statements fall under the safe harbors of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

SALEM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Information with respect to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is unaudited. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the company, for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The company accounts for its employee stock plan under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.”

SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, permits companies to recognize, as expense over the vesting period, the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the company's stock-based compensation plans have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, management believes that the existing option valuation models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of awards from the plan. Therefore, as permitted, the company applies the existing accounting rules under APB No. 25 and provides pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma income (loss) per share disclosures for stock-based awards made during the year as if the fair value method defined in SFAS No. 123, as amended, had been applied. Net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 would have changed to the following pro forma amounts:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,

	2002			2003			2002			2003

	(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 3. RECLASSIFICATIONS

We have reclassified our statements of operations data for all periods presented to reflect increases to revenues and expenses as appropriate for barter transactions, eliminating the practice of reporting these transactions net in our statements of operations. In addition, we have reclassified our statements of operations data for all periods presented to reflect our sale on September 30, 2002 of the assets of radio station WYGY–FM, Cincinnati, Ohio, which has been accounted for as a discontinued operation.

NOTE 5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that statement, SFAS Statement No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.” In addition, SFAS No. 145 amends FASB Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.” Salem adopted this statement on January 1, 2003 and its adoption resulted in the classification of any loss on early retirement of debt in other income and expense rather than as an extraordinary item under the prior rules.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123.” This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Salem adopted this statement and its adoption did not have a material impact on Salem’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As permitted under the statement, Salem continues to measure any expense related to stock options under the intrinsic value method and provides the required disclosures under the fair value method in Note 2.

Financial Interpretation No. 46

In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests (primary beneficiary) in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to provide certain disclosures. A VIE is an entity in which the voting equity investors do not have a controlling interest, or the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In October 2003, the FASB announced that it has deferred the effective date of FIN 46 until the fourth quarter of 2003. Salem is currently performing a review of its investments and arrangements to determine the impact of this pronouncement.

NOTE 6. COSTS OF DENIED TOWER SITE AND LICENSE UPGRADE

In April 2003, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors denied Salem’s motion to relocate its radio towers for radio station KCBQ–AM, San Diego, California. As a result of the denial, the company recorded a write-off of approximately $1.3 million in capitalized costs related to the project. Additionally, in May 2003, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) denied Salem’s motion to increase the night-time coverage of radio station WGKA–AM, Atlanta, Georgia. As a result of the denial, the company recorded a write-off of approximately $0.9 million in capitalized costs related to the project. These write-offs were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 in Salem’s Statement of Operations as “Costs of denied tower site and license upgrade.”

NOTE 7. TERMINATED OFFERING COSTS

Salem recorded a charge of $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2003 related to the costs incurred with respect to a contemplated debt offering that was terminated during the third quarter of 2003. The charge is reported in Salem’s Statement of Operations as “Cost of terminated offering.”

NOTE 8. REDEMPTION OF $100.0 MILLION 9½% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2007

On January 22, 2003, Salem redeemed its $100.0 million 9½% senior subordinated notes due 2007 (“9½% Notes”), representing all such notes then outstanding. The redemption resulted in a loss on early retirement of long-term debt of $6.4 million. Salem used the proceeds of its $100.0 million 7¾% senior subordinated notes due 2010 (“7¾% Notes”) issued in December 2002, and additional borrowings under Salem’s credit facility to redeem the 9½% Notes. The proceeds of the issuance of the 7¾% Notes were recorded on Salem’s balance sheet as “Restricted cash” at December 31, 2002.

NOTE 9. AMORTIZABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following tables provide details, by major category, of the significant classes of amortizable intangible assets:


	As of December 31, 2002

				Accumulated
		Cost		Amortization			Net

		(Dollars in thousands)

Noncompetition agreements		$	12,618	$	(12,223	)	$	395

Favorable and assigned leases			1,800		(1,201	)		599
Other amortizable intangible assets			4,237		(1,928	)		2,309

		$	25,933	$	(19,757	)	$	6,176


	As of September 30, 2003

				Accumulated

Other amortizable intangible assets			3,302		(1,432	)		1,870

		$	9,010	$	(4,367	)	$	4,643

Based on the amortizable intangible assets as of September 30, 2003, we estimate amortization expense for the next five years to be as follows:


Year Ending December 31,	Amortization Expense

	*(Dollars in thousands)*

2004		$	1,528
2005			1,276
2006			728

2008			64

NOTE 10. BASIC AND DILUTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options.

Options to purchase 566,460 and 763,165 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes outstanding stock options whose exercise price is in excess of the average price of the company’s stock price. These options are excluded due to their antidilutive effect. For periods in which the company has a net loss, all options are excluded due to their antidilutive effect.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. We actively monitor these fluctuations and use derivative instruments from time to time to manage the related risk. In accordance with our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments only for the purpose of managing risk associated with an asset, liability, committed transaction, or probable forecasted transaction that is identified by management. Our use of derivative instruments may result in short-term gains or losses and may increase volatility in our earnings.

We had two interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of September 30, 2003, which are used to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability that may result due to changes in interest rates. The counter party to these interest rate swap agreements are major financial institutions. Although we are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter party, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counter party nor would we expect any such loss to be material.

At September 30, 2003, an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $66.0 million was outstanding. This agreement relates to our $150.0 million 9% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (“9% Notes”). This agreement expires in 2011 when the 9% Notes mature, and effectively swaps the 9% fixed interest rate on $66.0 million of the 9% Notes for a floating rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 3.09%. The estimated fair value of this swap agreement and the excess of fair value over the book value of the debt hedged by the swap, based on current market rates, were each $6.8 million at September 30, 2003. Changes in the fair value of the swap and the changes in the fair value of debt being hedged are recorded as part of interest expense. The fair value of the swap agreement is included with long-term assets, and the fair value of the debt hedged by the swap is recorded in long-term debt consistent with the maturity date of the swap. Because this fair value hedge is effective (that is, the change in the fair value of the hedge instrument is designed to be equal to the change in the fair value of the item being hedged), there was no income statement effect relative to the change in the fair value of the swap agreement. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was reduced by $2.3 million as a result of the difference between the 9.0% fixed interest rate on our debt and the floating interest rate under the swap agreement, which was 4.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and is 4.21% for the six month period ended December 31, 2003.

On July 27, 2003, we entered into a second interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $24.0 million. This agreement also relates to our 9% Notes. This agreement expires in 2011 when the 9% Notes mature, and effectively swaps the 9% fixed interest rate on $24.0 million of the 9% Notes for a floating rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 4.86%. The estimated negative fair value of this swap agreement and the excess of book value over the change in fair value of the debt hedged by the swap, based on current market rates, were each $0.3 million at September 30, 2003. Changes in the fair value of the swap and the changes in the fair value of debt being hedged are recorded as part of interest expense. The fair value of the swap agreement is included with long-term liabilities, and the fair value of the debt hedged by the swap is recorded in long-term debt consistent with the maturity date of the swap. Because this fair value hedge is effective (that is, the change in the fair value of the hedge instrument is designed to be equal to the change in the fair value of the item being hedged), there was no income statement effect relative to the change in the fair value of the swap agreement. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was reduced by $0.2 million as a result of the difference between the 9.0% fixed interest rate on our debt and the floating interest rate under the swap agreement, which is 5.98% for the six month period ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE 12. CONTINGENCIES

Incident to our business activities, we are party to a number of legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Also, we maintain insurance which may provide coverage for such matters. Consequently, our management is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact with respect to these matters. However, our management believes, at this time, that the final resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT DATA

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires companies to provide certain information about their operating segments. The company has one reportable operating segment—radio broadcasting—which includes our talk and music formats and our various radio networks. The remaining non-reportable segments consist of the Salem Web Network (our Internet division) and Salem Publishing, Inc., our publishing business, which do not meet the reportable segment quantitative threshholds and accordingly are aggregated below as “other media.” Revenue and expenses earned and charged between segments are recorded at fair value.

Management uses operating income before depreciation, amortization and unusual charges as its measure of profitability for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Our consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable from period to period because of our acquisition and disposition of radio stations and certain assets of other media businesses.

We believe that we are the largest U.S. radio broadcasting company, measured by number of stations and audience coverage, providing programming targeted at audiences interested in religious and family themes. Our core business is the ownership and operation of radio stations in large metropolitan markets. After completing our pending transactions, we will own and operate 92 radio stations, including 58 stations in 22 of the top 25 markets. We are the sixth largest operator measured by number of stations overall and the third largest operator measured by number of stations in the top 25 markets. Management believes that we are the fifteenth largest radio broadcaster measured by net broadcasting revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002. We also own Salem Radio Network®, which we believe to be a leading developer, producer and syndicator of religious and family issues oriented talk, news and music programming (but not of general broadcast programming) with approximately 1,600 affiliated radio stations. In addition, we own complementary Internet and publishing businesses.

We maintain a website at http://www.salem.cc. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after those reports are electronically filed or furnished to the SEC.

Our business strategy is to expand and improve our national radio platform in order to deliver compelling content to audiences interested in religious and family issues. We primarily program our stations with our Christian teaching and talk format which is talk programming with religious and family themes. We also feature conservative news/talk and contemporary Christian music formats. Salem Radio Network® supports our strategy by enabling us to offer a variety of program content on our radio stations.

Historically, our principal sources of revenue have been:

•           the sale of block program time, both to national and local program producers,
•           the sale of advertising time on our radio stations, both to national and local advertisers, and
•           the sale of advertising time on our national radio network.

Our broadcasting revenue is affected primarily by the program rates our radio stations charge and by the advertising rates our radio stations and networks charge. The rates for block program time are based upon our stations’ ability to attract audiences that will support the program producers through contributions and purchases of their products. Advertising rates are based upon the demand for advertising time, which in turn is based on our stations’ and networks’ ability to produce results for their advertisers. Historically, we have not subscribed to traditional audience measuring services. Instead, we have marketed ourselves to advertisers based upon the responsiveness of our audience. In selected markets, we subscribe to Arbitron, which develops quarterly reports to measure a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers. Each of our radio stations and our network have a general pre-determined level of time that they make available for block programs and/or advertising, which may vary at different times of the day.

In recent years, we have placed greater emphasis on the development of local advertising in all of our markets. We encourage our general managers and sales managers to increase advertising revenue. We can create additional advertising revenue in a variety of ways, such as removing block programming that generates marginal audience response, adjusting the start time of programs to add advertising in more desirable time slots and increasing advertising rates.

As is typical in the radio broadcasting industry, our second and fourth quarter advertising revenue generally exceeds our first and third quarter advertising revenue. Quarterly revenue from the sale of block program time does not tend to vary, however, since program rates are generally set annually.

Our cash flow is affected by the transition period experienced by radio stations when, due to the nature of the radio station, our plans for the market and other circumstances, we find it beneficial or advisable to change its format. This transition period is when we develop a radio station’s customer and listener base. During this period, a station will typically generate negative or insignificant cash flow.

In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade or barter agreements to exchange advertising time for goods or services, such as other media advertising, travel or lodging, in lieu of cash. In order to preserve the sale of our advertising time for cash, we generally enter into trade agreements only if the goods or services bartered to us will be used in our business. We have minimized our use of trade agreements and have generally sold most of our advertising time for cash. In 2002, we sold 95% of our advertising time for cash. In addition, it is our general policy not to preempt advertising paid for in cash with advertising paid for in trade.

The primary operating expenses incurred in the ownership and operation of our radio stations include employee salaries and commissions, and facility expenses, for example, rent and utilities. Beginning in 2000, in connection with the launch of our contemporary Christian music format in several markets, we incurred increased amounts for promotional expenses and music license fees. In addition to these expenses, our networks incur programming costs and lease expenses for satellite communication facilities. We also incur and expect to continue to incur significant depreciation, amortization and interest expense as a result of completed and future acquisitions of radio stations and existing and future borrowings.

Salem Web Network, our Internet division, earns its revenue from sales of streaming services, sales of banner advertising and sponsorships on the Internet, and, to a lesser extent, sales of software and software support contracts. CCM, our publishing business, earns its revenue by selling advertising in and subscriptions to its publications. The revenue and related operating expenses of these businesses are reported as “other media” on our consolidated statements of operations.

SAME STATION DEFINITION

In the following discussion of our results of operations, we compare our results between periods on an as reported basis (that is, the results of operations of all radio stations and network formats owned or operated at any time during either period) and on a “same station” basis. With regard to fiscal quarters, we include in our same station comparisons the results of operations of radio stations and networks that we own or operate in the same format during that quarter, as well as the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Same station results for a full year are based on the sum of the same station results for the four quarters of that year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We have reclassified our statements of operations for all periods presented for barter transactions to reflect increases to revenues and expenses as appropriate, eliminating the practice of reporting the net contribution of these transactions in our statements of operations.

Quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to quarter ended September 30, 2002

NET BROADCASTING REVENUE. Net broadcasting revenue increased $2.8 million or 6.8% to $42.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $39.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The growth is attributable to an increase in net revenue from our music stations acquired since the middle of 2000, an increase in program rates and the acquisitions of radio stations during 2002, partially offset by a decrease in network revenue due to the loss of affiliates as a result of increased network competition. On a same station basis, net revenue improved $2.4 million or 5.9% to $42.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $39.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The growth is attributable to an increase in net revenue from our music stations acquired since the middle of 2000 and an increase in program rates, partially offset by a decrease in network revenue due to the loss of affiliates. Revenue from advertising as a percentage of our gross broadcasting revenue increased to 53.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from 51.0% for the same quarter of the prior year. Revenue from block program time as a percentage of our gross broadcasting revenue decreased to 35.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from 35.8% for the same quarter of the prior year. This change in our revenue mix is primarily due to the growth of our contemporary Christian music format as well as our continued efforts to develop more advertising revenue in all of our markets.

OTHER MEDIA REVENUE. Other media revenue decreased $0.1 million or 7.3% to $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $2.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease is attributable primarily to a decline in revenues at Salem Publishing, partially offset by additional revenues generated by Crosswalk.com, which was acquired in October 2002.

BROADCASTING OPERATING EXPENSES. Broadcasting operating expenses increased $1.3 million or 5.1% to $27.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $25.9 million for the same quarter of the prior year. On a same station basis, broadcasting operating expenses increased $0.9 million or 3.6% to $26.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $25.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to incremental selling expenses incurred to produce the increased revenue in the period, partially offset by the impact of cost containment initiatives initiated during the first quarter of 2003.

OTHER MEDIA OPERATING EXPENSES. Other media operating expenses increased $0.1 million or 4.6% to $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $1.9 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase is attributable primarily to an increase in selling and editorial costs associated with the integration of Crosswalk.com, which was acquired in October 2002, offset by a reduction in costs associated with our publishing business, reduced audio streaming costs for our Internet business and reduced overhead costs.

CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses increased $0.1 million or 2.8% to $4.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $3.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to inflation and corporate salary increases.

COST OF TERMINATED OFFERING. During the third quarter of 2003, Salem incurred a one-time charge of $0.7 million to write–off costs associated with a contemplated debt offering that was terminated during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. This charge is found in Salem's Statement of Operations as “Cost of Terminated Offering.”

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.3 million or 8.5% to $3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $2.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is due principally to the depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisitions of radio stations and an Internet business during 2002.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income of approximately $24,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 is primarily from interest earned on excess cash. Interest expense decreased $1.4 million or 20.4% to $5.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $6.9 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to savings of $1.0 million in interest related to our interest rate swap agreements entered into in April 2002 and July 2003 (see “ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK—Derivative Instruments,” below), and savings due to the refinancing of our 9½% Notes. Gain on sale of assets of $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to the recovery of bad debt related to a note acquired in the sale of certain property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, in addition to the disposition of certain other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Other expense, net was $0.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and was related primarily to bank commitment fees associated with our credit facility.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes (that is, the effective tax rate) was 36.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 and 34.6% for the same quarter of the prior year. For the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 the effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory income rate of 35.0% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX. Income from discontinued operations was $17.9 million net of income tax expense of $10.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Discontinued operations relate to the operations of WYGY-FM, Cincinnati, Ohio, which we discontinued operating and sold the assets of on September 30, 2002 for $45.0 million.

NET INCOME (LOSS). We recognized net income of $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to net income of $18.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year.

Nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2002

NET BROADCASTING REVENUE. Net broadcasting revenue increased $9.1 million or 7.8% to $124.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $115.6 million for the same period of the prior year. The growth is attributable to an increase in net revenue from our music stations acquired since the middle of 2000, an increase in program rates and the acquisitions of radio stations during 2002, partially offset by a decrease in network revenue due to the loss of affiliates. On a same station basis, net revenue improved $8.3 million or 7.2% to $123.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $115.6 million for the same period of the prior year. The growth is attributable to an increase in net revenue from our music stations acquired since the middle of 2000 and an increase in program rates, partially offset by a decrease in network revenue due to the loss of affiliates. Revenue from advertising as a percentage of our gross broadcasting revenue increased to 51.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 49.8% for the same period of the prior year. Revenue from block program time as a percentage of our gross broadcasting revenue decreased to 35.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 36.3% for the same period of the prior year. This change in our revenue mix is primarily due to the growth of our contemporary Christian music format as well as our continued efforts to develop more advertising revenue in all of our markets.

OTHER MEDIA REVENUE. Other media revenue increased $0.4 million or 8.2% to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $5.6 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase is attributable primarily to additional revenues generated by Crosswalk.com, which was acquired in October 2002, partially offset by a decline in revenues at Salem Publishing.

BROADCASTING OPERATING EXPENSES. Broadcasting operating expenses increased $3.6 million or 4.6% to $81.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $77.4 million for the same period of the prior year. On a same station basis, broadcasting operating expenses increased $3.0 million or 3.8% to $80.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $77.3 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to incremental selling expenses incurred to produce the increased revenue in the period, partially offset by the impact of cost containment initiatives initiated during the first quarter of 2003.

COSTS OF DENIED TOWER SITE AND LICENSE UPGRADE. In April 2003, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors denied the company’s motion to relocate its radio towers for radio station KCBQ–AM, San Diego, California. As a result of the denial, the company recorded a write-off of approximately $1.3 million in capitalized costs related to the project. Additionally, in May 2003, the FCC denied the company’s motion to increase the night-time coverage of radio station WGKA–AM, Atlanta, Georgia. As a result of the denial, the company recorded a write-off of approximately $0.9 million in capitalized costs related to the project. These write-offs were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 in the company’s Statement of Operations as “Costs of denied tower site and license upgrade.”

OTHER MEDIA OPERATING EXPENSES. Other media operating expenses increased $0.3 million or 5.8% to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $5.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is attributable primarily to an increase in selling and editorial costs associated with the integration of Crosswalk.com, which was acquired in October 2002, offset by a reduction in costs associated with our publishing business, reduced audio streaming costs for our Internet business and reduced overhead costs.

CORPORATE EXPENSES. Corporate expenses increased $0.8 million or 6.8% to $12.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $11.3 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in overhead costs associated with the acquisitions of radio stations and an Internet business during 2002.

LEGAL SETTLEMENT. On December 6, 2000, Gospel Communications International (“GCI”) made a demand for arbitration upon us, as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. On July 15, 2002, we reached a confidential settlement with GCI for $2.3 million. As a result of this settlement, we recorded a one-time charge of approximately $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2002.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million or 6.7% to $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $8.6 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase is due principally to the depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisitions of radio stations and an Internet business during 2002.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily from interest earned on the cash which was held in a trust account in January 2003 that was used to redeem all of our 9½% Notes and from interest earned on excess cash. Interest expense decreased $2.6 million or 12.7% to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $20.3 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to savings of $2.5 million in interest related to our interest rate swap agreements entered into in April 2002 and July 2003 (see “ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK—Derivative Instruments,” below), and savings due to the refinancing of our 9½% Notes, offset by increased long-term debt related to our radio station acquisitions in 2002. Additionally, as part of the refinancing of our 9½% Notes, both the 9½% Notes and the 7¾% Notes, issued on December 23, 2002, were outstanding until January 22, 2003, at which time the 9½% Notes were redeemed. Loss on early redemption of long-term debt of $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is the result of our early redemption of our 9½% Notes on January 22, 2003, whereby we paid a $4.8 million premium to redeem the 9½% Notes and wrote-off approximately $1.7 million of unamortized bond issuance costs related to the 9½% Notes (see “ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES,” below). Gain on sale of assets of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to the recovery of bad debt related to a note acquired in the sale of certain property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, in addition to the disposition of certain other property, plant and equipment. Loss on sale of assets of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 is primarily due to disposition costs related to asset sales in prior periods. Other expense, net was $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and was related primarily to bank commitment fees associated with our credit facility.

BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. Benefit for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes (that is, the effective tax rate) was 34.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 38.1% for the same period of the prior year. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 the effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory income rate of 35.0% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX. Income from discontinued operations was $17.9 million net of income tax expense of $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Discontinued operations relate to the operations of WYGY-FM, Cincinnati, Ohio, which we discontinued operating and sold the assets of on September 30, 2002 for $45.0 million.

NET INCOME (LOSS). We recognized a net loss of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to net income of $14.7 million for the same period of the prior year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The performance of a radio broadcasting company is customarily measured by the ability of its stations to generate station operating income. We define station operating income as net broadcasting revenue less broadcasting operating expenses.

Station operating income is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP; as a result it should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for our results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. Management believes that station operating income is useful, when considered in conjunction with operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it is generally recognized by the radio broadcasting industry as a tool in measuring performance and in applying valuation methodologies for companies in the media, entertainment and communications industries. This measure is used by investors and analysts who report on the radio broadcasting industry to provide comparisons between broadcasting groups. Additionally, our management uses station operating income as one of our key measures of operating efficiency and profitability. Station operating income does not purport to represent cash provided by operating activities. Our statement of cash flows presents our cash flow activity and our income statement presents our historical performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our station operating income is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

STATION OPERATING INCOME.

Quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to quarter ended September 30, 2002. Station operating income increased $1.4 million or 10.1% to $15.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $14.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of net broadcasting revenue, station operating income increased to 36.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from 35.1% for the same quarter of the prior year. The percentage increase is primarily attributable to the effect of radio stations acquired during 2001 and 2002 that previously operated with formats other than their current format and the effect of the growth of our contemporary Christian music format. Acquired and reformatted radio stations typically produce low margins during the first several years following acquisition or conversion. Station operating income margins improve as we implement scheduled program rate increases and increase advertising revenue on our stations. On a same station basis, station operating income improved $1.5 million or 10.1% to $15.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $14.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of same station net broadcast revenue, same station operating income increased to 36.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from 35.3% for the same quarter of the prior year.

Nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2002. Station operating income increased $5.5 million or 14.4% to $43.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $38.2 million for the same period of the prior year. As a percentage of net broadcasting revenue, station operating income increased to 35.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 33.0% for the same period of the prior year. The percentage increase is primarily attributable to the effect of radio stations acquired during 2001 and 2002 that previously operated with formats other than their current format and the effect of the growth of our contemporary Christian music format. Acquired and reformatted radio stations typically produce low margins during the first several years following acquisition or conversion. Station operating income margins improve as we implement scheduled program rate increases and increase advertising revenue on our stations. On a same station basis, station operating income improved $5.3 million or 14.0% to $43.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $38.3 million for the same period of the prior year. As a percentage of same station net broadcast revenue, same station operating income increased to 35.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 33.1% for the same period of the prior year.

The following table provides a reconciliation of station operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure) to operating income (as presented in our financial statements) for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, acquisitions of radio station and network assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes and long-term debt and debt covenant compliance. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for acquisitions and upgrades of radio station and network assets

Most of our radio station acquisitions have consisted primarily of the FCC licenses to broadcast in a particular market. We often do not acquire the existing format, or we change the format upon acquisition when we find it beneficial. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price for the assets of a radio station is allocated to the FCC license. It is generally our policy to retain third-party appraisers to value radio stations, networks or other media businesses under consideration for acquisition. The allocations assigned to acquired FCC licenses and other assets are subjective by their nature and require our careful consideration and judgment. We believe the allocations represent appropriate estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired. As part of the valuation and appraisal process, the third-party appraisers prepare reports which assign values to the various asset categories in our financial statements. Our management reviews these reports for reasonableness. The reports form the basis to record the acquisition of the radio station, network or other media business at the close of the transaction. When we exchange assets, we consider whether the exchange is an exchange of a business or otherwise requires the assets received to be recorded at fair value with the recognition of a gain or loss on the transaction, or the exchange is an exchange of similar productive assets that should be recorded on a historical cost basis with no gain or loss recorded. In accordance with purchase accounting methodology, the operating results of the acquired assets and businesses are included in the consolidated operating results since the dates of acquisition.

From time to time we undertake projects to upgrade our radio station technical facilities and/or FCC licenses. Our policy is to capitalize costs up to the point where the project is complete, at which point we transfer the costs to the appropriate fixed asset and/or intangible asset categories. In certain cases where a project’s completion is contingent upon FCC approval, we assess the probable future benefit of the asset at the time that it is recorded and monitor it through the FCC approval process. In the unlikely event the required approval is considered not probable, we write-off the capitalized costs of the project.

Allowance for bad debt

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. An analysis is performed by applying various percentages based on the age of the receivable and performing other subjective analyses. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Intangible assets

Under the FASB’s new rules (SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), we no longer amortize goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives, and will perform annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. We believe our FCC licenses have indefinite lives under the new standard and accordingly amortization expense is not recorded for our FCC licenses or our goodwill effective July 1, 2001 for assets acquired subsequent to September 30, 2001, and effective January 1, 2002 for all other assets. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

We perform an annual test of impairment on our FCC licenses and our goodwill. These tests include comparing the recorded values to the appraised values, calculations of discounted cash flows, operating income and other analyses. As of December 31, 2002, based on our application of the impairment rules, no impairment was recorded. The assessment of the fair values of these assets and the underlying businesses are estimates which require careful consideration and judgments by our management. If conditions in the markets in which our stations and other media businesses operate or if the operating results of our stations and other media businesses change or fail to develop as anticipated, our estimates of the fair values may change in the future and result in impairment charges.

Valuation allowance (deferred taxes)

For financial reporting purposes, we have recorded a valuation allowance of $1.4 million as of September 30, 2003 to offset a portion of the deferred tax assets related to the state net operating loss carryforwards. Management regularly reviews the company’s financial forecasts in an effort to determine the realizability of the net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes. Accordingly, the valuation allowance is adjusted periodically based on management’s estimate of the benefit the company will receive from such carryforwards.

Long-term debt and debt covenant compliance

Our classification of our borrowings under our credit facility as long-term debt in our balance sheet is based on our assessment that under the borrowing restrictions and covenants in our credit facility and after considering our projected operating results and cash flows for the coming year that no principal payments will be required pursuant to the credit agreement. These projections are estimates which are inherantly uncertain and dependent upon a number of factors including developments in the markets in which we are operating in and economic and political factors, among other factors; our actual results could differ from these estimates. Should our actual results differ materially from these estimates, payments may become due under our credit facility or it may become necessary to seek an amendment to our credit facility. Based on our management’s current assessment, we do not anticipate principal payments becoming due under our credit facility or a further amendment of our credit facility becoming necessary.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically financed acquisitions through borrowings, including borrowings under credit facilities and, to a lesser extent, from operating cash flow and selected asset dispositions. We expect to fund future acquisitions from cash on hand, borrowings under the credit facility and operating cash flow. We have historically funded, and will continue to fund, expenditures for operations, administrative expenses, capital expenditures and debt service required by our credit facility and our senior subordinated notes from operating cash flow and borrowings under our credit facility. We believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings under the credit facility will be sufficient to permit us to meet our financial obligations, fund pending acquisitions and fund operations for at least the next twelve months.

Cash. Cash and cash equivalents was $5.5 million at September 30, 2003. Working capital was $26.9 million at September 30, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents was $26.3 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due primarily to the use of $33.5 million to repay borrowings under our credit facility, $8.7 million for the purchase of the assets of four radio stations in Jacksonville, Florida and $6.4 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $15.4 million of additional borrowings under our credit facility and cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $5.6 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in operating income, lower interest expense, an increase in deferred revenue related to two long–term tower leases, improved accounts receivable collections, and a decrease in other receivables due to a payment received under our interest rate swap agreement.

Net cash used in investing activities was $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $13.5 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase is due primarily to the proceeds of $45.0 million from the sale of the assets of WYGY-FM, Cincinnati, Ohio offset by $45.8 million cash used to purchase the assets of four radio stations in the first nine months of 2002, compared to $8.7 million cash used to purchase the assets of the Jacksonville, Florida radio stations in the first nine months of 2003, offset by a decrease in capital expenditures of $4.8 million in the 2003 period as compared to the same nine month period of 2002.

Net cash used in financing activities was $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $36.1 million for the same period of the prior year. The difference is primarily due to increased repayments under our credit facility of $33.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in the prior year, partially offset by additional borrowings of $15.4 million under the credit facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $40.6 million for the same period in the prior year.

Credit Facility. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, HoldCo, is the borrower under our credit facility. The credit facility was amended and restated as of September 25, 2003 and includes a $75.0 million senior secured reducing revolving credit facility (“revolving credit facility”) as well as a $75.0 million term loan facility. The description of the credit facility as set forth below reflects the terms of the amendment and restatement. As of September 30, 2003 the borrowing capacity and aggregate commitments under the credit facility was $75.0 million under the revolving credit facility and $75.0 million under the term loan. The amount we can borrow, however, is subject to certain restrictions as described below. At September 30, 2003, $75.0 million was outstanding under the term loan portion of the credit facility. The revolving credit facility steps down in three 10% increments commencing June 30, 2007 and matures on March 25, 2009. The term loan facility matures on the earlier of March 25, 2010 or the date that is six months prior to the maturity of any subordinated indebtedness of Salem or HoldCo. The facilities require us to prepay borrowings under the facilities with excess cash flow and the net proceeds from the sale of assets, the issuance of equity interests and the issuance of subordinated notes. If we are required to make these prepayments, our borrowing capacity and the aggregate commitments under the facilities will be reduced, but such reduction shall not, in any event, reduce the borrowing capacity and aggregate commitments under the facilitates below $50.0 million.

Amounts outstanding under the facility bear interest at a rate based on, at HoldCo’s option, the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR, in each case plus a spread. For purposes of determining the interest rate under the revolving credit facility, the prime rate spread ranges from 0.25% to 1.75%, and the LIBOR spread ranges from 1.5% to 3.0%. For the term loan portion of the credit facility, the prime rate spread ranges from 1.25% to 1.75%, and the LIBOR spread ranges from 2.5% to 3.0%. In each case, the spread is based on the total leverage ratio on the date of determination. At September 30, 2003, the blended interest rate on amounts outstanding under the credit facility was 5.5%, which was reduced to 3.9375% on October 1, 2003. If an event of default occurs, the rate may increase by 2.0%.

The maximum amount that HoldCo may borrow under the credit facility is limited by a ratio of our consolidated existing total adjusted funded debt to pro forma twelve-month cash flow (the “Total Leverage Ratio”). The credit facility will allow us to adjust our total debt as used in such calculation by the lesser of (i) 50% of the aggregate purchase price of acquisitions of newly acquired non-religious formatted radio stations that we reformat to a religious talk, conservative talk or religious music format or (ii) $45.0 million, and the cash flow from such stations will not be considered in the calculation of the ratio during the period in which such acquisition gives rise to an adjustment to total debt. The Total Leverage Ratio allowed under the credit facility was 7.25 to 1 as of September 30, 2003. Thereafter, the maximum ratio will decline periodically until December 31, 2006, at which point it will remain at 5.5 to 1 through March 2009. The Total Leverage Ratio under the credit facility at September 30, 2003, on a pro forma basis, was 6.69 to 1, resulting in a borrowing availability of approximately $24.8 million.

The credit facility contains additional restrictive covenants customary for a credit facility of the size, type and purpose contemplated which, with specified exceptions, limits our ability to incur debt, have liens, enter into affiliate transactions, pay dividends, consolidate, merge or effect certain asset sales, make specified investments, acquisitions and loans and change the nature of our business. The credit facility also requires us to satisfy specified financial covenants, which covenants require us on a consolidated basis to maintain specified financial ratios and comply with certain financial tests, including ratios for maximum leverage as described above, minimum interest coverage (not less than 1.5 to 1 through June 29, 2005 increasing in increments to 2.5 to 1 after June 30, 2008), minimum debt service coverage (a static ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1), a maximum consolidated senior leverage ratio (a static ratio of 3.0 to 1 prior to the issuance of $50.0 million in New Subordinated Notes, after any such issuance the ratio shall not exceed 2.5 to 1), and minimum fixed charge coverage (a static ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1). We and all of our subsidiaries, except for HoldCo, are guarantors of borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by liens on all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and pledges of all of the capital stock of our subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2003, management believes we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the terms of the credit facility.

9½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. In September 1997, we issued $150.0 million principal amount of 9½% Notes. In July 1999, we repurchased $50.0 million in principal amount of those notes with a portion of the net proceeds of our initial public offering.

In January 2003, we redeemed the remaining $100.0 million in principal amount of the 9½% Notes from the proceeds of the issuance of $100.0 million principal amount of 7¾% Notes. As a result of this redemption, we incurred a non-cash charge in the first quarter of 2003 of approximately $1.7 million for the write-off of unamortized bond issue costs. This was in addition to the $4.8 million premium paid in connection with this redemption.

9% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011. In September 2001, HoldCo issued $150.0 million principal amount of 9% Notes. HoldCo used the net proceeds to repay approximately $145.5 million in borrowings under the credit facility. The indenture for the 9% Notes contains restrictive coventants that, among others, limit the incurrence of debt by HoldCo and its subsidiaries, the payment of dividends, the use of proceeds of specified asset sales and transactions with affiliates. HoldCo is required to pay $13.5 million per year in interest on the 9% Notes. We and all of our subsidiaries (other than HoldCo) are guarantors of the 9% Notes.

As of September 30, 2003, management believes we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the indenture for the 9% Notes.

7¾% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010. In December 2002, HoldCo issued $100.0 million principal amount of 7¾% Notes. HoldCo used the net proceeds to redeem the $100.0 million 9½% Notes on January 22, 2003. The indenture for the 7¾% Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among others, limit the incurrence of debt by HoldCo and its subsidiaries, the payment of dividends, the use of proceeds of specified asset sales and transactions with affiliates. HoldCo is required to pay $7.8 million per year in interest on the 7¾% Notes. We and all of our subsidiaries (other than HoldCo) are guarantors of the 7¾% Notes.

As of September 30, 2003, management believes we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the indenture for the 7¾% Notes.

At September 30, 2003, an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $66.0 million was outstanding. This agreement relates to our $150.0 million 9% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (“9% Notes”). This agreement expires in 2011 when the 9% Notes mature, and effectively swaps the 9% fixed interest rate on $66.0 million of the 9% Notes for a floating rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 3.09%. The estimated fair value of this swap agreement and the excess of fair value over the book value of the debt hedged by the swap, based on current market rates, were each $6.4 million at September 30, 2003. Changes in the fair value of the swap and the changes in the fair value of debt being hedged are recorded as part of interest expense. The fair value of the swap agreement is included with long-term assets, and the fair value of the debt hedged by the swap is recorded in long-term debt consistent with the maturity date of the swap. Because this fair value hedge is effective (that is, the change in the fair value of the hedge instrument is designed to be equal to the change in the fair value of the item being hedged), there was no income statement effect relative to the change in the fair value of the swap agreement. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was reduced by $2.3 million as a result of the difference between the 9.0% fixed interest rate on our debt and the floating interest rate under the swap agreement, which was 4.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and is 4.21% for the six month period ended December 31, 2003.

At September 30, 2003 and 2002, Salem did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, Salem is not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if Salem had engaged in such relationships.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

At September 30, 2003, an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $66.0 million was outstanding. The interest rate swap agreement is used to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability that may result due to changes in interest rates. This agreement expires in 2011 when the 9% Notes mature, and effectively swaps the 9.0% fixed interest rate on $66.0 million of our debt for a floating rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 3.09%. The estimated fair value of this swap agreement and the change in fair value of the debt hedged by the swap, based on current market rates, were each $7.3 million at September 30, 2003. The fair value of the swap agreement is included with long-term assets, and the fair value of the debt hedged by the swap is recorded in long-term debt consistent with the maturity date of the swap. Changes in the fair value of the swap and the changes in the fair value of the debt being hedged are recorded as part of interest expense. Because this fair value hedge is effective (that is, the change in the fair value of the hedge instrument is designed to be equal to the change in the fair value of the item being hedged), there was no income statement effect relative to the change in the fair value of the swap agreement. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was reduced by $2.3 million as a result of the difference between the 9.0% fixed interest rate on our debt and the floating interest rate under the swap agreement, which was 4.47% for the six months ended September 30, 2003 and will be 4.21% for the six month period ended December 31, 2003. The counter party to this interest rate swap agreement is a major financial institution. Although we are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter party, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counter party nor would we expect any such loss to be material.

MARKET RISK

In addition to the interest rate swap agreements discussed above under “Derivative Instruments,” borrowings under the credit facility are subject to market risk exposure, specifically to changes in LIBOR and in the prime rate in the United States. At September 30, 2003, we had borrowed $75.0 million under the credit facility. As of September 30, 2003, we could borrow up to an additional $24.8 million under the credit facility. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bear interest at a base rate, at our option, of the banks prime rate or LIBOR, plus a spread. For purposes of determining the interest rate under the revolving credit facility, the prime rate spread ranges from 0.25% to 1.75%, and the LIBOR spread ranges from 1.5% to 3.0%. At September 30, 2003, the blended interest rate on amounts outstanding under the credit facility was 5.5%. At September 30, 2003, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the prime rate would result in additional interest expense of $0.8 million on an annualized basis.

In addition to the variable rate debt disclosed above, we have fixed rate debt with a carrying value of $250.0 million (relating to the 9% Notes and the 7¾% Notes) as of September 30, 2003, with an aggregate fair value of $263.8 million. We are exposed to changes in the fair value of these financial instruments based on changes in the market rate of interest on our debt. The ultimate value of these notes will be determined by actual market prices, as all of these notes are tradable. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the aggregate fair value of the 9% Notes and 7¾% Notes to approximately $249.8 million and a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in the increase of the fair value of the 9% Notes and 7¾% Notes to approximately $278.8 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s management, including the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the company’s periodic filings with the SEC.

There were no significant changes in the company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of the most recent evaluation. Since there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the company’s internal controls over financial reporting, the company did not take any corrective actions.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Incident to our business activities, we are party to a number of legal proceedings, lawsuits, arbitration and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Also, we maintain insurance which may provide coverage for such matters. Consequently, our management is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact with respect to these matters, however, our management believes, at this time, that the final resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

         A.       Reference is made to the Credit  Agreement,  dated as of September  25, 1997,  by and among Salem

         E.       The Second  Restated  Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by the Third Amended and

         G.       On the Fifth  Restatement  Date, the parties hereto desire to make certain  changes to the Fourth

Commitment,  the  Administrative  Agent, upon receipt of the amounts referred to in this clause (i) and clause (ii)

Agent most recently  designated  by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders,  provided  that  Swingline  Loans
shall be made as  provided in Section  2.8(a).  Subject to Section  5.2,  the  Administrative  Agent will make such

accordance with Section 2.4(a),  Section 2.8(c) or Section 2.9(e) and may, in reliance upon such  assumption,  make
available  to the Borrower a  corresponding  amount.  In such event,  if a Lender has not in fact made its share of
the  applicable  Borrowing  available to the  Administrative  Agent,  then the  applicable  Lender and the Borrower
severally  agree to pay to the  Administrative  Agent forthwith on demand such  corresponding  amount with interest
thereon,  for each day from and including  the date such amount is made  available to the Borrower to but excluding

Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative  Agent in accordance with banking  industry rules
on  interbank  compensation  or (ii) in the case of the  Borrower,  the  interest  rate  that  would  be  otherwise
applicable to such Borrowing.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative  Agent, then such amount shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(d)      Each Lender shall  maintain in accordance  with its usual  practice an account or accounts  evidencing the
debt of the  Borrower  to such  Lender  resulting  from each Loan made by such  Lender,  including  the  amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(e)      The  Administrative  Agent shall  maintain  accounts in which it shall  record (i) the amount of each Loan
made hereunder,  the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any,  applicable  thereto,  (ii) the amount

Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(f)      The entries made in the accounts  maintained  pursuant to paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section shall,  to
the extent not  inconsistent  with any entries  made in the Notes,  be prima facie  evidence of the  existence  and
amounts of the obligations  recorded therein,  provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative  Agent
to maintain such  accounts or any error  therein  shall not in any manner affect the  obligation of the Borrower to
repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

(g)      The  Borrower  shall  prepare,  execute and deliver to each  Lender,  a Note  payable to the order of such
Lender,  substantially  in the form of Exhibit  D-1. In addition,  if  requested by a Lender,  its Note may be made

thereon shall at all times  (including  after  assignment  pursuant to Section 10.4) be  represented by one or more
Notes in like form payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

Section 2.7       Prepayment of Loans

(a)      The Borrower  shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any  Borrowing  (other than
any  Swingline  Borrowing,  the  prepayment of which is governed  pursuant to Section  2.8(b)) in whole or in part,
subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b)      The Borrower shall prepay B Term Borrowings and C Term Borrowings and the Revolving  Commitments  shall be
permanently reduced at the times and in the amounts as set forth below:

(i)      Receipt of Net  Proceeds.  In the event and on each  occasion  that any Net Proceeds are received by or on
         behalf of the Parent or any  Restricted  Subsidiary in respect of any  Prepayment/Reduction  Event,  then,
         immediately  after such Net Proceeds are received,  the Borrower  shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount
         equal to such Net  Proceeds,  provided  that (x) if, after  applying all or a portion of such Net Proceeds
         to the  prepayment of the Term Loans,  the Term Loans have been paid in full,  the  Revolving  Commitments
         shall be  permanently  reduced by an amount equal to any  unapplied  portion  thereof and any Net Proceeds
         received  thereafter,  and (y) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, the Revolving  Commitments
         shall not be reduced below $50,000,000 as a result of this clause (i).

(ii)     Receipt  of Net Equity  Proceeds.  In the event and on each  occasion  that any Net  Equity  Proceeds  are
         received by or on behalf of the Parent,  then,  immediately  after such Net Equity  Proceeds are received,
         the  Borrower  shall prepay the Term Loans in an  aggregate  amount equal to (x) if no Default  shall then
         exist and the Senior  Leverage  Ratio  (calculated  without  giving  effect to the  phrase  “cash and cash
         equivalents  of the  Parent  and the  Restricted  Subsidiaries  on  such  date in  excess  of  $3,000,000”
         contained in clause (i) of the definition  “Senior Leverage Ratio”) is greater than 2.00:1.00,  the lesser
         of (1) 50% of the Net Equity Proceeds and (2) the amount of the Net Equity  Proceeds  which,  when applied
         to the  prepayment of the Loans,  will result in the Senior  Leverage  Ratio  (calculated  without  giving
         effect to the phrase “cash and cash  equivalents  of the Parent and the  Restricted  Subsidiaries  on such
         date in excess of  $3,000,000”  contained in clause (i) of the  definition  “Senior  Leverage  Ratio”) not
         exceeding  2.00:1.00  and (y) if a Default  shall then exist,  100% of the Net Equity  Proceeds,  provided
         that (A) if, after  applying all or a portion of such Net Equity  Proceeds to the  prepayment  of the Term
         Loans, the Term Loans have been paid in full, the Revolving  Commitments  shall be permanently  reduced by
         an amount equal to any unapplied  portion thereof and any Net Equity  Proceeds  received  thereafter,  and
         (B) so long as no Event of Default  shall  then  exist,  the  Revolving  Commitments  shall not be reduced
         below $50,000,000 as a result of this clause (ii).

(iii)    Excess  Cash  Flow.  On the last day of the first  fiscal  quarter of each year  (commencing  on March 31,
         2005),  the Borrower  shall  prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate  amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash
         Flow for the most  recently  completed  fiscal year of the Parent,  in the event that the Senior  Leverage
         Ratio as at the end of such  fiscal  year is greater  than or equal to  2.00:1.00,  provided  that (x) if,
         after  applying all or a portion of such Excess Cash Flow to the  prepayment  of the Term Loans,  the Term
         Loans have been paid in full, the Revolving  Commitments  shall be permanently  reduced by an amount equal
         to any unapplied  portion  thereof and (y) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist,  the Revolving
         Commitments shall not be reduced below $50,000,000 as a result of this clause (iii).

(iv)     Net Debt  Proceeds.  In the event any Net Debt  Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent or the
         Borrower  from the  issuance of the New  Subordinated  Indenture  Notes on or prior to December  31, 2004,
         then,  immediately  after such Net Debt  Proceeds  are  received,  the  Borrower  shall  prepay the B Term
         Borrowings  in an amount  equal to the least of (x)  $75,000,000,  (y) such Net Debt  Proceeds and (z) the
         outstanding principal balance of the B Term Loans on the date of prepayment.

(c)      Prepayments  of the Term Loans made  pursuant  to  Sections  2.7(a) and 2.7(b)  (i)-(iii)  above  shall be
applied ratably to the Term Loans based on the aggregate  outstanding  principal  balance of the B Term Loans and C
Term Loans.

(d)      In the event of any partial  reduction or termination of the Revolving  Commitments,  then (i) at or prior
to the date of such  reduction  or  termination,  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  notify  the  Borrower  and the
applicable  Lenders of the sum of the Revolving  Credit  Exposures after giving effect thereto and (ii) if such sum
would exceed the total  Revolving  Commitments  after giving  effect to such  reduction  or  termination,  then the
Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination,  prepay Revolving  Borrowings in an amount sufficient
to eliminate such excess.

(e)      The  Borrower  shall  notify  the  Administrative  Agent by  telephone  (confirmed  by  facsimile)  of any
prepayment  hereunder  (i) in the case of a prepayment  of a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  not later than 1:00 p.m.,  New
York City time,  three  Business  Days  before the date of  prepayment,  (ii) in the case of  prepayment  of an ABR
Borrowing,  not later than 1:00 p.m.,  New York City time,  one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii)
in the case of prepayment of an Swingline  Loan,  not later than 3:00 p.m.,  New York City time, on the date of the
prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment  date and the principal  amount
of each  Borrowing  or  portion  thereof  to be  prepaid,  provided  that,  if a notice of  prepayment  is given in
connection  with a conditional  notice of termination of the Revolving  Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.5,
then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of  termination is revoked in accordance  with Section
2.5.  Promptly  following  receipt of any such  notice  relating to a  Borrowing,  the  Administrative  Agent shall
advise the  applicable  Lenders or the Swingline  Lender,  as  applicable,  of the contents  thereof.  Each partial
prepayment of any Borrowing  under Section  2.7(a),  when added to the amount of each  concurrent  reduction of the
Revolving  Commitments and prepayment of Borrowings under such Sections,  shall be in the case of the prepayment of
(x) a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  an integral  multiple of $250,000 and not less than $2,000,000,  (y) an ABR Borrowing
(other than a Swingline Loan), an integral  multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000,  and (z) a Swingline
Loan,  an  integral  multiple of $50,000  and not less than  $100,000.  Each  prepayment  of a  Borrowing  shall be
applied  ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid  Borrowing.  Each  prepayment of B Term Loans or C Term Loans
shall be  applied  to the  remaining  installments  of  principal  required  under  Section  2.6(b) or  2.6(c),  as
applicable in the inverse order of maturity.  Prepayments  shall be accompanied  by accrued  interest to the extent
required by Section 3.1.

Section 2.8       Swingline Loans

(a)      Subject to the terms and  conditions  set forth  herein,  the Swingline  Lender  agrees to make  Swingline
Loans to the  Borrower  in  dollars  from  time to time on any  Business  Day  during  the  period  from the  Fifth
Restatement  Effective  Date to the fifth  Business Day  preceding  the last day of the  Availability  Period in an
aggregate  outstanding  principal amount at any time that will not result in the Swingline  Exposure  exceeding the
Swingline  Commitment  or  the  sum  of  the  total  Revolving  Credit  Exposures  exceeding  the  total  Revolving
Commitments,  provided  that the Swingline  Lender shall not be obligated to make a Swingline  Loan to refinance an
outstanding  Swingline Loan.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a
Swingline Loan if (i) any applicable  Lender shall be in default of its obligations  under this Credit Agreement or
(ii) any Credit Party shall have  notified the  Swingline  Lender and the Borrower in writing at least one Business
Day prior to the date of Borrowing  with respect to such Swingline  Loan,  that the conditions set forth in Section
5.2 have not been satisfied and such conditions  remain  unsatisfied as of the requested time of the making of such
Swingline  Loan.  Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the maturity  thereof,  provided that in no event
shall such maturity be later than the fifth Business Day preceding the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b)      To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the  Administrative  Agent and the Swingline Lender
by telephone  (confirmed  by  facsimile)  no later than 3.00 p.m.,  New York City time,  on the day of the relevant
Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable  and shall specify (i) the aggregate  principal  amount to be
borrowed,  (ii) the  requested  date (which shall be a Business  Day) and (iii) the maturity  date of the requested
Swingline  Loan which shall be not later than seven  Business  Days after the making of such  Swingline  Loan.  The
Swingline Lender will make the requested amount available  promptly on that same day, to the  Administrative  Agent
(for the account of the  Borrower  as set forth in Section  2.4) who,  thereupon,  will  promptly  make such amount
available  to the  Borrower in like funds as provided  therein or, in the case of a Swingline  Loan made to finance
the  reimbursement  of an LC  Disbursement  as provided in Section  2.8(d) by remittance to the Issuing Bank.  Each
Swingline  Loan  shall be in an  aggregate  amount  that is an  integral  multiple  of  $50,000  and not less  than
$100,000.  The Borrower  shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any  Swingline  Borrowing
in whole or in part,  provided that the Borrower shall notify the Administrative  Agent and the Swingline Lender by
telephone  (confirmed  by  facsimile)  no later than 11:00  a.m.,  New York City time,  on the day of the  proposed
prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount to be prepaid,  which
shall be in an amount  that is an  integral  multiple  of  $50,000  and not less than  $100,000,  or the  remaining
outstanding  principal amount of the Swingline Loan being prepaid,  and (ii) the date of prepayment (which shall be
a Business Day). Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.1.

(c)      The Swingline  Lender may by written notice given to the  Administrative  Agent not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on any Business Day notify the  Administrative  Agent that the  Swingline  Lender is requesting
that the  applicable  Lenders  make an ABR  Revolving  Borrowing in an amount  equal to the  outstanding  principal
balance and accrued interest on the Swingline Loans, in which case (i) the  Administrative  Agent shall notify each
applicable  Lender of the details  thereof and of the amount of such  Lender’s  Loan to be made as part of such ABR
Revolving  Borrowing,  and (ii) each applicable Lender shall, whether or not any Default shall have occurred and be
continuing,  any  representation  or warranty shall be accurate,  any condition to the making of any loan hereunder
shall have been fulfilled,  or any other matter whatsoever,  make the Loan to be made by it under this paragraph by
wire transfer of immediately  available funds to the account of the Administrative  Agent most recently  designated
by it for such  purpose by notice to the  Lenders,  (A) on such  date,  in the event  that such  Lender  shall have
received  notice of such ABR  Revolving  Borrowing  prior to 12:00 noon,  New York City time, or (B) if such notice
has not been  received  by such  Lender  prior to such time on such date,  then not later than 1:00 p.m.,  New York
City time,  on (x) the Business Day that such Lender  receives  such  notice,  if such notice is received  prior to
12:00 noon,  New York City time, on the day of receipt or (y) the Business Day  immediately  following the day that
such Lender  receives such notice,  if such notice is not received  prior to such time on the day of receipt.  Such
Loans shall,  for all purposes  hereof,  be deemed to be an ABR Revolving  Borrowing  referred to in Section 2.1(a)
and made  pursuant  to  Section  2.3,  and the  Lenders  obligations  to make  such  Loans  shall be  absolute  and
unconditional.  The  Administrative  Agent will make such  Loans  available  to the  Swingline  Lender by  promptly
crediting or  otherwise  transferring  the amounts so  received,  in like funds,  to the  Swingline  Lender for the
purpose of repaying in full the Swingline Loans and all accrued interest thereon.

(d)      If the Borrower  fails to make any payment with  respect to a Swingline  Loan,  or if any such sum paid by
the  Borrower is required to be refunded to the  Borrower  for any reason,  the  Administrative  Agent shall notify
each  applicable  Lender of the  applicable  Swingline  Loan,  the  payment  then due from the  Borrower in respect
thereof and such Lender’s Applicable  Percentage thereof.  Each applicable Lender shall purchase a participation in
such Swingline Loan by paying to the  Administrative  Agent its Applicable  Percentage of the payment then due from
the  Borrower,  in the same  manner as  provided  in Section  2.4 with  respect to Loans made by such  Lender  (and
Section  2.4 shall  apply  (with any  necessary  changes  in points of detail) to the  payment  obligations  of the
applicable  Lenders),  by wire transfer of immediately  available funds to the account of the Administrative  Agent
most  recently  designated  by it for such  purpose by notice to the Lenders,  (A) on such date,  in the event that
such Lender shall have received  notice  thereof prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, or (B) if such notice has
not been  received by such  Lender  prior to such time on such date,  then not later than 1:00 p.m.,  New York City
time,  on (x) the Business Day that such Lender  receives  such notice,  if such notice is received  prior to 12:00
noon,  New York City time,  on the day of receipt or (y) the Business Day  immediately  following the day that such
Lender  receives  such  notice,  if such  notice  is not  received  prior to such time on the day of  receipt.  The
Administrative  Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline  Lender the amounts so received by it from the applicable
Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the  Administrative  Agent of any payment in respect of such Swingline Loan
from the Borrower,  the  Administrative  Agent shall  distribute  such payment to the  Swingline  Lender or, to the
extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Swingline  Lender,  then to such
Lenders and the  Swingline  Lender as their  interests  may appear.  Each Lender  acknowledges  and agrees that its
obligation  to acquire  participations  pursuant to this  paragraph in respect of  Swingline  Loans is absolute and
unconditional  and shall not be  affected by any  circumstance  whatsoever,  including  any  amendment,  renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the  occurrence  and  continuance  of a Default or reduction or termination of
the Revolving Commitments,  and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,  withholding or
reduction whatsoever.

Section 2.9       Letters of Credit

(a)      General.  Subject to the terms and conditions  set forth herein,  the Borrower may request the issuance of
Letters  of  Credit  denominated  in  dollars  for  its  own  account,  in a  form  reasonably  acceptable  to  the
Administrative  Agent and the  Issuing  Bank,  at any time and from time to time  during the period  from the Fifth
Restatement  Effective  Date to the eleventh  Business Day preceding the last day of the  Availability  Period.  In
the event of any  inconsistency  between  the terms  and  conditions  of this  Credit  Agreement  and the terms and
conditions  of any form of letter  of credit  application  or other  agreement  submitted  by the  Borrower  to, or
entered into by the Borrower with,  the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit,  the terms and conditions of
this Credit Agreement shall control.

(b)      Notice of  Issuance;  Amendment;  Renewal;  Extension;  Certain  Conditions.  To request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or the amendment,  renewal or extension of an outstanding  Letter of Credit),  the Borrower shall
hand  deliver or  facsimile  (or  transmit by  electronic  communication,  if  arrangements  for doing so have been
approved  by the Issuing  Bank) to the Issuing  Bank and the  Administrative  Agent (not later than three  Business
Days before the requested  date of issuance,  amendment,  renewal or  extension) a Credit  Request  requesting  the
issuance  of a Letter of Credit,  or  identifying  the Letter of Credit to be  amended,  renewed or  extended,  and
specifying  the date of issuance,  amendment,  renewal or extension  (which shall be a Business  Day),  the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire  (which shall comply with  paragraph (c) of this  Section),  the amount of
such Letter of Credit,  the name and address of the  beneficiary  thereof  and such other  information  as shall be
necessary  to prepare,  amend,  renew or extend such  Letter of Credit.  If  requested  by the  Issuing  Bank,  the
Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit  application on the Issuing Bank’s  standard form in connection  with
any request  for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit  shall be issued,  amended,  renewed or  extended  only if
(and,  upon  issuance,  amendment,  renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit,  the Borrower shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that),  after giving effect to such  issuance,  amendment,  renewal or extension,  (i) the LC
Exposure shall not exceed  $15,000,000  and (ii) the total  Revolving  Credit  Exposures shall not exceed the total
Revolving Commitments.

(c)      Expiration  Date.  Each Letter of Credit  shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier
of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the  issuance  of such  Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any
renewal or  extension  thereof,  one year after such renewal or  extension)  and (ii) the date that is ten Business
Days prior to the Revolving  Maturity Date,  provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof
for  additional  one year periods  (which shall in no event extend  beyond the date that is ten Business Days prior
to the Revolving Maturity Date).

(d)      Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an  amendment to a Letter of Credit  increasing
the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the applicable  Lenders,  the
Issuing Bank hereby  grants to each Lender  having a Revolving  Commitment,  and each such Lender  hereby  acquires
from the Issuing Bank, a  participation  in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s  Applicable  Percentage of
the aggregate  amount  available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In  consideration  and in furtherance of
the foregoing,  each such Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally  agrees to pay to the Administrative  Agent,
for the account of the Issuing  Bank,  such Lender’s  Applicable  Percentage  of each LC  Disbursement  made by the
Issuing Bank and not  reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph  (e) of this Section,  or
of any  reimbursement  payment  required  to be  refunded  to  the  Borrower  for  any  reason.  Each  such  Lender
acknowledges  and agrees that its  obligation to acquire  participations  pursuant to this  paragraph in respect of
Letters  of  Credit is  absolute  and  unconditional  and shall not be  affected  by any  circumstance  whatsoever,
including  any  amendment,  renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the  occurrence  and  continuance  of a
Default or  reduction  or  termination  of the  Revolving  Commitments,  and that each such  payment  shall be made
without any offset, abatement,  withholding or reduction whatsoever;  provided that no Lender shall be obligated to
make any payment to the  Administrative  Agent for any  wrongful  LC  Disbursement  made by the  Issuing  Bank as a
result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Issuing Bank.

(e)      Reimbursement.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit,  then
the Issuing Bank shall either (i) notify the Borrower to  reimburse  the Issuing Bank  therefor,  in which case the
Borrower shall  reimburse such LC  Disbursement  by paying to the  Administrative  Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement  and any accrued  interest  thereon not later than 1:00 p.m.,  New York City time, on (A) the Business
Day that the Borrower  receives such notice,  if such notice is received  prior to 12:00 noon,  New York City time,
or (B) the Business Day  immediately  following the day that the Borrower  receives such notice,  if such notice is
not received prior to such time,  provided that, if the LC Disbursement  is equal to or greater than $100,000,  the
Borrower may,  subject to the conditions of borrowing set forth herein,  request in accordance  with Section 2.3 or
Section 2.9 that such  payment be financed  with an ABR  Revolving  Borrowing in an  equivalent  amount and, to the
extent so  financed,  the  Borrower’s  obligation  to make such  payment  shall be  discharged  and replaced by the
resulting  ABR  Revolving  Borrowing,  or,  whether or not the Issuing Bank shall have first  notified the Borrower
pursuant to clause (i) above,  (ii) notify the  Administrative  Agent that the Issuing Bank is requesting  that the
applicable  Lenders make an ABR  Revolving  Borrowing in an amount  equal to such LC  Disbursement  and any accrued
interest  thereon,  in which case (A) the  Administrative  Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details
thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of such ABR  Revolving  Borrowing,  and (B) each
Lender shall,  whether or not any Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  any  representation  or warranty
shall be  accurate,  any  condition to the making of any Loan  hereunder  shall have been  fulfilled,  or any other
matter  whatsoever,  make the Loan to be made by it under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately  available
funds to the account of the Administrative  Agent most recently  designated by it for such purpose by notice to the
Lenders on (1) the Business Day that such Lender  receives such notice,  if such notice is received  prior to 12:00
noon,  New York City time,  on the day of receipt or (2) the Business Day  immediately  following the day that such
Lender  receives such notice,  if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt.  Such Loans
shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be an ABR Revolving  Borrowing  referred to in Section 2.1(a) and made
pursuant to Section 2.3, and the Lenders  obligations to make such Loans shall be absolute and  unconditional.  The
Administrative  Agent will make such Loans  available  to the  Issuing  Bank by  promptly  crediting  or  otherwise
transferring  the amounts so received,  in like funds,  to the Issuing Bank for the purpose of repaying in full the
LC Disbursement and all accrued interest thereon.

(f)      Obligations  Absolute.  The Borrower’s  obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph
(e) of this  Section  shall be  absolute,  unconditional  and  irrevocable,  and  shall be  performed  strictly  in
accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under any and all  circumstances  whatsoever and irrespective of
(i) any lack of  validity  or  enforceability  of any  Letter of Credit or this  Credit  Agreement,  or any term or
provision  therein or herein,  (ii) any draft or other  document  presented  under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged,  fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any  statement  therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect,
(iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against  presentation  of a draft or other document that
does not  comply  with the terms of such  Letter of Credit  or (iv) any  other  event or  circumstance  whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing,  that might,  but for the provisions of this Section,  constitute a
legal or equitable  discharge  of, or provide a right of setoff  against,  the  Borrower’s  obligations  hereunder.
Neither any Credit Party nor any of their  respective  Related  Parties shall have any liability or  responsibility
by reason of or in  connection  with the  issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to
make any payment thereunder  (irrespective of any of the circumstances  referred to in the preceding sentence),  or
any error,  omission,  interruption,  loss or delay in  transmission  or  delivery  of any  draft,  notice or other
communication  under or  relating  to any  Letter of Credit  (including  any  document  required  to make a drawing
thereunder),  any error in  interpretation  of technical  terms or any  consequence  arising from causes beyond the
control of the Issuing Bank;  provided  that the  foregoing  shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability  to the  Borrower to the extent of any direct  damages (as opposed to  consequential  damages,  claims in
respect of which are hereby  waived by the Borrower to the extent  permitted  by  applicable  law)  suffered by the
Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when  determining  whether drafts and other
documents  presented  under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto  expressly  agree
that,  in the  absence of gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct  on the part of the  Issuing  Bank (as  finally
determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction),  the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each
such  determination.  In furtherance  of the foregoing and without  limiting the  generality  thereof,  the parties
agree that,  with respect to documents  presented  which appear on their face to be in substantial  compliance with
the terms of a Letter of Credit,  the Issuing  Bank may, in its sole  discretion,  either  accept and make  payment
upon such documents without  responsibility for further  investigation,  regardless of any notice or information to
the  contrary,  or refuse to accept  and make  payment  upon such  documents  if such  documents  are not in strict
compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)      Disbursement  Procedures.  The Issuing Bank shall,  promptly  following its receipt  thereof,  examine all
documents  purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  The Issuing Bank shall  promptly
notify (which may include  telephonic notice,  promptly  confirmed by facsimile) the  Administrative  Agent and the
Borrower  of such  demand  for  payment  and  whether  the  Issuing  Bank has made or will make an LC  Disbursement
thereunder;  provided  that any failure to give or delay in giving such  notice  shall not relieve the  Borrower of
its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)      Interim  Interest.  If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC  Disbursement,  then,  unless the Borrower shall
reimburse such LC  Disbursement  in full on the date such LC  Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear  interest,  for each day from and  including the date such LC  Disbursement  is made to but excluding the date
that the Borrower  reimburses such LC  Disbursement,  at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;
provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC  Disbursement  when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section,  then Section 3.1(b) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of
the  Issuing  Bank,  except  that  interest  accrued on and after the date of payment  by any  Lender  pursuant  to
paragraph  (e) of this Section to reimburse  the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent
of such payment.

(i)      Cash  Collateral.  If any Event of Default  shall occur and be  continuing,  on the  Business Day that the
Borrower  receives notice from the  Administrative  Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated,  Lenders with LC Exposure  representing at least 51% of the total LC Exposure)  demanding the
deposit of cash  collateral  pursuant  to this  paragraph,  the  Borrower  shall  deposit  in an  account  with the
Administrative  Agent, in the name of the Administrative  Agent and for the benefit of the applicable  Lenders,  an
amount in cash equal to the LC  Exposure as of such date plus any accrued  and unpaid  interest  thereon;  provided
that the obligation to deposit such cash  collateral  shall become  effective  immediately,  and such deposit shall
become  immediately  due and payable,  without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default  described in clause (h) or (i) of Article 8. Such  deposit  shall be held by the  Administrative  Agent
as collateral for the payment and  performance of the  obligations of the Parent and the Borrower under this Credit
Agreement.  The Administrative  Agent shall have exclusive  dominion and control,  including the exclusive right of
withdrawal,  over such account.  Such deposit shall not bear interest,  nor shall the Administrative Agent be under
any obligation  whatsoever to invest the same,  provided  that, at the request of the Borrower,  such deposit shall
be  invested  by the  Administrative  Agent in direct  short term  obligations  of, or short term  obligations  the
principal of and interest on which are  unconditionally  guaranteed by, the United States of America,  in each case
maturing no later than the expiry date of the Letter of Credit  giving rise to the relevant LC  Exposure.  Interest
or  profits,  if any, on such  investments  shall  accumulate  in such  account.  Moneys in such  account  shall be
applied by the  Administrative  Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements  for which it has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied,  shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement  obligations
of the  Borrower  for the LC  Exposure  at such time or, if the  maturity  of the Loans has been  accelerated  (but
subject  to the  consent  of Lenders  with LC  Exposure  representing  at least 51% of the total LC  Exposure),  be
applied to satisfy other  obligations of the Parent and the Borrower under this Credit  Agreement.  If the Borrower
is  required  to  provide  an amount of cash  collateral  hereunder  as a result of the  occurrence  of an Event of
Default,  such amount (to the extent not applied as  aforesaid)  shall be returned  to the  Borrower  within  three
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Section 2.10      Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs

(a)      Each Loan Party  shall  make each  payment  required  to be made by it  hereunder  or under any other Loan
Document (whether of principal of Loans, LC  Disbursements,  interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections
3.5, 3.6, 3.7 or 10.3, or otherwise)  prior to 1:00 p.m.,  New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately
available  funds,  without  setoff or  counterclaim.  Any amounts  received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the  Administrative  Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next  succeeding  Business Day for
purposes of  calculating  interest  thereon.  All such payments  shall be made to the  Administrative  Agent at its
office at One Wall  Street,  New York,  New York,  or such other  office as to which the  Administrative  Agent may
notify the other parties hereto,  except  payments to be made to the Issuing Bank or Swingline  Lender as expressly
provided  herein and except that  payments  pursuant to Sections  3.5,  3.6, 3.7 and 10.3 shall be made directly to
the Persons entitled thereto.  The  Administrative  Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other  Person to the  appropriate  recipient  promptly  following  receipt  thereof.  If any payment
hereunder  shall be due on a day that is not a Business  Day,  the date for  payment  shall be extended to the next
succeeding  Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,  interest thereon shall be payable for
the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)      If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the  Administrative  Agent to pay fully
all  amounts of  principal  of Loans,  unreimbursed  LC  Disbursements,  interest,  fees and  commissions  then due
hereunder,  such funds shall be applied (i) first,  towards  payment of  interest,  fees and  commissions  then due
hereunder,  ratably  among the  parties  entitled  thereto in  accordance  with the amounts of  interest,  fees and
commissions  then due to such parties and (ii) second,  towards  payment of principal of Loans and  unreimbursed LC
Disbursements  then due hereunder,  ratably among the parties  entitled  thereto in accordance  with the amounts of
principal of Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)      If any Lender shall,  by exercising any right of setoff or  counterclaim  or otherwise,  obtain payment in
respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans or  participations  in LC  Disbursements or Swingline
Loans resulting in such Lender receiving  payment of a greater  proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and
participations  in LC Disbursements  or Swingline Loans and accrued  interest thereon than the proportion  received
by any other applicable  Lender,  then the applicable Lender receiving such greater  proportion shall purchase (for
cash at face value)  participations  in the Loans and  participations  in LC  Disbursements  or Swingline  Loans of
other  applicable  Lenders to the extent  necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
applicable  Lenders  ratably in  accordance  with the aggregate  amount of principal  of, and accrued  interest on,
their respective  Loans and  participations  in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans,  provided that (i) if any such
participations  are  purchased  and all or any  portion of the  payment  giving  rise  thereto is  recovered,  such
participations  shall be  rescinded  and the  purchase  price  restored  to the  extent of such  recovery,  without
interest,  and (ii) the  provisions  of this  paragraph  shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the
Borrower  pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit  Agreement or any payment obtained by
a Lender as consideration  for the assignment of or sale of a participation  in any of its Loans or  participations
in LC Disbursements  or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant,  other than to the Parent or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate  thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph  shall apply).  Each Loan Party consents to the
foregoing and agrees,  to the extent it may  effectively do so under  applicable  law, that any Lender  acquiring a
participation  pursuant to the  foregoing  arrangements  may exercise  against such Loan Party rights of setoff and
counterclaim  with  respect to such  participation  as fully as if such Lender were a direct  creditor of such Loan
Party in the amount of such participation.

(d)      Unless the  Administrative  Agent shall have received  notice from a Loan Party prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the  Administrative  Agent for the account of the applicable  Credit  Parties  hereunder that
such Loan Party  will not make such  payment,  the  Administrative  Agent may assume  that such Loan Party has made
such payment on such date in  accordance  herewith and may, in reliance  upon such  assumption,  distribute to such
Credit  Parties  the amount due. In such  event,  if such Loan Party has not in fact made such  payment,  then each
such  Credit  Party  severally  agrees to repay to the  Administrative  Agent  forthwith  on demand  the  amount so
distributed  to such Credit Party with  interest  thereon,  for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the  Administrative  Agent, at the greater of the Federal
Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative  Agent in accordance with banking  industry rules
on interbank compensation.

(e)      If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment  required to be made by it pursuant to Section  2.4(b),
2.8(c),  2.9(d) or 2.9(e)(ii),  then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion  (notwithstanding any contrary
provision  hereof),  apply any  amounts  thereafter  received by the  Administrative  Agent for the account of such
Credit  Party to  satisfy  such  Credit  Party’s  obligations  under  such  Sections  until  all  such  unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.

Article 3.
                                      INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 3.1       Interest

(a)      The  Loans  comprising  each ABR  Borrowing  shall  bear  interest  at the  Alternate  Base  Rate plus the
Applicable  Margin.  The Loans  comprising each Eurodollar  Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
for the Interest  Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the  Applicable  Margin.  Each Swingline Loan shall bear
interest at the Swingline Rate.

(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if any principal of or interest on any Loan, any reimbursement  obligation
in respect of any LC  Disbursement  or any fee or other amount  payable by the Borrower  hereunder is not paid when
due, whether at stated maturity,  upon  acceleration or otherwise,  such overdue amount shall bear interest,  after
as well as before  judgment,  at a rate per annum  equal to (i) in the case of overdue  principal  of any Loan,  2%
plus the rate otherwise  applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding  paragraph of this Section or (ii) in
the case of any  other  amount,  2% plus  the rate  applicable  to ABR  Revolving  Borrowings  as  provided  in the
preceding  paragraph  of this  Section.  In  addition,  notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  at all times  during  the
continuance  of (x) any Event of Default  under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article 8 or (y) any other Event of
Default after the  Administrative  Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders,  so notifies the Borrower,  then,
so long as such Event of Default is  continuing  (and,  in the case of clause (y) above,  after the  Administrative
Agent  shall  have so  notified  the  Borrower),  all  outstanding  principal  of each  Loan  and all  unreimbursed
reimbursement  obligations in respect of all LC Disbursements  shall,  without duplication of amounts payable under
the preceding sentence,  bear interest,  after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the
rate  otherwise  applicable  to such  Loan as  provided  in the  preceding  paragraph  of this  Section  or to such
unreimbursed reimbursement obligations in accordance with Section 2.9(h).

(c)      Accrued  interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each  Interest  Payment  Date for such Loan,
provided that (i) interest  accrued  pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand,  (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan,  accrued  interest on the principal  amount repaid or prepaid
shall be payable on the date of such  repayment  or  prepayment,  and (iii) in the event of any  conversion  of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current  Interest Period  therefor,  accrued interest on such Loan shall be
payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d)      All  interest  hereunder  shall be  computed  on the basis of a year of 360  days,  except  that  interest
computed by reference to the Alternate  Base Rate at times when the Alternate  Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate
shall be  computed  on the  basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap  year),  and in each  case  shall be
payable  for the  actual  number of days  elapsed  (including  the  first  day but  excluding  the last  day).  The
applicable  Alternate Base Rate,  Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative  Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.

Section 3.2       Interest Elections

(a)      Each Borrowing  (other than a Swingline  Loan)  initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Credit Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  shall have an initial  Interest Period as specified in
such Credit  Request.  Thereafter,  the  Borrower may elect to convert  such  Borrowing  to a different  Type or to
continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  may elect Interest Periods  therefor,  all as
provided in this  Section.  The Borrower  may elect  different  options  with respect to different  portions of the
affected  Borrowing,  in which case each such  portion  shall be allocated  ratably  among the  applicable  Lenders
holding the Loans  comprising  such  Borrowing,  and the Loans  comprising  each such portion shall be considered a
separate  Borrowing.  This  Section  shall  not  apply to  Swingline  Borrowings,  which  may not be  converted  or
continued.

(b)      To make an election  pursuant to this Section,  the Borrower shall deliver to the  Administrative  Agent a
signed  Interest  Election  Request in a form approved by the  Administrative  Agent (or notify the  Administrative
Agent by  telephone,  to be  promptly  confirmed  by  delivery  to the  Administrative  Agent of a signed  Interest
Election  Request) by the time that a Credit  Request  would be required  under  Section 2.3 if the  Borrower  were
requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

(c)      Each such  telephonic and written  Interest  Election  Request shall be irrevocable  and shall specify the
following information:

(i)      the  Borrowing  to which such  Interest  Election  Request  applies  and, if  different  options are being
         elected  with  respect to  different  portions  thereof,  the  portions  thereof to be  allocated  to each
         resulting  Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified  pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of
         this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)     the  effective  date of the election made pursuant to such  Interest  Election  Request,  which shall be a
         Business Day;

(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)     if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after
         giving  effect to such  election,  which  shall be a period  contemplated  by the  definition  of the term
         “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest  Election  Request  requests a Eurodollar  Borrowing but does not specify an Interest  Period,
then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)      Promptly  following receipt of an Interest Election Request,  the  Administrative  Agent shall advise each
applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)      If the  Borrower  fails to deliver a timely  Interest  Election  Request  prior to the end of the Interest
Period  applicable  thereto,  then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest
Period,  such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.  Notwithstanding  any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing  and the  Administrative  Agent,  at the request of the Required
Lenders,  so  notifies  the  Borrower,  then,  so long as an Event of Default  is  continuing,  (i) no  outstanding
Borrowing  may be  converted to or continued as a Eurodollar  Borrowing  and (ii) unless  repaid,  each  Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 3.3       Fees

(a)      The Borrower agrees to pay to the  Administrative  Agent for the account of each Lender having a Revolving
Commitment,  a commitment  fee,  which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the  Commitment  Fee Percentage on
the daily amount of the unused  Revolving  Commitment plus the Swingline  Exposure of such Lender during the period
from and  including  the date on which this Credit  Agreement  becomes  effective  pursuant to Section  10.6 to but
excluding the date on which such  Revolving  Commitment  terminates.  Accrued  commitment  fees shall be payable in
arrears on the last day of March,  June,  September  and  December of each year,  each date on which the  Revolving
Commitments are permanently  reduced and on the date on which the Revolving  Commitments  terminate,  commencing on
the first such date to occur after the date hereof.  All  commitment  fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed  (including  the first day but excluding the
last day).

(b)      The  Borrower  agrees to pay (i) to the  Administrative  Agent for the  account  of each  Lender  having a
Revolving  Commitment a  participation  fee with respect to its  participations  in Letters of Credit,  which shall
accrue at a rate per annum  equal to the  Applicable  Margin  on the  average  daily  amount  of such  Lender’s  LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof  attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)  during the period from and
including  the Fifth  Restatement  Effective  Date to but  excluding  the later of the date on which such  Lender’s
Revolving  Commitment  terminates  and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the
Issuing  Bank for its own  account a fronting  fee,  which shall  accrue at the rate or rates per annum  separately
agreed upon between the Borrower  and the Issuing  Bank on the average  daily amount of the LC Exposure  (excluding
any portion thereof  attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)  during the period from and including the Fifth
Restatement  Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving  Commitments and
the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure,  as well as the Issuing Bank’s  standard fees with respect to
the  issuance,  amendment,  renewal or  extension  of any Letter of Credit or  processing  of drawings  thereunder.
Accrued  participation  fees and  fronting  fees  shall be  payable  in  arrears  on the last day of  March,  June,
September  and December of each year,  commencing  on the first such date to occur after the date hereof;  provided
that all such fees shall be  payable on the date on which the  Revolving  Commitments  terminate  and any such fees
accruing after the date on which the Revolving  Commitments  terminate  shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees
payable to the  Issuing  Bank  pursuant  to this  paragraph  shall be payable  within  ten days after  demand.  All
participation  fees and  fronting  fees shall be  computed  on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual  number of days  elapsed  (including  the first day but  excluding  the last  day).  Notwithstanding
anything to the  contrary  herein,  if an Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing  and the  Administrative
Agent,  at the request of the Required  Lenders,  in the case of  participation  fees,  or the Issuing Bank, in the
case of  fronting  fees,  so notifies  the  Borrower,  then,  so long as such Event of Default is  continuing,  all
participation  fees and fronting fees shall be  calculated at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate  otherwise
applicable thereto and shall be payable on demand.

(c)      The Borrower  agrees to pay to each Credit Party,  for its own account,  fees and other amounts payable in
the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Credit Party.

(d)      All fees and other amounts  payable  hereunder  shall be paid on the dates due, in  immediately  available
funds. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 3.4       Alternate Rate of Interest

                  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)      the Administrative  Agent determines (which  determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
         adequate and reasonable  means do not exist for  ascertaining  the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
         applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b)      the  Administrative  Agent is advised by Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
         applicable,  for such  Interest  Period  will not  adequately  and  fairly  reflect  the cost of making or
         maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the  Administrative  Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile
as promptly as practicable  thereafter  and, until the  Administrative  Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders
that the  circumstances  giving  rise to such  notice no longer  exist,  (i) any  Interest  Election  Request  that
requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation  of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar  Borrowing shall be
ineffective,  and (ii) if any Credit Request  requests a Eurodollar  Borrowing,  such Borrowing shall be made as an
ABR Borrowing.

Section 3.5       Increased Costs; Illegality

(a)      If any Change in Law shall:

(i)      impose,  modify or deem applicable any reserve,  special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
         deposits  with or for the account of, or credit  extended  by, any Credit  Party  (except any such reserve
         requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii)     impose on any Credit  Party or the London  interbank  market any other  condition  affecting  this  Credit
         Agreement,  any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any  participation  therein or any Letter of
         Credit or participation therein.

and the  result  of any of the  foregoing  shall  be to  increase  the  cost to such  Credit  Party  of  making  or
maintaining  any Eurodollar Loan or the cost to such Credit Party of issuing,  participating  in or maintaining any
Letter of Credit  hereunder  or to  increase  the cost to such  Credit  Party or to  reduce  the  amount of any sum
received or  receivable by such Credit Party  hereunder  (whether of principal,  interest or  otherwise),  then the
Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such  additional  amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)      If any Credit Party  determines that any Change in Law regarding  capital  requirements  has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit  Party’s  capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s
holding  company,  if any, as a  consequence  of this  Credit  Agreement  or the Loans made,  the Letters of Credit
issued or the  participations  therein  held, by such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or
such Credit  Party’s  holding  company  could have  achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into  consideration
such Credit  Party’s  policies  and the  policies of such Credit  Party’s  holding  company with respect to capital
adequacy),  then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional  amount or amounts as
will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)      A certificate  of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts  necessary to compensate  such Credit
Party or its holding  company,  as  applicable,  as  specified in  paragraph  (a) or (b) of this  Section  shall be
delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive  absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)      Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand  compensation  pursuant to this  Section  shall
not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation.

(e)      Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Credit  Agreement,  if, after the Fifth Restatement Date, any
Change in Law shall make it unlawful  for any Lender to make or maintain any  Eurodollar  Loan or to give effect to
its  obligations  as  contemplated  hereby with respect to any  Eurodollar  Loan,  then,  by written  notice to the
Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i)      such  Lender  may  declare  that  Eurodollar   Loans  will  not  thereafter  (for  the  duration  of  such
         unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional  Interest  Periods) and ABR
         Loans will not thereafter  (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar  Loans,  whereupon any request
         for a  Eurodollar  Borrowing or to convert an ABR  Borrowing  to a  Eurodollar  Borrowing or to continue a
         Eurodollar Borrowing,  as applicable,  for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be
         deemed  a  request  for an ABR Loan  (or a  request  to  continue  an ABR  Loan as such for an  additional
         Interest  Period  or to  convert  a  Eurodollar  Loan  into  an ABR  Loan,  as  applicable),  unless  such
         declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii)     such Lender may require that all  outstanding  Eurodollar  Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans,  in
         which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be  automatically  converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective
         date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.

In the event any Lender shall  exercise its rights  under  clause (i) or (ii) of this  paragraph,  all payments and
prepayments  of principal  that would  otherwise  have been applied to repay the  Eurodollar  Loans that would have
been made by such Lender or the  converted  Eurodollar  Loans of such Lender shall  instead be applied to repay the
ABR Loans  made by such  Lender in lieu of,  or  resulting  from the  conversion  of,  such  Eurodollar  Loans,  as
applicable.  For purposes of this  paragraph,  a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each
Eurodollar  Loan made by such Lender,  if lawful,  on the last day of the Interest Period  currently  applicable to
such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

Section 3.6       Break Funding Payments

                  In the event of (a) the payment or  prepayment  (voluntary  or otherwise) of any principal of any
Eurodollar  Loan other than on the last day of an Interest  Period  applicable  thereto or any Swingline Loan other
than on the maturity  thereof  (other than a Swingline  Loan,  the Swingline Rate with respect to which is based on
the Alternate  Base Rate)  (including  as a result of an Event of Default),  (b) the  conversion of any  Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,  or (c) the failure to borrow,  convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar  Loan or Swingline Loan on the date  specified in any notice  delivered  pursuant
hereto  (regardless  of whether  such  notice  may be revoked  under  Section  2.7(e) and is revoked in  accordance
therewith),  then, in any such event,  the Borrower  shall  compensate  each Lender for the loss,  cost and expense
attributable  to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar  Loan,  such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be
deemed to include an amount  determined  by such  Lender to be the  excess,  if any,  of (i) the amount of interest
that would have accrued on the  principal  amount of such Loan had such event not  occurred,  at the Adjusted  LIBO
Rate that would have been  applicable  to such Loan,  for the period from the date of such event to the last day of
the then current  Interest  Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,  convert or continue,  for the
period  that would  have been the  Interest  Period for such  Loan),  over (ii) the amount of  interest  that would
accrue on such  principal  amount for such period at the  interest  rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid,
at the commencement of such period,  for dollar deposits of a comparable  amount and period from other banks in the
eurodollar  market.  A certificate  of any Lender  setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled
to receive  pursuant to this Section  shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be  conclusive  absent  manifest
error.  The  Borrower  shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such  certificate  within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

Section 3.7       Taxes

(a)      Any and all payments by or on account of any  obligation  of any Loan Party  hereunder and under any other
Loan  Document  shall be made free and clear of and without  deduction  for any  Indemnified  Taxes or Other Taxes,
provided  that,  if such Loan Party  shall be  required  to deduct any  Indemnified  Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments,  then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that,  after making all required  deductions
(including  deductions  applicable to additional  sums payable under this  Section),  the  applicable  Credit Party
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such  deductions  been made, (ii) such Loan Party
shall  make such  deductions  and  (iii)  such  Loan  Party  shall pay the full  amount  deducted  to the  relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)      In  addition,  the Loan  Parties  shall pay any Other  Taxes to the  relevant  Governmental  Authority  in
accordance with applicable law.

(c)      Each Loan Party shall  indemnify  each Credit Party,  within ten days after written demand  therefor,  for
the full  amount of any  Indemnified  Taxes or Other  Taxes  paid by such  Credit  Party on or with  respect to any
payment by or on account of any  obligation  of such Loan Party  under the Loan  Documents  (including  Indemnified
Taxes or Other  Taxes  imposed or  asserted on or  attributable  to amounts  payable  under this  Section)  and any
penalties,  interest  and  reasonable  expenses  arising  therefrom or with  respect  thereto,  whether or not such
Indemnified  Taxes or Other  Taxes were  correctly  or legally  imposed or asserted  by the  relevant  Governmental
Authority.  A  certificate  as to the amount of such  payment or  liability  delivered  to the Borrower by a Credit
Party,  or by the  Administrative  Agent on its own  behalf  or on behalf of a Credit  Party,  shall be  conclusive
absent manifest error.

(d)      As soon as  practicable  after any  payment  of  Indemnified  Taxes or Other  Taxes by the  Borrower  to a
Governmental  Authority,  the Borrower shall deliver to the  Administrative  Agent the original or a certified copy
of a receipt issued by such  Governmental  Authority  evidencing such payment,  a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)      Any Foreign  Lender that is entitled to an exemption  from or reduction of  withholding  tax under the law
of the  jurisdiction  in which the relevant Loan Party is located,  or any treaty to which such  jurisdiction  is a
party,  with  respect to  payments  under the Loan  Documents  shall  deliver to the  Borrower  (with a copy to the
Administrative  Agent),  at the time or times  prescribed by applicable  law, such properly  completed and executed
documentation  prescribed  by applicable  law or reasonably  requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

                  (f)      The Borrower  shall not be required to pay any  additional  amount to any Foreign Lender
under this Section 3.7 (i) with respect to any  Indemnified  Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis
of any incorrect  information  contained in the  information,  certificates  or statements of exemption such Lender
delivered  pursuant to Section  3.7(e),  (ii) if such Lender is not entitled to an  exemption  from or reduction of
withholding  tax on the date it  becomes  a Lender  or (iii) if such  Lender  shall  have  failed  to  satisfy  the
requirements  of  Section  3.7(e)  on or after  the date it  becomes a Lender;  provided  that if such  Lender  was
entitled to an exemption  from or reduction of  withholding  tax on the date it becomes a Lender and if such Lender
has satisfied the  requirements  of Section  3.7(e),  nothing in this Section  3.7(f) shall relieve the Borrower of
its  obligation  to pay any amounts  pursuant to this  Section 3.7 in the event that,  as a result of any change in
any  applicable  law,  treaty or  governmental  rule,  regulation  or order,  or any change in the  interpretation,
administration or application  thereof,  such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms,  certificates
or other evidence at a subsequent date  establishing  the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding or is
subject to withholding at a reduced rate.


Section 3.8       Mitigation Obligations

                  If any Lender  requests  compensation  under  Section  3.5, or if the Borrower is required to pay
any  additional  amount to any Lender or any  Governmental  Authority  for the  account of any Lender  pursuant  to
Section 3.7, then such Lender shall use reasonable  efforts to designate a different  lending office for funding or
booking  its Loans or  Letters  of Credit  (or any  participation  therein)  hereunder  or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices,  branches or Affiliates,  if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation  or assignment (i) would  eliminate or materially  reduce  amounts  payable  pursuant to Section 3.5 or
3.7,  as  applicable,  in the  future  and (ii)  would not  subject  such  Lender or any of its  Affiliates  to any
unreimbursed  cost or expense and would not otherwise be  disadvantageous  to such Lender or any of its Affiliates.
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

Article 4.
                                          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                  The Parent and the Borrower each represents and warrants to the Credit Parties that:

Section 4.1       Organization; Powers

                  Each Loan Party is duly  organized,  validly  existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction  of its  organization,  has all requisite  power and authority to own its property and to carry on its
business as now  conducted,  and is in good standing and  authorized to do business in each  jurisdiction  in which
the failure to be so authorized could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2       Authorization; Enforceability

                  The  Transactions  are within the corporate,  partnership or other analogous  powers of each Loan
Party to the extent it is a party thereto and have been duly  authorized by all  necessary  corporate,  partnership
or other  analogous  and, if  required,  equity  holder  action.  Each Loan  Document  has been duly  executed  and
delivered  by each Loan  Party to the extent it is a party  thereto  and  constitutes  a legal,  valid and  binding
obligation  thereof,  enforceable  in  accordance  with its terms,  subject to applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

Section 4.3       Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts

                  The Transactions  (i) do not require any consent or approval of,  registration or filing with, or
any other  action by, any  Governmental  Authority  except (x) such as have been  obtained  or made and are in full
force and effect,  (y) the filing of the  applicable  Loan  Documents  with the FCC and the Securities and Exchange
Commission in accordance with applicable  law, which filings are for  informational  purposes and do not affect the
validity or  enforceability  of the Loan Documents,  and (z) as expressly set forth in the Security  Agreement with
respect to the FCC,  (ii) will not violate any  applicable  law or  regulation  or the charter,  limited  liability
company  operating  agreement,  by laws or other  organizational  documents  of any Loan  Party or any order of any
Governmental  Authority,  (iii) will not violate or result in a default  under any  indenture,  agreement  or other
instrument  binding  upon the  Parent or any  Subsidiary,  or its  assets,  or give rise to a right  thereunder  to
require any payment to be made by the Parent or any  Subsidiary,  which  defaults  could  reasonably be expected to
result in a Material  Adverse  Effect or could result in any claim against the Agent or the Lenders,  and (iv) will
not result in the creation or  imposition  of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party  (other than Liens  permitted
by Section 7.2).

Section 4.4       Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change

(a)      The Parent has  heretofore  furnished  to the Credit  Parties  its (i) Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002 containing (x) the annual audited  consolidated  balance sheet of the Parent and the Subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2002,  together with the related  consolidated  statements of operations,  shareholders’  equity
and cash flows for the period then ended,  reported on by Ernst&Young, LLP,  independent public accountants,  and
(y) the  unaudited  consolidating  balance  sheets of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  2002,
together with the related consolidating  statements of operations,  and (ii) Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended
June 30, 2003  containing (x) the unaudited  consolidated  balance sheets of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries as of
June 30, 2003,  together with the related  consolidated  statements of operations for the period then ended and (y)
the unaudited  consolidating  balance sheets of the Parent and the Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003,  together with
the related  consolidating  statements of operations,  each certified by its chief financial officer. The foregoing
financial  statements  fairly present,  in all material  respects,  the  consolidated and  consolidating  financial
condition  and results in the  operations  of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries  as of the dates and for the periods
indicated  therein and have been prepared in conformity  with GAAP and are consistent with the books and records of
the Parent  (which  books and  records are correct and  complete),  subject to year end audit  adjustments  and the
absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

(b)      Except as reflected in such financial  statements or in the footnotes thereto,  neither the Parent nor any
of the  Subsidiaries  has (as of the respective  dates of such  financial  statements)  any material  obligation or
liability of any kind (whether  fixed,  accrued,  contingent,  unmatured or otherwise)  which,  in accordance  with
GAAP,  should have been shown on such financial  statements and was not. Since December 31, 2002, there has been no
material adverse change in the business,  assets,  operations,  prospects or condition,  financial or otherwise, of
the Borrower and the Borrower Subsidiaries,  taken as a whole or the Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries,  taken
as a whole.

Section 4.5       Properties

(a)      Each of the Parent and the Restricted  Subsidiaries  has good title to, or valid  leasehold  interests in,
all real and personal  property  which is material to the business of the Parent and the  Restricted  Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole,  except for minor  defects  in title  that do not  interfere  with its  ability  to  conduct  its
business as currently  conducted or to utilize such  properties  for their  intended  purposes and Liens  permitted
under Section 7.2.

(b)      Each of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries  owns,  or is  entitled  to use,  all  trademarks,  trade  names,
copyrights,  patents and other  intellectual  property  material to its business,  and the use thereof by Parent or
such  Subsidiary  does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person,  except for any such  infringements  that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)      Schedule 4.5 sets forth the address of each parcel of real  property  that had a purchase  price in excess
of $1,000,000  and is owned by a Loan Party on the Fifth  Restatement  Date and further (i) specifies  whether such
real property is subject to a Mortgage  executed and delivered prior to the Fifth  Restatement Date, (ii) specifies
the purchase  price (if greater than or equal to $1,000,000  but less than  $5,000,000) of each such parcel of real
property  that is not  subject to such a Mortgage  and was  acquired  after the Second  Restatement  Date and (iii)
specifies the aggregate purchase price of all parcels of real property referred to in clause (ii) above.

Section 4.6       Litigation and Environmental Matters

(a)      There are no actions,  suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental  Authority pending
against or, to the  knowledge of the Parent or the Borrower,  threatened  against or affecting the Parent or any of
the Subsidiaries (i) that could reasonably be expected,  individually or in the aggregate,  to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions.

(b)      Except for the Disclosed  Matters and except with respect to any other matters  that,  individually  or in
the aggregate,  could not  reasonably be expected to result in a Material  Adverse  Effect,  neither the Parent nor
any of the  Subsidiaries  (i) have failed to comply  with any  Environmental  Law or to obtain,  maintain or comply
with any permit,  license or other approval required under any  Environmental  Law, (ii) have become subject to any
Environmental  Liability,  (iii) have received notice of any claim with respect to any  Environmental  Liability or
(iv) know of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

(c)      Since the Fifth  Restatement  Date, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed  Matters that,
individually or in the aggregate,  has resulted in, or materially  increased the likelihood of, a Material  Adverse
Effect.

Section 4.7       Compliance with Laws and Agreements

                  Each of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries is in compliance  with all laws,  regulations and orders
of any  Governmental  Authority  applicable  to it or  its  property  and  all  indentures,  agreements  and  other
instruments  binding upon it or its property,  except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not  reasonably  be  expected  to result in a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  No  Default  has  occurred  and is
continuing.

Section 4.8       Investment and Holding Company Status

                  Neither the Parent nor any of the  Subsidiaries is (i) an “investment  company” as defined in, or
subject to  regulation  under,  the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 or (ii) a “holding  company” as defined in, or
subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

Section 4.9       Taxes

                  Except as set forth on Schedule  4.9,  each of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries  has timely filed
or caused to be filed all Tax  returns  and  reports  required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid
all  Taxes  required  to have  been  paid by it,  except  (i)  Taxes  that are  being  contested  in good  faith by
appropriate  proceedings  and for which the Parent or such  Subsidiary,  as applicable,  has set aside on its books
adequate  reserves or (ii) to the extent that the failure to do so could not  reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10      ERISA

                  No ERISA Event has occurred or is  reasonably  expected to occur that,  when taken  together with
all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably  expected to occur,  could  reasonably be expected to
result in a Material  Adverse Effect.  The present value of all  accumulated  benefit  obligations  under each Plan
(based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 87) did not, as of
the date of the most recent  financial  statements  reflecting  such  amounts,  exceed the fair market value of the
assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated  benefit  obligations of all underfunded Plans (based
on the  assumptions  used for purposes of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 87) did not, as of the
date of the most recent financial  statements  reflecting such amounts,  exceed the fair market value of the assets
of all such underfunded Plans by more than $1,000,000.

Section 4.11      Disclosure

                  None of the reports,  financial statements,  certificates or other information furnished by or on
behalf  of the  Parent or any  Subsidiary  to any  Credit  Party in  connection  with the  negotiation  of the Loan
Documents or delivered  thereunder (as modified or  supplemented  by other  information so furnished)  contains any
material  misstatement  of fact or omits to state any material fact  necessary to make the statements  therein,  in
the light of the  circumstances  under  which  they were made,  not  misleading,  provided  that,  with  respect to
projected  financial  information,  each of the Parent and the Borrower  represents only that such  information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

Section 4.12      Subsidiaries

(a)      On the Fifth  Restatement  Date, the Parent has no direct or indirect  Subsidiaries or investments  (other
than  Permitted  Investments)  in, or joint  ventures or  partnerships  with,  any Person,  except as  disclosed in
Schedule  4.12.  Such Schedule sets forth the  ownership  interest of the Parent and each  Subsidiary in each other
Subsidiary and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary  Guarantor on the Fifth  Restatement  Date.  Neither
the  Parent  nor any  Restricted  Subsidiary  has  issued  any  Disqualified  Equity  Interests  and  there  are no
outstanding  options or warrants to purchase  Equity  Interests of any Restricted  Subsidiary of any class or kind,
and there are no agreements,  voting trusts or  understandings  with respect thereto or affecting in any manner the
sale, pledge,  assignment or other disposition thereof,  including any right of first refusal, option,  redemption,
call or other rights with respect thereto, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing.

(b)      As of the Fifth Restatement Date, the Parent has no Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Section 4.13      Labor Matters

                  Except for the Disclosed  Matters,  (i) there are no strikes,  lockouts or slowdowns  against the
Parent or any  Subsidiary  pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent of the Borrower,  threatened,  (ii) the hours
worked by and  payments  made to  employees  of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries  have not been in violation of the
Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable  Federal,  state,  local or foreign law dealing with such matters,
except where any such  violations,  individually  and in the aggregate,  could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material  Adverse  Effect,  (iii) all payments due from the Parent or any  Subsidiary,  or for which any claim
may be made against the Parent or any  Subsidiary,  on account of wages and employee  health and welfare  insurance
and other  benefits,  have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Parent or such  Subsidiary,  the
failure to pay of which or accrue as a liability  could  reasonably  be  expected  to result in a Material  Adverse
Effect,  and (iv) the consummation of the  Transactions  will not give rise to any right of termination or right of
renegotiation  on the part of any union  under  any  collective  bargaining  agreement  to which the  Parent or any
Subsidiary is bound.

Section 4.14      Solvency

                  Immediately after the consummation of each  Transaction,  (i) the fair value of the assets of the
Parent and the Restricted  Subsidiaries,  taken as a whole, and the Borrower and the Borrower  Subsidiaries,  taken
as a whole, at a fair valuation,  will exceed their debts and liabilities,  subordinated,  contingent or otherwise,
(ii) the present fair  saleable  value of the property of the Parent and the  Restricted  Subsidiaries,  taken as a
whole,  and the  Borrower  and the Borrower  Subsidiaries,  taken as a whole,  will be greater than the amount that
will be required to pay the probable  liability of their debts and other liabilities,  subordinated,  contingent or
otherwise,  as such debts and other  liabilities  become absolute and matured,  (iii) each of the Loan Parties will
be able to pay its debts and  liabilities,  subordinated,  contingent or otherwise,  as such debts and  liabilities
become  absolute and  matured,  and (iv) each of the Loan Parties  will not have  unreasonably  small  capital with
which to conduct  the  business  in which it is engaged as such  business  is now  conducted  and is proposed to be
conducted following such date.

Section 4.15      Federal Reserve Regulations

(a)      Neither  the  Parent nor any of the  Subsidiaries  is engaged  principally,  or as one of their  important
activities,  in the business of extending  credit for the purpose of buying or carrying  Margin Stock.  Immediately
before and after giving  effect to the making of each Loan and the issuance of each Letter of Credit,  Margin Stock
owned by the Parent or any Subsidiary  will  constitute  less than 25% (or such greater or lesser  percentage as is
provided in the exclusions from the definition of “Indirectly  Secured”  contained in Regulation U in effect at the
time) of the value of the assets of (i) the  Borrower and (ii) the  Borrower  and the  Borrower  Subsidiaries  on a
consolidated basis, in each case as determined in accordance with Regulation U.

(b)      No  part of the  proceeds  of any  Loan  or any  Letter  of  Credit  will be  used,  whether  directly  or
indirectly,  and whether immediately,  incidentally or ultimately,  to purchase,  acquire or carry any Margin Stock
or for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is  inconsistent  with, the  provisions of the  regulations
of the FR Board, including Regulation T, U or X.

Section 4.16      Broadcasting Business

(a)      Each of the Loan Parties is the  registered  licensee of all FCC Licenses  necessary  for the operation of
all  Broadcasting  Stations  owned and  operated by such Loan Party  substantially  in the manner  presently  being
conducted by it. Such FCC Licenses  constitute  all of the  authorizations  by the FCC  necessary for the operation
of the  business of each Loan Party  substantially  in the manner  presently  being  conducted  by it, and such FCC
Licenses are validly issued and, except with respect to any Discontinued  Broadcasting  Station,  in full force and
effect,  unimpaired  in any  material  respect  by any act or  omission  by such  Loan  Party.  To the  best of the
Parent’s and the Borrower’s knowledge,  except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary
is a party to any  investigation,  notice of violation,  order or complaint issued by or before the FCC which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material  Adverse Effect.  Except for (i) such  proceedings  that affect the radio
broadcasting  industry  generally,  (ii) as set forth in Schedule 4.16, and (iii) with respect to any  Discontinued
Broadcasting  Station,  there are no  proceedings  by or before  the FCC which  could  reasonably  be  expected  to
materially  threaten  or  adversely  affect the  validity of any of such FCC  Licenses.  Neither the Parent nor any
Subsidiary  has knowledge of a threat of any  investigation,  notice of violation,  order,  complaint or proceeding
before the FCC which could  reasonably be expected to have a Material  Adverse  Effect or has any reason to believe
that any of such FCC Licenses will not be renewed in the ordinary course.

(b)      Each of Parent and the  Subsidiaries  (i) has duly and timely  filed all filings  which are required to be
filed by it under the  Communications  Act and the rules and  regulations  of the FCC, the failure to file of which
could  reasonably be expected to have a Material  Adverse  Effect,  and (ii) is in all respects in compliance  with
the  Communications  Act,  including the rules and  regulations  of the FCC relating to the  transmission  of radio
signals, the failure to comply of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.17      Burdensome Obligations

                  Neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any franchise,  agreement,  deed,
lease or other  instrument,  or  subject  to any  corporate  or other  restriction  which,  in the  opinion  of its
management,  is so unusual or  burdensome,  in the context of its  business,  as in the  foreseeable  future  could
reasonably  be  expected  to have a Material  Adverse  Effect.  Neither  the Parent  nor any  Subsidiary  presently
anticipates that future expenditures needed to meet the provisions of federal or state statutes,  orders,  rules or
regulations will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.18      Senior Indebtedness

                  The  Indebtedness  under the Loan Documents  constitutes  “senior  indebtedness” or “senior debt”
under and as defined  in each of the 2001  Subordinated  Indenture,  the 2002  Subordinated  Indenture,  and,  when
issued the New Subordinated Indenture and any Refinancing Subordinated Indenture.

Section 4.19      Tax Shelter Regulations

                  Neither the Parent nor the Borrower  intends to treat any or all of the Loans  and/or  Letters of
Credit as being a “reportable  transaction”  (within the meaning of Treasury  Regulation Section 1.6011-4).  In the
event the Parent or the Borrower determines to take any action  inconsistent with such intention,  it will promptly
notify the  Administrative  Agent  thereof.  If the Parent or the  Borrower so notifies the  Administrative  Agent,
each of the  Parent  and the  Borrower  acknowledges  that one or more of the  Credit  Parties  may treat its Loans
and/or  Letters of Credit or  interests  therein as part of a  transaction  that is subject to Treasury  Regulation
Section  301.6112-1,  and such Credit Party or Credit  Parties,  as  applicable,  will maintain the lists and other
records required by such Treasury Regulation.

including Tax  liabilities,  that, if not paid or performed,  could  reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse  Effect  before the same shall  become  delinquent  or in default,  except where (i) the validity or amount
thereof is being  contested  in good faith by  appropriate  proceedings,  and that any such  contested  obligations
shall not  constitute,  or create,  a Lien on any property of any Loan Party not permitted  under Section 7.2, (ii)
the Parent or such  Subsidiary  has set aside on its books  adequate  reserves  with respect  thereto in accordance
with GAAP and (iii) the failure to make payment  pending such contest  could not  reasonably  be expected to result
in a Material  Adverse  Effect,  provided  that the Parent  shall give the  Administrative  Agent and shall give or
cause to be given to the Lenders prompt written notice of any such material contest.

Section 6.5       Maintenance of Properties

                  The Parent will,  and will cause each of the  Restricted  Subsidiaries  to, keep and maintain all

excepted.

Section 6.6       Books and Records; Inspection Rights

                  The Parent  will,  and will cause each of the  Subsidiaries  to, keep proper  books of record and
account in which  full,  true and correct  entries are made of all  dealings  and  transactions  in relation to its
business and activities.  The Parent will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries  to, permit any  representatives
designated by the  Administrative  Agent or any Lender,  upon  reasonable  prior  notice,  to visit and inspect its
properties,  to examine and make  extracts  from its books and records,  and to discuss its  affairs,  finances and
condition with its officers and independent  accountants,  all at such reasonable  times and as often as reasonably
requested.

Section 6.7       Compliance with Laws

                  The Parent  will,  and will cause  each of the  Subsidiaries  to,  comply  with all laws,  rules,
regulations and orders of any  Governmental  Authority  applicable to it or its property,  except where the failure
to do so,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  could not  reasonably  be expected to result in a Material  Adverse
Effect.

Section 6.8       Use of Proceeds

                  The  proceeds  of the Loans will be used only for general  corporate  purposes  not  inconsistent
with the terms  hereof.  The Letters of Credit will be used to support  ordinary  working  capital  purposes and to
fulfill  deposit  requirements  associated  with  proposed  acquisitions  permitted  by Section 7.4. No part of the
proceeds  of any  Loan or any  Letter  of  Credit  will be  used,  whether  directly  or  indirectly,  and  whether
immediately,  incidentally or ultimately,  to (x) purchase,  acquire or carry any Margin Stock, (y) for any purpose
that entails a violation of any of the  regulations  of the FR Board,  including  Regulations T, U and X, or (z) to
make a loan to any director or executive officer of the Parent or any Subsidiary.

Section 6.9       Information Regarding Collateral

                  The Parent or the Borrower  will furnish to the  Administrative  Agent prompt  written  notice of
any change in (i) the legal name or  jurisdiction of  incorporation  or formation of any Loan Party or in any trade
name used to identify it in the conduct of its business or in the  ownership of its  properties,  (ii) the location
of the  chief  executive  office  of any Loan  Party,  its  principal  place of  business,  any  office in which it
maintains  books or records  relating to Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf or, except as provided in
the  applicable  Security  Documents,  any office or  facility  at which  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its
behalf with an aggregate net book value in excess of $500,000 is located  (including the  establishment of any such
new  office or  facility),  (iii) the  identity  or  organizational  structure  of any Loan Party such that a filed
financing   statement  becomes  misleading  or  (iv)  the  Federal  Taxpayer   Identification   Number  or  company
organizational  number of any Loan  Party.  The  Parent and the  Borrower  agree not to effect or permit any change
referred to in the  preceding  sentence  unless all filings  have been made under the  Uniform  Commercial  Code or
otherwise that are required in order for the  Administrative  Agent to continue at all times  following such change
to have a valid,  legal and perfected  security  interest in all the Collateral.  The Borrower also agrees promptly
to notify the Administrative Agent if Collateral having a value in excess of $500,000 is damaged or destroyed.

Section 6.10      Insurance

(a)      The Parent will, and will cause each of the Restricted  Subsidiaries to, maintain,  with financially sound

against such risks,  including fire,  casualty,  public liability  (bodily injury and property  damage),  fidelity,
bonding and workers’  compensation with deductibles not exceeding $500,000 per occurrence,  and other risks insured
against by extended  coverage,  as is customary with companies in the same or similar  businesses  operating in the
same or similar  locations,  and which,  in the case of  property  insurance,  shall be in  amounts  sufficient  to
prevent any Loan Party from becoming a  co-insurer,  and (ii) such other  insurance as is required  pursuant to the
terms of any Security Document.

(b)      The Parent  will file or cause to be filed with the  Administrative  Agent  within ten days after  request
therefor a detailed list of such insurance then in effect,  stating the names of the carriers  thereof,  the policy
numbers,  the insureds  thereunder,  the amounts of insurance,  dates of expiration  thereof,  and the property and
risks covered  thereby,  together with a certificate  of an Financial  Officer of the Parent (or such other officer
of the Parent as is  acceptable  to the  Administrative  Agent)  certifying  that in the opinion of such  Financial
Officer (or such other  officer),  such insurance is adequate in nature and amount,  complies with the  obligations
of the Parent and the Restricted  Subsidiaries  under this Section 6.10 and the provisions of any Security Document
and is in full force and effect.

Section 6.11      Casualty and Condemnation

(a)      The Parent or the Borrower will furnish to the Credit  Parties  prompt  written  notice of any casualty or
other  insured  damage to any  portion of any  property  owned or held by or on behalf of itself or any  Restricted

received by the Parent or any of the  Restricted  Subsidiaries,  such Net Proceeds  shall,  upon the request of the
Administrative  Agent, be paid over to the  Administrative  Agent,  provided that (i) to the extent that the Parent
or any of the  Restricted  Subsidiaries  intends to use any such Net Proceeds to repair,  restore or acquire assets
as provided in the proviso of the definition of the term “Net Proceeds”,  the  Administrative  Agent shall,  unless
an Event of Default has  occurred  and is  continuing,  and subject to the terms and  conditions  of such  proviso,
deliver such Net Proceeds to the Borrower,  otherwise,  the  Administrative  Agent shall,  and the Borrower  hereby
authorizes  the  Administrative  Agent to, apply such Net Proceeds to prepay the Loans in  accordance  with Section
2.7(b)(i),  and (ii) all proceeds of business  interruption  insurance shall be paid over to the Borrower unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  such
proceeds will be applied to prepay the Loans in the manner  provided in Section  2.7(b)(i) or, if Required  Lenders
so elect,  deposited in a cash  collateral  account under control of the  Administrative  Agent and released to the
Borrower subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to the Required Lenders.

(c)      All  other  insurance  proceeds,  condemnation  awards  or  similar  payments  received  by or paid to the
Administrative  Agent shall be paid over to the Borrower,  on behalf of the relevant Loan Parties,  unless an Event
of Default has  occurred  and is  continuing,  and, if an Event of Default has  occurred  and is  continuing,  such
proceeds will be applied to prepay the Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.7(b)(i).

Section 6.12      Additional Subsidiaries

                  If any  Subsidiary  (other than a Subsidiary  that is a party to the Guarantee  Agreement and the

will notify the Credit  Parties in writing  thereof not later than the tenth  Business  Day after the date on which
such  Subsidiary  is formed or acquired  and (i) the Parent will cause such  Subsidiary,  if such  Subsidiary  is a
Restricted  Subsidiary,  to (a) execute and deliver each applicable Guarantee Document (or otherwise become a party
thereto in the manner  provided  therein)  and become a party to each  applicable  Security  Document in the manner
provided  therein,  in each case not later  than the tenth  Business  Day after the date on which  such  Restricted
Subsidiary  is formed or  acquired  and (b)  promptly  take  such  actions  to  create  and  perfect  Liens on such
Restricted  Subsidiary’s assets to secure the Obligations as the Administrative  Agent shall reasonably request and
(ii) if any Equity  Interests  issued by any such  Restricted  Subsidiary  are owned or held by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any Guarantor or any loans,  advances or other debt is owed or owing by any such Restricted  Subsidiary
to the  Borrower or any  Guarantor,  the Parent or the Borrower  will cause such Equity  Interests  and  promissory
notes and other  instruments  evidencing  such  loans,  advances  and other  debt,  to be pledged  pursuant  to the
Security  Documents  not later than the tenth  Business Day after the date on which such  Restricted  Subsidiary is
formed or acquired.

Section 6.13      Further Assurances; Certain Real Estate Matters

(a)      The Parent  will,  and will cause each Loan Party to,  execute  any and all further  documents,  financing
statements,  agreements  (including  guarantee  agreements and security  agreements) and instruments,  and take all
such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing  statements,  fixture filings,  Mortgages and
other  documents),  that may be  required  under  any  applicable  law,  or which the  Administrative  Agent or the
Required Lenders may reasonably  request,  to effectuate the transactions  contemplated by the Loan Documents or to
grant,  preserve,  protect or perfect  (including as a result of any change in applicable law) the Liens created or
intended to be created by the Security  Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien,  all at the expense
of the Borrower.  The Borrower also agrees to provide to the Administrative  Agent, from time to time upon request,
evidence  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Administrative  Agent as to the  perfection  and  priority of the Liens
created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

(b)      Each of the Parent and the  Borrower  hereby  covenants  and agrees  that,  if at any time on or after the
date hereof any asset or property  (other than real property)  acquired,  owned or held by or on behalf of any Loan
Party that  constitutes or would  constitute  Collateral is not subject to a perfected  Lien of the  Administrative
Agent  hereunder with the priority  required  hereby (except as a result of the  Administrative  Agent’s failure to
maintain  possession of any instrument,  stock  certificate or other similar document  delivered to it hereunder or
as a result of such asset or  property  being  used or  disposed  of in a manner  expressly  permitted  by any Loan
Document),  then the Borrower  shall,  at its own cost and expense,  promptly (i) notify the  Administrative  Agent
thereof and (ii)  execute  and  deliver or cause the  applicable  Loan Party to execute  and  deliver,  any and all
agreements,  instruments and other  documents,  and take all further action  (including the filing and recording of

Agent to cause such asset or property to become subject to a perfected Lien of the  Administrative  Agent hereunder
(including,  where  applicable,  perfection by  establishing  “sole dominion and control” within the meaning of the
common law and “control” within the meaning of the UCC), with the priority  required hereby.  In addition,  each of
the Parent and the Borrower hereby  covenants and agrees that each  Compliance  Certificate  delivered  pursuant to
Section  6.1(e)  of  this  Credit  Agreement  after  the  date  hereof  shall  contain  a  certification  that  the
representations  and warranties  contained in Section 3.1(a)(v) of the Security Agreement made by it and each other
Loan Party are true and correct as of the date of such certificate.

(c)      Promptly  upon the  acquisition  by any Loan Party of any real  property  having a  purchase  price of (i)
$5,000,000  or more or (ii)  $1,000,000 or more (but less than  $5,000,000)  if in the case of this clause (ii) the
aggregate  purchase price of all such real property  acquired by the Parent and the Restricted  Subsidiaries  on or
after the  Second  Restatement  Date in  respect  of which no  Mortgage  has been  executed  and  delivered  to the
Administrative  Agent on or before the Fifth Restatement  Effective Date shall exceed $15,000,000,  the Parent will
execute and deliver,  or cause the  applicable  Loan Party to execute and deliver,  a Mortgage with respect to such
real property in form and substance  satisfactory  to the  Administrative  Agent,  together with such UCC financing
statements,  surveys, title insurance policies,  environmental reports, opinions (including local counsel opinions)
and other documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in connection therewith.

(d)      If any  material  assets  (other  than real  property)  are  acquired  by any Loan  Party  after the Fifth
Restatement  Effective Date (other than assets  constituting  Collateral  under the Security  Documents that become
subject to the Lien of the  Security  Documents  upon  acquisition  thereof,  and other than  assets upon which the
Administrative  Agent has a first  perfected  Lien),  the Parent or the  Borrower  will  notify the Credit  Parties
thereof,  and, if requested by the Administrative  Agent or the Required Lenders,  the Parent and the Borrower will
cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien  securing the  Obligations  and will take,  and cause the  Subsidiaries
Guarantors  to take,  such actions as shall be necessary or  reasonably  requested by the  Administrative  Agent to
grant and perfect such Liens,  including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section,  all at the expense of
the Borrower and the Guarantors.

Section 6.14      Environmental Compliance

                  The Parent will,  and will cause each  Subsidiary  to, use and operate all of its  facilities and
property in compliance with all Environmental Laws, keep all necessary permits, approvals,  certificates,  licenses
and other  authorizations  relating to  environmental  matters in effect and remain in  compliance  therewith,  and
handle all Hazardous  Materials in compliance with all applicable  Environmental  Laws, except where  noncompliance

         Subordinated  Debt being refinanced with the proceeds thereof,  (E) the subordination  terms applicable to
         such Refinancing  Subordinated  Indenture Notes, taken as a whole, are at least as favorable to the Credit

Article 9.
                                             THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
                  Each  Credit  Party  hereby  irrevocably  appoints  the  Administrative  Agent as its  agent  and
authorizes  the  Administrative  Agent to take such  actions  on its  behalf  and to  exercise  such  powers as are
delegated  to the  Administrative  Agent by the  terms  hereof,  together  with  such  actions  and  powers  as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

                  The Person serving as the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its  capacity  as a  Lender  as any  other  Lender  and  may  exercise  the  same  as  though  it  were  not the
Administrative  Agent,  and such Person and its  Affiliates may accept  deposits from,  lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Parent or any Subsidiary or other  Affiliate  thereof as if it were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder.

                  The  Administrative  Agent shall not have any duties or  obligations  except those  expressly set
forth  herein  or in any  other  Loan  Document.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the  foregoing,  (i)  the
Administrative  Agent  shall not be subject to any  fiduciary  or other  implied  duties,  regardless  of whether a
Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  (ii)  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  not have any duty to take any
discretionary  action or exercise  any  discretionary  powers,  except  discretionary  rights and powers  expressly
contemplated  by the Loan  Documents  that the  Administrative  Agent is  required  to  exercise  in writing by the
Required  Lenders  (or such other  number or  percentage  of the Credit  Parties  as shall be  necessary  under the
circumstances  as provided in Section  10.2),  and (iii) except as expressly  set forth herein or in any other Loan
Document,  the  Administrative  Agent shall not have any duty to disclose,  and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose,  any information  relating to the Parent,  any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party that is communicated
to or  obtained  by the Person  serving as  Administrative  Agent or any of its  Affiliates  in any  capacity.  The
Administrative  Agent  shall not be liable  for any  action  taken or not  taken by it with the  consent  or at the
request of the Required  Lenders (or such other number or  percentage  of the Credit  Parties as shall be necessary
under the  circumstances  as provided in Section  10.2) or in the  absence of its own gross  negligence  or willful
misconduct.  The  Administrative  Agent  shall be deemed  not to have  knowledge  of any  Default  unless and until
written  notice  thereof is given to the  Administrative  Agent by the  Borrower or a Credit  Party (and,  promptly
after its receipt of any such notice,  it shall give each Credit Party and the Borrower  notice  thereof),  and the
Administrative  Agent  shall  not be  responsible  for or have  any  duty to  ascertain  or  inquire  into  (a) any
statement,  warranty or  representation  made in or in connection  with any Loan Document,  (b) the contents of any
certificate,  report or other document  delivered  thereunder or in connection  therewith,  (c) the  performance or
observance of any of the covenants,  agreements or other terms or conditions  set forth therein,  (d) the validity,
enforceability,  effectiveness or genuineness  thereof or any other agreement,  instrument or other document or (e)
the  satisfaction  of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere  herein,  other than to confirm  receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

                  The  Administrative  Agent shall be entitled to rely upon,  and shall not incur any liability for
relying  upon,  any notice,  request,  certificate,  consent,  statement,  instrument,  document  or other  writing
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The  Administrative  Agent also
may rely upon any statement  made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper  Person,
and shall not incur any  liability for relying  thereon.  The  Administrative  Agent may consult with legal counsel
(who may be counsel for any of the Loan Parties),  independent  accountants  and other experts  selected by it, and
shall not be liable  for any action  taken or not taken by it in  accordance  with the advice of any such  counsel,
accountants or experts.

                  The  Administrative  Agent may perform any and all its duties and  exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the  Administrative  Agent,  provided that no such delegation
shall  serve as a release  of the  Administrative  Agent or waiver by the  Parent  or the  Borrower  of any  rights
hereunder.  The  Administrative  Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all its duties and  exercise  its
rights  and  powers  through  their  respective  Related  Parties.  The  exculpatory  provisions  of the  preceding
paragraphs  shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the  Administrative  Agent and any such
sub agent,  and shall  apply to their  respective  activities  in  connection  with the  syndication  of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

                  Subject to the  appointment  and  acceptance of a successor  Administrative  Agent as provided in
this paragraph,  the Administrative  Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Credit Parties and the Borrower.
Upon any such  resignation,  the Required  Lenders shall have the right,  in  consultation  with the  Borrower,  to
appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required  Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring  Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,  then the
retiring  Administrative  Agent may,  on behalf of the Credit  Parties,  appoint a successor  Administrative  Agent
which shall be a bank or finance  company  with an office in New York,  New York,  or an Affiliate of any such bank
or finance company.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor,  such
successor  shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,  powers,  privileges  and duties of the retiring
Administrative  Agent,  and the retiring  Administrative  Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder.  The fees  payable  by the  Borrower  to a  successor  Administrative  Agent  shall be the same as those
payable  to  its  predecessor  unless  otherwise  agreed  between  the  Borrower  and  such  successor.  After  the
Administrative  Agent’s  resignation  hereunder,  the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring  Administrative  Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

                  Each  Credit  Party  acknowledges  that it has,  independently  and  without  reliance  upon  the
Administrative  Agent or any other  Credit  Party and based on such  documents  and  information  as it has  deemed
appropriate,  made its own credit  analysis  and  decision to enter into this Credit  Agreement.  Each Credit Party
also  acknowledges  that it will,  independently  and without reliance upon the  Administrative  Agent or any other
Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem  appropriate,  continue
to make its own  decisions  in taking or not taking  action  under or based  upon any Loan  Document,  any  related
agreement or any document furnished thereunder.

         Notwithstanding  anything in any Loan Document to the  contrary,  neither the  Syndication  Agents nor the
Documentation Agents, in their capacities as Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents,  respectively,  shall have
any duties or obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 10.2      Waivers; Amendments

(a)      No failure or delay by any Credit Party in  exercising  any right or power under any Loan  Document  shall
operate  as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall  any  single  or  partial  exercise  of any such  right or power,  or any
abandonment or  discontinuance  of steps to enforce such a right or power,  preclude any other or further  exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Credit  Parties under the Loan
Documents  are  cumulative  and are not  exclusive of any rights or remedies  that they would  otherwise  have.  No
waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party  therefrom  shall in any
event be effective  unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph  (b) of this  Section,  and then such waiver or
consent  shall be effective  only in the specific  instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without  limiting
the generality of the  foregoing,  the making of a Loan and/or the issuance,  amendment,  extension or renewal of a
Letter of Credit  shall not be construed  as a waiver of any  Default,  regardless  of whether any Credit Party may
have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)      Neither any Loan Document nor any provision  thereof may be waived,  amended or modified  except  pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing  entered into by the Parent,  the Borrower and the Required  Lenders or by
the Parent,  the Borrower and the Administrative  Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders,  provided that no
such agreement  shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender  without the written  consent of such Lender,  (ii)
reduce the principal  amount of any Loan or any  reimbursement  obligation  with respect to a LC  Disbursement,  or
reduce the rate of any interest  (other than under  Section  3.1(b)),  or reduce any fees,  payable  under the Loan
Documents,  without the written consent of each Credit Party affected  thereby,  (iii) postpone the date of payment
at stated  maturity of any Loan,  the date of any mandatory  reduction of the Revolving  Commitments  under Section
2.5(b) or any  amortization  payment  under  Section  2.6(b)  or (c) or the date of  payment  of any  reimbursement
obligation  with  respect to an LC  Disbursement,  any interest or any fees payable  under the Loan  Documents,  or
reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such  payment,  or postpone the stated  termination  or expiration of the
Revolving  Commitments  without  the  written  consent of each  Credit  Party  affected  thereby,  (iv)  change any
provision  hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments  required by Section 2.10(b) or the

to be made, or add additional  borrowers,  without the written  consent of each Lender,  (vi) release any Guarantor
from its Guarantee  under the Guarantee  Documents  (except as expressly  provided in the Security  Documents),  or
limit its  liability in respect of such  Guarantee,  without the written  consent of each Lender,  or (vii) release
all or any material  portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Loan Documents  (except as expressly  provided
in the Security  Agreement or in connection  with a transaction  permitted by Section  7.5),  or  subordinate  such
Liens in all or a material  portion of the  Collateral to the Liens of any other Person without the consent of each
Lender,  and provided that no such agreement  shall amend,  modify or otherwise  affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative  Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder  without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable.

Section 10.3      Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver

(a)      The  Borrower  shall  pay  (i)  all  out  of  pocket   reasonable  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by  the
Administrative  Agent and its Affiliates,  including the reasonable fees,  charges and disbursements of counsel for
the  Administrative  Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit  facilities  provided for herein,  the
preparation  and  administration  of  each  Loan  Document  or any  amendments,  modifications  or  waivers  of the
provisions  thereof (whether or not the transactions  contemplated  thereby shall be consummated),  (ii) all out of
pocket  reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection  with the  issuance,  amendment,
renewal or  extension  of any Letter of Credit or any demand  for  payment  thereunder  and (iii) all out of pocket
costs and expenses  incurred by any Credit Party,  including the reasonable fees,  charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Credit  Party and any  consultant  or expert  witness fees and  expenses,  in  connection  with the

Section,  or in  connection  with the  Loans  made or  Letters  of  Credit  issued  hereunder,  including  all such
reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses  incurred during any workout,  restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b)      The Borrower  shall  indemnify  each Credit Party and each Related  Party  thereof (each such Person being
called an  “Indemnitee”)  against,  and hold each Indemnitee  harmless from, any and all losses,  claims,  damages,
liabilities and related expenses,  including the reasonable fees,  charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee,  incurred by or asserted  against any Indemnitee  arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of
(i) the  execution  or delivery of any Loan  Document or any  agreement or  instrument  contemplated  thereby,  the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their  respective  obligations  thereunder or the  consummation
of the Transactions or any other transactions  contemplated  thereby,  (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
of the proceeds  thereof  including any refusal of the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit if the  documents  presented in  connection  with such demand do not strictly  comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit,  (iii) any actual or alleged  presence or release of Hazardous  Materials on or from any property
owned or  operated  by the  Parent or any  Subsidiary,  or any  Environmental  Liability  related in any way to the
Parent  or any  Subsidiary  or (iv) any  actual or  prospective  claim,  litigation,  investigation  or  proceeding
relating to any of the  foregoing,  whether based on contract,  tort or any other theory and  regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto,  provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any  Indemnitee,  be available to
the extent that such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c)      To the extent that the Borrower  fails to pay any amount  required to be paid by it to the  Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline  Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section,  each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the  Administrative  Agent or the Issuing Bank, as  applicable,  an amount equal to the product of
such  unpaid  amount  multiplied  by a  fraction,  the  numerator  of  which  is the  sum of such  Lender’s  unused
Commitments  (other than the Swingline  Commitment),  the  outstanding  principal  balance of such  Lender’s  Loans
(other than Swingline Loans),  such Lender’s  Swingline  Exposure and such Lender’s LC Exposure and the denominator
of which is the sum of the unused  Commitments  (other than the Swingline  Commitment),  the outstanding  principal
balance of all Lenders  Loans  (other  than  Swingline  Loans),  the  Swingline  Exposure of all Lenders and the LC
Exposure  of all  Lenders  (in each case  determined  as of the time that the  applicable  unreimbursed  expense or
indemnity  payment is sought or, in the event that no Lender shall have any unused  Commitments,  outstanding Loans
or LC Exposure  at such time,  as of the last time at which any Lender had any unused  Commitments  (other than the
Swingline  Commitment),  outstanding Loans or LC Exposure),  provided that the unreimbursed  expense or indemnified
loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or related  expense,  as  applicable,  was  incurred by or asserted  against the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in its capacity as such.

(d)      To the extent  permitted by applicable  law, the Borrower shall not assert,  and hereby waives,  any claim
against any Indemnitee,  on any theory of liability, for special,  indirect,  consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct and actual damages)  arising out of, in connection  with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or
any agreement,  instrument or other document  contemplated  thereby,  the Transactions or any Loan or any Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)      All amounts due under this  Section  shall be payable  promptly  but in no event later than ten days after
written demand therefor.

Section 10.4      Successors and Assigns

(a)      The  provisions  of the Loan  Documents  shall be binding  upon and inure to the  benefit  of the  parties
hereto and their  respective  successors  and assigns  permitted  hereby,  except  that  neither the Parent nor the
Borrower may assign or otherwise  transfer any of its rights or  obligations  hereunder  without the prior  written
consent of each Credit Party (and any attempted  assignment or transfer by the Parent or the Borrower  without such
consent  shall be null and void).  Nothing in the Loan  Documents,  expressed  or implied,  shall be  construed  to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,  their  respective  successors and assigns  permitted hereby
and,  to the  extent  expressly  contemplated  hereby,  the  Related  Parties  of each  Credit  Party) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document.
(b)      Any Lender may assign to one or more  assignees all or a portion of its rights and  obligations  under the
Loan  Documents  (including  all or a portion  of its  Revolving  Commitment  or  obligations  in respect of its LC
Exposure or Swingline  Exposure,  B Term Commitment  and/or C Term Commitment and the applicable  Loans at the time
owing to it),  provided  that (i) except in the case of an  assignment  to a Lender or an  Affiliate or an Approved
Fund of a Lender,  each of the Borrower and the  Administrative  Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all or
any portion of its Revolving  Commitment or  obligations in respect of its LC Exposure or Swingline  Exposure,  the
Issuing  Bank  and/or  the  Swingline  Lender,  as the case may be) must give its  prior  written  consent  to such
assignment  (which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed)),  (ii)  except  in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or an Approved  Fund of a Lender or an  assignment  of the entire  remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment,  B Term Commitment and/or C Term Commitment,  as applicable,
the amount of the Revolving  Commitment,  B Term  Commitment (or B Term Loans) and/or C Term  Commitment (or C Term
Loans),  as  applicable,  of the assigning  Lender subject to each such  assignment  (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Acceptance  with respect to such assignment is delivered to the  Administrative  Agent) shall not be
less than $5,000,000,  unless the Borrower and the Administrative  Agent otherwise consent (which consent shall not
be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed),  (iii) no  assignments  to the Parent or any of its  Affiliates  shall be
permitted  (and any  attempted  assignment  or  transfer to the Parent or any of its  Affiliates  shall be null and
void),  (iv) the parties to each  assignment  shall execute and deliver to the  Administrative  Agent an Assignment
and Acceptance  together with,  unless otherwise agreed by the  Administrative  Agent, a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500,  and (v) the assignee,  if it shall not be a Lender,  shall deliver to the  Administrative  Agent an
Administrative  Questionnaire,  and  provided  that any  consent  of the  Borrower  otherwise  required  under this
paragraph  shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is  continuing.  Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof  pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section,  from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and  Acceptance,  the assignee  thereunder  shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest  assigned by
such  Assignment and  Acceptance,  have the rights and  obligations of a Lender under the Loan  Documents,  and the
assigning Lender  thereunder  shall, to the extent of the interest  assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance,  be
released from its obligations  under the Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance  covering
all of the assigning  Lender’s  rights and obligations  under the Loan  Documents,  such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall  continue to be entitled to the  benefits of Sections  3.5,  3.6,  3.7 and 10.3).  Except as
otherwise  provided  under  clause (iii) of this  paragraph,  any  assignment  or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations  under the Loan  Documents  that does not comply with this  paragraph  shall be treated for purposes of
the Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of a  participation  in such rights and  obligations in accordance with
paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c)      The Administrative  Agent,  acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,  shall maintain a copy of
each  Assignment  and Acceptance  delivered to it and a register for the  recordation of the names and addresses of
the  Lenders,  and the  Commitments  of, and  principal  amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender  pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the  “Register”).  The entries in the Register  shall be conclusive  absent clearly
demonstrable  error,  and the  Borrower  and each Credit  Party 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  Credit  Agreement,
notwithstanding  notice to the contrary.  The Register  shall be available  for  inspection by the Borrower and any
Credit Party, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)      Upon its receipt of a duly  completed  Assignment and  Acceptance  executed by an assigning  Lender and an
assignee,  the assignee’s  completed  Administrative  Questionnaire  (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder),  the  processing  and  recordation  fee  referred to in  paragraph  (b) of this Section and any written
consent to such assignment  required by paragraph (b) of this Section,  the Administrative  Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Acceptance and record the  information  contained  therein in the Register.  No assignment  shall be
effective  for purposes of this Credit  Agreement  unless it has been  recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph.

(e)      Any Lender may,  without the consent of the Borrower or any Credit Party,  sell  participations  to one or
more banks or other entities  other than the Parent or any of its Affiliates  (each such bank or other entity being
called a  “Participant”)  in all or a portion of such  Lender’s  rights and  obligations  under the Loan  Documents
(including all or a portion of its  Commitments,  LC Exposure,  Swingline  Exposure and outstanding  Loans owing to
it),  provided  that (i) such Lender’s  obligations  under the Loan  Documents  shall remain  unchanged,  (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely  responsible to the other parties hereto for the  performance  of such  obligations  and
(iii) the Loan  Parties and the Credit  Parties  shall  continue to deal  solely and  directly  with such Lender in
connection  with such  Lender’s  rights and  obligations  under the Loan  Documents.  Any  agreement or  instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a  participation  shall  provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce the Loan  Documents and to approve any  amendment,  modification  or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Documents,  provided that such agreement or instrument  may provide that such Lender will not,  without the consent
of the  Participant,  agree to any  amendment,  modification  or waiver  described in the first  proviso to Section
10.2(b) that affects  such  Participant.  Subject to  paragraph  (f) of this  Section,  the Parent and the Borrower
agree that each  Participant  shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections  3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment  pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the
extent  permitted  by law,  each  Participant  also shall be entitled to the  benefits of Section 10.8 as though it
were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f)      A  Participant  shall not be entitled to receive any  greater  payment  under  Section 3.5 or 3.7 than the
Lender that sold the  participation  to such  Participant  would have been  entitled to receive with respect to the
interest  in the Loan  Documents  subject to the  participation  sold to such  Participant,  unless the sale of the
participation to such  Participant is made with the Borrower’s  prior written consent.  A Participant that would be
a Foreign  Lender if it were a Lender  shall not be entitled to the  benefits of Section 3.7 unless the Borrower is
notified  of the  participation  sold to such  Participant  and such  Participant  agrees,  for the  benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with Section 3.7(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g)      Any  Lender  may at any time  pledge or assign a  security  interest  in all or any  portion of its rights
under the Loan  Documents  to secure  obligations  of such Lender,  including  any pledge or  assignment  to secure
obligations  to a Federal  Reserve  Bank,  and this Section  shall not apply to any such pledge or  assignment of a
security  interest,  provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security  interest shall release a Lender from
any of its  obligations  under the Loan  Documents or substitute  any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto.

Section 10.5      Survival

                  All covenants,  agreements,  representations  and warranties  made by the Parent and the Borrower
herein and in the  certificates or other  instruments  prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Credit  Agreement or any other Loan  Document  shall be  considered  to have been relied upon by the other  parties
hereto and shall  survive  the  execution  and  delivery of any Loan  Document  and the making of any Loans and the
issuance of any Letter of Credit,  regardless  of any  investigation  made by any such other party or on its behalf
and  notwithstanding  that any  Credit  Party  may  have had  notice  or  knowledge  of any  Default  or  incorrect
representation  or  warranty  at the time any credit is extended  hereunder,  and shall  continue in full force and
effect as long as the  principal of or any accrued  interest on any Loan or any LC  Disbursement  or any fee or any
other amount  payable under the Loan  Documents is  outstanding  and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is  outstanding
and so long as the Commitments  have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 10.3,
10.9,  10.10 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect  regardless of the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated  hereby,  the  repayment  of the  Loans  and the LC  Disbursements,  the  expiration  or
termination  of the Letters of Credit and the  termination  of the  Commitments  or the  termination of this Credit
Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.6      Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness

                  This Credit  Agreement  may be executed  in  counterparts  (and by  different  parties  hereto on
different  counterparts),  each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute  but one  contract.  This Credit  Agreement  and any  separate  letter  agreements  with respect to fees
payable to any Credit Party or the  syndication  of the credit  facilities  established  hereunder  constitute  the
entire  contract  among the parties  relating to the  subject  matter  hereof and  supersede  any and all  previous
agreements  and  understandings,  oral or written,  relating to the subject  matter  hereof.  Except as provided in
Section 5.1, this Credit  Agreement shall become  effective when it shall have been executed by the  Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative  Agent shall have received  counterparts hereof which, when taken together,  bear
the  signatures of each of the other parties and  thereafter  shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties  hereto and their  respective  successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed  counterpart of this Credit
Agreement by facsimile  transmission  shall be effective  as delivery of a manually  executed  counterpart  of this
Credit Agreement.

Section 10.7      Severability

                  In the event any one or more of the  provisions  contained  in this  Credit  Agreement  should be
held invalid,  illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,  legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions  contained  herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired  thereby (it being  understood  that the
invalidity of a particular  provision in a particular  jurisdiction  shall not in and of itself affect the validity
of such  provision in any other  jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good faith  negotiations  to replace
the invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  provisions  with valid  provisions  the economic  effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.8      Right of Setoff

                  If an Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be  continuing,  each of the  Lenders and their
respective  Affiliates is hereby  authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent  permitted by
applicable  law,  to setoff and apply any and all  deposits  (general or special,  time or demand,  provisional  or
final) at any time held and other  obligations  at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the  account of the
Parent or the  Borrower  against any of and all the  obligations  of the Parent or the  Borrower  now or  hereafter
existing under this Credit  Agreement and the other Loan Documents  held by it,  irrespective  of whether or not it
shall have made any demand  therefor and although  such  obligations  may be  unmatured.  The rights of each of the
Lenders  and their  respective  Affiliates  under  this  Section  are in  addition  to other  rights  and  remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that it may have.

Section 10.9      Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(a)      This Credit  Agreement  shall be governed by, and construed in accordance  with,  the laws of the State of
New York.

(b)      Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby  irrevocably and  unconditionally  submits,  for itself and its
property,  to the  nonexclusive  jurisdiction  of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of
America  sitting in New York City, and any appellate  court from any thereof,  in any action or proceeding  arising
out of or relating to this Credit  Agreement or the other Loan Documents,  or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment,  and each of the parties  hereto  hereby  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  agrees  that,  to the extent
permitted by  applicable  law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding  may be heard and  determined
in such New York State court or, to the extent  permitted by  applicable  law, in such Federal  court.  Each of the
parties  hereto  agrees that a final  judgment  in any such action or  proceeding  shall be  conclusive  and may be
enforced in other  jurisdictions  by suit on the judgment or in any other manner  provided by law.  Nothing in this
Credit  Agreement  shall affect any right that the  Administrative  Agent or any other  Credit Party may  otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding  relating to this Credit  Agreement or the other Loan Documents  against the
Parent or the Borrower, or any of its property, in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)      Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and  unconditionally  waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and  effectively  do so, any objection  that it may now or hereafter  have to the laying of venue of
any suit,  action or proceeding  arising out of or relating to this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in
any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby  irrevocably  waives, to
the fullest extent  permitted by applicable  law, the defense of an  inconvenient  forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)      Each of the Parent and the  Borrower  irrevocably  consents  to service of process in the manner  provided
for notices in Section  10.1.  Nothing in this Credit  Agreement  will affect the right of any party to this Credit
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.10     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

                  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY  WAIVES,  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT  PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE  LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY  LITIGATION  DIRECTLY OR  INDIRECTLY  ARISING OUT OF,  UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS CREDIT  AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS  REPRESENTED,  EXPRESSLY  OR  OTHERWISE,  THAT SUCH OTHER
PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF  LITIGATION,  SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING  WAIVER AND (B)  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT IT
AND THE OTHER PARTIES  HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS CREDIT  AGREEMENT  AND THE OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENTS
TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 10.11     Headings

                  Article  and  Section  headings  and the Table of Contents  used  herein are for  convenience  of
reference only, are not part of this Credit  Agreement and shall not affect the  construction  of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Credit Agreement.

Section 10.12     Interest Rate Limitation

                  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary,  if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Loan or LC  Disbursement,  together  with all fees,  charges  and other  amounts  that are  treated as interest
thereon under  applicable law  (collectively  the  “charges”),  shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum
rate”) that may be contracted for, charged,  taken,  received or reserved by the Lender holding an interest in such
Loan or LC Disbursement  in accordance  with  applicable law, the rate of interest  payable in respect of such Loan
or LC  Disbursement  hereunder,  together with all of the charges payable in respect  thereof,  shall be limited to
the maximum  rate and, to the extent  lawful,  the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect
of such  Loan or LC  Disbursement  but were not  payable  as a result of the  operation  of this  Section  shall be
cumulated,  and the interest and the charges  payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or LC  Disbursements
or periods shall be increased  (but not above the maximum rate  therefor)  until such  cumulated  amount,  together
with interest  thereon at the Federal Funds  Effective  Rate to the date of repayment,  shall have been received by
such Lender.

Section 10.13     Treatment of Certain Information

                  Each Credit Party agrees to use reasonable  precautions to keep confidential,  in accordance with
its customary  procedures  for handling  confidential  information of the same nature,  all non-public  information
supplied by the Parent or any  Subsidiary  pursuant to this Credit  Agreement  which (i) is clearly  identified  by
such Person as being  confidential  at the time the same is delivered to such Credit Party or (ii)  constitutes any
financial statement,  financial projections or forecasts, budget, Compliance Certificate,  audit report, management
letter or  accountants’  certification  delivered  hereunder  (“Confidential  Information”),  provided that nothing
herein shall limit the disclosure of any  information  (a) to any of its respective  Related  Parties that needs to
know such  information and in each case who agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section,  (b) to the extent
required by applicable  laws or regulations  or by any subpoena or similar legal process,  or requested by any bank
regulatory or other  regulatory or  administrative  body or commission to whose  jurisdiction  such Credit Party is
subject,  (c) on a confidential  basis, to prospective  lenders or participants or their counsel,  in each case who
agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (d) to auditors,  accountants,  consultants and advisors,  and
any analogous  counterpart  thereof,  (e) to any other Credit Party, (f) in connection with any litigation to which
any one or more of the Credit Parties is a party  concerning  this Credit  Agreement,  any other Loan Document,  or
any  instrument  or document  executed or delivered in  connection  herewith or  therewith,  (g) to the extent such
information  (1)  becomes  publicly  available  other than as a result of a breach of this  Credit  Agreement,  (2)
becomes available to any of the Credit Parties on a  non-confidential  basis from a source other than the Parent or
any of its  Affiliates  or (3) was  available  to the  Credit  Parties  on a  non-confidential  basis  prior to its
disclosure  to any of them  by the  Parent  or any of its  Affiliates;  and (h) to the  extent  the  Parent  or the
Borrower  shall have  consented to such  disclosure in writing.  Notwithstanding  anything  herein to the contrary,
the information  subject to this Section shall not include,  and each Credit Party may disclose without  limitation
of any kind, any  information  with respect to the “tax  treatment” and “tax  structure” (in each case,  within the
meaning of Treasury  Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions  contemplated hereby and all materials of any
kind  (including  opinions or other tax analyses)  that are provided to the such Credit Party  relating to such tax
treatment  and tax  structure;  provided  that with  respect to any  document  or similar  item that in either case
contains  information  concerning  the tax  treatment  or tax  structure  of the  transactions  as  well  as  other
information,  this  sentence  shall only apply to such  portions of the document or similar item that relate to the
tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.14     Unrestricted Subsidiaries

(a)      Designation of  Unrestricted  Subsidiaries.  The Parent may at any time  designate any  Subsidiary  (other
than the  Borrower  or any  Borrower  Subsidiary)  formed  or  acquired  after  the  Fifth  Restatement  Date as an
Unrestricted  Subsidiary by  delivering to the  Administrative  Agent a certificate  of a Financial  Officer of the
Parent (and the  Administrative  Agent shall promptly forward a copy of such certificate to each Lender)  attaching
a copy of a resolution  of the Parent’s  board of directors  setting  forth such  designation  and stating that the
conditions set forth in this Section 10.14 have been satisfied with respect to such  designation,  provided that no
such designation  shall be effective unless at the time thereof and immediately  after giving effect thereto (i) no
Default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing,  (ii) no  Subsidiary  of the  Subsidiary  to be  designated as an
Unrestricted  Subsidiary is a Restricted  Subsidiary  and (iii) the Parent and the Borrower  shall be in compliance
with Section 7.4(n).

(b)      Revocation  of  Designation.  The Parent may revoke any  designation  of a Subsidiary  as an  Unrestricted
Subsidiary by delivering to the  Administrative  Agent a certificate of a Financial  Officer of the Parent (and the
Administrative  Agent shall  promptly  forward a copy of such  certificate  to each  Lender)  attaching a copy of a
resolution of the Parent’s  board of directors  setting forth such  revocation  and stating that the conditions set
forth in this Section 10.14 have been satisfied with respect to such  revocation,  provided that no such revocation
shall be effective  unless at the time thereof and  immediately  after giving  effect  thereto (i) no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing,  (ii) all Liens,  Indebtedness  and  Investments of such  Unrestricted  Subsidiary
outstanding  immediately  following  such  revocation  would,  if incurred at such time,  have been permitted to be
incurred  under this Credit  Agreement,  (iii) the  Administrative  Agent shall have  received a  certificate  of a
Financial Officer attaching a calculation (in reasonable  detail) of the covenants  contained in Sections 7.12 on a
pro forma basis giving effect to such  revocation and (iv) such  Unrestricted  Subsidiary  shall have complied with
the provisions of Sections 6.12 and 6.13.

(c)      Certain  Restrictions  Regarding  Loan  Parties.  Notwithstanding  anything  in any Loan  Document  to the
contrary,  no Loan Party shall at any time (i) provide  credit  support for,  subject any of its assets (other than
the  Equity  Interests  of such  Unrestricted  Subsidiary  owned by such  Loan  Party) to the  satisfaction  of, or
guarantee any  Indebtedness of any  Unrestricted  Subsidiary  (including any  undertaking,  agreement or instrument
evidencing such  Indebtedness),  (ii) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness or other obligations of
any  Unrestricted  Subsidiary or (iii) be directly or indirectly  liable for any  Indebtedness  which provides that
the  holder  thereof  may (upon  notice,  lapse of time or both)  declare a default  thereon  or cause the  payment
thereof to be  accelerated  or payable  prior to its  scheduled  maturity  upon the  occurrence  of a default  with
respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(a)      This Credit  Agreement is intended  solely as an amendment  of, and  contemporaneous  restatement  of, the
terms and conditions of the Fourth Restated  Agreement and this Credit  Agreement is not intended and should not be

to the extent  amended as  provided  herein,  shall  remain in full  force and  effect and  continue  to secure the

The Bank of New York, as Administrative Agent
and the other Credit Parties party to the Credit
Agreement referred to below
One Wall Street
New York, NY 10286

                  Re:  Salem Communications Corporation

Gentlemen and Mesdames:

I have  served  as legal  counsel  and  Secretary  to Salem  Communications  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation
(referred to herein as the “Parent”) since 1995. In addition,  I am the Secretary of Salem  Communications  Holding
Corporation,  a Subsidiary of the Parent (the “Borrower”) and each of the  Subsidiaries  (defined  hereinafter).  I
am admitted to practice in  California.  I render this  opinion on behalf of the Parent,  the  Borrower and each of
their  respective  subsidiaries  (the  “Subsidiaries”)  in connection  with the Fifth  Amended and Restated  Credit
Agreement,  dated as of September 25, 2003,  by and among the Parent,  the  Borrower,  the Lenders  party  thereto,
General Electric Capital Corporation and SunTrust Bank, as Syndication  Agents,  Fleet National Bank and ING (U.S.)
Capital  LLC,  as  Documentation  Agents,  and The  Bank  of New  York,  as  Administrative  Agent  (the  “Credit
 Agreement”).  This opinion  letter is delivered  to you pursuant to Section  5.1(c) of the Credit  Agreement at the
request of the Parent,  the Borrower and the Subsidiaries  (collectively,  the “Loan Parties”).  Capitalized  terms
used herein and which are not otherwise  defined herein shall have the respective  meanings ascribed thereto in the
Credit Agreement.

                                                         I

In my capacity with each Loan Party in connection with the Credit Agreement,  I have examined originals,  or copies
certified or otherwise  identified  to my  satisfaction,  of each of the Credit  Agreement,  the Notes,  each dated
September 25, 2003,  made by the Borrower for each Lender,  the Swingline  Note,  dated September 25, 2003, made by
the Borrower for the Swingline  Lender,  the Amended and Restated  Guarantee  Agreement,  dated as of September 25,
2003,  by and among  the  Parent,  the  Borrower,  the  Subsidiaries  party  thereto  and The Bank of New York,  as
Administrative  Agent,  and the Amended and Restated  Security  Agreement,  dated as of September  25, 2003, by and
among the Parent, the Borrower,  the Subsidiaries  party thereto and The Bank of New York, as Administrative  Agent
(collectively  referred  to herein as the “Fifth  Restatement  Transaction  Documents”)  and such other  documents,
corporate records,  partnership records,  limited liability company records,  certificates of such public officials
and other  instruments  as I have deemed  necessary  or  advisable  to enable me to render the  opinions  set forth
below.  In my  examination,  I have assumed the  genuineness of all  signatures  (other than those on behalf of the
Parent,  the Borrower  and the  Subsidiaries),  the legal  capacity of natural  persons,  the  authenticity  of all
documents  submitted to me as originals,  the conformity to original documents of all documents  submitted to me as
certified or photostatic  copies,  and the  authenticity of the originals of such copies.  As to any facts material
to these opinions,  I have relied upon the  representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained within the
Fifth  Restatement   Transaction   Documents  and  upon  statements  and  representations  of  officers  and  other
representations of each Loan Party and others, in each case without having  independently  verified the accuracy or
completeness thereof.

I have,  with your  permission,  assumed,  without  independent  investigation  or inquiry with respect to any such
matter,  that, (i) each party to a Fifth  Restatement  Transaction  Document  (other than the Loan Parties) has all
requisite power and authority to execute,  deliver and perform its obligations  thereunder,  (ii) the execution and
delivery by each party to a Fifth  Restatement  Transaction  Document  (other  than the Loan  Parties) of the Fifth
Restatement  Transaction  Documents  to  which  such  party  is a party  and  the  performance  of its  obligations
thereunder  have been duly  authorized  by all  necessary  action on such party’s  part and such Fifth  Restatement
Transaction  Documents have been duly delivered by it; and (iii) the Fifth  Restatement  Transaction  Documents are
the legal,  valid and binding  obligations  of each such party (other than the Loan  Parties) to the extent it is a
party thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with their terms.

The opinions set forth in paragraph  (2) with  respect to the good  standing and due  qualification  of the Parent,
the Borrower and the  Subsidiaries  are rendered solely in reliance upon the  certificates  from the Secretaries of
State of the  jurisdictions of incorporation  or organization  listed on Schedule I hereto,  and are rendered as of
the dates of each such certificate.

Except as expressly  stated otherwise  herein,  whenever my opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence
of facts is stated to be to my actual  knowledge or known by me, such  statement is intended to signify that during
the course of my representation  of the Parent and the  Subsidiaries,  no information has come to my attention that
would  give me  actual  knowledge  as of the date  hereof  that my  opinions  herein  relating  to such  facts  are
incorrect.  However,  I have not undertaken any independent  investigation to determine the existence or absence of
such facts,  and no inference as to my knowledge of the  existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from my
representation of the Parent and the Subsidiaries.

                                                        II

Based upon the foregoing,  and subject to the qualifications,  exceptions,  limitations and assumptions hereinafter
set forth, I am of the opinion that:

1.       The Parent has no direct or indirect  Subsidiaries  except as  disclosed  in  Schedule  4.12 to the Credit
Agreement.  Such  Schedule  sets forth the  ownership  interest  of the Parent  and each  Subsidiary  in each other
Subsidiary.  Except as set forth on Schedule  3.4 to the  Security  Agreement,  all Pledged  Equity  Interests  (as
defined in the Security  Agreement)  have been duly  authorized and validly issued and, to my knowledge,  are fully
paid and non-assessable,  and, to my knowledge,  are owned by the applicable Loan Party free and clear of all Liens
(other than Liens  expressly  permitted by the Loan  Documents).  No shares or interests of any class of the Equity
Interests of the Borrower or any Subsidiary are subject to any  restrictions  on transfer  pursuant to the charter,
limited liability company operating agreement,  by-laws or other  organizational  documents of the Borrower or such
Subsidiary.  No shares or interests of any class of the Equity  Interests  of the  Borrower or any  Subsidiary  are
subject to any voting agreements,  voting trusts, trust agreements,  trust deeds,  irrevocable proxies or any other
similar agreements or instruments, except for such as are contained in the Security Documents.

2.       Each of the Parent,  the Borrower and each  Subsidiary  is duly  organized,  validly  existing and in good
standing under the laws of the  jurisdiction  of its  incorporation  or  organization,  has all requisite power and
authority  to own  its  Property  and to  carry  on its  business  as now  conducted  and is in good  standing  and
authorized  to do business  in each  jurisdiction  in which the failure to be so  authorized  could  reasonably  be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.       Each of the  Parent,  the  Borrower  and each  Subsidiary  has full  power and  authority  to enter  into,
execute,  deliver and carry out the terms of the Fifth  Restatement  Transaction  Documents to which it is a party,
and to incur the  obligations  provided  for  therein,  all of which  have been duly  authorized  by all proper and
necessary  action  and  are  in  full  compliance  with  its  articles  of  incorporation   and  by-laws  or  other
organizational documents.

4.       The  execution  and  delivery  of the Fifth  Restatement  Transaction  Documents  by each Loan Party party
thereto do not, and the  performance by each Loan Party of such Fifth  Restatement  Transaction  Documents to which
it is a party will not, (i) require any consent or approval of,  registration  or filing with,  or any other action
by, any  Governmental  Authority  except (x) such as have been  obtained  or made and are in full force and effect,
(y) the filing of a copy of applicable  Loan Documents  with the FCC and the Securities and Exchange  Commission in
accordance  with  applicable  law, which filings are for  informational  purposes and do not affect the validity or
enforceability  of the Loan  Documents,  and (z) as expressly set forth in the Security  Agreement  with respect to
the FCC,  (ii) violate any  applicable  law or  regulation  or the charter,  limited  liability  company  operating
agreement,  by-laws  or other  organizational  documents  of the any Loan  Party or any  order of any  Governmental
Authority,  (iii) violate or result in a default under any indenture,  agreement or other  instrument  binding upon
the Parent or any Subsidiary,  or its assets,  or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made
by the Parent or any  Subsidiary,  which  defaults  could  reasonably  be expected to result in a Material  Adverse
Effect,  or (iv) result in the creation or  imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party (other than Liens
permitted by Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement).

5.       The Fifth Restatement  Transaction  Documents  constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the
Parent,  the Borrower and each Subsidiary to the extent that it is a party thereto,  enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms.

6.       To the best of my knowledge,  there are no actions,  suits or  proceedings  by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental  Authority  pending or threatened  against or affecting the Parent or any of the Subsidiaries (i) that
could  reasonably be expected,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  to result in a Material  Adverse Effect (other
than the  Disclosed  Matters) or (ii) which call into  question the validity or  enforceability  of any of the Loan
Documents or the Transactions.

7.       To the best of my  knowledge,  none of the Parent,  the  Borrower  or any  Subsidiary  is in default  with
respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction,  decree or decision of any Governmental Authority,  which default
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.       The  Security  Agreement  creates in favor of the  Administrative  Agent for the  benefit  of the  Secured
Parties (as defined in the Security  Agreement) a legal,  valid and binding security  interest in the right,  title
and  interest of the Loan  Parties  party to the  Security  Agreement  in those items and types of  Collateral  (as
defined in the Security  Agreement)  to the extent such  security  interests  may be created under Article 9 of the
Uniform  Commercial  Code as in  effect  in the  State  of New  York  (the  “UCC”).  Assuming  that  UCC  financing
statements  were filed in the  offices  listed on  Schedule  3.1(a)(v)  to the  Security  Agreement,  the  security
interests granted by the Loan Parties party to the Security Agreement to the  Administrative  Agent for the benefit
of the Secured  Parties,  in and to the right,  title and  interest of such Loan Parties in such  Collateral  as is
described in such financing  statements,  will thereupon  constitute  perfected  security  interests therein to the
extent that  security  interests in such  Collateral  may be perfected  under Article 9 of the UCC by the filing of
such  financing  statements.  Assuming  that  either a Grant of  Security  Interest  (as  defined  in the  Existing
Subsidiary  Guaranty  and the  Existing  Borrower  Security  Agreement  (as such terms are defined in the  Security
Agreement)) or a copy of the Security  Agreement is registered  with the United States Patent and Trademark  Office
and the United States Copyright  Office,  the security  interests granted by the Loan Parties party to the Security
Agreement  to the  Administrative  Agent for the benefit of the  Secured  Parties,  in and to the right,  title and
interest of such Loan  Parties in  Collateral  consisting  of  Intellectual  Property  (as defined in the  Security
Agreement),  will thereupon  constitute  perfected security interests therein to the extent that security interests
in such  Collateral may be perfected  under Article 9 of the UCC or other  applicable law by the  registration of a
Grant of Security  Interest or the Security  Agreement  with the United States Patent and Trademark  Office and the
United  States  Copyright  Office.  Upon the taking and  retaining  of  possession  in the State of New York by the
Administrative  Agent of  certificates  or instruments  evidencing  Pledged  Collateral (as defined in the Security
Agreement),  in each case  indorsed in blank,  the  security  interests  granted by the Loan  Parties  party to the
Security Agreement to the Administrative  Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties,  in and to the right, title
and  interest  of such Loan  Parties in such  Pledged  Collateral  will  thereupon  constitute  perfected  security
interests therein to the extent that security  interests in such Pledged  Collateral may be perfected under Article
9 of the UCC by the taking of such possession.

9.       No Loan  Party is (i) an  “investment  company”  as  defined  in, or  subject  to  regulation  under,  the
Investment  Company  Act of 1940 or (ii) a “holding  company” as defined in, or subject to  regulation  under,  the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

10.      If used solely for the purposes set forth in Section 6.8 of the Credit  Agreement and in  compliance  with
the  provisions  of  Section  4.15 of the  Credit  Agreement,  no part of the  proceeds  of the Loans will be used,
directly  or  indirectly,  for a purpose  which  violates  the  provisions  of  Regulations  U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.

11.      The fees,  interest  and other  charges  payable  under the Loan  Documents  do not  violate  any usury or
similar laws of the State of California.

Each  of the  opinions  set  forth  is  subject  to  the  following  exceptions,  qualifications,  limitations  and
assumptions:

         (a)      My  opinions  in   paragraph   (5)  are  subject  to  the  effect  of   bankruptcy,   insolvency,
reorganization,  moratorium,  arrangement  or  other  similar  laws  affecting  enforcement  of  creditors’  rights
generally,  including,  without limitation,  the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent  conveyance
or transfers, preferential transfers, and of laws affecting distributions by corporations to stockholders.

         (b)      My opinions in paragraph  (5) are subject to the  application  of general  principles  of equity,
whether  considered  in a case or  proceeding  at law or in equity,  including,  without  limitation,  concepts  of
materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

         (c)      My opinions  are  subject to the  qualification  that  indemnification  provisions  in any of the
Fifth Restatement  Transaction  Documents may be unenforceable to the extent that such  indemnification may be held
to be in  violation  of or  against  public  policy,  including,  without  limitation,  limitations  under  certain
circumstances on  enforceability  of provisions  indemnifying a party against loss attributable to or liability for
its own negligent acts.

         (d)      I express no opinion as to the  legality,  validity,  effect or  enforceability  of provisions of
the Fifth Restatement  Transaction  Documents that (i) provide for  indemnification  or contribution  rights to the
extent such  indemnification  or  contribution  is against public policy or provides for the  indemnification  of a
person for losses,  costs,  expenses,  liabilities or similar  matters  resulting,  in whole or in part,  from such
party’s own negligence,  or limitations upon which may be imposed by other applicable law and equitable principles;
(ii) waive any right to a jury trial or provide  for a choice of forum,  jurisdiction  or venue;  (iii)  purport to
establish  evidentiary  standards or make determinations  conclusive;  (iv) any provisions of the Fifth Restatement
Transaction  Documents  that expressly or by  implication  waive broadly or vaguely stated rights,  the benefits of
statutory or constitutional  provisions,  unknown future rights,  defenses to obligations or rights granted by law,
where such  provisions  are not waivable as a matter of law or are against  public policy or prohibited by law; (v)
provide that rights or remedies are not exclusive,  that every right or remedy is cumulative,  that the election of
a  particular  remedy or remedies  does not  preclude  recourse to one or more other  remedies,  or that failure to
exercise or delay in exercising  rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy;  (vi)
provide that any provisions of the Fifth Restatement  Transaction  Documents may only be modified in writing to the
extent that an oral  agreement  has been entered into  modifying  provisions of the Fifth  Restatement  Transaction
Documents;  (viii)  impose or are  construed to impose  penalties or  forfeitures  or provide for  liquidating  the
damages  for a breach of the  contract;  (ix)  provide  for the grant to any party of any power of  attorney or the
severability  of  material  provisions  of  the  Loan  Documents,  or  (x)  provide  for  set-off,  banker’s  lien,
contribution or similar rights.

         (e)      While I advise  you that  (subject  to the  other  assumptions,  exceptions,  qualifications  and
limitations herein) the terms and provisions of the Fifth Restatement  Transaction  Documents may be performed in a
manner  that does not result in any  violation,  breach,  default or lien  (other  than Liens  expressly  permitted
pursuant to the Loan  Documents),  or require  any  authorization,  consent,  waiver or  approval,  in each case as
described above, I express no opinion as to whether the actual  performance  after the date hereof of the terms and
provisions of the Fifth Restatement  Transaction Documents will not violate,  breach or constitute a default under,
result in the  creation  or  imposition  of any lien  (other than Liens  expressly  permitted  pursuant to the Loan
Documents) in respect of any property of the Parent or the  Subsidiaries  under,  any  agreement,  violate any law,
regulation,  order,  judgment  or  decree  applicable  to the  Parent  or the  Subsidiaries  or  require  any  such
authorization, consent, waiver or approval.

I am not  expressing  any  opinion  herein as to any  matters  arising  under the  Communications  Act of 1934,  as
amended, and the published rules, regulations and policies of the Federal Communications Commission.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the United  States of America and the State of  California.  I note that the
Loan Documents  provide that they are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and in that  connection,
I have  assumed,  for the  purposes of this  opinion,  that the laws of the State of New York are  identical to the
laws of the State of California.  The opinions  expressed  herein are based upon the law and  circumstances as they
are in effect or exist on the date hereof,  and I assume no obligation  to revise or supplement  this letter in the
event of future  changes in the law or  interpretations  thereof with respect to  circumstances  or events that may
occur subsequent to the date hereof.  I express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

This opinion is furnished  by me as counsel to the Loan  Parties to you.  This opinion is rendered  solely for your
benefit under the Credit  Agreement and the other Loan  Documents and may not be relied upon by any other person or
by you in any other context.

                                                     Very truly yours,

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  the undersigned,  SALEM COMMUNICATIONS  HOLDING  CORPORATION,  a Delaware corporation
(the  “Borrower”),  hereby  promises to pay to the order of  ________________  (the “Lender”) the unpaid  principal
amount of the Loans  (other than  Swingline  Loans) made by the Lender to the  Borrower,  in the amounts and at the
times set forth in the Fifth Amended and Restated  Credit  Agreement,  dated as of September 25, 2003,  among Salem
Communications  Corporation,  the Borrower,  the Lenders party thereto,  General Electric  Capital  Corporation and
SunTrust Bank, as Syndication  Agents,  Fleet  National Bank and ING (U.S.) Capital LLC, as  Documentation  Agents,
and The Bank of New York, as Administrative  Agent (as the same may be amended,  supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Credit  Agreement”),  and to pay interest from the date hereof on the principal  balance of
such  Loans  from  time to time  outstanding  at the  rate or  rates  and at the  times  set  forth  in the  Credit
Agreement,  in each case at the office of the  Administrative  Agent  located  at One Wall  Street,  New York,  New

United  States in  immediately  available  funds.  Terms not  otherwise  defined  herein but  defined in the Credit
Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

         The Loans  evidenced by this Note are prepayable in the amounts,  and under the  circumstances,  and their
respective  maturities are subject to acceleration  upon the terms,  set forth in the Credit  Agreement.  This Note
is subject to, and should be construed in accordance  with, the provisions of the Credit  Agreement and is entitled
to the benefits and security set forth in the Loan Documents.

         The Lender is hereby  authorized to record on the Schedule  annexed hereto,  and any  continuation  sheets
which the Lender  may attach  hereto,  (i) the date of each Loan  evidenced  by this Note made by the Lender to the

Margin and Interest  Period  applicable to each Eurodollar Loan and (iv) the date and amount of each conversion of,
and each payment or  prepayment of the  principal  of, any such Loan.  The entries made on such  Schedule  shall be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations  recorded  thereon,  provided that the failure
to so record or any error  therein  shall not in any manner  affect the  obligation  of the  Borrower  to repay the
Loans in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

         Except  as  specifically  otherwise  provided  in  the  Credit  Agreement,   the  Borrower  hereby  waives
presentment,  demand, notice of dishonor,  protest,  notice of protest and all other demands,  protests and notices

successors  and assigns of such party.  The Borrower  shall not have the right to assign its rights or  obligations
hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted  assignment shall be void),  except as expressly permitted
by the Loan  Documents.  No  failure  or delay of the  Lender  in  exercising  any power or right  hereunder  shall
operate  as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall  any  single  or  partial  exercise  of any such  right or power,  or any
abandonment or  discontinuance  of steps to enforce such a right or power,  preclude any other or further  exercise
thereof or the  exercise of any other right or power.  Neither  this Note nor any  provision  hereof may be waived,
amended or modified,  nor shall any departure  therefrom be consented to,  except  pursuant to a written  agreement
entered into between the Borrower  and the Lender with  respect to which such waiver,  amendment,  modification  or
consent is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

         THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         The  Borrower  hereby  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  submits,  for  itself and its  property,  to the
nonexclusive  jurisdiction  of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in
New York City,  and any appellate  court from any thereof,  in any action or proceeding  arising out of or relating
to this Note or the other Loan  Documents,  or for  recognition or  enforcement  of any judgment,  and the Borrower
hereby  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  agrees that, to the extent  permitted by  applicable  law, all claims in
respect of any such  action or  proceeding  may be heard and  determined  in such New York  State  court or, to the
extent  permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court.  The Borrower,  and by accepting this Note, the Lender,
agrees that a final  judgment in any such action or  proceeding  shall be  conclusive  and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions  by suit on the  judgment or in any other manner  provided by law.  Nothing in this Note shall affect
any right that the Lender may otherwise  have to bring any action or proceeding  relating to this Note or the other
Loan Documents against the Borrower, or any of its property, in the courts of any jurisdiction.

         The Borrower,  and by accepting this Note, the Lender,  hereby irrevocably and unconditionally  waives, to
the fullest  extent it may legally and  effectively  do so, any objection  that it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any  suit,  action or  proceeding  arising  out of or  relating  to this Note or the other  Loan
Documents in any court referred to in the preceding  paragraph  hereof.  The Borrower,  and by accepting this Note,
the Lender,  hereby  irrevocably  waives,  to the fullest  extent  permitted by  applicable  law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

         THE  BORROWER,  AND BY  ACCEPTING  THIS NOTE,  THE LENDER,  EACH  HEREBY  WAIVES,  TO THE  FULLEST  EXTENT
PERMITTED  BY  APPLICABLE  LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY  LITIGATION  DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY  ARISING  OUT  OF,  UNDER  OR IN  CONNECTION  WITH  THIS  NOTE.  THE  BORROWER  (A)  CERTIFIES  THAT  NO
REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE LENDER HAS  REPRESENTED,  EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,  THAT SUCH LENDER WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,  SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING  WAIVER AND (B)  ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT SUCH LENDER HAS
BEEN INDUCED TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND ENTER INTO THE LOAN  DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY BY, AMONG OTHER  THINGS,

         AMENDED AND RESTATED  GUARANTEE  AGREEMENT,  dated as of September  25, 2003,  among SALEM  COMMUNICATIONS
CORPORATION,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  “Parent”),  SALEM  COMMUNICATIONS  HOLDING  CORPORATION,  a  Delaware
corporation (the  “Borrower”),  each of the Restricted  Subsidiaries of the Parent listed on Exhibit A hereto (each
such  Restricted  Subsidiary,   individually,  a  “Subsidiary  Guarantor”  and,  collectively,   the  “Subsidiary
Guarantors”  the Parent and the  Subsidiary  Guarantors  are  sometimes  referred  to  collectively  herein as the
“Guarantors”),  and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, as  administrative  agent under the Credit  Agreement  referred to in the
next paragraph acting on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in such Credit Agreement).

                                                     RECITALS

         I.       Reference is made to each of the following:

                  A.       the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit  Agreement,  dated as of September 25, 2003, among
the Parent,  the Borrower,  the Lenders party thereto,  General Electric Capital  Corporation and SunTrust Bank, as
Syndication  Agents,  Fleet National Bank and ING (U.S.) Capital LLC, as Documentation  Agents, and The Bank of New
York, as  Administrative  Agent (as amended,  supplemented  or otherwise  modified from time to time,  the “Credit
Agreement”);

                  B.       the Second Amended and Restated Parent  Guaranty,  dated as of June 15, 2001,  among the
Parent,  the Borrower and the  Administrative  Agent (as amended prior to the date hereof,  the  “Existing  Parent
Guaranty”); and

                  C.       the Second Amended and Restated  Subsidiary  Guaranty and Security  Agreement,  dated as
of August 24, 2000, among the Subsidiary  Guarantors party thereto,  the Borrower and the Administrative  Agent (as
amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Subsidiary Guaranty”).

         II.      This  Guarantee  Agreement  amends,  restates and combines the Existing  Parent  Guaranty and the
guarantee  provisions of the Existing  Subsidiary  Guaranty.  This  Guarantee  Agreement is secured by the Security
Documents.

         III.     Capitalized  terms used herein and not defined  herein shall have the  meanings  assigned to such
terms in the Credit Agreement.

         IV.      The Lenders  have agreed to make Loans to, and the  Issuing  Bank has agreed to issue  Letters of
Credit for the account of, the  Borrower  pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the  conditions  specified
in, the Credit  Agreement.  The Borrower is a  wholly-owned  Subsidiary of the Parent,  and each of the  Subsidiary
Guarantors is a direct or indirect  Subsidiary of the Parent.  Each Guarantor  acknowledges that (i) it will derive
substantial  benefit from the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit and (ii) the  execution
and  delivery by the  Guarantors  and the  Borrower of this  Guarantee  Agreement  is a condition  precedent to the
effectiveness of the Credit  Agreement,  and the Credit Parties would not have entered into the Credit Agreement if
the Guarantors and the Borrower had not executed and delivered this Guarantee Agreement.

         V.       For  convenience,  this Guarantee  Agreement is dated as of September 25, 2003, and references to
certain matters related to the period prior hereto have been deleted.

         Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article 1.
                                GUARANTEE; FRAUDULENT TRANSFER, ETC.; CONTRIBUTION
Section 1.1       Guarantee

                  Each Guarantor  unconditionally  guarantees,  jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as
a  primary  obligor  and not  merely  as a  surety,  the  Obligations.  Each  Guarantor  further  agrees  that  the
Obligations may be extended or renewed,  in whole or in part,  without notice to or further assent from it and that
it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Section 1.2       Guarantee of Payment

                  Each  Guarantor  further agrees that its guarantee  hereunder  constitutes a guarantee of payment
when due and not of  collection,  and  waives any right to  require  that any  resort be had by the  Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security  held for payment of the  Obligations  or to any balance of
any deposit account or credit on the books of the  Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the
Borrower or any other person.

Section 1.3       Fraudulent Transfer

                  Anything in this  Guarantee  Agreement to the contrary  notwithstanding,  (i) the  obligations of
each Subsidiary  Guarantor  hereunder shall be limited to a maximum  aggregate  amount equal to the greatest amount
that would not render such  Subsidiary  Guarantor’s  obligations  hereunder  subject to  avoidance  as a fraudulent
transfer,  obligation  or conveyance  under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any  provisions of
applicable  state law  (collectively,  the  “Fraudulent  Transfer  Laws”),  in each case after giving effect to all
other  liabilities of such Subsidiary  Guarantor,  contingent or otherwise,  that are relevant under the Fraudulent
Transfer Laws  (specifically  excluding,  however,  any liabilities of such Subsidiary  Guarantor (A) in respect of
intercompany  debt owed or owing to the Borrower or  Affiliates  of the Borrower to the extent that such debt would
be  discharged  in an amount  equal to the amount paid by such  Subsidiary  Guarantor  hereunder  and (B) under any
Guarantee of senior  unsecured debt or  Indebtedness  subordinated  in right of payment to the  Obligations,  which
Guarantee  contains a limitation  as to maximum  amount  similar to that set forth in this clause (i) this Section,
pursuant to which the liability of such Subsidiary  Guarantor  hereunder is included in the liabilities  taken into
account in determining  such maximum  amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as  determined  under
the  applicable  provisions  of  the  Fraudulent  Transfer  Laws)  of  any  rights  to  subrogation,  contribution,
reimbursement,  indemnity or similar  rights of such  Subsidiary  Guarantor  pursuant to (I) applicable law or (II)
any agreement  providing for an equitable  allocation  among such Subsidiary  Guarantor and other Affiliates of the
Borrower of obligations  arising under  guarantees by such parties  (including the agreements  described in Section
1.4)  and  (ii)  the  Parent  expressly  waives  any and  all  rights  of  subrogation,  reimbursement,  indemnity,
exoneration,  contribution  or any other claim that it may now or hereafter  have against the  Borrower,  any other
Loan Party,  any other  guarantor or any other  Person  directly or  contingently  liable for the  Obligations,  or
against or with  respect to the  property of the  Borrower,  such other Loan Party,  such other  guarantor  or such
other Person,  arising from the existence or performance  hereof,  and, in furtherance,  and not in limitation,  of
the preceding  waiver,  the Parent agrees that, in the event that any money or property shall be transferred to any
Credit Party by the Parent  pursuant to this  Guarantee  Agreement in reduction of the  Obligations,  such transfer
shall be deemed to be a contribution to the capital of the applicable  Loan Party,  other guarantor or other Person
(in the case of the  transfer  of  property,  in an  amount  equal  to the fair  market  value of the  property  so
transferred)  as of the date of such  transfer,  and any such transfer  shall not cause the Parent to be a creditor
of such Loan Party.

Section 1.4       Contributions

                  In addition to all rights of indemnity and subrogation  the Subsidiary  Guarantors may have under
applicable law (but subject to this  paragraph),  the Borrower agrees that (i) in the event a payment shall be made
by any Subsidiary Guarantor  hereunder,  the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount
of such  payment,  and such  Subsidiary  Guarantor  shall be  subrogated  to the  rights of the Person to whom such
payments  shall  have  been made to the  extent  of such  payment,  and (ii) in the  event  that any  assets of any
Subsidiary  Guarantor  shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy any claim of any Secured  Party,  the
Borrower  shall  indemnify  such  Subsidiary  Guarantor  in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the
fair  market  value of the assets so sold.  Each  Subsidiary  Guarantor  (a  “Contributing  Subsidiary  Guarantor”)
agrees (subject to this  paragraph)  that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other  Subsidiary  Guarantor
hereunder or assets of any other  Subsidiary  Guarantor  shall be sold  pursuant to any Loan  Document to satisfy a
claim of any Secured Party and such other  Subsidiary  Guarantor (the “Claiming  Subsidiary  Guarantor”)  shall not
have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in this paragraph,  the Contributing  Subsidiary  Guarantor
shall indemnify the Claiming  Subsidiary  Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater
of the book value or the fair market value of such assets,  as  applicable,  in each case  multiplied by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing  Subsidiary  Guarantor on the date hereof and the
denominator  shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary  Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case
of any  Subsidiary  Guarantor  becoming a party hereto  pursuant to Article 14, the date of the  Supplement  hereto
executed and delivered by such Subsidiary  Guarantor).  Any  Contributing  Subsidiary  Guarantor making any payment
to a Claiming  Subsidiary  Guarantor  pursuant to this paragraph shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming
Subsidiary  Guarantor  under this  paragraph to the extent of such payment.  Notwithstanding  any provision of this
paragraph to the contrary,  all rights of the  Subsidiary  Guarantors  under this paragraph and all other rights of
indemnity,  contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully  subordinated to the final
and  indefeasible  payment  in full in cash of the  Obligations.  No  failure  on the part of the  Borrower  or any
Subsidiary  Guarantor  to make the  payments  required by this  paragraph  (or any other  payments  required  under
applicable  law or  otherwise)  shall in any  respect  limit the  obligations  and  liabilities  of any  Subsidiary
Guarantor with respect to its obligations under this paragraph,  and each Subsidiary  Guarantor shall remain liable
for the full amount of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph.

Article 2.
                                              OBLIGATIONS NOT WAIVED
         To the fullest  extent  permitted by  applicable  law, each  Guarantor  waives  presentment  to, demand of
payment  from,  and protest to any Loan Party of any of the  Obligations,  and also waives  notice of acceptance of
its  guarantee  and notice of protest for  nonpayment.  To the fullest  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law, the
obligations of each Guarantor  hereunder  shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the  Administrative  Agent or
any other  Secured  Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise  any right or remedy  against the
Borrower or any other  Guarantor  under the  provisions  of the Credit  Agreement  or any other Loan  Document,  or
otherwise,  (ii) any rescission,  waiver,  amendment or  modification  of, or any release from, any of the terms or
provisions of this Guarantee Agreement,  any other Loan Document,  any Guarantee or any other agreement,  including
with respect to any other  Guarantor  under this  Guarantee  Agreement or (iii) the failure to perfect any security
interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the  Administrative  Agent or any other
Secured Party.

Article 3.
                                                     SECURITY
         Each  Guarantor  authorizes  the  Administrative  Agent and each other  Secured Party to (i) take and hold
security for the payment of the obligations under this Guarantee  Agreement  pursuant to the Security Agreement and
the Obligations  and exchange,  enforce,  waive and release any such security,  (ii) apply such security and direct
the order or manner of sale thereof in accordance  with the Loan  Documents and (iii) release or substitute any one
or more endorsees, other Guarantors or other obligors.

Article 4.
                                     NO DISCHARGE OR DIMINISHMENT OF GUARANTEE
         The  obligations  of  each  Guarantor  hereunder  shall  not  be  subject  to any  reduction,  limitation,
impairment  or  termination  for any reason (other than the final and  indefeasible  payment in full in cash of the
Obligations),  including  any  claim  of  waiver,  release,  surrender,  alteration  or  compromise  of  any of the
Obligations,  and  shall  not be  subject  to any  defense  or  setoff,  counterclaim,  recoupment  or  termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,  illegality or  unenforceability  of the Obligations or otherwise.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the  obligations of each Guarantor  hereunder shall not be discharged or
impaired or otherwise  affected by the failure of the  Administrative  Agent or any other  Secured  Party to assert
any claim or demand or to enforce  any remedy  under the Credit  Agreement,  any other Loan  Document  or any other
agreement,  by any waiver or  modification  of any  provision  of any thereof,  by any  default,  failure or delay,
willful or otherwise,  in the performance of the Obligations,  or by any other act or omission that may or might in
any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any  Guarantor or that would  otherwise  operate as a discharge of any
Guarantor as a matter of law or equity  (other than the final and  indefeasible  payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations).

Article 5.
                                            DEFENSES OF BORROWER WAIVED
         To the fullest extent  permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors  waives any defense based on or
arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the  unenforceability  of the  Obligations or
any part  thereof from any cause,  or the  cessation  from any cause of the  liability of the Borrower or any other
Loan Party,  other than the final and indefeasible  payment in full in cash of the Obligations.  The Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their  election,  foreclose on any security held by one or more of them
by one or more judicial or  nonjudicial  sales,  accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of  foreclosure,
compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations,  make any other  accommodation with the Borrower or any Guarantor
or exercise any other right or remedy  available to them against the Borrower or any Guarantor,  without  affecting
or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor  hereunder  except to the extent the  Obligations  have been
fully,  finally and  indefeasibly  paid in cash.  Pursuant to  applicable  law, each  Guarantor  waives any defense
arising out of any such election even though such election  operates,  pursuant to applicable  law, to impair or to
extinguish  any right of  reimbursement  or  subrogation  or other  right or remedy of such  Guarantor  against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor, as applicable, or any security.

Article 6.
                                          AGREEMENT TO PAY; SUBORDINATION
                  In   furtherance   of  the  foregoing  and  not  in  limitation  of  any  other  right  that  the
Administrative  Agent or any other  Secured Party has at law or in equity  against any Guarantor by virtue  hereof,
upon the failure of the  Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any  Obligation  when and as the same shall become
due,  whether at maturity,  by  acceleration,  after notice of  prepayment  or  otherwise,  each  Guarantor  hereby
promises to and will  forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the  Administrative  Agent or such other Secured Party
as  designated  thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid  Obligations.  Upon payment by any  Guarantor of any sums
to the  Administrative  Agent or any Secured  Party as provided  above,  all rights of such  Guarantor  against the
applicable  Loan Party arising as a result  thereof by way of right of  subrogation,  contribution,  reimbursement,
indemnity or otherwise  shall in all respects be subordinate  and junior in right of payment to the prior final and
indefeasible  payment in full in cash of the Obligations.  In addition,  any debt of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party now or  hereafter  held by any  Guarantor is hereby  subordinated  in right of payment to the prior final and
indefeasible  payment  in  full  in  cash  of the  Obligations.  If any  amount  shall  erroneously  be paid to any
Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation,  contribution,  reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any
such debt of the  Borrower  or such other Loan  Party,  such  amount  shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the  Administrative  Agent to be credited against the payment of the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Article 7.
                                                    INFORMATION
         Each  Guarantor  assumes all  responsibility  for being and keeping  itself  informed of each Loan Party’s
financial  condition  and  assets,  and of all  other  circumstances  bearing  upon the risk of  nonpayment  of the
Obligations and the nature,  scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor  assumes and incurs  hereunder,  and
agrees that none of the  Administrative  Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the
Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Article 8.
                                          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
         Each of the  Subsidiary  Guarantors  represents  and  warrants as to itself that all  representations  and
warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.

Article 9.
                                                    TERMINATION
         The  guarantees  made  hereunder  (i) shall  terminate  when all  Commitments  have  expired or  otherwise
terminated  and the  principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other  amounts  payable under the Loan
Documents shall have been finally and  indefeasibly  paid in full in cash and all Letters of Credit have expired or
otherwise  terminated and all LC  Disbursements  have been  indefeasibly  reimbursed in full in cash and (ii) shall
continue to be effective or be  reinstated,  as  applicable,  if at any time payment,  or any part thereof,  of any
such  Obligation  is  rescinded  or must  otherwise  be  restored by any Secured  Party or any  Guarantor  upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise.

         In addition,  if the  obligations  of any  Subsidiary  Guarantor  under the Security  Agreement  have been
released  pursuant to Article 10 of the  Security  Agreement,  such release  shall also  constitute  the  automatic
release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Article 10.
                                  BINDING EFFECT; SEVERAL AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS
         Whenever in this Guarantee  Agreement any of the parties  hereto is referred to, such  reference  shall be
deemed to include the  successors and assigns of such party;  and all  covenants,  promises and agreements by or on
behalf of any  Guarantor  that are  contained in this  Guarantee  Agreement  shall bind and inure to the benefit of
each party hereto and its  successors  and  assigns.  This  Guarantee  Agreement  shall become  effective as to any
Guarantor  when a  counterpart  hereof  executed  on behalf of such  Guarantor  shall  have been  delivered  to the
Administrative  Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative  Agent, and
thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the  Administrative  Agent and their respective  successors and
assigns,  and shall  inure to the  benefit  of such  Guarantor,  the  Administrative  Agent  and the other  Secured
Parties, and their respective  successors and assigns,  except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its
rights or obligations  hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted  assignment shall be void),  except
as  expressly  contemplated  by  this  Guarantee  Agreement  or the  other  Loan  Documents.  If any of the  equity
interests in any  Subsidiary  Guarantor is sold,  transferred  or otherwise  disposed of pursuant to a  transaction
permitted by the Loan Documents and,  immediately after giving effect thereto,  such Subsidiary  Guarantor shall no
longer be a Subsidiary,  then the obligations of such Subsidiary  Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be
automatically  released.  This Guarantee  Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each
Guarantor and may be amended,  modified,  supplemented,  waived or released  with respect to any Guarantor  without
the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

Article 11.
                                                WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS
Section 11.1      No Waiver

                  No  failure  or delay of the  Administrative  Agent in  exercising  any power or right  hereunder
shall  operate as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall any single or partial  exercise of any such right or power,  or any
abandonment or  discontinuance  of steps to enforce such a right or power,  preclude any other or further  exercise
thereof  or the  exercise  of any other  right or power.  The  rights  and  remedies  of the  Administrative  Agent
hereunder and of the other Secured  Parties under the other Loan  Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would  otherwise  have. No waiver of any provision of this Guarantee  Agreement or
any other Loan  Document or consent to any  departure by any  Guarantor  therefrom  shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be  permitted by Section  11.2,  and then such waiver or consent  shall be effective  only in
the  specific  instance  and for the  purpose for which  given.  No notice or demand on any  Guarantor  in any case
shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 11.2      Amendments, etc.

                  Neither this  Guarantee  Agreement  nor any provision  hereof may be waived,  amended or modified
except  pursuant  to a  written  agreement  entered  into by,  between  or among the  Administrative  Agent and the
Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to which such waiver,  amendment or  modification is to apply,  subject to any
consent required in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

Article 12.
                                                      NOTICES
         All  communications  and notices  hereunder  shall be in writing and given as provided in Section  10.1 of
the Credit  Agreement.  All  communications  and notices hereunder to the  Administrative  Agent, the Parent or the
Borrower  shall be given to it at its address for notices set forth in such  Section,  and all  communications  and
notices hereunder to any other Guarantor shall be given to it c/o the Borrower at such address.

Article 13.
                                        SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY
Section 13.1      Survival of Agreement

                  All covenants,  agreements,  representations  and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in
the  certificates  or other  instruments  prepared or delivered in  connection  with or pursuant to this  Guarantee
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the  Administrative  Agent and
the other Secured  Parties and shall survive the  execution  and delivery of any Loan  Document,  the making of any
Loan and the issuance of any Letter of Credit,  regardless of any  investigation  made by the Secured Parties or on
their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Guarantee Agreement shall terminate.

Section 13.2      Severability

                  In the event any one or more of the provisions  contained in this  Guarantee  Agreement or in any
other Loan Document should be held invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable in any respect,  the validity,  legality and
enforceability  of the  remaining  provisions  contained  herein and  therein  shall not in any way be  affected or
impaired  thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular  provision in a particular  jurisdiction
shall not in and of itself  affect the validity of such  provision in any other  jurisdiction).  The parties  shall
endeavor in  good-faith  negotiations  to replace  the  invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  provisions  with valid
provisions  the  economic  effect  of  which  comes  as  close  as  possible  to that of the  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable provisions.

Article 14.
                                               ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS
         Upon  execution  and  delivery  after  the  date  hereof  by the  Administrative  Agent  and a  Restricted
Subsidiary  of an  instrument  in the form of Exhibit  B, such  Restricted  Subsidiary  shall  become a  Subsidiary
Guarantor  hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary  Guarantor  herein.  The
execution  and  delivery of any such  instrument  shall not require the consent of any other  Guarantor  hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Guarantor  hereunder shall remain in full force and effect  notwithstanding  the
addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Guarantee Agreement.

Article 15.
                                                  RIGHT OF SETOFF
         If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  each Secured Party is hereby  authorized at
any time and from time to time,  to the fullest  extent  permitted by  applicable  law, to setoff and apply any and
all deposits  (general or special,  time or demand,  provisional or final) at any time held and other  Indebtedness
at any time owing by such  Secured  Party to or for the credit or the account of any  Guarantor  against any or all
the  obligations  of such Guarantor now or hereafter  existing  under this  Guarantee  Agreement and the other Loan
Documents  held by such  Secured  Party,  irrespective  of whether or not such  Secured  Party  shall have made any
demand under this Guarantee  Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such  obligations  may be unmatured.
The rights of each Secured Party under this Article are in addition to other rights and remedies  (including  other
rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.

assignment in which it assigns any such  Collateral or any security  agreement or similar  instrument  covering any
such Collateral with any foreign  governmental,  municipal or other office, in each case which financing statement,
analogous document,  assignment or other instrument,  as applicable, is still in effect, except for Liens expressly
permitted by the Loan Documents.

(vi)     The Security  Interest in the  Collateral  owned or rights in the  Collateral  held by it or on its behalf
(A) is  effective  to vest in the  Administrative  Agent,  on  behalf of the  Secured  Parties,  the  rights of the
Administrative  Agent in such  Collateral  as set forth herein and (B) does not violate  Regulation T, U or X as of
the Applicable Date.

(vii)    All  leases,  licenses  (other  than FCC  Licenses)  and other  contracts  and  agreements  as to which no
security  interest  is granted by virtue  Section  1.3(c) are not  material  to the  business of the Parent and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b)      Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(i)      It shall  maintain,  at its own cost and expense,  such complete and accurate  Records with respect to the
Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf as is  consistent  with its current  practices  and in  accordance
with such prudent and standard  practices  used in industries  that are the same as or similar to those in which it
is engaged,  but in any event to include complete  accounting Records indicating all payments and proceeds received
with  respect  to any  part of such  Collateral,  and,  at such  time or  times  as the  Administrative  Agent  may
reasonably  request,  promptly to prepare  and deliver to the  Administrative  Agent a duly  certified  schedule or
schedules in form and detail  satisfactory to the  Administrative  Agent showing the identity and amount of any and
all such Collateral.

(ii)     It shall,  at its own cost and expense,  take any and all  commercially  reasonable  actions  necessary to
defend title to the  Collateral  owned or rights in Collateral  held by it or on its behalf against all Persons and
to defend the Security  Interest in such  Collateral  and the priority  thereof  against any Lien or other interest
not expressly  permitted by the Loan  Documents,  and in  furtherance  thereof,  it shall not take, or permit to be
taken, any action not otherwise  expressly  permitted by the Loan Documents that could impair the Security Interest
or the priority thereof or any Secured Party’s rights in or to such Collateral.

(iii)    The  Administrative  Agent and such  Persons  as the  Administrative  Agent may  designate  shall have the
right,  at the cost and expense of such  Grantor,  to inspect all of its Records  (and to make  extracts and copies
from such  Records),  to discuss its affairs  with its  officers and  independent  accountants  and to verify under
reasonable  procedures  the  validity,  amount,  quality,  quantity,  value,  condition and status of, or any other
matter  relating to, the  Collateral  owned or rights therein held by or on behalf of such Grantor,  including,  in
the  case of  Receivables,  Pledged  Debt,  General  Intangibles,  Commercial  Tort  Claims  or  Collateral  in the
possession of any third person,  by contacting  Account Debtors,  contract parties or other obligors thereon or any
third person  possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification.  The  Administrative  Agent
shall have the absolute right to share on a  confidential  basis any  information it gains from such  inspection or
verification with any Secured Party.

(iv)     At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes,  assessments,  charges, fees, Liens,
security  interests or other  encumbrances  at any time levied or placed on the  Collateral  owned or held by or on
behalf of such Grantor,  and not permitted by the Loan Documents,  and may pay for the maintenance and preservation
of such  Collateral to the extent such Grantor fails to do so as required by the Loan  Documents,  and such Grantor
agrees,  jointly with the other Grantors and  severally,  to reimburse the  Administrative  Agent on demand for any
payment  made or any  expense  incurred  by the  Administrative  Agent  pursuant  to the  foregoing  authorization;
provided,  however,  that  nothing  in this  paragraph  shall be  interpreted  as  excusing  any  Grantor  from the
performance  of, or imposing any  obligation  on the  Administrative  Agent or any other  Secured  Party to cure or
perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes,  assessments,  charges, fees, Liens,
security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(v)      It shall remain liable for the failure to observe and perform all the  conditions  and  obligations  to be
observed and performed by it under each  contract,  agreement or  instrument  relating to the  Collateral  owned or
held by it or on its behalf, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof,  and it agrees,  jointly with
the other Grantors and  severally,  to indemnify and hold harmless the  Administrative  Agent and the other Secured
Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

(vi)     It shall not make, or permit to be made, an assignment,  pledge or  hypothecation  of the Collateral owned
or held by it or on its  behalf,  or grant  any other  Lien in  respect  of such  Collateral,  except as  expressly
permitted by the Loan  Documents.  Except for Liens or transfers  expressly  permitted  by the Loan  Documents,  it
shall  not  make or  permit  to be made any  transfer  of such  Collateral,  and it shall  remain  at all  times in
possession of such Collateral and the direct owner,  beneficially  and of record,  of the Pledged Equity  Interests
included in such  Collateral,  except that (A)  Inventory  may be sold in the  ordinary  course of business and (B)
unless and until the  Administrative  Agent shall  notify it that an Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be
continuing  and that,  during the  continuance  thereof,  it shall not sell,  convey,  lease,  assign,  transfer or
otherwise  dispose of any such  Collateral  (which  notice  may be given by  telephone  if  promptly  confirmed  in
writing),  it may use and dispose of such Collateral in any lawful manner not  inconsistent  with the provisions of
this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(vii)    It  shall,  at its own cost  and  expense,  maintain  or cause to be  maintained  insurance  covering  (A)
physical loss or damage to the Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf and (B) liability  arising from the
use or intended use, or otherwise  attributable  or relating to, such  Collateral,  in each case in accordance with
Section 6.10 of the Credit  Agreement.  The policies  covering such insurance (1) shall, in the case of each policy
under  clause (A) of this  paragraph,  contain a standard  loss  payable  clause and shall name the  Administrative
Agent or its agent as sole loss  payee in respect of each claim  resulting  in a payment  under any such  insurance
policy exceeding  $500,000,  (2) shall, in the case of each policy under clause (B) of this paragraph,  be indorsed
to provide,  in respect of the  interests  of the  Administrative  Agent and the other  Secured  Parties,  that the
Administrative  Agent shall be an  additional  insured and (3) shall,  in the case of each policy under clauses (A)
and (B) of this  paragraph,  provide  (to the extent  customary  in the  insurance  industry)  that 30 days’  prior
written notice of any  cancellation or modification  thereof or any reduction of amounts payable  thereunder  shall
be given to the  Administrative  Agent,  and in the event that such  Grantor at any time or times shall fail to pay
any premium in whole or part relating  thereto,  the  Administrative  Agent may, in its sole  discretion,  pay such
premium.  Such Grantor  irrevocably  makes,  constitutes and appoints the  Administrative  Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by the  Administrative  Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney
in fact) for the purpose,  during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making,  settling and adjusting claims
in respect of such  Collateral  under  policies  of  insurance,  endorsing  the name of such  Grantor on any check,
draft,  instrument  or other item of payment for the  proceeds of such  policies  of  insurance  and for making all
determinations  and decisions with respect thereto.  In the event that such Grantor at any time or times shall fail
to obtain or maintain  any of the  policies  of  insurance  required  hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part
relating  thereto,  the  Administrative  Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the
Grantors  hereunder  or any Event of  Default,  in its sole  discretion,  obtain  and  maintain  such  policies  of
insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect  thereto as the  Administrative  Agent deems
advisable.  All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph,  including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses,  court costs,  expenses and other charges relating  thereto,  shall be payable,  upon
demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

Section 3.2       Equipment and Inventory

                  Each of the Grantors,  jointly with the other Grantors and severally,  represents and warrants to
the  Administrative  Agent and the other Secured Parties that, as of the Applicable  Date, all of the Equipment and
Inventory  included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf (other than mobile goods,  Inventory and
Equipment in transit and other  Collateral  in which  possession is not  maintained  in the ordinary  course of its
business) is kept only at the locations  specified on Schedule 3.2. In addition,  each Grantor covenants and agrees
that it shall not permit  Equipment or Inventory  with a value in excess of $250,000  owned or held by it or on its
behalf (and shall not permit,  with respect to all  Grantors,  taken as a whole,  Equipment  and  Inventory  with a
value in excess of $500,000 in the  aggregate)  to be in the  possession  or control of any  warehouseman,  bailee,
agent or processor for a period of greater than thirty (30) consecutive  days,  unless such  warehouseman,  bailee,
agent or processor  shall have been  notified of the Security  Interest  and, at the request of the  Administrative
Agent,  shall have agreed in writing to hold such Equipment or Inventory  subject to the Security  Interest and the
instructions  of the  Administrative  Agent  and to waive and  release  any Lien  held by it with  respect  to such
Equipment or Inventory, whether arising by operation of law or otherwise.

Section 3.3       Receivables

(a)      Representations  and  Warranties.  Each of the Grantors,  jointly with the other  Grantors and  severally,
represents and warrants to the  Administrative  Agent and the other Secured Parties that no Receivable  included in
the  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf is evidenced by an  Instrument  or Chattel Paper that has not
been delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(b)      Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:

(i)      It will not,  without the  Administrative  Agent’s  prior  written  consent  (which  consent  shall not be
unreasonably  withheld),  grant any extension of the time of payment of any such Receivable,  compromise,  compound
or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof,  release,  wholly or partly, any Supporting Obligation or
Collateral Support relating thereto,  or allow any credit or discount  whatsoever  thereon,  other than extensions,
credits,  discounts,  releases,  compromises or settlements  granted or made in the ordinary course of business and
in accordance with such practices reasonably believed by such Grantor to be prudent.

(ii)     Except as otherwise  provided in this Section,  it shall  continue to collect all amounts due or to become
due to it under all such Receivables and any Supporting  Obligations or Collateral  Support relating  thereto,  and
diligently  exercise each material right it may have thereunder,  in each case at its own cost and expense,  and in
connection  with such  collections  and exercise,  it shall,  upon the occurrence and during the  continuance of an
Event  of  Default,   take  such  action  as  it  or  the  Administrative  Agent  may  reasonably  deem  necessary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Administrative  Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and
during the  continuance  of an Event of Default to notify,  or require such Grantor to notify,  any Account  Debtor
with respect to any such Receivable,  Supporting  Obligation or Collateral  Support of the  Administrative  Agent’s
security  interest  therein,  and in  addition,  at any time during the  continuation  of an Event of Default,  the
Administrative  Agent may:  (A) direct such  Account  Debtor to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to
such Grantor  thereunder  directly to the  Administrative  Agent and (B)  enforce,  at the cost and expense of such
Grantor,  collection thereof and to adjust,  settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner
and to the same extent as such  Grantor  would be able to have done.  If the  Administrative  Agent  notifies  such
Grantor  that it has  elected to collect  any such  Receivable,  Supporting  Obligation  or  Collateral  Support in
accordance  with the  preceding  sentence,  any payments  thereof  received by such Grantor shall not be commingled
with any of its other funds or property  but shall be held  separate  and apart  therefrom,  shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder  and shall be forthwith  delivered  to the  Administrative
Agent in the same form as so  received  (with any  necessary  indorsement),  and such  Grantor  shall not grant any
extension  of the time of payment  thereof,  compromise,  compound or settle the same for less than the full amount
thereof, release the same, wholly or partly, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

(iii)    It shall use commercially  reasonable  efforts to keep in full force and effect any Supporting  Obligation
or Collateral Support relating to any Receivable.

Section 3.4       Investment-Related Property

(a)      Representations  and  Warranties.  Each of the Grantors,  jointly with the other  Grantors and  severally,
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that:

(i)      Schedule  3.4 sets  forth,  as of the  Applicable  Date,  all of the  Pledged  Collateral  included in the
Collateral owned or held by or on behalf of such Grantor.

(ii)     All Pledged Equity  Interests  included in the  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf have been
duly  authorized  and validly issued and are fully paid and  non-assessable,  and such Grantor is the direct owner,
beneficially  and of record,  thereof,  free and clear of all Liens  (other than Liens  expressly  permitted by the
Loan Documents).

(iii)    All  Pledged  Debt  included  in the  Collateral  owned  or  held by it or on its  behalf  has  been  duly
authorized,  issued and  delivered  and,  where  necessary,  authenticated,  and, to the knowledge of such Grantor,
constitutes  the  legal,  valid and  binding  obligation  of the  obligor  with  respect  thereto,  enforceable  in
accordance  with  its  terms,   subject  to  the  effects  of  bankruptcy,   insolvency,   fraudulent   conveyance,
reorganization,  moratorium  and other  similar  laws  relating to or affecting  creditors’  rights  generally  and
general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(iv)     All Pledged  Collateral  consisting of  certificated  securities,  Chattel Paper or  Instruments  has been
delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(v)      Other  than the  Pledged  Equity  Interests  that  constitute  General  Intangibles,  there is no  Pledged
Collateral  other than that  represented  by  certificated  securities  or  Instruments  in the  possession  of the
Administrative Agent.

(b)      Registration  in Nominee  Name;  Denominations.  Each  Grantor  hereby  agrees that (i)  without  limiting
Article  5, the  Administrative  Agent,  on behalf of the  Secured  Parties,  shall have the right (in its sole and
absolute discretion) to hold  Investment-Related  Property included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its
behalf in the Administrative  Agent’s own name as pledgee,  the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or
the  name of the  applicable  Grantor,  endorsed  or  assigned,  where  applicable,  in  blank  or in  favor of the
Administrative  Agent,  (ii)  at the  Administrative  Agent’s  request,  such  Grantor  will  promptly  give to the
Administrative  Agent copies of any material  notices or other written  communications  received by it with respect
to any  Investment-Related  Property  included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf registered in
its name and (iii) the  Administrative  Agent  shall at all times  have the  right to  exchange  any  certificates,
instruments  or other  documents  representing  or  evidencing  any  Investment-Related  Property  included  in the
Collateral  owned or held by or on behalf of such  Grantor for  certificates,  instruments  or other  documents  of
smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Security Agreement.

(c)      Voting and Distributions.

(i)      Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(A)      Each Grantor  shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other  consensual  rights and powers
         inuring to an owner of the  Investment-Related  Property included in the Collateral owned or held by it or
         on its behalf, or any part thereof,  for any purpose  consistent with the terms of this Security Agreement
         and the other Loan Documents;  provided,  however,  that such Grantor will not be entitled to exercise any
         such right if the result thereof could  materially and adversely  affect the rights inuring to a holder of
         the  Investment-Related  Property  or the rights and  remedies of any of the  Secured  Parties  under this
         Security  Agreement  or any other Loan  Document or the ability of any of the Secured  Parties to exercise
         the same.

(B)      The  Administrative  Agent  shall  execute  and  deliver  to each  Grantor,  or cause to be  executed  and
         delivered to each Grantor,  all such  proxies,  powers of attorney and other  instruments  as such Grantor
         may  reasonably  request for the purpose of enabling it to exercise the voting  and/or  consensual  rights
         and powers it is entitled to exercise  pursuant to  subsection  (c)(i)(A) and to receive the cash payments
         it is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (c)(i)(C).

(C)      Each  Grantor  shall be entitled  to  receive,  retain and use any and all cash  dividends,  interest  and
         principal paid on the  Investment-Related  Property  included in the Collateral  owned or held by it or on
         its behalf to the extent and only to the extent that such cash  dividends,  interest and principal are not
         prohibited  by, and not otherwise  paid in a manner that  violates the terms and  conditions of the Credit
         Agreement,  the  other  Loan  Documents  and  applicable  laws.  All  non-cash  dividends,   interest  and
         principal,  and all  dividends,  interest and principal paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection
         with a partial  or total  liquidation  or  dissolution,  return of  capital,  capital  surplus  or paid in
         surplus,  and all other  distributions  (other than distributions  referred to in the preceding  sentence)
         made on or in respect of the  Investment-Related  Property  included in the Collateral owned or held by it
         or on its behalf,  whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise,  whether  resulting  from a  subdivision,
         combination  or  reclassification  of the  outstanding  Equity  Interests  in any  issuer or  received  in
         exchange for any  Investment-Related  Property,  or any part thereof,  or in redemption  thereof,  or as a
         result of any merger,  consolidation,  acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be
         a party or  otherwise,  shall be and become part of the  Collateral,  and,  if  received by such  Grantor,
         shall not be  commingled  with any of its other funds or  property  but shall be held  separate  and apart
         therefrom,  shall be held in trust for the  benefit of the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder  and shall be
         forthwith  delivered  to the  Administrative  Agent in the same form as so  received  (with any  necessary
         endorsement).

(ii)     Without  limiting the  generality of the foregoing,  upon the occurrence and during the  continuance of an
Event of Default and to the extent not prohibited under the Communications Act:

(A)      All rights of each Grantor to dividends,  interest or principal that it is authorized to receive  pursuant
         to  subsection  (c)(i)(C)  shall  cease,  and  all  such  rights  shall  thereupon  become  vested  in the
         Administrative  Agent,  which shall have the sole and exclusive  right and authority to receive and retain
         such dividends,  interest or principal, as applicable.  All dividends,  interest and principal received by
         or on behalf of any Grantor  contrary to the  provisions  of this  Section  shall be held in trust for the
         benefit of the  Administrative  Agent,  shall be segregated  from other  property or funds of such Grantor
         and shall be forthwith  delivered to the Administrative  Agent upon demand in the same form as so received
         (with any  necessary  endorsement).  Any and all money and other  property paid over to or received by the
         Administrative  Agent pursuant to the provisions of this  subsection  (c)(ii)(A)  shall be retained by the
         Administrative  Agent in an account to be established  in the name of the  Administrative  Agent,  for the
         ratable  benefit  of the  Secured  Parties,  upon  receipt of such  money or other  property  and shall be
         applied in accordance  with the provisions of Section 6.2.  Subject to the  provisions of this  subsection
         (c)(ii)(A),  such account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the  Administrative
         Agent, and the Administrative  Agent shall at all times have the sole right to make withdrawals  therefrom
         and to  exercise  all rights with  respect to the funds and other  property  from time to time  therein or
         credited  thereto  as set forth in the Loan  Documents.  After all  Events of  Default  have been cured or
         waived,  the Administrative  Agent shall,  within five Business Days after all such Events of Default have
         been  cured or  waived,  repay to the  applicable  Grantor  all cash  dividends,  interest  and  principal
         (without  interest)  that such Grantor  would  otherwise  be permitted to retain  pursuant to the terms of
         subsection (c)(i)(C) and which remain in such account.

(B)      All rights of each  Grantor to  exercise  the voting and  consensual  rights and powers it is  entitled to
         exercise  pursuant  to  subsection  (c)(i)(A),  and the  obligations  of the  Administrative  Agent  under
         subsection   (c)(i)(B),   shall  cease,  and  all  such  rights  shall  thereupon  become  vested  in  the
         Administrative  Agent,  which shall have the sole and  exclusive  right and  authority  to  exercise  such
         voting and  consensual  rights and powers,  provided  that,  unless  otherwise  directed  by the  Required
         Lenders,  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  have the right  from time to time  following  and  during the
         continuance  of an Event of Default to permit such Grantor to exercise  such  rights.  After all Events of
         Default have been cured or waived,  the applicable  Grantor will have the right to exercise the voting and
         consensual  rights and powers that it would  otherwise  be  entitled to exercise  pursuant to the terms of
         subsection (c)(i)(A).

Section 3.5       Letter of Credit Rights

                  Each of the Grantors,  jointly with the other Grantors and severally,  represents and warrants to
the  Administrative  Agent and the other Secured Parties that Schedule 3.5 sets forth,  as of the Applicable  Date,
each letter of credit  giving rise to a Letter of Credit Right  included in the  Collateral  owned or held by or on
behalf of such Grantor.

Section 3.6       Intellectual Property Collateral

(a)      Representations  and  Warranties.  Each of the Grantors,  jointly with the other  Grantors and  severally,
represents  and warrants to the  Administrative  Agent and the other Secured  Parties that Schedule 3.6 sets forth,
as of the Applicable  Date, (i) all of the material  federally  registered  and material  non-federally  registered
Patents and  Trademarks,  included in the Collateral  owned or held by or on behalf of such Grantor and (ii) all of
the material federally  registered and material  non-federally  registered  Copyrights,  included in the Collateral
owned or held by or on behalf of such Grantor.

(b)      Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(i)      It will not, nor will it permit any of its licensees (or  sublicensees)  to, do any act, or omit to do any
act,  whereby any Patent  included in the  Collateral  that is material to the conduct of its  business  may become
invalidated  or dedicated  to the public,  and it shall  continue to mark any  products  covered by any such Patent
with the relevant patent number as necessary to establish and preserve its maximum rights under  applicable  patent
laws.

(ii)     It will (either  directly or through its licensees or its  sublicensees),  for each Trademark  included in
the  Collateral  (A) maintain such  Trademark in full force free from any claim of  abandonment  or invalidity  for
non-use,  (B)  maintain the quality of products and services  offered  under any such  Trademark,  (C) display such
Trademark  with  notice of  Federal or other  analogous  registration  to the extent  necessary  to  establish  and
preserve its rights under  applicable  law, and (D) not knowingly  use or knowingly  permit any of its licensees or
sublicensees  to use such Trademark in violation of any third party’s valid and legal rights,  except to the extent
that a failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii)    It will  (either  directly or through  its  licensees  or its  sublicensees),  for each work  covered by a
Copyright included in the Collateral,  continue to publish,  reproduce,  display, adopt and distribute the material
work with  appropriate  copyright notice as necessary to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable
copyright laws, except to the extent that a failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iv)     It will promptly notify the  Administrative  Agent in writing if it knows that any  Intellectual  Property
included in the Collateral may become abandoned,  lost or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse  determination
or development  (including the institution of, or any such  determination  or development in, any proceeding in the
United  States  Patent and  Trademark  Office or the United  States  Copyright  Office,  or any similar  offices or
tribunals in the United States of America)  regarding such Grantor’s  ownership of any such Intellectual  Property,
its right to register  the same,  or to keep and  maintain  the same,  except to the extent that a failure to do so
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v)      In no event shall it,  either  directly  or through any agent,  employee,  licensee or  designee,  file an
application  for any  Intellectual  Property  material to the conduct of its business with the United States Patent
and Trademark  Office,  the United States  Copyright Office or any similar offices in the United States of America,
unless, as soon as practicable,  it notifies the  Administrative  Agent in writing thereof and, upon request of the
Administrative  Agent,  executes and  delivers any and all  agreements,  instruments,  documents  and papers as the
Administrative  Agent may request to evidence the  Administrative  Agent’s security  interest in such  Intellectual
Property,  and such Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative  Agent as its  attorney-in-fact  to execute and file
such writings for the foregoing  purposes,  all acts of such attorney  being hereby  ratified and  confirmed;  such
power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

(vi)     It will take all  commercially  reasonable  steps that are consistent  with the practice in any proceeding
before the United States Patent and Trademark  Office,  the United States  Copyright  Office or any similar offices
or tribunals in the United  States of America,  to maintain and pursue each  material  application  relating to the
Intellectual  Property  included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf (and to obtain the relevant
grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registered  Trademark and Copyright  included in
the  Collateral  that is material to the conduct of its business,  including  timely  filings of  applications  for
renewal,  affidavits of use,  affidavits of  incontestability  and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent,
in  good  faith,  with  reasonable  business  judgment,  to  initiate  opposition,  interference  and  cancellation
proceedings  against  third  parties.  In the event that it has reason to believe  that any  Intellectual  Property
included in the Collateral has been or is about to be infringed,  misappropriated  or diluted by a third party,  it
shall,  as soon as  practicable,  notify the  Administrative  Agent in writing and shall,  if  consistent,  in good
faith,  with reasonable  business  judgment,  promptly sue for  infringement,  misappropriation  or dilution and to
recover any and all damages for such  infringement,  misappropriation  or dilution,  and take such other actions as
are  appropriate  under the  circumstances  to protect  such  Intellectual  Property,  except to the extent  that a
failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(vii)    During the continuance of an Event of Default,  it shall take such action as the Administrative  Agent may
reasonably  deem necessary to obtain all requisite  consents or approvals by the licensor of each License  included
in the Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf to effect the  assignment  (as collateral  security) of all
of its right, title and interest thereunder to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

(viii)   It shall take  commercially  reasonable  steps  necessary  to protect  the secrecy of all  material  Trade
Secrets used in the conduct of its business, including restricting access to such Trade Secrets.

(ix)     It shall  continue to take  commercially  reasonable  steps to collect all amounts due or to become due to
such Grantor under all material  Intellectual  Property  included in the  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its
behalf,  and  diligently  exercise each  material  right it may have  thereunder,  in each case at its own cost and
expense,  and in connection  with such  collections  and exercise,  it shall,  upon the  occurrence  and during the
continuance  of an Event of  Default,  take such  action as it or the  Administrative  Agent  may  reasonably  deem
necessary.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Administrative  Agent shall have the right at any time after the
occurrence  and during the  continuance  of an Event of Default to notify,  or require such Grantor to notify,  any
relevant obligors with respect to such amounts of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein.

Section 3.7       Commercial Tort Claims

(a)      Representations  and  Warranties.  Each of the Grantors,  jointly with the other  Grantors and  severally,
represents  and warrants to the  Administrative  Agent and the other Secured  Parties that Schedule 3.7 sets forth,
as of the Applicable Date, all Material Commercial Tort Claims.

(b)      Covenants  and  Agreements.   Each  Grantor  hereby  covenants  and  agrees  that  it  shall  provide  the
Administrative  Agent with  prompt  written  notice of each  Material  Commercial  Tort  Claim,  and any  judgment,
settlement or other disposition thereof.

Article 4.
                                                FURTHER ASSURANCES
         Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees, at its own cost and expense,  to execute,  acknowledge,  deliver
and/or cause to be duly filed all such further  agreements,  instruments and other documents  (including  favorable
legal opinions in connection with any Transaction if reasonably  required by the  Administrative  Agent),  and take
all such further  actions,  that the  Administrative  Agent may from time to time  reasonably  request to preserve,
protect and perfect the Security  Interest granted by it and the rights and remedies created hereby,  including the
payment of any fees and taxes  required in connection  with its execution and delivery of this Security  Agreement,
the  granting by it of the Security  Interest  and the filing of any  financing  statements  or other  documents in
connection  herewith or therewith.  In addition,  to the extent  permitted by applicable  law, each Grantor  hereby
irrevocably  authorizes the  Administrative  Agent to file one or more financing or  continuation  statements,  and
amendments  thereto,  relative to all or any part of the  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf  without
the signature of such Grantor and agrees that a photographic or other  reproduction  of this Security  Agreement or
of a financing  statement  signed by such Grantor shall be sufficient as a financing  statement and may be filed as
a financing  statement in any and all  jurisdictions.  Each  Grantor  hereby  further  irrevocably  authorizes  the
Administrative  Agent to file a Record or Records,  including financing  statements,  in all jurisdictions and with
all  filing  offices  that the  Administrative  Agent  may  determine,  in its sole and  absolute  discretion,  are
necessary,  advisable  or prudent to perfect the  Security  Interest  granted by it and agrees that such  financing
statements  may  describe  the  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its  behalf in the same  manner as  described
herein or may contain an indication or description  of collateral  that describes such property in any other manner
that the  Administrative  Agent may  determine,  in its sole and absolute  discretion,  is necessary,  advisable or
prudent to perfect the Security  Interest  granted by such  Grantor,  including  describing  such  property as “all
assets” or “all personal property.”

Article 5.
                                  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
         Each Grantor hereby appoints the  Administrative  Agent and any officer or agent thereof,  as its true and
lawful agent and attorney in fact for the purpose of carrying out the  provisions  of this  Security  Agreement and
taking any action and executing any  instrument  that the  Administrative  Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish  the purposes  hereof,  which  appointment  is  irrevocable  and coupled  with an interest,  and without
limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing,  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  have  the  right,  with  power of
substitution  for  such  Grantor  and in  such  Grantor’s  name or  otherwise,  for  the  use  and  benefit  of the
Administrative  Agent and the other Secured Parties,  upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and at such other time or times permitted by the Loan  Documents,  (i) to receive,  endorse,  assign and/or
deliver any and all notes,  acceptances,  checks,  drafts,  money orders or other evidences of payment  relating to
the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf or any part thereof; (ii) to demand,  collect,  receive payment
of, give receipt for, and give discharges and releases of, any of such  Collateral;  (iii) to sign the name of such
Grantor  on any  invoice  or bill of lading  relating  to any of such  Collateral;  (iv) to send  verifications  of
Receivables  owned or held by it or on its behalf to any Account Debtor;  (v) to commence and prosecute any and all
suits,  actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent  jurisdiction  to collect or otherwise
realize on any of the  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf or to enforce  any rights in respect of any
of such  Collateral;  (vi) to settle,  compromise,  compound,  adjust or defend any actions,  suits or  proceedings
relating to any of such  Collateral;  (vii) to notify,  or to require such Grantor to notify,  Account  Debtors and
other obligors to make payment directly to the  Administrative  Agent, and (viii) to use, sell,  assign,  transfer,
pledge,  make any  agreement  with respect to or otherwise  deal with any of such  Collateral,  and to do all other
acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Security  Agreement,  as fully and completely as though
the  Administrative  Agent were the absolute owner of such  Collateral for all purposes;  provided,  however,  that
nothing  herein  contained  shall be construed as requiring or  obligating  the  Administrative  Agent or any other
Secured  Party to make any  commitment  or to make any  inquiry  as to the  nature or  sufficiency  of any  payment
received by the  Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to
take any action  with  respect to any of the  Collateral  or the monies due or to become due in respect  thereof or
any property covered thereby,  and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative  Agent or any other
Secured  Party with  respect to any of the  Collateral  shall give rise to any defense,  counterclaim  or offset in
favor of such Grantor or to any claim or action against the  Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party.  The
provisions of this Article shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its  obligations  hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents with respect to any of the  Collateral or impose any  obligation on the  Administrative  Agent
or any other Secured Party to proceed in any  particular  manner with respect to any of the  Collateral,  or in any
way limit the exercise by the  Administrative  Agent or any other  Secured Party of any other or further right that
it may  have on the date of this  Security  Agreement  or  hereafter,  whether  hereunder,  under  any  other  Loan
Document,  by law or otherwise.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this  paragraph  shall be deemed to conform
to the commercially  reasonable  standards as provided in Section 9-611 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New
York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions (or any successor provisions).

Article 6.
                                               REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
Section 6.1       Remedies Generally

(a)      General  Rights.  Upon the  occurrence  and during the  continuance  of an Event of Default,  each Grantor
agrees to  deliver  each item of  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf to the  Administrative  Agent on
demand,  and it is agreed that the  Administrative  Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the  following
actions at the same or different times: (i) with respect to any Collateral  consisting of Intellectual  Property or
Commercial  Tort  Claims,  on  demand,  to cause  the  Security  Interest  to become an  assignment,  transfer  and
conveyance of any such  Collateral  by the  applicable  Grantors to the  Administrative  Agent,  or, in the case of
Intellectual  Property,  to  license or  sublicense,  whether  general,  special or  otherwise,  and  whether on an
exclusive or  non-exclusive  basis,  any such  Collateral  throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in
such manner as the  Administrative  Agent shall  determine,  unless any of the Grantor’s  obligations  set forth in
this clause (a) would  violate any  then-existing  licensing  arrangements  to the extent  that  waivers  cannot be
obtained,  (ii) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for  performance,  to take
possession of the Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf and without  liability for trespass to enter any
premises where such  Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking  possession of or removing such Collateral
and,  generally,  to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law,
and (iii)  appoint a receiver for all or any portion of the  Collateral.  Without  limiting the  generality  of the
foregoing,  each Grantor agrees that the Administrative  Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during
the  continuance  of an Event of Default,  subject to the  mandatory  requirements  of  applicable  law, to sell or
otherwise  dispose of any of the  Collateral  owned or held by or on behalf of such  Grantor,  at public or private
sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities  exchange,  for cash,  upon credit or for future delivery as the
Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate.  The Administrative Agent shall be irrevocably  authorized at any such
sale of such  Collateral  constituting  securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the  prospective
bidders or purchasers to Persons who will  represent and agree that they are purchasing  such  Collateral for their
own account for investment and not with a view to the  distribution or sale thereof,  and upon  consummation of any
such sale,  the  Administrative  Agent shall have the right to assign,  transfer  and deliver to the  purchaser  or
purchasers  thereof the  Collateral  so sold.  Each such  purchaser at any such sale shall hold the  property  sold
absolutely,  free from any claim or right on the part of the  applicable  Grantor,  and such Grantor  hereby waives
(to the extent  permitted by law) all rights of redemption,  stay,  valuation and appraisal  which such Grantor now
has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(b)      Sale of  Collateral.  The  Administrative  Agent shall give each Grantor ten days’  written  notice (which
such Grantor  agrees is reasonable  notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC as in effect in the State
of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions (or any successor  provisions)) of the Administrative  Agent’s
intention to make any sale of any of the  Collateral  owned or held by or on behalf of such  Grantor.  Such notice,
in the case of a public  sale,  shall  state  the time and  place  for such  sale  and,  in the case of a sale at a
broker’s board or on a securities exchange,  shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and
the day on which such  Collateral  will first be offered for sale at such board or  exchange.  Any such public sale
shall  be  held at such  time or  times  within  ordinary  business  hours  and at  such  place  or  places  as the
Administrative  Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale,  the  Collateral to
be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety  or in  separate  parcels,  as the  Administrative  Agent may (in its
sole and absolute  discretion)  determine.  The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
Collateral  if it shall  determine  not to do so,  regardless  of the fact that  notice of sale of such  Collateral
shall have been  given.  The  Administrative  Agent  may,  without  notice or  publication,  adjourn  any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned  from time to time by  announcement  at the time and place fixed for
sale,  and  such  sale  may,  without  further  notice,  be made at the time  and  place  to which  the same was so
adjourned.  In case any sale of any of the Collateral is made on credit or for future  delivery,  the Collateral so
sold may be  retained  by the  Administrative  Agent until the sale price is paid by the  purchaser  or  purchasers
thereof,  but the  Administrative  Agent shall not incur any  liability in case any such  purchaser  or  purchasers
shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure,  such  Collateral may be
sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent  permitted by  applicable  law,  private)  sale made
pursuant to this Section,  any Secured Party may bid for or purchase,  free (to the extent  permitted by applicable
law) from any right of  redemption,  stay,  valuation  or  appraisal  on the part of such  Grantor (all said rights
being also hereby waived and released to the extent  permitted by law), any of the Collateral  offered for sale and
may make  payment on  account  thereof by using any claim  then due and  payable  to such  Secured  Party from such
Grantor as a credit  against the purchase  price,  and such Secured  Party may, upon  compliance  with the terms of
sale,  hold,  retain and dispose of such property  without further  accountability  to such Grantor  therefor.  For
purposes  hereof,  (i) a written  agreement to purchase any of the  Collateral  shall be treated as a sale thereof,
(ii) the  Administrative  Agent  shall be free to carry  out such sale  pursuant  to such  agreement,  and (iii) no
Grantor shall be entitled to the return of any of the Collateral  subject  thereto,  notwithstanding  the fact that
after the  Administrative  Agent shall have entered into such an  agreement  all Events of Default  shall have been
remedied and the  Obligations  paid in full. As an  alternative  to exercising  the power of sale herein  conferred
upon it, the  Administrative  Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon any of the
Collateral  and to sell any of the  Collateral  pursuant  to a  judgment  or  decree  of a court or  courts  having
competent  jurisdiction  or  pursuant to a  proceeding  by a  court-appointed  receiver.  Any sale  pursuant to the
provisions  of this  Article  shall be deemed to conform to the  commercially  reasonable  standards as provided in
Part 6 of Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other  jurisdictions  (or
any successor  provisions).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  each Grantor agrees as follows: (A)
if the  proceeds of any sale of the  Collateral  owned or held by it or on its behalf  pursuant to this Article are
insufficient  to pay all the  Obligations,  it shall be liable for the resulting  deficiency and the fees,  charges
and  disbursements of any counsel employed by the  Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such
deficiency,  (B) it hereby waives any claims  against the  Administrative  Agent arising by reason of the fact that
the price at which any such  Collateral  may have been sold at any private  sale  pursuant to this Article was less
than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the  Administrative  Agent accepts the first
offer  received and does not offer such  Collateral  to more than one offeree,  (C) there is no adequate  remedy at
law for failure by it to comply with the  provisions  of this Section and that such failure would not be adequately
compensable  in damages,  and therefore  agrees that its agreements in this Section may be  specifically  enforced,
(D) the  Administrative  Agent may sell any such  Collateral  without giving any warranties as to such  Collateral,
and the  Administrative  Agent  may  specifically  disclaim  any  warranties  of  title  or the  like,  and (E) the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any such Collateral.

(c)      Authorizations.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained in any Loan Document or in any other
agreement,  instrument  or document  executed  by any  Grantor  and  delivered  to the  Administrative  Agent,  the
Administrative  Agent will not take any action  pursuant  to any Loan  Document or any other  document  referred to
above which would  constitute or result in any assignment of any  Authorization  issued by the FCC or constitute or
result in any change of control  (whether de jure or de facto) of such Grantor or any of its  subsidiaries  if such
assignment  of any such  Authorization  or change of control  would  require,  under then  existing  law, the prior
approval of the FCC without first  obtaining  such prior  approval of the FCC.  Upon the  occurrence of an Event of
Default or at any time  thereafter  during the  continuance  thereof,  such Grantor agrees to take any action which
the  Administrative  Agent  may  reasonably  request  in order to  obtain  from the FCC or any  other  Governmental
Authority  such  approval as may be  necessary  to enable the  Administrative  Agent to exercise and enjoy the full
rights  and  benefits  granted to the  Administrative  Agent by this  Security  Agreement  and the other  documents
referred to above,  including  specifically,  at the cost and expense of such  Grantor,  the use of best efforts to
assist in  obtaining  approval  of the FCC or such  other  Governmental  Authority  for any  action or  transaction
contemplated by this Security  Agreement for which such approval is or shall be required by law, and  specifically,
without limitation,  upon request, to prepare, sign and file with the FCC or such other Governmental  Authority the
assignor’s  or  transferor’s  portion  of  any  application  or  applications  for  consent  to the  assignment  of
Authorization  or  transfer  of  control  necessary  or  appropriate  under  the FCC’s or such  other  Governmental
Authority’s  rules  and  regulations  for  approval  of (i) any sale or other  disposition  of the  Pledged  Equity
Interests  or  other  Collateral  by or on  behalf  of the  Administrative  Agent,  or (ii) any  assumption  by the
Administrative  Agent of voting rights in the Pledged  Equity  Interests  effected in accordance  with the terms of
this Security  Agreement.  It is understood  and agreed that all  foreclosure  and related  actions will be made in
accordance with the Communications  Act and applicable  regulations and published policies and decisions of the FCC
(including any  requirement  that,  after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  (A) each  applicable
Grantor shall maintain the voting rights such Grantor is entitled to exercise  pursuant to Section  3.4(c)(i)(A) in
respect of such Pledged Equity  Interests and (B) with respect to any  foreclosure on the Pledged Equity  Interests
in any Subsidiary that directly or indirectly holds an FCC License,  (1) the  Administrative  Agent shall conduct a
public  (i.e.,  auction)  or private  arm’s  length  sale of such  Pledged  Equity  Interests  and (2) prior to the
exercise of any rights over such Pledged  Equity  Interests  purchased at a public or private  sale,  the purchaser
shall  obtain  prior FCC  approval  pursuant to 47 U.S.C.  §310(d)) and the  statutes,  regulations  and  published
policies and decisions enforced by such other Governmental  Authorities  pertaining to such foreclosure and related
actions.

Section 6.2       Application of Proceeds of Sale

                  The  Administrative  Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the  Collateral,
as well as any  Collateral  consisting  of cash  (except  as  otherwise  provided  in  Section  6.11 of the  Credit
Agreement), as follows:

                           FIRST,  to  the  payment  of  all  reasonable   costs  and  expenses   incurred  by  the
                  Administrative  Agent (in its  capacity as such  hereunder  or under any other Loan  Document) in
                  connection  with  such  collection  or  sale  or  otherwise  in  connection  with  this  Security
                  Agreement,  any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations,  including all out of pocket court
                  costs and the  reasonable  fees and expenses of its agents and legal  counsel,  the  repayment of
                  all advances  made by the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder  or under any other Loan  Document on
                  behalf of any  Grantor  and any other  reasonable  out-of-pocket  costs or  expenses  incurred in
                  connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

                           SECOND,  to the  payment  in full of the  Obligations  (the  amounts  so  applied  to be
                  distributed  among  the  Secured  Parties  pro  rata  in  accordance  with  the  amounts  of  the
                  Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

                           THIRD,  to  the  applicable  Grantor,  its  successors  or  assigns,  or as a  court  of
                  competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

         The  Administrative  Agent shall have sole and absolute  discretion as to the time of  application  of any
such proceeds,  monies or balances in accordance with this Security  Agreement.  Upon any sale of the Collateral by
the  Administrative  Agent  (including  pursuant  to a  power  of sale  granted  by  statute  or  under a  judicial
proceeding),  the receipt of the  purchase  money by the  Administrative  Agent or of the  officer  making the sale
shall be a sufficient  discharge to the  purchaser or purchasers  of the  Collateral so sold and such  purchaser or
purchasers  shall not be obligated  to see to the  application  of any part of the purchase  money paid over to the
Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

Section 6.3       Investment-Related Property

                  In view of the  position  of each  Grantor in  relation to the  Investment-Related  Property,  or
because of other current or future  circumstances,  a question may arise under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as now
or hereafter in effect,  or any similar statute  hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any
such similar  statute as from time to time in effect being  called the “Federal  Securities  Laws”) with respect to
any disposition of the  Investment-Related  Property permitted hereunder.  Each Grantor understands that compliance
with the Federal  Securities  Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the  Administrative  Agent if
the  Administrative  Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the  Investment-Related  Property,  and
might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any  subsequent  transferee  of any  Investment-Related
Property could dispose of the same.  Similarly,  there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the
Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the  Investment-Related  Property under applicable
Blue Sky or other state  securities  laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.  Each Grantor  recognizes
that in light of such  restrictions and limitations the  Administrative  Agent may, with respect to any sale of the
Investment-Related  Property,  limit the  purchasers to those who will agree,  among other things,  to acquire such
Investment-Related  Property for their own account,  for  investment,  and not with a view to the  distribution  or
resale thereof.  Each Grantor  acknowledges  and agrees that in light of such  restrictions  and  limitations,  the
Administrative  Agent,  in its sole and absolute  discretion,  (i) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a
registration  statement  for the purpose of  registering  such  Investment-Related  Property,  or any part thereof,
shall  have been  filed  under the  Federal  Securities  Laws and (ii) may  approach  and  negotiate  with a single
potential  purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor  acknowledges  and agrees that any such sale might result in
prices  and  other  terms  less  favorable  to the  seller  than if such  sale  were a  public  sale  without  such
restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the  Administrative  Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability
for selling all or any part of the  Investment-Related  Property at a price that the  Administrative  Agent, in its
sole and absolute  discretion,  may in good faith deem  reasonable  under the  circumstances,  notwithstanding  the
possibility  that a  substantially  higher  price might have been  realized if the sale were  deferred  until after
registration  as aforesaid or if more than a single  purchaser  were  approached.  The  provisions  of this Section
will apply  notwithstanding  the existence of a public or private  market upon which the quotations or sales prices
may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells any such Investment-Related Property.

Section 6.4       Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property

                  For the purpose of enabling the  Administrative  Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this
Article,  at such time as the  Administrative  Agent  shall be  lawfully  entitled  to  exercise  such  rights  and
remedies,  each Grantor  hereby grants,  to the extent it has the right to grant,  to the  Administrative  Agent an
irrevocable,  nonexclusive  license  (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor)
to use,  license or  sublicense  any of the  Collateral  consisting of  Intellectual  Property now owned or held or
hereafter  acquired or held by or on behalf of such  Grantor,  and wherever the same may be located,  and including
in such license  reasonable  access to all media in which any of the  licensed  items may be recorded or stored and
to all computer  software and programs used for the  compilation  or printout  thereof.  The use of such license by
the Administrative  Agent shall be exercised,  at the option of the  Administrative  Agent, upon the occurrence and
during the  continuation  of an Event of  Default;  provided  that any  license,  sublicense  or other  transaction
entered  into  by  the   Administrative   Agent  in  accordance   herewith  shall  be  binding  upon  such  Grantor
notwithstanding  any  subsequent  cure of an Event of Default.  Any  royalties and other  payments  received by the
Administrative Agent shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.2.

Section 6.5       Registration, etc.

                  Each  Grantor  agrees  that,  upon the  occurrence  and  during  the  continuance  of an Event of
Default,  if for any reason the  Administrative  Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged  Collateral owned or held
by or on behalf of such  Grantor at a public  sale,  it will,  at any time and from time to time,  upon the written
request of the  Administrative  Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause,  where  applicable,  the issuer of
such Pledged  Collateral to take such action and prepare,  distribute  and/or file such documents,  as are required
or advisable in the reasonable  opinion of counsel for the  Administrative  Agent to permit the public sale of such
Pledged Collateral.  Each Grantor further agrees to indemnify,  defend and hold harmless the Administrative  Agent,
each other Secured Party,  any underwriter and their  respective  officers,  directors,  affiliates and controlling
Persons from and against all loss,  liability,  expenses,  costs of counsel (including reasonable fees and expenses
of legal counsel),  and claims  (including the costs of investigation)  that they may incur,  insofar as such loss,
liability,  expense or claim, as applicable,  relates to such Grantor or any of its property,  and arises out of or
is based upon any alleged  untrue  statement of a material fact  contained in any  prospectus  (or any amendment or
supplement  thereto) or in any  notification  or offering  circular,  or arises out of or is based upon any alleged
omission  to state a material  fact  required  to be stated  therein or  necessary  to make the  statements  in any
thereof not misleading,  except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue  statement or omission based
upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged Collateral,  as applicable,  by
the Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein.  Each Grantor further agrees,  upon
such written  request  referred to above,  to use its best efforts to qualify,  file or register,  or cause,  where
applicable,  the issuer of such Pledged  Collateral  to qualify,  file or register,  any of the Pledged  Collateral
owned or held by or on behalf of such  Grantor  under the Blue Sky or other  securities  laws of such states as may
be  requested  by  the  Administrative  Agent  and  keep  effective,  or  cause  to be  kept  effective,  all  such
qualifications,  filings or  registrations.  Each  Grantor  will bear all costs and  expenses of  carrying  out its
obligations  under this Section.  Each Grantor  acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by
it to comply with the  provisions  of this Section and that such failure  would not be  adequately  compensable  in
damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section may be specifically enforced.

Article 7.
                                       REIMBURSEMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
         Each Grantor agrees,  jointly with the other Grantors and severally,  to pay to the  Administrative  Agent
the amount of any and all  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses,  including the reasonable  fees,  other charges and
disbursements of counsel and of any experts or agents,  that the Administrative  Agent may incur in connection with
(i) the  administration  of this  Security  Agreement  relating to such  Grantor or any of its  property,  (ii) the
custody or  preservation  of, or the sale of,  collection  from, or other  realization  upon, any of the Collateral
owned or held by or on behalf of such Grantor,  (iii) the exercise,  enforcement or protection of any of the rights
of the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder  relating to such Grantor or any of its  property,  or (iv) the failure by
such  Grantor to perform or  observe  any of the  provisions  hereof.  Without  limitation  of its  indemnification
obligations  under the other Loan  Documents,  each of the Grantors  agrees,  jointly  with the other  Grantors and
severally,  to indemnify the  Administrative  Agent and the other  Indemnitees  against,  and hold each  Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities and related  out-of-pocket  expenses,  including
reasonable  counsel fees, other charges and  disbursements,  incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising
out of, in any way  connected  with,  or as a result of (a) the  execution  or  delivery  by such  Grantor  of this
Security  Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument  contemplated  hereby or thereby,  or
the  performance  by  such  Grantor  of its  obligations  under  the  Loan  Documents  and the  other  transactions
contemplated  thereby or (b) any claim,  litigation,  investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto,  provided that such  indemnity  shall not, as to any  Indemnitee,
be available to the extent that such losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities or related expenses are determined by a
court of competent  jurisdiction by final and nonappealable  judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  Any amounts payable as provided  hereunder shall be additional  Obligations
secured hereby and by the other Security  Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall remain  operative and in
full force and effect  regardless of the  termination of this Security  Agreement or any other Loan  Document,  the
consummation of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or thereby,  the repayment of any of the  Obligations,  the
invalidity or  unenforceability  of any term or provision of this Security  Agreement or any other Loan Document or
any  investigation  made by or on behalf of the  Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due
under this Section  shall be payable  within ten days of written  demand  therefor  and shall bear  interest at the
rate specified in Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement.

Article 8.
                                                WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS
         No failure or delay of the  Administrative  Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver  thereof,  nor shall any single or partial  exercise of any such right or power,  or any abandonment or
discontinuance  of steps to enforce such a right or power,  preclude any other or further  exercise  thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the  Administrative  Agent and the other  Secured
Parties  hereunder  and under the other  Loan  Documents  are  cumulative  and are not  exclusive  of any rights or
remedies that they would  otherwise  have. No waiver of any provision of this Security  Agreement or any other Loan
Document or consent to any  departure  by any Grantor  therefrom  shall in any event be  effective  unless the same
shall be  permitted  by this  Section,  and then such waiver or consent  shall be  effective  only in the  specific
instance  and for the purpose for which  given.  No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall  entitle such
Grantor  to any other or  further  notice or  demand in  similar  or other  circumstances.  Neither  this  Security
Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,  amended,  supplemented or otherwise  modified,  or any departure
therefrom  consented to,  except  pursuant to an agreement or  agreements  in writing  entered into by,  between or
among the  Administrative  Agent and the Grantor or Grantors  with respect to which such waiver,  amendment,  other
modification  or consent is to apply,  subject to any  consent  required in  accordance  with  Section  10.2 of the
Credit Agreement.

Article 9.
                                            SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE
         All rights of the  Administrative  Agent  hereunder,  the Security  Interest and all  obligations  of each
Grantor  hereunder shall be absolute and  unconditional  irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of the Credit  Agreement,  any other Loan Document,  any agreement with respect to any of the  Obligations,  or any
other  agreement or instrument  relating to any of the foregoing,  (ii) any change in the time,  manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations,  or any other waiver, amendment,  supplement or
other  modification of, or any consent to any departure from, the Credit Agreement,  any other Loan Document or any
other  agreement or instrument  relating to any of the  foregoing,  (iii) except as otherwise  expressly  permitted
under the Loan Documents or effected pursuant thereto,  any exchange,  release or non-perfection of any Lien on any
other collateral,  or any release or waiver,  amendment,  supplement or other modification of, or consent under, or
departure  from,  any  guaranty,  securing  or  guaranteeing  all or any of the  Obligations,  or  (iv)  any  other
circumstance  that might otherwise  constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of
the Obligations or in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document.



Article 10.
                                               TERMINATION; RELEASE

         This Security  Agreement and the Security  Interest shall terminate when all  Commitments  have expired or
otherwise  terminated  and all  Obligations  have been  finally  and  indefeasibly  paid in full and all Letters of
Credit have expired and all LC  Disbursements  have been reimbursed.  Upon the  effectiveness of any release of the
Security  Interest in any Collateral  pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Credit  Agreement,  the Security  Interest in
such Collateral shall be automatically  released.  Upon any Transfer of Collateral  permitted by the Loan Documents
to a Person (other than a Loan Party),  the Security  Interest in such Collateral shall be  automatically  released
(other than to the extent any such Transfer of such  Collateral  would,  immediately  after giving effect  thereto,
result in the receipt by such Grantor of any other  property  (whether in the form of Proceeds or  otherwise)  that
would,  but for the release of the Security  Interest therein pursuant to this clause,  constitute  Collateral,  in
which event the Lien created  hereunder shall continue in such other property  received).  In addition,  if (i) any
of the Pledged Equity Interests in any Subsidiary are Transferred  pursuant to a transaction  permitted by the Loan
Documents to a Person (other than a Loan Party) and,  immediately  after giving  effect  thereto,  such  Subsidiary
would no longer be a Subsidiary or (ii) if any Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted  Subsidiary  pursuant to
Section 10.14 of the Credit  Agreement,  then the obligations of such Subsidiary under this Security  Agreement and
the Security  Interest in the  Collateral  owned or rights in  Collateral  held by or on behalf of such  Subsidiary
shall be  automatically  released.  In connection  with any  termination or release  pursuant to this Section,  the
Administrative  Agent shall execute and deliver to the applicable  Grantor, at such Grantor’s own cost and expense,
all Uniform  Commercial Code termination  statements and similar documents that such Grantor may reasonably request
to evidence such  termination  or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents  pursuant to this Article shall
be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

Article 11.
                                                ADDITIONAL GRANTORS
         Upon  execution  and  delivery  after  the  date  hereof  by the  Administrative  Agent  and a  Restricted
Subsidiary of a Supplement,  such Restricted  Subsidiary  shall become a Grantor  hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally  named as a Grantor  herein (each an “Additional  Grantor”).  The execution and delivery of
any Supplement  shall not require the consent of any other Grantor  hereunder.  The rights and  obligations of each
Grantor  hereunder and each other Loan Party and other party (other than a Credit  Party) under the Loan  Documents
shall remain in full force and effect  notwithstanding  the addition of any  Additional  Grantor as a party to this
Security Agreement.

Article 12.
                                                      NOTICES
         All  communications  and notices  hereunder  shall be in writing and given as provided in Section  10.1 of
the Credit Agreement.  All communications  and notices hereunder to the Administrative  Agent or the Borrower shall
be given to it at its address for notices set forth in such Section,  and all  communications and notices hereunder
to any other Grantor shall be given to it c/o the Borrower at such address.



Article 13.
                                  BINDING EFFECT; SEVERAL AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS
         Whenever in this Security  Agreement  any of the parties  hereto is referred to, such  reference  shall be
deemed to include the  successors and assigns of such party,  and all  covenants,  promises and agreements by or on
behalf of any Grantor that are  contained in this  Security  Agreement  shall bind and inure to the benefit of each
party hereto and its  successors  and assigns.  This Security  Agreement  shall become  effective as to any Grantor
when a  counterpart  hereof  executed on behalf of such Grantor  shall have been  delivered  to the  Administrative
Agent and a  counterpart  hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the  Administrative  Agent,  and  thereafter
shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Administrative  Agent and their respective  successors and assigns,  and
shall inure to the benefit of such  Grantor,  the  Administrative  Agent and the other Secured  Parties,  and their
respective  successors  and  assigns,  except  that no  Grantor  shall  have the  right to  assign  its  rights  or
obligations  hereunder or any interest herein or in any of the Collateral (and any such attempted  assignment shall
be void),  except as expressly  contemplated by this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  This Security
Agreement  shall be  construed  as a separate  agreement  with  respect to each of the Grantors and may be amended,
supplemented,  waived or otherwise  modified or released  with  respect to any Grantor  without the approval of any
other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Article 14.
                                        SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY
         All  covenants,  agreements,  representations  and  warranties  made  by the  Grantors  herein  and in the
certificates or other instruments  prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Security  Agreement
or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the  Administrative  Agent and the other
Secured  Parties and shall  survive the  execution  and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loan or
issuance of any Letter of Credit,  regardless of any investigation  made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf,
and shall continue in full force and effect until this Security  Agreement  shall  terminate.  In the event any one
or more of the  provisions  contained  in this  Security  Agreement  or in any other Loan  Document  should be held
invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  in any respect,  the validity,  legality and  enforceability  of the remaining
provisions  contained  herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired  thereby (it being understood
that the invalidity of a particular  provision in a particular  jurisdiction  shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other  jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good faith  negotiations  to
replace the invalid,  illegal or unenforceable  provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes
as close as possible to that of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Article 15.
                                                   GOVERNING LAW
         THIS SECURITY  AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.

Article 16.
                                                   COUNTERPARTS
         This Security  Agreement may be executed in  counterparts  (and by different  parties  hereto on different
counterparts),  each of  which  shall  constitute  an  original,  but all of  which,  when  taken  together,  shall
constitute  but one  contract  (subject  to Article  13),  and shall  become  effective  as provided in Article 13.
Delivery of an executed  counterpart of this Security Agreement by facsimile  transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

Article 17.
                                                     HEADINGS
         Article and Section  headings  used herein are for  convenience  of reference  only,  are not part of this
Security Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into  consideration in interpreting,  this
Security Agreement.

Article 18.
                                JURISDICTION; VENUE; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
         Each  Grantor  hereby  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  submits,  for  itself and its  property,  to the
nonexclusive  jurisdiction  of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in
New York City,  and any appellate  court from any thereof,  in any action or proceeding  arising out of or relating
to this Security  Agreement or the other Loan  Documents,  or for  recognition or enforcement of any judgment,  and
each of the parties  hereto  hereby  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  agrees  that,  to the extent  permitted  by
applicable  law, all claims in respect of any such action or  proceeding  may be heard and  determined  in such New
York State court or, to the extent  permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final  judgment in any such action or  proceeding  shall be  conclusive  and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions  by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Security  Agreement
shall affect any right that the  Administrative  Agent or any other Secured  Party may otherwise  have to bring any
action or proceeding  relating to this Security  Agreement or the other Loan Documents  against such Grantor or any
of its property in the courts of any jurisdiction.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally  waives, to
the fullest  extent it may legally and  effectively  do so, any objection  that it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit,  action or  proceeding  arising out of or relating to this  Security  Agreement or the
other Loan  Documents  in any  foregoing  court  referred to in this  Article.  Each of the parties  hereto  hereby
irrevocably  waives,  to the fullest extent  permitted by applicable law, the defense of an  inconvenient  forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party hereto  irrevocably  consents to service
of process in the manner  provided for notices in Article 12.  Nothing in this Security  Agreement  will affect the
right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Article 19.
                                                  SAVINGS CLAUSE
         This  Security  Agreement is an amendment  and  restatement  of the terms and  conditions  of the Existing
Parent Security  Agreement,  the Existing Borrower Security  Agreement and the security  provisions of the Existing
Subsidiary  Guaranty and is not intended and should not be  construed as in any way  extinguishing  or  terminating
the  Obligations  or the  security  interest  granted  under any of the Existing  Parent  Security  Agreement,  the
Existing Borrower Security Agreement or the Existing Subsidiary Guaranty.

Article 20.
                                               WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
         EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY  WAIVES,  TO THE FULLEST  EXTENT  PERMITTED BY  APPLICABLE  LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL  BY  JURY IN  RESPECT  OF ANY  LITIGATION  DIRECTLY  OR  INDIRECTLY  ARISING  OUT OF,  UNDER  OR IN
CONNECTION  WITH THIS  SECURITY  AGREEMENT.  EACH  PARTY  HERETO (I)  CERTIFIES  THAT NO  REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS  REPRESENTED,  EXPRESSLY OR  OTHERWISE,  THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,  SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II)  ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS  SECURITY  AGREEMENT  BY, AMONG OTHER  THINGS,  THE MUTUAL  WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS ARTICLE.

severance in an amount equal to the base salary  Executive  would  otherwise  have received for nine (9) months and
(2)  professional  outplacement  assistance  for twelve (12)  consecutive  months.  In the event that  Executive is
terminated and such  termination is without Cause (provided  that, for purposes of this sentence only,  termination
resulting  from  Executive’s  death or  Disability,  as defined in Section 4.2 hereof,  shall not be considered for
“Cause”),  and  notwithstanding  anything in the applicable  Stock Option Grant to the contrary:  (a) those certain
options  granted to Executive on December 14, 2001,  with a purchase price per share of $22.42,  shall be deemed to
have vested in eight (8) equal  installments  commencing as of December 14, 2002 (i.e.  12.5% per year),  (b) those
certain  options  granted to Executive on September 11, 2003,  with a purchase price per share of $30.00,  shall be

this Agreement;  (viii) disloyalty;  and (ix) material and repeated failure to carry out reasonably assigned duties
or instructions consistent with Executive’s position.

         5. EXECUTIVE’S OBLIGATIONS

         5.1  Confidential  Information.  Executive  agrees that,  during the Term or at any time  thereafter:  (a)
Executive  shall not use for any purpose other than the duly  authorized  business of Employer,  or disclose to any
third party,  any  information  relating to Employer or any of its  affiliated  companies  which is  proprietary to
Employer or any of its affiliated  companies  ("Confidential  Information"),  including any customer list,  contact
information,  rate  schedules,  programming,  data,  plans,  intellectual  property,  trade  secrets or any written
(including  in any  electronic  form)  or oral  communication  incorporating  Confidential  Information  in any way
(except as may be required by law or in the  performance of  Executive’s  duties under this  Memorandum  consistent
with Employer's  policies)  regardless of whether or not such information has been labeled as  “confidential”;  and
(b)  Executive  shall comply with any and all  confidentiality  obligations  of Employer to a third party,  whether
arising under a written agreement or otherwise.

         5.2 Work For  Hire.  (a) The  results  and  proceeds  of  Executive’s  services  to  Employer,  including,
without  limitation,  any works of authorship  resulting from Executive’s  services during  Executive’s  employment
with Employer  and/or any of its  affiliated  companies  and any works in progress  resulting  from such  services,
shall be  works-made-for-hire  and Employer shall be deemed the sole owner of any and all rights of every nature in
such works,  whether such rights are now known or hereafter defined or discovered,  with the right to use the works
in perpetuity in any manner Employer  determines in its sole  discretion  without any further payment to Executive.
If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds are not legally deemed a  work-made-for-hire  and/or there are
any rights in such  results  and  proceeds  which do not accrue to  Employer  under the  preceding  sentence,  then
Executive  hereby  irrevocably  assigns and agrees to assign any and all of Executive’s  right,  title and interest
thereto,  whether now known or hereafter  defined or discovered,  and Employer shall have the right to use the work
in perpetuity in any location and in any manner  Employer  determines  in its sole  discretion  without any further
payment to Executive.

         (b)  Executive  shall do any and all things  which  Employer  may deem useful or desirable to establish or
document  Employer's  rights in any such results and  proceeds,  including,  without  limitation,  the execution of
appropriate  copyright,  trademark and/or patent  applications,  assignments or similar documents and, if Executive
is unavailable or unwilling to execute such  documents,  Executive  hereby  irrevocably  designates the President &
Chief  Executive  Officer of Employer or his  designee as  Executive’s  attorney-in-fact  with the power to execute
such  documents  on  Executive’s  behalf.  To the extent  Executive  has any rights in the results and  proceeds of
Executive’s  services under this Memorandum that cannot be assigned as described above,  Executive  unconditionally
and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights.

         (c)  Works-made-for-hire  do not include subject matter that meets all of the following  criteria:  (1) is
conceived,  developed  and created by Executive on  Executive’s  own time without  using the  Employer’s  equipment
(other than the personal  computer  regularly  used by  Employer),  supplies or  facilities or any trade secrets of
confidential  information,  (2) is  unrelated  to the actual or  reasonably  anticipated  business or research  and
development  of Employer of which  Executive is or becomes  aware;  and (3) does not result from any work performed
by Executive for Employer.

         5.3 Return of Property.  All documents,  data, recordings,  equipment or other property,  whether tangible
or intangible,  including all information  stored in electronic form,  obtained or prepared by or for Executive and
utilized by Executive in the course of  Executive’s  employment  with Employer or any of its  affiliated  companies
shall remain the exclusive  property of Employer.  Upon termination of employment,  Executive shall promptly return
all of Employer’s property to Employer.

            5.4  Use of  Executive’s  Name,  Image  and  Likeness.  Employer  may  make  use of  Executive’s  name,
photograph,  drawing or other likeness in connection  with the  advertising or the giving of publicity to Employer,
Salem  Communications  or a program  broadcast  or  content  provided  by  Employer,  Salem  Communications  or any
affiliated companies. In such regard,  Employer may make recordings,  transcriptions,  videotapes,  films and other
reproductions  of any and all actions  performed  by  Executive in his or her capacity as an Executive of Employer,
including without limitation any voice-over or announcing material provided by Executive  (collectively  “Executive
Performances”).  Employer  shall  have the  right to  broadcast,  display,  license,  assign  or use any  Executive
Performances on a royalty-free basis without additional compensation payable to Executive.

         6.       PERSONAL  CONDUCT.  Executive  agrees to  promptly  and  faithfully  comply  with all present and
future  policies,  requirements,  directions,  requests and rules and  regulations  of Employer in connection  with
Employer’s  business,  including without limitation the policies and requirements set forth in Employer’s  Employee
Handbook  and Code of  Ethical  Conduct.  Executive  further  agrees  to  comply  with  all  laws  and  regulations
pertaining to  Executive’s  employment  with Employer.  Executive  hereby agrees not to engage in any activity that
is in direct conflict with the essential  interests of the Business.  Executive  hereby  acknowledges  that nothing
set forth in the Employee  Handbook or the Code of Ethical  Conduct or any other policy issued by Employer shall be
deemed to create a separate contractual obligation, guarantee or inducement between Executive and Employer.

         7.       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         7.1      Venue;  Choice of Law.  Regardless of where it is signed,  this Memorandum  shall be deemed to be
an agreement made in the city and state where  Executive’s  principal work area or office is located  (“Venue”) and
shall be  interpreted as an agreement to be performed  wholly in the State where the Venue is located.  The laws of
the State where the Venue is located shall be applied without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws.

         7.2      Resolution  of  Disputes.  Employer  and  Executive  mutually  agree to resolve any and all legal
claims  arising from or in any way or relating to Executive’s  employment  with Employer  through  mediation or, if
mediation  does not resolve the claim or dispute  within ten (10) days of notice  demanding  mediation,  by binding
arbitration   under  the  Federal   Arbitration   Act  subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions   provided   below.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  insured workers  compensation  claims (other than wrongful  discharge  claims) and
claims for  unemployment  insurance are excluded from arbitration  under this Memorandum.  This Memorandum does not
prevent the filing of charges with  administrative  agencies such as the Equal Employment  Opportunity  Commission,
the National Labor Relations  Board, or equivalent state agencies.  Arbitration  shall be conducted in the Venue in
accordance  with either of the  following,  at  Executive’s  election:  (a) the American  Arbitration  Association:
Employment  Rules of Procedure,  (b) the Rules of Procedure for Christian  Conciliation  sponsored by the Christian
Legal Society,  or (c) the rules of procedure issued by another  alternative  dispute  resolution  service mutually
acceptable  to Executive and  Employer.  Any award issued in accordance  with this Section 7.2 shall be rendered as
a  judgment  in any  trial  court  having  competent  jurisdiction.  Employer  shall pay the  arbitration  fees and
expenses,  less any filing fee amount that Executive would otherwise have to pay to pursue a comparable  lawsuit in
a United States  district court in the  jurisdiction  where the dispute  arises or state court in the  jurisdiction
where the dispute  arises,  whichever is less. All other rights,  remedies,  exhaustion  requirements,  statutes of
limitation and defenses  applicable to claims asserted in a court of law will apply in the  arbitration.  Executive
expressly  waives any  presumption  or rule,  if any,  which  requires  this  Memorandum  to be  construed  against
Employer.

         7.3      Injunctive  Relief.  Employer has entered into this  Memorandum in order to obtain the benefit of
Executive’s  unique skills,  talent,  and experience.  Executive  acknowledges and agrees that any violation of one
or more  subsections  of  Section  4 of this  Memorandum  will  result in  irreparable  damage  to  Employer,  and,
accordingly,  Employer may obtain  injunctive  and other  equitable  relief for any breach or threatened  breach of
such  sections,  in addition to any other  remedies  available to Employer,  without being required to prove actual
damages, post bond or furnish other security.

         7.4      Integration.  This Memorandum  comprises the entire  understanding of the parties with respect to
the subject matter and shall supersede all other prior written or oral  agreements,  including  without  limitation
that certain employment agreement entered into by and between Employer and Executive as of September 15, 2000.

         7.5      Amendments  and  Waivers.  No term  or  provision  of this  Memorandum  may be  amended,  waived,
discharged  or  terminated  orally  but only by an  instrument  in  writing  signed by the party  against  whom the
enforcement of such amendment,  waiver,  discharge or termination is sought.  Any waiver shall be effective only in
accordance  with its express terms and  conditions.  Notwithstanding  anything in this  Memorandum to the contrary,
no person  other than the  President & Chief  Executive  Officer of  Employer  has the  capacity  to amend,  waive,
discharge or terminate  the  provisions  of Section 2 relating to the “at will” nature of  Executive’s  employment,
and then, such action may only be taken in writing.

         7.6      Severability.  If any  portion  of this  Memorandum  shall  be held to be  illegal,  invalid,  or
unenforceable  in any  respect,  such  invalidity,  illegality,  or  unenforceability  shall not  affect  any other
provision hereof, and this Memorandum shall be construed as if such invalid,  illegal,  or unenforceable  provision
had never been contained herein.  Additionally,  in lieu of each such illegal,  invalid or unenforceable provision,
there shall be added  automatically  as part of this Memorandum a provision as similar to such former  provision as
shall be legal, valid and enforceable.

         6.7      Survival;  Modification  of Terms.  No  change in  Executive’s  duties  or salary  shall  affect,
alter, or otherwise release  Executive from the covenants and agreements  contained  herein.  All  post-termination
covenants,  agreements,  representations  and warranties  made herein by Executive  shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Memorandum or employment  under this Memorandum in accordance with their  respective  terms and
conditions.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Memorandum effective as of October 1, 2003.
