(A)           any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
 
(B)           the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more generally applicable policies of the L/C Issuer not implemented in contemplation of such proposed Letter of Credit;

(D)           such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or
 
(E)           a default of any Lender's obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer's risk with respect to such Lender.
 
(iv)           The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
 
(v)           The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
 
(vi)           The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
 
(b)           Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
 
(i)           Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.
 
(ii)           Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
 
(iii)           Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
 
(c)           Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
 
(i)           Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than the delivery of a Revolving Loan Notice).  Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
 
(ii)           Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
 
(iii)           With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
 
(iv)           Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
 
(v)           Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Revolving Loan Notice).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
 
(vi)           If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)           Repayment of Participations.
 
(i)           At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender's L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
 
(ii)           If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)           Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
 
(i)           any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
 
(ii)           the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
 
(iii)           any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
 
(iv)           any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
 
(v)           any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
 
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
 
(f)           Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
 
(g)           Cash Collateral.  Upon (a) the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing hereunder, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (b) the occurrence of a Default or (c) the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 2.06(a)(ii) or Section 10.19(a)(ii) requiring the Borrower to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, then the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the L/C Obligations (or in the case of clause (c) above, the excess amount required pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(ii) or Section 10.19(a)(ii) ) and such cash will be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder in a Cash Collateral Account to be established by the Administrative Agent, and during the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, upon the request of the Majority Lenders, apply such amounts so held to the payment of such outstanding Obligations; provided that on a date upon which no Default exists and no L/C Obligations remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Borrower, will duly release the cash held hereunder as security in any Cash Collateral Account and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the Borrower (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such cash as is then being released and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(h)           Applicability of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
 
(i)           Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans (as in effect from time to time during the period of calculation thereof) (the "Letter of Credit Fee") times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Letter of Credit Fee shall be equal to the Default Rate.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.
 
(j)           Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letters, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
 
(k)           Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
 
 


5432462v.2 25690/684
 
24
 
 
(l)           Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
 
2.04           Reduction and Termination of Commitments.
 
(a)           Voluntary.  The Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, without premium or penalty, by an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided, however that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayment of Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments which are made on the effective date of such termination or reduction (x) the then outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments plus the amount of the then outstanding L/C Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment then in effect or (y) the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; and provided further that once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be increased. No voluntary termination or reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be effective unless the Mission Borrower makes a concurrent ratable reduction to the Mission Aggregate Revolving Commitment.
 
(b)           Mandatory.  The Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be automatically and immediately reduced without notice to the Borrower or any other Credit Party:
 
(i)           on such date and by the amount of any prepayment required to be made under any of Sections 2.06 (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) or Sections 10.19(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) (without duplication) that is applied to prepay the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of Section 2.06 or Section 10.19, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there exists no Default at such time, no such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment will be made with respect to any prepayment required to be made under Section 10.19(g), and
 
(ii)           on such date that any prepayment is required to be made under any of Sections 2.06(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) or Sections 10.19(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) and the Outstanding Amount of the Term B Loans is zero (or has been reduced to zero by such prepayment), such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment to be in such amount of the Net Cash Proceeds, Net Debt Proceeds, Net Issuance Proceeds and/or Extraordinary Receipts, as applicable, that are not applied to prepay the Term B Loans but would have been if the Outstanding Amount of such Term B Loans was in excess of such proceeds, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there exists no Default at such time, no such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment will be made with respect to any prepayment required to be made under Section 10.19(g); and
 


(c)           Commitment Reductions, Generally.  Once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be increased.  Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied pro rata to each Lender's Revolving Commitment.  All accrued commitment and letter of credit fees to the effective date of any reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of any such reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.
 
2.05           Voluntary Prepayments.
 
(a)           The Borrower may, prior to 11:00 a.m., upon at least three Business Days' written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and prior to 9:00 a.m., upon two Business Days' written notice on any Business Day in the case of Base Rate Loans, prepay Revolving Loans and/or Term B Loans, as the Borrower may elect, in whole or in part, in amounts of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.
 
(b)           Any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether the prepayment is to be made with respect to Revolving Loans and/or Term B Loans and the Type of Loans to be prepaid.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each affected Lender thereof and of such Lender's pro rata portion of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower and not withdrawn, the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and the amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 3.05; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a prepayment in full) shall instead be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date.
 
(c)           Any prepayment of Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of Term B Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.07(a) pro rata (based on the then remaining amounts of such remaining installments).
 
2.06           Mandatory Prepayments.
 
(a)
 
(i)           If on any date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments, plus the outstanding L/C Obligations (to the extent not Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) below or as provided for in Section 2.03(g)) exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the amount of such excess.  Any payments on Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(a)(i) shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders with Revolving Commitments.
 


(ii)           If on any date the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations shall exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize on such date an amount equal to the excess of the L/C Obligations over the Letter of Credit Commitment.
 
(iii)           If on any date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans made under an Incremental Facility exceeds the aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments relating to such Incremental Facility, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the amount of such excess.  Any payments on Incremental Revolving Loans made under an Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.06(a)(iii) shall be applied  pro rata among the applicable Incremental Revolving Lenders having Incremental Revolving Commitments with respect to such Incremental Facility.
 
(b)
 
(i)           If on any date any Nexstar Entity shall make any Disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition shall be applied on such date to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans, provided that with respect to no more than $2,000,000 in the aggregate of the Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with any Disposition, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied if no Default then exists and, provided further, that this requirement for mandatory prepayment will be further reduced to the extent that the Borrower elects, as hereinafter provided, to attempt to cause some or all of such Net Cash Proceeds to be reinvested in Reinvestment Assets.  The Borrower may elect to attempt to cause some or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from a Disposition to be reinvested in Reinvestment Assets during the Reinvestment Period (a "Reinvestment Election") if (x) no Default exists on the date of such Reinvestment Election and (y) such Reinvestment Election is made by the delivery of a Reinvestment Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the date of the consummation of such Disposition, with such Reinvestment Election being effective with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition equal to the Anticipated Reinvestment Amount specified in such Reinvestment Notice.
 
(ii)           Nothing in this Section 2.06 (b) shall be deemed to permit any Disposition not otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
 
(iii)           On the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to a Reinvestment Election, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount, if any, for such Reinvestment Election shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans.
 
(c)           Within 90 days after any Nexstar Entity receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event and the collection of the proceeds thereof) shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans; provided that so long as no Default then exists, this requirement for mandatory prepayment shall be reduced by any amounts (i) actually applied on or before such 90th day or (ii) committed in writing on or before such 90th day to be applied to the replacement or restoration of the assets subject to such Recovery Event within 365 days after such Recovery Event and; provided further that with respect to no more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate of the proceeds received from any Recovery Event, the proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied if no Default then exists.
 
(d)           On each date which is 90 days after the last day of each Fiscal Year commencing with the Fiscal Year ending on December 31, 2005, an amount equal to 75% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for such Fiscal Year shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans; provided that (A) if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of each of the last two consecutive Fiscal Quarters during such Fiscal Year is equal to or less than 5.50:1.00, an amount equal to 50%, and not 75%, of the Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for such Fiscal Year shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans, and (B) if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio on the last day of each of the last two consecutive Fiscal Quarters during such Fiscal Year is equal to or less than 4.50:1.00, then no payment in respect of such Fiscal Year shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) and, provided further that with respect to each Fiscal Year, the amount which would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) may be reduced by $2,000,000 so long as no Default exists on such 90th day.
 
(e)           On the Business Day after the date of the receipt by any Nexstar Entity of Net Issuance Proceeds from any sale or issuance of Capital Stock (including the Permitted Parent Preferred Equity described in Section 7.05(j)) or cash capital contribution other than Excluded Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans, in an amount equal to 50% of such Net Issuance Proceeds, provided so long as no Default exists on the date of such issuance, the amount of the prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.06(e) shall be reduced to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Net Issuance Proceeds are used or to be used in connection with an Acquisition made in accordance with the terms of Section 7.04 (including by waiver or consent) which a Nexstar Entity commits to in writing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (or similar agreement) within six months after the date of such issuance; provided further that at any time after the expiration of such six month period, if (A) the definitive agreement executed in connection with any such Acquisition is terminated, expires or otherwise becomes ineffective prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, (B) the Borrower is no longer pursuing the consummation of the Acquisition in good faith or (C) such Acquisition is not consummated within 18 months from the date the Nexstar Entity committed in writing to such Acquisition, then the amount of prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.06(e) shall be increased by the amount of such Net Issuance Proceeds that were not used to consummate such Acquisition; and provided further that during the existence of a Default, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Issuance Proceeds.

(f)           If on any date any Nexstar Entity shall incur or issue any Indebtedness (other than (x) the Permitted Parent Preferred Equity described in Section 7.05(j) and (y) Indebtedness described in subsections (a) - (d), (f) - (i) of Section 7.05), then on each such date of incurrence or issuance an amount equal to the amount of the Net Debt Proceeds received with respect to such Indebtedness shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans; provided that so long as no Default exists on the date of such incurrence or issuance, the amount of the prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.06(f) shall be reduced to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Net Debt Proceeds are used or to be used in connection with an Acquisition made in accordance with Section 7.04 (including by waiver or consent) which a Nexstar Entity commits to in writing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (or similar agreement) within six months after the date of such incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness; provided further that at any time after the expiration of such six month period, if (A) the definitive agreement executed in connection with any such Acquisition is terminated, expires or otherwise becomes ineffective prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, (B) the Borrower is no longer pursuing the consummation of the Acquisition in good faith or (C) such Acquisition is not consummated within 18 months from the date the Nexstar Entity committed in writing to such Acquisition, then the amount of prepayments required to be made under this Section 2.06(f) shall be increased by the amount of such Net Debt Proceeds that were not used to consummate such Acquisition.
 
(g)           Intentionally Omitted.
 
(h)           The Borrower shall pay, together with each prepayment under this Section 2.06, accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a prepayment in full) shall instead be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date.
 
(i)           Any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.06 made on a day other than an Interest Payment Date for any Loan shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to Eurodollar Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining.
 
(j)           Any prepayment of Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of Term B Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.07(a), pro rata (based on the then remaining amounts of such remaining installments).
 
(k)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.06, any Term B Lender may elect, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the receipt thereof, not to receive its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment that would otherwise be payable to such Term B Lender pursuant to this Section 2.06, whereupon such portion shall be reallocated to prepay the outstanding principal amount of all Term B Loans and Revolving Loans other than the Term B Loans held by such Term B Lender and any other Term B Lender that has elected not to receive its pro rata portion of such mandatory prepayment, on a pro rata basis among such Loans.
 
2.07           Repayment of Loans.
 
(a)           The Term B Loans.  The Term B Loans shall mature, and the outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), on the Stated Term B Maturity Date.  In addition, on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter (or, in the case of the final principal installment to be repaid in Fiscal Year 2012, on the Stated Term B Maturity Date), commencing on December 30, 2005, the Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable, a quarterly principal installment on the Term B Loans in an amount equal to 0.25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Term B Loan Balance on December 30, 2005 (immediately prior to the installment payable on such date); provided that the final principal installment in the amount of the then unpaid principal amount of the Term B Loans, together with all unpaid Obligations accrued in connection with such Term B Loans, shall be due on the Stated Term B Maturity Date.
 
(b)           Application of Term B Loan Payments.  Subject to Section 2.06(k) and Section 10.19(k), any payment made on Term B Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07, Section 2.05, Section 2.06 or Section 10.19 shall be applied pro rata to each Lender's Term B Loans in accordance with such Lender's Term B Facility Percentage.
 
(c)           The Revolving Loans.  Each Revolving Loan shall mature, and the outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Stated Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(e)           Application of Revolving Loan Payments.  Any payment made on Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07, Section 2.05, Section 2.06 or Section 10.19 shall be applied pro rata to each Lender's Revolving Loans in accordance with such Lender's Revolving Facility Percentage.
 
2.08           Interest.
 
(a)           Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.
 
(b)
 
(i)           If (A) any amount of principal of any Loan, or any regularly scheduled amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, is not paid in full when due (subject to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, or (B) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all amounts bearing interest hereunder shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, but in no event in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.
 
(ii)           If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (subject to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then all amounts bearing interest hereunder shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, but in no event in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate.

(c)           Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
 
2.09           Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:

5432462v.2 25690/684
 
26
 
 
 
(b)           Other Fees.
 
(i)           The Borrower shall pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Managers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
 
(ii)           The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10           Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of commitment fees, and interest payable in respect of Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America's "prime rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365 day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
2.11           Evidence of Debt.
 
(a)           The Credit Events made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Events made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Loan Note and/or a Term B Loan Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender's Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
 
(b)           In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
 
2.12           Payments Generally; Administrative Agent's Clawback.
 
(a)           General.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its share, if any, of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue to (but excluding) such next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead come due on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
(b)
 
(i)           Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) 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 in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
 
(ii)           Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds 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 Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
 
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
(c)           Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Event set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
 
(d)           Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
 
(e)           Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
 
2.13           Sharing of Payments by Lenders.   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 the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
 
(i)           if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
 
(ii)           the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of either thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply) or (C) any payment obtained by the L/C Issuer in connection with Cash Collateralizing any L/C Obligations, any other Cash Collateral or other arrangements made in respect of an Impacted Lender.
 
Each Credit 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 Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
 
2.14           Security Documents and Guaranty Agreements.
 
(a)           All Obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall be secured in accordance with the Security Documents.
 
(b)           All Obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall be unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Guarantors and the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the Nexstar Guaranty Agreement.

ARTICLE III.
 
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
 
3.01           Taxes.
 
(a)           Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any 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 Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
 
(b)           Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
 
(c)           Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, 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 Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)           Evidence of Payments.  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)           Status of Lenders.  Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit payments to be made hereunder without withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
 
(i)           duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
 
(ii)           duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
 
(iii)           in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
 
(iv)           any other form or similar documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
 
(f)           Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
 
3.02           Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
 
 


5432462v.2 25690/684
 
28
 
 
 
3.03           Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
 
3.04           Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans.
 
(a)           Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
 
(i)           impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;
 
(ii)           subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or
 
(iii)           impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
 
(b)           Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
 
(c)           Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
 
(d)           Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
3.05           Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
 
(a)           any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
 
(b)           any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
 
(c)           any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;
 
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
 
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Loan was in fact so funded.
 
3.06           Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
 
(a)           Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or 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 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans 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 reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
(b)           Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, 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 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
 
3.07           Survival.  All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

(e)           Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
 
(f)           Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
 
10.05           Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
 
10.06           Successors and Assigns.
 
(a)           Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement 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 Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (h) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(i)           except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000 for Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans or (y) $1,000,000 for Term B Loans unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
 
(ii)           each such assignment of Loans hereunder must be consummated simultaneously with an assignment among the same parties of a corresponding percentage of the corresponding Class of Mission Loans and/or commitments (as applicable) under the Mission Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Mission Credit Agreement;
 
(iii)           each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
 
(iv)           any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and
 
(v)           the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 10.06, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided that only one such fee shall be payable with respect to the assignment of Loans hereunder and the simultaneous assignment among the same parties of a corresponding percentage of the corresponding Class of Mission Loans and/or commitments (as applicable) under the Mission Credit Agreement.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement with respect to the interest assigned and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement in addition to any rights and obligations theretofore held by it as a Lender hereunder, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
 
(c)           Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register").  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive with respect to the identity of the Lenders and, the entries as to the amount of the Obligations shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrower and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
 
(d)           Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
 
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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (i), subsections (B), (D) and (I) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e)
 

 


5432462v.2 25690/684

of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
 
(e)           Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect 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 3.01 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 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
 
(f)           Certain Pledges.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
 
(g)           Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
 
(h)           Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an "SPC") the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(ii).  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $2,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
 
(i)           Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer.  If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
 
10.07           Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
 
For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
 
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.
 
10.08           Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
 
10.09           Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
 
10.10           Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Except as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
10.11           Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Event, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
 
10.12           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13           Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, 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 3.01, if any Lender is an Impacted Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
 
(a)           the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
 
(b)           such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
 
(c)           in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
 
(d)           such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws.
 
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.19           Additional Mandatory Prepayments.  In addition to those mandatory prepayments required under Section 2.06, and notwithstanding anything in Section 2.06 or otherwise herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower shall make such additional mandatory prepayments as required to fully comply with each of the provisions set forth below:
 
(a)           Excess Outstandings.
 
(i)           If on any date the aggregate unpaid principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments, plus the outstanding L/C Obligations (to the extent not Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) below or as provided for in Section 2.03(g)) exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the amount of such excess.  Any payments on Revolving Loans made under the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 10.19(a)(i) shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders with Revolving Commitments.
 
(ii)           If on any date the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations shall exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize on such date an amount equal to the excess of the L/C Obligations over the Letter of Credit Commitment.
 
(b)           Dispositions.
 
(i)           If on any date any Nexstar Entity shall make any Disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition shall be applied on such date to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such amount applied to prepay the Revolving Loans), provided that (A) with respect to no more than $500,000 in the aggregate of Net Cash Proceeds received in any Fiscal Year, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied if no Default then exists, (B) with respect to assets not constituting real estate (I) that are obsolete or no longer used or useful in the business, (II) that are Disposed of in the ordinary course of business of such Nexstar Entity and (III) the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Disposition of which are reinvested to replace such Disposed assets with like assets within 90 days of such Disposition, then, so long as there exists no Default at the time of such Disposition and the aggregate amount of all such Dispositions does not exceed $250,000 in any Fiscal Year in the aggregate for all Nexstar Entities, the Borrower shall not be required to repay such Net Cash Proceeds and (C) any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds which the Borrower determines in good faith should be reserved for post-closing adjustments or liabilities (as set forth in a certificate of the Borrower executed on its behalf by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent with the amount of such cash proceeds to be held by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 10.19(l)) shall not be required to be used as a prepayment on the date received, it being understood and agreed that on the day all such post-closing adjustments and liabilities have been determined, the amount (if any) by which the reserved amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition exceeds the actual post-closing adjustments or liabilities payable by any Nexstar Entity shall be used to make an immediate mandatory prepayment on such day.
 
(ii)           Nothing in this Section 10.19(b) or otherwise shall be deemed to permit any Disposition not otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
 
(c)           Promptly upon the receipt by any Nexstar Entity of the proceeds from any Recovery Event or other Extraordinary Receipts, an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event or other Extraordinary Receipts (net of reasonable costs including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event or other Extraordinary Receipt and the collection of the proceeds thereof) shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such amount applied to prepay the Revolving Loans); provided that so long as no Default then exists, this requirement for mandatory prepayment shall be reduced by the amount of such Extraordinary Receipts constituting casualty insurance proceeds that are (1) equal to amounts spent by the Borrower towards the replacement or restoration of the assets that caused such Extraordinary Receipts prior to receipt of such Extraordinary Receipts (which the Borrower may retain provided the Borrower delivers documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of such amounts spent) or (2) delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 10.19(l), and that are applied to the replacement or restoration of the assets subject to such Recovery Event on or before the 180th day after the related Recovery Event (or such longer period agreed to by the Administrative Agent).
 
(d)
 
(i)           On December 29, 2009, an amount equal to 75% of the Initial Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for the period from January 1, 2009 through and including September 30, 2009 shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such prepayment of Revolving Loans).
 
(ii)           On each date which is 45 days after the last day of each Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending on December 31, 2009, an amount equal to 80% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower for such Fiscal Quarter shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such prepayment of Revolving Loans).
 
(e)           Promptly upon the receipt by any Nexstar Entity of Net Issuance Proceeds from any sale or issuance of Capital Stock, capital contribution or other equity contribution, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such prepayment of Revolving Loans), in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Issuance Proceeds, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as (i) no Default exists on the date of such issuance, (ii) such proceeds are delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 10.19(l), (iii) the Borrower delivers a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that there exists no Default prior to or after giving effect to any such use, and (iv) if such proceeds are not used timely or if at any time the Borrower fails to continue to pursue such purchase or redemption in good faith, such proceeds shall be used immediately to prepay the outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such prepayment of Revolving Loans), then the amount of the prepayments required to be made under this Section 10.19(e) shall be reduced by up to 50% of such Net Issuance Proceeds, but only to the extent such Net Issuance Proceeds are used within 120 days after receipt thereof to redeem, repurchase or prepay any of the Unsecured Notes in accordance with the terms of Section 7.16(b), and provided further that during the existence of a Default, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Issuance Proceeds (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such prepayment of Revolving Loans).
 
(f)           If on any date any Nexstar Entity shall incur or issue any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Sections 7.05(m), (n), (o), (p), (q) and (r)), then on each such date of incurrence or issuance an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the Net Debt Proceeds received with respect to such Indebtedness shall be applied to prepay outstanding principal of the Term B Loans and the Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis among such Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such prepayment of Revolving Loans).

(g)           If on any day after the Second Amendment Effective Date the sum of cash and Cash Equivalents of the Nexstar Entities together with the cash and Cash Equivalents of the Mission Entities aggregate among all such entities in excess of $15,000,000 or more, then the Borrower or the Mission Entities shall apply such amounts in excess of $15,000,000 on the following day to prepay the outstanding principal of Loans and/or Mission Loans, at the Borrower's election, such that the aggregate cash and Cash Equivalents of the Nexstar Entities and the Mission Entities shall not exceed $15,000,000 (applied as to (1) Loans, among the Term B Loans and Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among such Loans, with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in the amount of such amount applied to prepay the Revolving Loans and (2) Mission Loans, among the "Term B Loans" and "Revolving Loans" (as each is defined in the Mission Credit Agreement) on a pro rata basis among such loans, with a corresponding reduction in the "Aggregate Revolving Commitment" (as defined in the Mission Credit Agreement) in the amount of such amount applied to prepay the "Revolving Loans"), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists no Default on such day or the following day, such amounts shall be applied to prepay either or both of (x) the Revolving Loans and will not result in a reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and (y) the "Revolving Loans" (as defined in the Mission Credit Agreement) and will not result in a reduction in the "Aggregate Revolving Commitment" (as defined in the Mission Credit Agreement).
 
(h)           The Borrower shall pay, together with each prepayment under this Section 10.19, accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a prepayment in full) shall instead be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date.

(k)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.19, any Term B Lender may elect, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the receipt thereof, not to receive its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment that would otherwise be payable to such Term B Lender pursuant to this Section 10.19, whereupon such portion shall be reallocated to prepay the outstanding principal amount of all Term B Loans and Revolving Loans other than the Term B Loans held by such Term B Lender and any other Term B Lender that has elected not to receive its pro rata portion of such mandatory prepayment, on a pro rata basis among such Loans.
 
(l)           Each Nexstar Entity, as applicable and required in Sections 10.19(b), (c) and (e) above and otherwise by the terms of this Agreement, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly upon receipt thereof, all Net Cash Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts and Net Issuance Proceeds that (i) may be applied to or used to replace, rebuild or repair, in the case of Extraordinary Receipts constituting casualty insurance, (ii) the Borrower determines in good faith should be reserved for post-closing adjustments or liabilities in connection with Dispositions or (iii) may be used to redeem Unsecured Notes, in each case only as permitted by Sections 10.19(b), (c) or (e), to be held as cash collateral securing the Obligations in a Cash Collateral Account pending such use or application as a prepayment.
 
(m)           In the event that any provision of this Section 10.19 conflicts with any provision of Section 2.06, this Section 10.19 shall control in all cases.

5 For all stations listed throughout this document, applications for renewal of the stations’ analog licenses were filed prior to the final DTV transition deadline of June 12, 2009.  As described in the “Station FCC Matters” notes that follow, the FCC had not granted most of the Nexstar stations’ license renewal applications by June 12, 2009.  Therefore, although Nexstar is authorized to operate each station in a digital format pursuant either to a grant of a license to cover its DTV construction permit or under program test authority, the expiration dates associated with many of the licenses listed herein reflect dates in the past because the underlying main station license renewal applications have not yet been granted.  Under the FCC’s rules and policies, a station may continue operating pursuant to the terms of its authorization while its application for renewal is pending.
 
6 The FCC file numbers of pending applications are being provided.

KMID, Midland, Texas

The processing of the station’s application for renewal of license is subject to a temporary "hold" or deferral from the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau by reason of one or more unspecified complaints concerning alleged "indecent" programming.

Following the grant of the station’s current construction permit (FCC File No. BPCDT-19991029ADE), Nexstar learned that the tower specified in that application would not be able to withstand the addition of DTV transmitting equipment.  Nexstar subsequently obtained space on a nearby tower to operate the KMID-DT facilities, and on December 8, 2008, Nexstar filed an application to modify the construction permit (FCC File No. BMPCDT-20081208ADC) (the "December 2008 Modification Application").  According to certain engineering methodology employed by the FCC, the facilities proposed in the December 2008 Modification Application are predicted to serve approximately 95.9 percent of the persons that were predicted to receive the KMID analog signal.  Pursuant to the policy of the FCC’s Media Bureau, an application cannot be granted if it proposes a "service loss" to two percent or more of the persons predicted to receive a station’s analog signal.
 
On June 3, 2009, Nexstar requested Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate KMID pursuant to the terms specified in the December 2008 Modification Application beyond June 12, 2009, the date on which the station terminated its analog operations.  The FCC granted that request on June 9, 2009 for a three-month period expiring on September 8, 2009.  On September 8, 2009, Nexstar filed a request for an extension of that STA, which currently is pending.  In addition, on September 8, 2009, Nexstar filed an amendment to the December 2008 Modification Application, which provided an engineering study demonstrating that the KMID-DT facilities are providing a reliable signal in areas where the FCC’s modeling depicted an analog "loss area," and therefore there is less loss of service to former KMID viewers than previously was predicted by the FCC.  Nexstar submitted that, based on the information in Nexstar’s study, the December 2008 Modification Application could be granted.  The FCC has not yet acted on Nexstar’s amendment, and the December 2008 Modification Application remains pending.

On September 29, 2009, in response to a routine due diligence request submitted by counsel to Nexstar, a member of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau reported that there are one or more formal or informal complaints currently pending against KMID.
