In the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan continued pursuant to a Notice of Conversion or Continuation (or in the absence of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation as provided in this Section 2.3) each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires. 2.4 Application of Proceeds. 2.4.1 Revolving Loan. The Borrowers will apply the proceeds of the Revolving Loan for working capital and for other lawful corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 2.4.2 Specifically Prohibited Applications.

Interest; Fees. 3.1 Interest. 3.1.1 The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date thereof until the principal amount thereof shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum, on such dates as specified below (each a "Payment Date"): (a) Base Rate Loans. For Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of September, December, March and June, on the Final Loan Maturity Date and on the date any Base Rate Loan is converted or paid in full. (b) Eurodollar Rate Loans. For Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for each Eurodollar Rate Loan to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period. 10 16 3.1.2 Interest on Overdue Amounts. The Borrowers will on demand pay daily interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under applicable bankruptcy laws) on any overdue installments of principal and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, on any overdue installments of interest and fees owed under any Credit Document at a rate per annum which equals the sum of 2% plus the highest Applicable Rate then in effect. 3.1.3. Limitation by Applicable Law. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest rates on the Loans shall in no event be in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. 3.2 Fees. 3.2.1 Commitment Fees. In consideration of the Lender's commitments to make the extensions of credit provided for in Section 2.1, while such commitments are outstanding, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) will pay to the Lender, quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter, a commitment fee equal to daily interest at the rate of .375% per annum on the amount by which (a) the daily Stated Amount of Revolving Credit during the three-month period or portion thereof ending on such date exceeded (b) the daily Revolving Loans outstanding during such period or portion thereof; provided, however that such commitment fee shall be reduced or increased to correspond with any reductions or increases in the commitment fees payable by Lender to its lenders under the Viacom Credit Facilities. 3.2.2 Facility Fee. Borrowers (jointly and severally) agree to pay to Lender, payable annually on January 31 of each year, a facility fee equal to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) per annum (i.e., .20% of $200,000,000). If Borrowers permanently and irrevocably terminate Lender's obligations to make the Revolving Loans and Term Loan hereunder and Borrowers repay all Credit Obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then Lender agrees to repay to Borrowers a portion of the annual facility fee paid to Lender pursuant to this Section 3.2.2 with respect to the applicable one year period, pro-rated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days remaining in the year. 3.2.3 Annual Administrative Fee. Borrowers (jointly and severally) agree to pay Lender an annual administrative fee equal to $15,000 on January 31 of each year prior to the Final Loan Maturity Date. 3.3 Computations of Interest and Fees. For purposes of this Agreement, all computations of the Commitment Fee or of interest based on the rate of interest specified in clause (i) of the definition of Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or clause (ii) of the definition of Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Loan. 11 17 3.4 Break-Funding Costs. If Lender receives any payment of principal of, or is subject to a conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period relating to such Loan, as a result of any payment or conversion made by the Borrower or acceleration of the maturity of the amounts due under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2.3 or for any other reason, the Borrower shall, upon demand by Lender, pay to the Lender any amounts required to compensate Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding any loss of the margin payable in accordance with Section 3.1.1(b) on the amount of principal so paid, or any loss), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.4 shall survive payment of the Loans. 4. Payment. 4.1 Payment at Maturity. On the stated or any accelerated maturity of the Notes, the Borrowers will pay to the Lender for credit to the applicable Note an amount equal to the principal evidenced by the applicable Note then due, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Credit Obligations in respect thereof then outstanding. 4.2 Contingent Required Prepayments. If at any time the aggregate of the Revolving Loans outstanding exceeds the Stated Amount of Revolving Credit then in effect, the Borrowers will promptly pay the amount of such excess to Lender. 4.3 Voluntary Prepayments. In addition to the prepayments required by Section 4.2, the Borrowers may from time to time prepay all or any portion of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or the Base Rate Loans, without premium; provided, however, that any such prepayments are made in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof and further provided that the Borrower, making such a prepayment, shall give the Lender at least four (4) Banking Days', in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, or two (2) Banking Days', in the case of Base Rate Loans, prior notice of its intention to prepay, specifying the date of payment, the total principal amount of the Loan to be paid on such date and the amount of interest to be paid with such prepayment. 4.4 Reborrowing. The amounts of the Revolving Loan repaid or prepaid pursuant to Section 4.3 may be reborrowed from time to time prior to the Final Loan Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.1. Amounts of the Term Loan repaid or prepaid pursuant to Section 4.3 may not be reborrowed. 4.5 Payment with Accrued Interest. Upon all prepayments of the Loans, the Borrower making the prepayment shall pay to the Lender the principal amount to be prepaid together with unpaid interest in respect thereof accrued to the date of prepayment. Notice of prepayment having been given in accordance with Section 4.3 and whether or not notice is given of prepayments pursuant to Section 4.2, the amount specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for prepayment. 12 18 4.6 Payments. The Borrowers shall make each payment of principal, interest and fees hereunder and under the Notes, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, not later than 12 noon, New York time, on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America to the Lender at an account of the Lender designated from time to time in immediately available funds. 4.7 Payment on Non-Banking Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Banking Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 5.

If any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in each and every such case: 8.2.1 No Obligation to Extend Credit. Lender may terminate the obligations of Lender to make any further extensions of credit under the Credit Documents by furnishing notice thereof to the Borrowers; provided, however, that the obligations of Lender to make any further extensions of credit under the Credit Documents shall automatically terminate without notice to the Borrowers upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Default. 8.2.2 Specific Performance; Exercise of Rights. Lender may proceed to protect and enforce Lender's rights by suit in equity, action at law and/or other appropriate proceeding, either for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any instrument or assignment delivered to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any such instrument or assignment. 8.2.3 Acceleration. Lender may, by notice in writing to the Borrowers, declare all or any part of the unpaid balance of the Credit Obligations then outstanding to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon such unpaid balance or part thereof shall become 18 24 so due and payable without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; provided, however, that if a Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred, the unpaid balance of the Credit Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable; provided, however, that if an Event of Default described in Section 8.1.9 has occurred and is continuing but at the applicable time of determination the Indebtedness incurred under the Viacom Credit Facilities has not been accelerated, then Lender may not by reason of such Event of Default, declare all or any part of the unpaid balance of the Credit Obligations then outstanding to be immediately due and payable until such time, if ever, that the Indebtedness under the Viacom Credit Facilities is accelerated. 8.2.4 Enforcement of Payment; Setoff.

Lender may offset and apply toward the payment of the Credit Obligations (and/or toward the curing of any Event of Default) any Indebtedness from Lender to the respective Obligors, regardless of the adequacy of any security for the Credit Obligations. Lender shall have no duty to determine the adequacy of any such security in connection with any such offset. 8.2.5 Cumulative Remedies. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, all of the Lender's rights hereunder and under each other Credit Document shall be cumulative. 8.3 Annulment of Defaults. Any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist and to be continuing for any purpose of this Agreement until such Default or Event of Default has been completely cured in every respect or the Lender shall have waived such Default or Event of Default in writing or entered into an amendment to this Agreement which by its express terms cures such Default or Event of Default. No such action by the Lender shall extend to or affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any rights of the Lender upon the occurrence thereof. The making of any extension of credit during the existence of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver thereof. 8.4 Waivers. Each of the Borrowers waives to the extent not prohibited by the provisions of applicable law that cannot be waived: (a) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document), protests, notices of protest and notices of dishonor; (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness in the part of Lender in the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document; (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law. 19 25 9.

The Borrowers will, jointly and severally, indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from any liability, loss or damage resulting from the violation by the Borrowers of Section 2.4. The Borrowers will also, jointly and severally, indemnify Lender, each of the Lender's directors, officers, employees, attorneys, and Affiliates and each Person, if any, who controls Lender (Lender and each of such directors, officers, employees and Affiliates and control Persons is referred to as an "Indemnified Party") and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel) for such Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnified Party, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, Lender's agreement to make the Loans as provided herein, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loans hereunder (the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that Borrowers shall have no obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Party or (ii) an investigative proceeding related primarily to the activities of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, and Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to 20 26 pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them. The indemnities contained in this subsection shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement, shall constitute separate and independent obligations of each Borrower from its other obligations under this Agreement and shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against each Borrower. 10. Successors and Assigns. Any reference in this Agreement to any of the parties hereto shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, including without limitation any assignee or transferee of any of the Loans, and all covenants and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrowers or Lender that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries may not assign their rights or obligations under this Agreement. 11. Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notice required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing. Any notice, demand or other communication in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to be given if given in writing (including telex, telecopy or similar teletransmission) addressed as provided below (or to the addressee at such other address as the addressee shall have specified by notice actually received by the addressor), and if either (a) actually delivered in fully legible form to such address (evidenced in the case of a telex by receipt of the correct answer back) or (b) in the case of a letter, five days shall have elapsed after the same shall have been deposited in the United States mails, with first-class postage prepaid and registered or certified. If to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to it in care of the Company at its address set forth on the signature page hereof, to the attention of the chief financial officer. If to Lender, to it at its address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, to the attention of the chief financial officer with a copy to the assistant treasurer and director of cash management. 12. Course of Dealing; Amendments and Waivers. No course of dealing between Lender, on one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of any of Lender's rights under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or with respect to the Credit Obligations. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries acknowledges that if the Lender, without being required to do so by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, gives any notice or information to, or obtains any consent from, any of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, Lender shall not by implication have amended, waived or modified any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or created any duty to give any such notice or information or to obtain any such consent on any future occasion. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or with respect to the Credit Obligations shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right hereunder or thereunder. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or 21 27 remedy on any future occasion. No waiver, consent or amendment with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by Lender. 13. Venue; Service of Process. Each of the Borrowers: (a) Irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the States of New York, Florida and California for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the subject matter hereof or thereof. (b) Waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding brought in any of the above-named courts, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such court. Each of the Borrowers and the Lender consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by applicable state or federal law and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 11 is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. 14. General. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied on by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Lender on its behalf, and shall survive the execution and delivery to the Lender hereof and thereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any other provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and current understandings and agreements, whether written or oral. Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts which together shall constitute one instrument.
