conditions of this Agreement and so long as no Default exists, the Lender will
make loans to the Borrowers, who shall borrow on a joint and several basis, from
time to time prior to the Final Loan Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the amount requested in accordance with Section 2.1.2, but not
to exceed at any time an aggregate amount equal to Stated Amount of Revolving
Credit then in effect. The aggregate principal amount of the loans made pursuant
to this Section 2.1.1 at any time outstanding is referred to as the "Revolving
Loan".

                    2.1.2 Borrowing Requests. Revolving Loans will be made to
the Borrowers by the Lender under Section 2.1.1 on any Banking Day prior to the
Final Loan Maturity Date. With respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, not later than

(New York time) on the second Banking Day prior to the requested Closing Date
for any such Loan, Company, for and on behalf of all the Borrowers, will give
the Lender notice (either written notice, or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of their request (a "Notice of Borrowing") specifying (a)
the amount of the requested loan (not less than $1,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $500,000), (b) whether such Loan


                                        8

   14

shall be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (c) the requested Closing
Date therefor, and (d) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans the requested
Interest Period; provided that (i) Interest Periods shall be selected so that
there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time;
(ii) no Interest Period with respect to any Revolving Loan shall expire later
than the Final Loan Maturity Date; and (iii) in the event Borrowers fail to
specify an Interest Period for any Revolving Loan in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month.

                    2.1.3 Revolving Note. The Revolving Loan shall be evidenced
by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.1.3 (the "Revolving
Note") payable by the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) to the order of
the Lender.

         2.2 Term Credit.

                    2.2.1 Term Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement, the Lenders lent to the Company as a term loan the sum of One Hundred
Million Dollars ($100,000,000) effective as of April 26, 1994. The aggregate
principal amount of the loan made pursuant to Section 2.2.1 of the Credit
Agreement at any time outstanding is referred to as the "Term Loan".

                    2.2.2 Term Note. Concurrent with the execution of this
Agreement, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a promissory note in substantially
the form of Exhibit 2.2.2 (the "Amended and Restated Term Note") payable by the
Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) to the order of the Lender which
Amended and Restated Term Note shall replace the Term Note delivered by
borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

         2.3 Conversion/Continuation Option. The Borrower may elect (i) at any
time to convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans
or (ii) at the end of any Interest Period with respect thereto, to convert
Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans, or to
continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof as Eurodollar Rate
Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate
of the Eurodollar Rate Loans of the Borrower so converted or so continued for
each Interest Period must be not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples
of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each such election (a "Notice of Conversion or
Continuation") shall be made by giving the Lender at least two Banking Days', in
the case of a conversion to or a continuation of a Base Rate Loan, and four
Banking Days,' in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, prior written notice thereof specifying (A) the amount and type of
conversion or continuation, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period therefor, and (C) in the case of a
conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Banking Day and, if a

Interest Period therefor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole
or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in
whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any Interest
Period therefor, shall be permitted at any time at which an Event of Default
shall have occurred

Section 2.3, the Lender does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation
from the Borrower containing an election to continue all or any portion of the
Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert all or any
portion of such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the Interest Period
therefor, such Loans or the portions thereof for which an election to continue
or convert has not been made will be automatically continued for a period of one
month. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable. 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.

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

the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days as the case may be, and all computations

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

         grace, if any, specified in such agreement, and such failure or

than the scheduled termination thereof in accordance with its terms), to be in
full force and effect; or the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective Affiliates party thereto shall so assert in a judicial or similar
proceeding; or the security interests created by this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and
priority purported to be created hereby, except solely as a result of failure by
the Lender to file continuation statements with respect to financing statements
or to take other similar administrative steps within its sole control.

                    8.1.6 A final judgment:

                             (a) which, with other outstanding final judgments

                             (a) commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy
         Code or authorize, by appropriate proceedings of its board of directors
         or other governing body, the commencement of such a voluntary case;

                             (b) have filed against it a petition commencing an
         involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code which shall not have been
         dismissed within 60 days after the date on which such petition is

         admitting or failing to deny the material allegations of such a
         petition or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the relief therein

                                       17

   23

                             (d) seek relief as a debtor under any applicable
         law, other than the Bankruptcy Code, of any jurisdiction relating to
         the liquidation or reorganization of debtors, or to the modification or
         alteration of the rights of creditors, or consent to or acquiesce in
         such relief;

                             (e) have entered against it an order by a court of
         competent jurisdiction (i) finding it to be bankrupt or insolvent, (ii)
         ordering or approving its liquidation, reorganization or any
         modification or alteration of the rights of its creditors or (iii)
         assuming custody of, or appointing a receiver or other custodian for,
         all or a substantial portion of its property; or

                             (f) make an assignment for the benefit of, or enter
         into a composition with, its creditors, or appoint, or consent to the
         appointment of, or suffer to exist a receiver or other custodian for,
         all or a substantial portion of its property.

                    8.1.8 Lender and its Affiliates shall cease to beneficially
own and control a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of Company entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to
vote for the election of members of the board of directors of Company.

                    8.1.9 Lender shall fail to make any payment when due in
respect of or should otherwise be in breach or default of (in each case, after
giving effect to any applicable grace period) the Viacom Credit Facilities.

         8.2 Certain Actions Following an Event of Default. 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 proceed to
enforce payment of the Credit Obligations in such manner as it may elect and to
realize upon any and all rights in the Credit Security. 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.

9. Expenses; Indemnity.

         9.1 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be consummated (unless such transactions are not consummated solely by reason of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender), the Borrowers will pay:

                             (a) all reasonable expenses of Lender (including
         the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Lender
         including allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with the
         preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of
         this Agreement, each other Credit Document, the transactions
         contemplated hereby and thereby and operations hereunder and
         thereunder;

                             (b) all recording and filing fees and transfer and
         documentary stamp and similar taxes at any time payable in respect of
         this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Credit Security or the
         incurrence of the Credit Obligations; and

                             (c) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law
         that cannot be waived, all other reasonable expenses incurred by Lender
         or the holder of any Credit Obligation in connection with the
         enforcement of any rights hereunder or under any other Credit Document,
         including costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees (including
         a reasonable allowance for the hourly cost of attorneys employed by
         Lender on a salaried basis) and expenses.

         9.2 General Indemnity. 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
