Attention: David K. Thompson, Vice
President
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc. (“ JPMorgan ”) and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. (“ JPMorgan Chase Bank ”;
together with JPMorgan, the “ Commitment Parties
”) that you desire to obtain financing in connection with the
transactions described in the introductory paragraphs of Exhibit A
hereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with
the meanings assigned to them in said paragraphs.
JPMorgan is pleased to advise you
that it is willing to act as the lead left arranger and lead left
bookrunner for the Credit Facilities, and JPMorgan Chase Bank is
pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide the entire
amount of the Credit Facilities. This Commitment Letter and the
Summaries of Terms and Conditions attached as Exhibits A, B
and C hereto (the “ Term Sheets ”) set forth the
principal terms and conditions on and subject to which JPMorgan
Chase Bank is willing to make available the Credit
Facilities.
It is agreed that JPMorgan will act
as the lead arranger and lead bookrunner with left placement in
respect of the Credit Facilities (in such capacities, the “
Lead Arranger ”) and that JPMorgan Chase Bank will act
as the sole administrative agent in respect of the Credit
Facilities. You and we will mutually agree on other titles to be
awarded in connection with the Credit Facilities. No compensation
(other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheets and Fee
Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the
Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.
We intend to syndicate the Credit
Facilities to a group of lenders (together with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, the “ Lenders ”) identified by us and
reasonably acceptable to you. We intend to commence syndication
efforts promptly, and you agree actively to assist us in completing
a syndication satisfactory to us. Such assistance shall include
(a) direct contact between proposed senior management and
advisors of Radioco and the proposed Lenders, (b) assistance
from Radioco in the preparation of Confidential Information
Memoranda and other marketing materials to be used in connection
with the syndication (together with the Term Sheets, collectively,
the “ Information Materials ”) and (c) the
hosting, with us and proposed senior management of Radioco, of one
or more meetings of prospective Lenders.
JPMorgan, in its capacity as Lead
Arranger, will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the
syndication, including decisions as to the selection of
institutions to be approached and when they will be approached,
when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will
participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders
and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. In its
capacity as Lead Arranger, JPMorgan will have no responsibility
other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and in no
event shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties. To
assist us in our syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare
and provide to us all information with respect to Radioco and its
subsidiaries, the Business and the Transaction, including all
financial information and projections (the “
Projections ”), as we may reasonably request in
connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Credit
Facilities. You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all
information other than the Projections (the “
Information ”) that has been or will be made available
to us by you or any of your representatives is or will be, when
furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does
not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading
in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made
and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made
available to us by you or any of your representatives have been or
will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions
(it being understood that the Projections are subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
beyond your control and no assurance is or can be given that any
Projections will be realized). You understand that in arranging and
syndicating the Credit Facilities we may use and rely on the
Information and Projections without independent verification
thereof.
If requested, you will assist us in
preparing an additional version of the Information Materials (the
“ Public-Side Version ”) to be used by
prospective Lenders’ public-side employees and
representatives (“ Public-Siders ”) who do not
wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning
of United States federal securities laws) with respect to Radioco,
its affiliates and any of its securities (“ MNPI
”) and who may be engaged in investment and other market
related activities with respect to Radioco’s or its
affiliates’ securities or loans. Before distribution of any
Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to us
(i) a letter in which you authorize distribution of the
Information Materials to a prospective Lender’s employees
willing to receive MNPI (“ Private-Siders ”) and
(ii) a separate letter in which you authorize distribution of
the Public-Side Version to Public-Siders and represent that no MNPI
is contained therein.
Radioco agrees that, so long as
Radioco is provided with sufficient time to review such materials,
the following documents may be distributed to both Private-Siders
and Public-Siders, unless Radioco advises JPMorgan in writing
(including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their
intended distribution that such materials should only be
distributed to Private-Siders: (a) administrative materials
prepared by JPMorgan for prospective Lenders (such as a lender
meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and
closing memoranda), (b) notification of changes in the terms
of the Credit Facilities
2
and (c) other materials intended for
prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of Information
Materials. If you advise us that any of the foregoing should be
distributed only to Private-Siders, then Public-Siders will not
receive such materials without further discussions with
you.
Radioco hereby authorizes JPMorgan
to distribute drafts of definitive documentation with respect to
the Credit Facilities to Private-Siders and
Public-Siders.
Upon request of the Lead Arranger,
you shall use commercially reasonable efforts promptly thereafter
to cause each Conversion Credit Facility to receive a rating from
both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“
Moody’s ”) and Standard & Poor’s
Ratings Group (“ S&P ”).
As consideration for the commitments
and agreements of the Commitment Parties hereunder, you agree to
cause to be paid the nonrefundable fees described in the Fee Letter
dated the date hereof and delivered herewith (the “ Fee
Letter ”).
Each Commitment Party’s
commitments and agreements hereunder are subject to:
(a) there not occurring or
becoming known to such Commitment Party any effect, change or
circumstance that, individually or in the aggregate, is, or would
reasonably be expected to be, materially adverse to the Business,
Radioco or the financial condition, operations or results of
operations of the Business, taken as a whole, or the ability of
Radioco and its subsidiaries to perform their obligations under the
Credit Facilities (a “ Business Material Adverse
Effect ”); provided, however, that none of the following
shall be deemed to constitute, and none of the following shall be
taken into account in determining whether there has occurred, a
Business Material Adverse Effect: (1) any adverse effect,
change or circumstance arising from or relating to (i) general
business or economic conditions, including any such conditions as
they relate to the Business, (ii) national or international
political or social conditions, including the engagement by the
U.S. in hostilities, whether or not pursuant to the declaration of
a national emergency or war, or the occurrence of any military or
terrorist attack upon the U.S., or any of its territories,
possessions, or diplomatic or consular offices or upon any military
installation, equipment or personnel of the U.S.,
(iii) financial, banking, or securities markets (including any
disruption thereof and any decline in the price of any security or
any market index), (iv) changes in GAAP, (v) changes in
any laws, (vi) the negotiation, execution, delivery, public
announcement or the pendency of any combining transaction between
Radioco and Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (or the taking of any
action required thereby), (vii) the loss of the services of
any employee of the Business by reason of resignation, retirement,
death or permanent disability, (viii) the results of
operations of the Business prior to October 1, 2006 as set
forth in the aggregate in all material respects on Schedule 1.1 of
the TWDC/Radioco disclosure schedules, (ix) any failure in and
of itself to meet any Radioco fiscal year 2007 budgeted or
forecasted results of operations or (x) the implementation of
any written recommendation of Citadel Broadcasting
Corporation’s chief executive officer relating to the
management and operations of the Business to the president by TWDC
or Radioco or their respective Subsidiaries with respect to the
Business and (2) any adverse effect, change or circumstance on
the Business that is cured by Radioco before the Closing
Date;
(b) such Commitment
Party’s satisfaction that prior to and during the syndication
of the Credit Facilities there shall be no competing offering,
placement or arrangement of any debt securities (other than the
Senior Subordinated Notes) or bank financing by or on behalf of
Radioco or any of its affiliates (other than TWDC and its other
subsidiaries);
(c) the closing of the Credit
Facilities on or before August 6, 2007; and
3
(d) the other conditions set
forth or referred to in the Term Sheets. Notwithstanding anything
in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter or the
definitive documentation with respect to the Credit Facilities to
the contrary, the terms of definitive financing documentation with
respect to the Credit Facilities shall be in a form such that they
do not impair availability of the respective Credit Facilities on
the Closing Date (as such term is defined in Exhibit A hereto) if
the conditions set forth herein (included the exhibits hereto) are
satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent that certain
immaterial collateral to be agreed is not provided on the Closing
Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so,
the delivery of such immaterial collateral shall not constitute a
condition precedent to the availability of the respective Credit
Facilities on the Closing Date but shall be required to be
delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements to be
mutually agreed).
You agree (a) to indemnify and
hold harmless the Commitment Parties, their affiliates and their
respective directors, employees, advisors, and agents (each, an
“ indemnified person ”) from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such
indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in
connection with this Commitment Letter, the Credit Facilities, the
use of the proceeds thereof, the Transaction or any related
transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any
indemnified person is a party thereto, and to reimburse each
indemnified person upon demand for any reasonable legal expenses of
one counsel and any local counsel for each group of indemnified
persons which do not have conflicting interests or other expenses
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the
foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not,
as to any indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person, and
(b) to reimburse each Commitment Party and its affiliates on
demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including due
diligence expenses, syndication expenses, consultant’s fees
and expenses to the extent that such consultants are retained in
consultation with you, travel expenses, and reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel, including FCC counsel)
incurred in connection with the Credit Facilities and any related
documentation (including this Commitment Letter and the definitive
financing documentation) or the administration, amendment,
modification or waiver thereof. No indemnified person shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by others of
Information or other materials obtained through electronic,
telecommunications or other information transmission systems or for
any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in
connection with the Credit Facilities except to the extent any such
damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to
arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
indemnified person.
It is understood that, in connection
with any refinancing of (or financing in lieu of) the Subordinated
Facility, the Borrower shall at the request of the Lead Arranger
after the Conversion Date use commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver preliminary offering memoranda or preliminary prospectuses
and other marketing materials relating to the Senior Subordinated
Notes usable in a customary high-yield road show (which shall
comply with the rules and regulations (including
Regulation S-X) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and
the investment bank engaged to place the Senior Subordinated Notes
shall have been afforded a reasonable period, which shall not be
less than 30 days, following the receipt of such documentation
to place the Senior Subordinated Notes with qualified purchasers
thereof.
You acknowledge that each Commitment
Party and its affiliates (the term “Commitment Party”
as used below in this paragraph being understood to include such
affiliates) may be providing debt financing, equity capital or
other services (including financial advisory services) to other
companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests
regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No
Commitment Party will use confidential information obtained from
you by virtue of the
4
transactions contemplated hereby or its other
relationships with you in connection with the performance by such
Commitment Party of services for other companies, and no Commitment
Party will furnish any such information to other companies. You
also acknowledge that no Commitment Party has any obligation to use
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or to
furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other
companies. You further acknowledge that JPMorgan is a full service
securities firm and JPMorgan may from time to time effect
transactions, for its own or its affiliates’ account or the
account of customers, and hold positions in loans, securities or
options on loans or securities of the Borrower and its affiliates
and of other companies that may be the subject of the transactions
contemplated by this Commitment Letter.
Each Commitment Party may employ the
services of its affiliates in providing certain services hereunder
and, in connection with the provision of such services, may
exchange with such affiliates information concerning you and the
other companies that may be the subject of the transactions
contemplated by this Commitment Letter, and, to the extent so
employed, such affiliates shall be entitled to the benefits
afforded such Commitment Party hereunder.
This Commitment Letter shall not be
assignable by you without the prior written consent of each
Commitment Party (and any purported assignment without such consent
shall be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit
of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits
upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the
parties hereto and the indemnified persons; provided, however, that
this Commitment Letter may be assigned by Radioco to any of its
affiliates that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TWDC engaged in the
Business as long as such assignee assumes all obligations of
Radioco hereunder. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or
waived except by an instrument in writing signed by you and each
Commitment Party. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all
of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.
Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter by
facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter and the Fee
Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among us
with respect to the Credit Facilities and set forth the entire
understanding of the parties with respect thereto. This Commitment
Letter shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
This Commitment Letter is delivered
to you on the understanding that neither this Commitment Letter,
the Term Sheets or the Fee Letter nor any of their terms or
substance shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other
person (including, without limitation, other potential providers or
arrangers of financing) except (a) to your, your parent
company’s and Citadel Broadcasting Corporation’s
respective officers, agents, auditors and advisors who are directly
involved in the consideration of this matter, (b) to relevant
taxing authorities and the Federal Communications Commission or
(c) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative
proceeding or as otherwise required by law (in which case you agree
to inform us promptly thereof), provided , that the
foregoing restrictions shall cease to apply (except in respect of
the Fee Letter and its terms and substance) after this Commitment
Letter has been accepted by you.
Each of the Commitment Parties
hereby notifies you that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on
October 26, 2001) (the “ Patriot Act ”), it
is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower and each Guarantor (as defined in the Term
Sheets), which information includes names and addresses and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower
and each Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act.
The compensation, reimbursement,
indemnification and confidentiality provisions contained herein and
in the Fee Letter and any other provision herein or therein which
by its terms
5
expressly survives the termination of this
Commitment Letter shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of whether definitive financing documentation shall be executed and
delivered and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment
Letter or the commitments hereunder.
This Commitment Letter supersedes
and replaces the Commitment Letter dated February 4, 2006
between you and us.
If the foregoing correctly sets
forth our agreement, please indicate your acceptance of the terms
hereof and of the Term Sheets and the Fee Letter by returning to us
executed counterparts hereof and of the Fee Letter not later than
11:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 20, 2006.
This offer will automatically expire at such time if we have not
