Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 19, 2016, CME Media Enterprises B.V. (“ CME BV ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“ CME ”) entered into (i) a EUR 468.8 million senior unsecured term credit facility agreement with BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Time Warner ”), as guarantor, CME, as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto (the “ 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement ”); and (ii) an amended and restated reimbursement agreement with CME and Time Warner, as credit guarantor (the “ Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement ”).
Loan proceeds under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement, which are expected to be drawn on or about April 7, 2016, will be applied, together with corporate cash, toward (i) the repayment and discharge in full of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of CME’s 15.0% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “ 2017 PIK Notes ”), and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the loan (the “ Time Warner Term Loan ”), and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, under the amended and restated term loan credit facility agreement among CME, Time Warner, as administrative agent, and the lenders thereto, dated as of February 28, 2014, as amended and restated as of November 14, 2014 (the “ Time Warner Term Loan Agreement ”) (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on November 14, 2014 as Exhibit 10.9 to CME’s Current Report on Form 8-K). As of December 31, 2015, approximately USD 502.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2017 PIK Notes and approximately USD 38.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Time Warner Term Loan were outstanding. CME issued a notice of redemption for the 2017 PIK Notes on February 22, 2016 and expects the redemption and discharge of the 2017 PIK Notes and the repayment of the Time Warner Term Loan to be completed on or about April 8, 2016.
2016 Third Party Credit Agreement
The 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement provides that the lenders thereunder will make loans (“ 2016 Third Party Loan ”) in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 468.8 million, which will bear interest payable in cash at three-month EURIBOR plus a margin between 1.07% and 1.90% (depending on the credit rating of Time Warner) and will mature on February 19, 2021. In connection with the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement, CME BV intends to enter into customary ordinary course interest rate hedging arrangements that will be guaranteed by CME, Time Warner and certain of Time Warner’s subsidiaries.
The 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default. CME BV may prepay the loans drawn under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than breakage costs) (i) when CME’s Consolidated Net Leverage (as defined in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (summarized below)) is below 5.0 times, for two consecutive quarters, (ii) following a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement), (iii) with the proceeds of specified asset sales, specified issuances of equity securities and insurance events and specified insurance payments (as set forth in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement), or (iv) at any time from February 19, 2020.
Time Warner and certain of its subsidiaries are providing an unconditional unsecured guarantee of payment under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement, CME BV will pay a guarantee fee to Time Warner in consideration of this guarantee. In addition, CME is providing an unconditional unsecured guarantee of payment under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement (the “ CME 2016 Credit Facility Guarantee ”).
Following an event of default under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement or under the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement, Time Warner and its affiliates will have a loan purchase right pursuant to which it may require the lenders to assign the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement to it in consideration of payment of all amounts then owing to the lenders.
The above description of the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement and the CME 2016 Credit Facility Guarantee are incomplete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement and the CME 2016 Credit Facility Guarantee, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Amendments to Existing Third Party Credit Agreements
On February 19, 2016, CME entered into an amendment (the “ 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment ”) to the senior unsecured term credit facility among CME, as borrower, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, Time Warner, as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto originally dated November 14, 2014 (the “ 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement ”) (as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2014 as Exhibit 10.1 to CME’s Current Report on Form 8-K) , as amended by the first amendment, dated as of March 9, 2015. The 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment includes amendments to (i) extend the maturity date from November 1, 2017 until November 1, 2018, (ii) reallocate the credit exposure under the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement on a pro-rata basis among the original and new lenders thereunder and (iii) permit voluntary prepayment by CME in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than breakage costs) (w) when its Consolidated Net Leverage (as defined in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement) is below 5.0 times for two consecutive quarters, (x) following a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement), (y) with the proceeds of specified asset sales, specified issuances of equity securities and insurance events and specified insurance payments (as set forth in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement), or (z) at any time on or after November 1, 2017. In addition, CME BV is providing an unconditional unsecured guarantee of payment under the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement (the “ CME BV 2014 Credit Facility Guarantee ”).
On February 19, 2016, CME entered into an amendment (the “ 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment ”) to the senior unsecured term credit facility agreement among CME, as borrower, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, Time Warner, as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto originally dated September 30, 2015 (the “ 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement ”) (as filed with the SEC on September 30, 2015 as Exhibit 10.1 to CME’s Current Report on Form 8-K) to, among other things, reallocate the credit exposure under the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement on a pro-rata basis among the original and new lenders thereunder. In addition, CME BV is providing an unconditional unsecured guarantee of payment under the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement (the “ CME BV 2015 Credit Facility Guarantee ”). The 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment and the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment will be effective when the loans under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement are drawn.
The above descriptions of the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment, the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment, the CME BV 2014 Credit Facility Guarantee and the CME BV 2015 Credit Facility Guarantee are incomplete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment, the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement Amendment, the CME BV 2014 Credit Facility Guarantee and the CME BV 2015 Credit Facility Guarantee, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Facility with Time Warner
On February 19, 2016, CME entered into an amendment and restatement agreement dated February 19, 2016 between CME and Time Warner, as administrative agent, which amends and restates the revolving loan credit facility agreement (the “ Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement ”) among CME, as borrower, Time Warner, as administrative agent, and the lenders thereto, originally dated as of February 28, 2014, as amended and restated as of November 14, 2014 (the “ Existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement ”) (as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2014 as Exhibit 10.10 to CME’s Current Report on Form 8-K). The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will be effective when the loans under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement are drawn.

2


Under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, the maturity date will be extended from December 1, 2017 to February 19, 2021 and the commitment amount will be reduced from USD 115.0 million to USD 50.0 million on January 1, 2018. The amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will bear interest at a rate based on, at CME’s option, the alternate base rate or the adjusted LIBO rate (each as defined (including a floor) in the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement) plus a margin. The margin will be determined on the basis of CME’s Consolidated Net Leverage (as defined in the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement) and will be between (a) 8.0% (in the event Consolidated Net Leverage is greater than or equal to 7.0 times) and 5.0% (in the event Consolidated Net Leverage is less than 5.0 times) for adjusted base rate loans or (b) 9.0% (in the event Consolidated Net Leverage is greater than or equal to 7.0 times) and 6.0% (in the event Consolidated Net Leverage is less than 5.0 times) for adjusted LIBO rate loans. An amount equal to 5% of the interest rate applicable to loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will be payable in cash, with the remainder payable in cash or in kind, at CME’s option. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will also provide that following a Change of Control (as defined therein), all commitments terminate and the margin for outstanding alternate base rate loans increases to 11% and the margin on outstanding adjusted LIBO rate loans increases to 12% on the date that is 180 days following such Change of Control. It also amends the definition of Change of Control to include Time Warner or its affiliates ceasing to have a beneficial ownership of CME of at least a 35% (on a fully-diluted basis). The covenants and events of default under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will be substantially similar to those in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (described below).
The above description of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement is incomplete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement
On February 19, 2016, CME and CME BV entered into the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement with Time Warner. The Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement provides, in relevant part, that CME will reimburse Time Warner or its subsidiaries for any payments made under any guarantee or through any loan purchase right exercised by Time Warner or its affiliates in respect of the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement (as well as in respect of the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement and the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement), for any payments made on behalf of CME BV under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement (as well as any payments made on behalf of CME under the 2014 Credit Agreement and the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement), and under any guarantee provided by Time Warner and certain of its subsidiaries of any interest rate hedging arrangements entered into by CME or CME BV in connection with those credit agreements.
As consideration for the guarantee of the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement, CME BV will pay a guarantee fee to Time Warner in U.S. dollars in an amount equal to (a) a rate per annum (the “ 2016 Guarantee Fee Rate ”) equal to (x) the applicable all-in rate minus (y) the rate of interest paid by CME BV under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement, multiplied by (b) the amount of loans outstanding under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement from time to time. The “all-in rate” will be measured quarterly on the basis of CME’s Consolidated Net Leverage (as defined in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement) and will be between 10.5% (in the event Consolidated Net Leverage is greater than or equal to 8.0 times) and 7.0% (in the event Consolidated Net Leverage is less than 5.0 times). The fee will be payable semi-annually. A portion of the fee equal to (A) 5.0% minus the rate of interest paid by CME BV under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement multiplied by (B) the amount of loans outstanding under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement shall be payable in cash and the remainder may be payable in cash or in kind (which amount in kind shall compound on each semi-annual payment date). Unpaid amounts of the fee will bear interest per annum at the 2016 Guarantee Fee Rate from the date loans are drawn under the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement and be payable in the same manner as the guarantee fee on each semi-annual payment date. Unpaid portions of the fee may be prepaid in cash at any time and the fee will be payable in full in cash on the maturity of the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement. The guarantee fee in respect of the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement (as amended) and the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement (as amended) remain unchanged from the original reimbursement agreement dated November 14, 2014 (as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2014 as Exhibit 10.3 to CME’s Current Report on Form 8-K) other than in the case of the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement following a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement) as described below.

3


The Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement contains specified financial covenants, such as maintaining a cash flow cover ratio of no less than 0.50 to 1.00, an interest cover ratio of no less than 0.75 to 1.00 and a consolidated total leverage ratio of no more than 12.5 to 1.00, which ratios are adjusted on certain dates in the future in accordance with the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement. The Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement includes a covenant requiring repayment of outstanding indebtedness and guarantee fees with the proceeds of specified asset sales, specified issuances of equity securities and insurance events and specified insurance payments. In addition, the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement provides that following a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement), the all-in rate in connection with the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement and 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement increases to 11% and 13%, respectively, on the date that is 180 days following such Change of Control. It also amends the definition of Change of Control to include Time Warner or its affiliates ceasing to own at least a 35% economic interest in CME (on a fully-diluted basis). The remaining terms of the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement remain substantially the same as the original reimbursement agreement dated as of November 14, 2014 between CME and Time Warner (as amended).
The above description of the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement is incomplete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement Guarantee and Pledges
On February 19, 2016, CME BV and CME’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Central European Media Enterprises N.V. (“ CME NV ”), entered into an amended and restated guarantee with Time Warner (the “ Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement Guarantee ”), pursuant to which CME NV and CME BV are guarantors of the obligations of CME under the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement. The Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement is secured by a fifth-ranking pledge (subject to the CME Intercreditor Agreement described below) over 100% of the outstanding shares of each of CME NV and CME BV pursuant to (i) a Pledge Agreement on Shares of CME NV among CME, CME NV and Time Warner, dated February 19, 2016 (“ CME NV Pledge ”) and (ii) a Deed of Pledge of Shares in CME BV by and among CME NV, CME BV and Time Warner, dated February 19, 2016 (“ CME BV Pledge ”).
The above descriptions of the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement Guarantee, the CME NV Pledge and the CME BV Pledge are incomplete and qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement Guarantee, the CME NV Pledge and the CME BV Pledge, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
CME Intercreditor Agreement
On February 19, 2016, CME entered into a Deed of Amendment (the “ Deed of Amendment ”) to the Intercreditor Agreement originally dated as of July 21, 2006 (as amended and restated from time to time, including in connection with the Deed of Amendment, the " CME Intercreditor Agreement ") among CME, CME NV, CME BV, Time Warner, as CME credit guarantor under the Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement, Deutsche Bank Trust Company America, as trustee under the 2017 PIK Notes, and Time Warner, as agent under the Time Warner Term Loan and under the Existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement.
The parties to the CME Intercreditor Agreement have agreed, among other things, to share on a ratable basis any proceeds received by any party thereto upon enforcement of any of the security, irrespective of the ranking of the security documents granting security over such collateral. The CME Intercreditor Agreement provides that all secured parties will accelerate their indebtedness and cooperate in respect of enforcement of the relevant collateral subject to the CME Intercreditor Agreement if any secured party seeks enforcement.
The above descriptions of the Deed of Amendment and CME Intercreditor Agreement are incomplete and qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Deed of Amendment and the CME Intercreditor Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.12 and 10.13 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

(a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date; provided that, if the redemption of the 2017 PIK Notes shall not have been consummated on or before the third Business Day following the Closing Date, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall be immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of Borrower accrued hereunder.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof, and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10.     Prepayment of Loans .
(a)    On or after February 19, 2020, Borrower shall have a right from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.15 and Section 2.16), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(b)    Prior to February 19, 2020, Borrower shall not prepay any Borrowing except as permitted or required under the Reimbursement Agreement (i) out of the net proceeds of specified asset sales, issuances of equity securities, insurance events or specified insurance payments, (ii) following a Change of Control (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) of CME or (iii) at any time CME’s Consolidated Net Leverage (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) is lower than the level specified in the Reimbursement Agreement (5.0x as of the Signing Date) for two consecutive fiscal quarters, in which case any such prepayment shall be without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.15 and Section 2.16), and subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(c)    Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or email) of any prepayment hereunder in accordance with SCHEDULE 2.03(A). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the participating Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of €1,000,000 and not less than €10,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.
SECTION 2.11.     Fees . (a) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or its Affiliate, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Borrower and the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate.
(b)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error in the calculation and/or payment thereof.
SECTION 2.12.     Interest . (a) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Euribor Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Base Rate.

20



(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and (iv) all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of all Loans shall be payable upon the Maturity Date.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that the Base Rate and Euribor Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to disclose to any Lender any information regarding any Reference Bank or any rate provided by such Reference Bank in accordance with the definition of “Euribor Rate” or “Euro Overnight Rate”, including, without limitation, whether a Reference Bank has provided a rate or the rate provided by any individual Reference Bank).
SECTION 2.13.     Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
(a)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining for such Interest Period the Euribor Rate; or
(b)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Lenders holding a majority of the Credit Exposures that for such Interest Period the Euribor Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders by telephone or facsimile or email as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any such Borrowing shall, unless otherwise repaid by Borrower, be converted to (as of the last day of the then current Interest Period) a Base Rate Borrowing (to the extent, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination, it is practicable to do so).
SECTION 2.14.     Increased Costs . (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Euribor Rate); or
(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;
(in each case other than Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and Taxes on gross or net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes)) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered.

21



(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered in respect of the Loans made by such Lender hereunder.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions unless a Lender gives notice to Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under this Section within six months after the later of (i) the date such Lender incurs such increased costs, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (ii) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of such increased cost, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction referred to above if it shall not be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any (it being understood that this sentence shall not in any way limit the discretion of any Lender to waive the right to demand such compensation in any given case).
SECTION 2.15.     Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b) or Guarantor pursuant to Section 2.18(c), then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any applicable Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit in Euro equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Euribor Rate, for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in Euro from other banks in the Eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

22



SECTION 2.16.     Taxes . (a) Each payment made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If Borrower or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then Borrower or the Administrative Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be), receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) with respect to which the relevant withholding was made.
(b) Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable by Borrower under this Section unless such amounts have been included in any amount paid pursuant to Section 2.16(a)) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and Borrower, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes or, in the case of Borrower, Excluded Taxes, attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or Borrower, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes (or, in the case of Borrower, Excluded Taxes) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for the portion of any interest, expenses or penalties that are found by a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Lender by the Administrative Agent or Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund or credit in respect of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund or credit to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund, as determined by such Lender in its reasonable discretion, or credit, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower ( plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority.
(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, 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.

23



(g) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Credit Party is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Credit Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Credit Party, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(h) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Time Warner (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a statement signed by an authorized signatory of the Lender that it is a U.S. Person and, if necessary to avoid United States backup withholding, a duly completed and signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that such Lender is organized under the laws of the United States and is not subject to United States backup withholding.
(i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(j) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require any Lender to disclose any confidential information regarding its tax returns or affairs.
SECTION 2.17.     Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs . (a)  Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall, unless the Administrative Agent is able to distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders on such date, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent in New York at the offices for the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 9.01, and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient in like funds promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder, whether such payments are made in respect of principal or interest shall be made in Euros; provided that any other payments (not in respect of principal or interest) may be paid in Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due from Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due from Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

24



(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon owing by Borrower than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders owing from Borrower to the extent necessary 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; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any application of funds attributable to the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower 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 Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of such Lenders, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 interest rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as the rate applicable for overnight settlements between banks for the amount paid by the Administrative Agent on behalf of Borrower.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.17(d) or 9.03(c) or shall otherwise become a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from or on behalf of any Credit Party or otherwise in respect of the Obligations to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
SECTION 2.18.     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Purchase Option . (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, 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 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

25



(b) (i) If any Lender (x) requests compensation under Section 2.14, or (y) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other modification that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders) and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, or (ii) if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then Borrower, CME Guarantor and Time Warner, acting together, may, at Borrower’s 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 Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that, solely in the case of clause (y) above, has consented to such proposed amendment, waiver or other modification, that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower, CME Guarantor and Time Warner shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall, in each case, not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment in cash of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will be made to a Lender reasonably expected to result in a reduction in the compensation or payments to be paid by Borrower pursuant to such section, and (iv) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other modification, the Eligible Assignee shall have given such consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower, CME Guarantor and Time Warner to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(c) If at any time an Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under the Reimbursement Agreement, Time Warner may, without the consent of Borrower or CME Guarantor, at Time Warner’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Borrower and CME Guarantor and all, but not less than all, Lenders and the Administrative Agent, require such Lenders, within three Business Days following such notice, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, other than any requirement of Borrower consent), all their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to Time Warner or any of its Affiliates; provided that each such Lender shall have received payment in cash of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from Time Warner or such Affiliate (the date such assignment is complete, the “ Purchase Date ”). By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans pursuant to the terms of the form of the Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The foregoing shall not limit the obligation of each Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance in connection with an automatic assignment pursuant to this paragraph (c), however any failure to so execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (whether prior to such assignment or promptly following such assignment) shall not affect the validity of such assignment.
SECTION 2.19.     Intentionally Omitted .

26



SECTION 2.20.     Adoption of the Euro . Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro in any Participating Member State and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. Each obligation under this Agreement of a party to this Agreement which has been denominated in the National Currency Unit of a Subsequent Participant shall be redenominated into the Euro in accordance with EMU Legislation immediately upon such Subsequent Participant becoming a Participating Member State (but otherwise in accordance with EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any Subsequent Participant, the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to such currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such Subsequent Participant becomes a Participating Member State; provided that if any Loan in the currency of such Subsequent Participant which is subject to an Interest Period is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Loan, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
SECTION 2.21.     Intentionally Omitted .
SECTION 2.22.     Defaulting Lenders . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    Borrower, CME Guarantor and Time Warner, acting together, may, at Borrower’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Defaulting Lender to assign, novate and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Loans to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment or novation); provided that (i) so long as such Defaulting Lender is not the same Lender (or an Affiliate thereof) serving as the Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower, CME Guarantor and Time Warner shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) any such assignment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Defaulting Lender; and
(b)    the Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby (if such Defaulting Lender is a Lender affected thereby).
ARTICLE III

SECTION 6.08.     Unrestricted Subsidiaries . (a) SCHEDULE 6.08 sets forth those Subsidiaries of Guarantor that have been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of the Signing Date, which Subsidiaries do not include any Subsidiary Guarantors. Guarantor may designate any other of its Subsidiaries (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) as Unrestricted Subsidiaries from time to time in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.08. Guarantor will not designate any of its Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless at the time such Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, before and after giving effect to such designation on a pro forma basis, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as certified in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent at the time of such designation. Such Officers’ Certificate also shall state the specific purpose for which such designation is being made. All Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Additionally, if a Lender is not also a lender under the Time Warner Credit Agreement, in the event Time Warner delivers to the Administrative Agent a copy of any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.08 of the Time Warner Credit Agreement, Time Warner will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this Section 6.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the Signing Date, any amendment, waiver, consent, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification of Section 6.08 of the Time Warner Credit Agreement modifies the requirements therein so they are no longer the same as those in this Section 6.08, this paragraph shall not apply.

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Each bank serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

41



The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all the Lenders) and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all the Lenders, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VII and Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by CME Guarantor or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under any Credit Document or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in the Credit Documents or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by a proper Person. An initial list of the respective proper Persons with respect to each of the Credit Parties appears on Schedule 8. Schedule 8 shall not be altered except in writing by a Person appearing thereon (or by a successor to such Person occupying the equivalent office). The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon so long as such statement, in the case of a Borrowing Request, complies with the requirements of Section 2.03 in all material respects (it being understood that oral notices of borrowing will be confirmed in writing by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03). In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

42



Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, (i) the Administrative Agent may be removed by Time Warner at any time after the Purchase Date and (ii) the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor which, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Administrative Agent is removed pursuant to clause (i) above, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed or retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor; provided that the predecessor Administrative Agent shall pay the unearned portion of any fees paid in advance to either the successor Administrative Agent or Borrower. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their Credit Exposures in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Article VIII (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Credit Exposures immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(c) To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s pro rata share (which shall be a percentage equal to the sum of such Lender’s Credit Exposure divided by the sum of the Credit Exposure of all the Lenders as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04.     Successors and Assigns . (a) 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 no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender except in accordance with Section 6.04 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

46



(b) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, each of Borrower, CME Guarantor, Time Warner and the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that, with respect to Borrower, CME Guarantor and Time Warner, such consent shall be deemed to have been given if Borrower or Time Warner, as applicable, has not responded to a proposed assignment within fifteen Business Days following its receipt of notice of such proposed assignment, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining balance of the assigning Lender’s Loans, each assignment of Loans shall not be less than an aggregate principal amount of €15,000,000, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining balance of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the remaining amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender after giving effect to such assignment shall not be less than €15,000,000 unless, in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii), each of Borrower, CME Guarantor, Time Warner and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, (iv) 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, (v) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender on or about the Closing Date, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500, and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided further that any consent of Borrower, CME Guarantor or Time Warner otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall (i) continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03) and (ii) continue to be subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 paragraph (e) of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder without the consent of Borrower, CME Guarantor, Time Warner or the Administrative Agent any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and 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.
(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

47



(e) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, without the consent of any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans 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 applicable Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders 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, modification or waiver described in the first and second provisos to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, any Credit Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Credit Party, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 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 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 2.16 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(g) as though it were a Lender.
(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h) Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (g) above.
(i) Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided , however , that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.


48



SECTION 9.05.     Survival . All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Except as provided in Article IV, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07.     Severability . Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08.     Right of Setoff . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender that is primarily engaged in commercial banking activities and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any of the Credit Parties (other than indebtedness related to commercial advertising and marketing arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business) against any of and all the obligations of any of the Credit Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

In addition, after this Agreement has been publically disclosed by Borrower, CME Guarantor or Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and any Lender in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Commitments and the Loans.

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, including in accordance with Regulation FD as promulgated by the SEC.

The obligation of Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to either the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally adjudged to be due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the Agreement Currency (as converted on the date of final judgment), Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally adjudged to be due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). The obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 9.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.17.     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

Each Lender shall notify Time Warner promptly of any such setoff and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
(b)    Historic TW hereby authorizes each Lender at any time and from time to time when any amounts owed by Time Warner under this Guarantee are due and payable and have not been paid (taking into account any applicable grace periods), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Historic TW (other than indebtedness related to commercial advertising and marketing arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business) against any of and all of the obligations of Historic TW to such Lender hereunder now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment. Each Lender shall notify Historic TW promptly of any such setoff and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

5. No Subrogation .

6. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights . Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations and Historic TW Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations and Historic TW Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations and/or Historic TW Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations and/or Historic TW Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

7. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional . Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations and/or Historic TW Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between Borrower or any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations or Historic TW Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, any of the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations or Historic TW Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) whether or not any of the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations or Historic TW Obligations are from time to time reduced, or extinguished (other than pursuant to Section 2(e) above), whether or not recovery may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations or otherwise, and despite any arrangement or composition entered into in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrower from the Obligations, of Time Warner from the Time Warner Obligations or of Historic TW from the Historic TW Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making a demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations or Historic TW Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, any such other Guarantor or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower, any such other Guarantor or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
8. Reinstatement . This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations, Time Warner Obligations or Historic TW Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
9. Payments . Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or counterclaim in the applicable Currency at the office of the Administrative Agent as designated by the Administrative Agent.

11. Authority of Administrative Agent . Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and any or all of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Guarantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
12. Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Guarantor shall be effected in the manner provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.
13. Severability . Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
14. Integration . This Guarantee and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of each Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein or in the other Credit Documents.
15. Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the applicable Guarantor and the Administrative Agent; provided that any right, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising under this Guarantee may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent; provided further that no such amendment or waiver shall release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder without the written consent of each Lender.
16. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors . Any term or provision of any Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Guarantee, and the guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Time Warner certifying that such Subsidiary Guarantor has no outstanding Indebtedness For Borrowed Money as of the date of such certificate, other than any other guarantee of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money that will be released concurrently with the release of such guarantee. In connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Time Warner or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, at Time Warner’s expense, all documents and shall take all such actions as are reasonably requested by Time Warner to evidence such release and to effect the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantees and other obligations contained in the Guarantee. The execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

B- 7



17. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
18. Section Headings . The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
19. Successors and Assigns . This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
20. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnity . (a) Each Guarantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under this Guarantee or otherwise enforcing or protecting any rights under this Guarantee and the other Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, as and to the extent provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Time Warner shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “ Indemnitee ”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or by the Credit Agreement, (ii) any Loan or the use of, or the proposed use of, the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Guarantor, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Guarantor, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or a Related Party of such Indemnitee).
21. Appointment of Time Warner as Agent . Each of Historic TW, TBS and HBO hereby irrevocably appoints Time Warner to act on its behalf as agent (in such capacity the “Agent”) under the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Reimbursement Documents (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf, and exercise such rights and remedies on its behalf, as Time Warner deems necessary under the Reimbursement Agreement and other Reimbursement Documents. Time Warner hereby accepts such appointment to so act as Agent on behalf of each of Historic TW, TBS and HBO. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not affect in any manner the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guarantee or the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Guarantee.
22. Counterparts . This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the Guarantors on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

C-2



(c) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and section and paragraph references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified.
(d)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Guarantee .
(a)    The CME Guarantor hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(b)    This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
(c)    The CME Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.
(d)    Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the CME Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the CME Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
(e)    No payment or payments made by Borrower, the CME Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from Borrower, the CME Guarantor, or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the CME Guarantor hereunder who shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made by the CME Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from the CME Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of the CME Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
3. Right of Setoff . The CME Guarantor hereby authorizes each Lender at any time and from time to time when any amounts owed by Borrower under the Credit Agreement are due and payable and have not been paid (taking into account any applicable grace periods), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the CME Guarantor against any of and all of the obligations of the CME Guarantor to such Lender hereunder now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment. Each Lender shall notify the CME Guarantor promptly of any such setoff and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

C-3



4. No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the CME Guarantor hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the CME Guarantor by any Lender, the CME Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the CME Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower in respect of payments made by the CME Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the CME Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the CME Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the CME Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the CME Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the CME Guarantor (duly indorsed by the CME Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
5. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights . The CME Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the CME Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the CME Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto.

C-4



6. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional . The CME Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between Borrower or the CME Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. The CME Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Borrower or the CME Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, any of the Obligations, or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) whether or not any of the Obligations are from time to time reduced, or extinguished (other than pursuant to Section 2(b) above), whether or not recovery may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations or otherwise, and despite any arrangement or composition entered into in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Borrower or the CME Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrower from the Obligations or of the CME Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making a demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the CME Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower, the CME Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, the CME Guarantor or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower, the CME Guarantor or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the CME Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the CME Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
7. Reinstatement . This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or the CME Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or the CME Guarantor or any substantial part of Borrower’s or the CME Guarantor’s property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
8. Payments . The CME Guarantor hereby agrees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or counterclaim in the applicable Currency at the office of the Administrative Agent as designated by the Administrative Agent.
9. Representations and Warranties . To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to Borrower thereunder, the CME Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement as they relate to the CME Guarantor or to the Credit Documents to which the CME Guarantor is a party, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct as of the date hereof, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein.

C-5



10. Authority of Administrative Agent . The CME Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the CME Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the CME Guarantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
11. Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the CME Guarantor shall be effected in the manner provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; any such notice, request or demand to or upon the CME Guarantor shall be addressed to the CME Guarantor at its notice address as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
12. Severability . Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13. Integration . This Guarantee and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the CME Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by the CME Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein or in the other Credit Documents.
14. Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the CME Guarantor and the Administrative Agent; provided that any right, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising under this Guarantee may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent; provided further that no such amendment or waiver shall release the CME Guarantor from its obligations hereunder without the written consent of each Lender.
15. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 14 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
16. Section Headings . The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
17. Successors and Assigns . This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the CME Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that the CME Guarantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

When making a demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the CME Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower, the CME Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, the CME Guarantor or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower, the CME Guarantor or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the CME Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the CME Guarantor.

15. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 14 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
16. Section Headings . The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

FORM OF CME BV GUARANTEE

GUARANTEE, dated as of February 19, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “ Guarantee ”), made by CME MEDIA ENTERPRISES B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the “ CME Subsidiary Guarantor ”) in favor of BNP PARIBAS, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “ Administrative Agent ”) for the lenders (the “ Lenders ”) party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2014, as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”), among CENTRAL EUROPEAN MEDIA ENTERPRISES LTD., an exempted limited company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (“ CME ”), TIME WARNER INC., a Delaware corporation (“ Time Warner ”), as a guarantor, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally made Loans (as defined below) to Borrower (as defined below) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, in connection with that certain Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2016 (the “ Amendment ”), the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver this Guarantee to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;
WHEREAS, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor has determined that its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee may reasonably be expected to benefit the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, and be in the interest of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor; and
WHEREAS, this Guarantee is the CME BV Guarantee as defined in and contemplated by the Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

(b)    As used herein, “ Obligations ” means the collective reference to the unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans and all other obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the maturity of the Loans and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to Borrower whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, in each case (x) whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document), and (y) whether or not allowed or allowable in any insolvency proceeding involving Borrower.

C-1



ANNEX III TO
SECOND AMENDMENT

(c)    The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and section and paragraph references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified.
(d)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Guarantee .
(a)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(b)    This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
(c)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.
(d)    Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
(e)    No payment or payments made by Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder who shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
3. Right of Setoff . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby authorizes each Lender at any time and from time to time when any amounts owed by Borrower under the Credit Agreement are due and payable and have not been paid (taking into account any applicable grace periods), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all of the obligations of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor to such Lender hereunder now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment. Each Lender shall notify the CME Subsidiary Guarantor promptly of any such setoff and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

C-2


ANNEX III TO
SECOND AMENDMENT

4. No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor by any Lender, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the CME Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower in respect of payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the CME Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
5. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto.

C-3


ANNEX III TO
SECOND AMENDMENT

6. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. The CME Subsidiary Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, any of the Obligations, or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) whether or not any of the Obligations are from time to time reduced, or extinguished (other than pursuant to Section 2(b) above), whether or not recovery may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations or otherwise, and despite any arrangement or composition entered into in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrower from the Obligations or of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making a demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the CME Subsidiary Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
7. Reinstatement . This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of Borrower’s or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor’s property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
8. Payments . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or counterclaim in the applicable Currency at the office of the Administrative Agent as designated by the Administrative Agent.
9. Representations and Warranties . To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Amendment and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to Borrower thereunder, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement as they relate to the CME Subsidiary Guarantor as Credit Party are true and correct as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein.

C-4


ANNEX III TO
SECOND AMENDMENT

10. Authority of Administrative Agent . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
11. Effectiveness . This Guarantee shall become effective on the Second Amendment Effective Date as contemplated by Section 4 of the Amendment.
12. Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be effected in the manner provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; any notice, request or demand to or upon the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall be addressed to the CME Subsidiary Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.
13. Severability . Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
14. Integration . This Guarantee and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein or in the other Credit Documents.
15. Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor and the Administrative Agent; provided that any right, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising under this Guarantee may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent; provided further that no such amendment or waiver shall release the CME Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder without the written consent of each Lender.
16. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
17. Section Headings . The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
18. Successors and Assigns . This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that the CME Subsidiary Guarantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

20. Counterparts . This Guarantee may be executed in any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

(c)    no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the CME Subsidiary Guarantor and the Lenders.
22. GOVERNING LAW . THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
23. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process . (a) The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.

(d)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Guarantee .
(a)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(b)    This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
(c)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.

Each Lender shall notify the CME Subsidiary Guarantor promptly of any such setoff and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

C-2

ANNEX III TO
FIRST AMENDMENT


4. No Subrogation .

ANNEX III TO
FIRST AMENDMENT

GUARANTEE, dated as of February 19, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “ Guarantee ”), made by CME MEDIA ENTERPRISES B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (the “ CME Subsidiary Guarantor ”) in favor of BNP PARIBAS, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “ Administrative Agent ”) for the lenders (the “ Lenders ”) party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2014, as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”), among CENTRAL EUROPEAN MEDIA ENTERPRISES LTD., an exempted limited company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (“ CME ”), TIME WARNER INC., a Delaware corporation (“ Time Warner ”), as a guarantor, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally made Loans (as defined below) to Borrower (as defined below) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, in connection with that certain Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2016 (the “ Amendment ”), the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver this Guarantee to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;
WHEREAS, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor has determined that its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee may reasonably be expected to benefit the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, and be in the interest of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor; and
WHEREAS, this Guarantee is the CME BV Guarantee as defined in and contemplated by the Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
(a)    As used herein, “ Borrower ” means CME (or a successor or assign permitted pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement).
(b)    As used herein, “ Obligations ” means the collective reference to the unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans and all other obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the maturity of the Loans and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to Borrower whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, in each case (x) whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document), and (y) whether or not allowed or allowable in any insolvency proceeding involving Borrower.



(c)    The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and section and paragraph references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified.
(d)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Guarantee .
(a)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(b)    This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
(c)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.
(d)    Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
(e)    No payment or payments made by Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder who shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
3. Right of Setoff . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby authorizes each Lender at any time and from time to time when any amounts owed by Borrower under the Credit Agreement are due and payable and have not been paid (taking into account any applicable grace periods), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all of the obligations of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor to such Lender hereunder now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment. Each Lender shall notify the CME Subsidiary Guarantor promptly of any such setoff and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

2


4. No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor by any Lender, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the CME Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower in respect of payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the CME Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
5. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto.

3

When making a demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the CME Subsidiary Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor.

8. Payments . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or counterclaim in the applicable Currency at the office of the Administrative Agent as designated by the Administrative Agent.

WHEREAS, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor has determined that its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee may reasonably be expected to benefit the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, and be in the interest of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows:
1. Defined Terms . Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
(a)    As used herein, “ Borrower ” means CME (or a successor or assign permitted pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement).
(b)    As used herein, “ Obligations ” means the collective reference to the unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans and all other obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the maturity of the Loans and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to Borrower whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, in each case (x) whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document), and (y) whether or not allowed or allowable in any insolvency proceeding involving Borrower.



(c)    The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and section and paragraph references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified.
(d)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Guarantee .
(a)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(b)    This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
(c)    The CME Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.
(d)    Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
(e)    No payment or payments made by Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder who shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated.
3. Right of Setoff . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby authorizes each Lender at any time and from time to time when any amounts owed by Borrower under the Credit Agreement are due and payable and have not been paid (taking into account any applicable grace periods), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all of the obligations of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor to such Lender hereunder now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment. Each Lender shall notify the CME Subsidiary Guarantor promptly of any such setoff and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

2


4. No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor by any Lender, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the CME Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower in respect of payments made by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Lenders’ commitments, if any, to make Loans under the Credit Agreement are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the CME Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
5. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto.

3


6. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. The CME Subsidiary Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, any of the Obligations, or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) whether or not any of the Obligations are from time to time reduced, or extinguished (other than pursuant to Section 2(b) above), whether or not recovery may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations or otherwise, and despite any arrangement or composition entered into in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrower from the Obligations or of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making a demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the CME Subsidiary Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the CME Subsidiary Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
7. Reinstatement . This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of Borrower’s or the CME Subsidiary Guarantor’s property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
8. Payments . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or counterclaim in the applicable Currency at the office of the Administrative Agent as designated by the Administrative Agent.
9. Representations and Warranties . To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Amendment and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to Borrower thereunder, the CME Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement as they relate to the CME Subsidiary Guarantor as Credit Party are true and correct as of the First Amendment Effective Date, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein.

4


10. Authority of Administrative Agent . The CME Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the CME Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

13. Severability . Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
14. Integration . This Guarantee and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the CME Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein or in the other Credit Documents.
15. Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the CME Subsidiary Guarantor and the Administrative Agent; provided that any right, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising under this Guarantee may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent; provided further that no such amendment or waiver shall release the CME Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder without the written consent of each Lender.
16. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
17. Section Headings . The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

When determining a Group member’s capacity to incur additional Financial Indebtedness, investments or any other obligations or amounts that are limited by a threshold basket under Article V , the Dollar equivalent of all outstanding and additional obligations or amounts that are denominated in foreign currencies shall be calculated at the exchange rate publicly reported by Bloomberg (or such other sources as the Administrative Agent may agree) as of the date of such incurrence for the purpose of testing compliance with such threshold basket.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum amount of Financial Indebtedness, investments and any other obligations or amounts that a Group member has incurred under Article V shall not be deemed to be exceeded for the purpose of determining the existence of a Default or Event of Default solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies after the date of such incurrence.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Loans (denominated in Dollars) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) the sum of the total Credit Exposures exceeding the sum of the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.
Section 2.02     Loans .
(a)    Each Loan shall be made as a part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.
(b)    Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.10 , each Loan Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as Borrower may request in accordance herewith.
(c)    Each Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Loans hereunder shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $20,000,000.

Section 2.03     Requests for Loans . To request a Loan, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) before the date of the proposed Loan and deliver a Borrowing Request in respect of such proposed borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be delivered by hand delivery, fax or emailed pdf of the Borrowing Request and shall be signed by Borrower. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and be binding on Borrower and shall specify the following information:
(i)    the aggregate principal amount of the requested Loan;
(ii)    the date of such Loan, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    the Type of Loans to be borrowed (ABR or Eurodollar);
(iv)    if a Eurodollar Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto (one (1) month or three (3) months);
(v)    that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied in full as of the date of the Borrowing Request; and
(vi)    the location and number of Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.
If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be deemed an ABR Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03 , the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04     Funding of Loans .
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any 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 paragraph (a) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to 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 Administrative Agent shall have the right to demand payment from the applicable Lender and/or Borrower and they each severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Alternate Base Rate or (ii) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate that would otherwise apply to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and such payment shall absolve any obligation of Borrower in respect of any demand made under this Section 2.04 in respect of such Loan.

28



Section 2.05     Interest Elections .
(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.

Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile or email pdf to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by Borrower.
(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 :

(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election (one (1) or three (3) months).
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each participating Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing having a one-month Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall specify the applicable Commitment to be terminated or reduced and shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of such Commitment delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another event, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commitments shall automatically be reduced from $115,000,000 (or such lesser amount as Borrower shall have voluntarily reduced the Commitments) to $50,000,000 on January 1, 2018, without further action by Borrower, Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.07 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender and substantially in the form of with respect to Loans, in the form of a revolving loan note attached hereto as Exhibit C (each such note, a “ Revolving Loan Note ”).

30



Section 2.08     Prepayment of Loans .
(a)    Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the manner of prepayment, the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that any such notice of prepayment may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another event, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Loan, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be applied towards a reduction of the principal amount of then outstanding Loans. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.09 .
Section 2.09     Interest .
(a)    Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section , Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan owing by Borrower to the Lenders from the date of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, as follows:
(i)    Each Loan comprising an ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate then in effect (subject to increase pursuant to paragraph (b) below following a Change of Control); and
(ii)    Each Loan comprising a Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate then in effect (subject to increase pursuant to paragraph (b) below following a Change of Control).
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to paragraph (c) of this Section, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan owing by Borrower to the Lenders from the date that is 180 days following a Change of Control until such principal amount shall be paid in full, as follows:
(i)    Each Loan comprising an ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Change of Control Rate; and
(ii)    Each Loan comprising a Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Change of Control Rate.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the rate applicable to Loans as provided in paragraph (a) or (b) , as applicable, of this Section payable in cash.

31



(d)    Subject to the minimum cash requirements set forth in paragraph (e) of this Section, Borrower may elect (an “ Election ”) to (i) with respect to all of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, pay all accrued interest fully in cash (a “ Cash Election ”) or (ii) with respect to all of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, pay the Cash Portion and pay the remainder of the accrued interest, in an amount equal to the PIK Portion, by adding such amount to the principal amount of the Loans pursuant to paragraph (e) below (a “ PIK Election ”). Borrower shall make an Election with respect to each Interest Payment Date by providing notice to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Interest Payment Date, with such Election to specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loan and whether Borrower is making a Cash Election or PIK Election with respect to such amount. If an Election is not made by Borrower in a timely fashion or at all with respect to the method of payment of interest for an Interest Payment Date, a PIK Election shall be deemed to have been made with respect to such Interest Payment Date; provided that so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no PIK Election in respect of payment of interest shall be permitted.
(e)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan in cash based upon the Cash Election or at the option of the Borrower, in cash (the “ Cash Portion ”) and in kind (the “ PIK Portion ”) based upon the PIK Election, as follows:
(i)    the Cash Portion will be calculated as the amount equal to (i) (x) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (for any Eurodollar Loans) or the Alternate Base Rate (for any ABR Loans), plus the Cash Rate (subject to increase pursuant to paragraph (b) above following a Change of Control) or the highest rate specified in the Cash Election, multiplied by (ii) the average daily principal amount of the Loans outstanding during such period; and
(ii)    the PIK Portion will be calculated as the amount equal to (i) the applicable PIK Rate (subject to increase pursuant to paragraph (b) above following a Change of Control) multiplied by (ii) the average daily principal amount of the Loans outstanding during such period. Once accrued and compounded, the PIK Portion (and all amounts subsequently accrued and compounded in respect thereof) will be treated as outstanding principal and will bear interest at a rate per annum set forth in paragraphs (a) or (b) , as applicable, of this Section 2.09 and will be payable as set forth in this Section 2.09 .
(f)    With respect to the principal amount of Loans for which a Cash Election has been made, accrued interest will be paid in full in cash. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes hereof, references to “principal amount” of the Loans refers to the face amount of the Loans and includes any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Loans as a result of a PIK Election.
(g)    All interest hereunder shall be computed (i) with respect to ABR Loans, on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and (ii) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(h)    All interest paid or payable in cash pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be paid in immediately available funds in Dollars. All interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable in cash on demand. In the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable in cash on the date of such repayment or prepayment. In the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefore, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. All accrued interest in respect of Loans shall be payable in cash on the Maturity Date.

32



Section 2.10     Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining for such Interest Period the Adjusted LIBO Rate; or
(b)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Lenders holding a majority of the Commitments that for such Interest Period the Adjusted LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and any such Borrowing referred to in such Interest Election Request shall, unless repaid by Borrower, be converted to (as of the last day of the then current Interest Period), or maintained as, an ABR Borrowing as the case may be (to the extent, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination, it is practicable to do so), and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall, unless otherwise rescinded by Borrower, be made as an ABR Loan (to the extent, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination, it is practicable to do so), and if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect fewer than all Types of Borrowings, then the other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted.
Section 2.11     Increased Costs .
(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;
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
and the direct result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such certificate promptly after such additional costs are incurred or reduction suffered. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.
(b)     Payment to Lenders . Borrower shall pay to any Lender, as long as such Lender or its Holding Company shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments, such additional costs or reduced rate of return (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs or reduced rate of return allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender or its Holding Company (as determined by the Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan.

33



(c)     Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180‑day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.12     Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance herewith), then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any applicable Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit in Dollars equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in Dollars from other banks in the Eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
Section 2.13     Illegality . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if the introduction of, or any change to or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to fund any Loans or (b) if as a result of any merger, consolidation, amalgamation or acquisition by or of Borrower or any Subsidiary with, into or of another Person it is or becomes unlawful due to group or company lending limitations for any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to fund any Loans, then (x) such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower upon becoming aware of that event and the Commitment of such Lender will be immediately cancelled and (y) Borrower shall repay the Loans granted to it by such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement, on or before such date as shall be mandated by law as specified by such Lender in the notice delivered to Borrower.
Section 2.14     Taxes .
(a)     Payments Free of Taxes . Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes. If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if any, to a Recipient, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14 ) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions for Indemnified Taxes and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount of Indemnified Taxes deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)     Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties . Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

34



(c)     Indemnification by Loan Parties . Without duplication of Sections 2.14(a) or (b) above, the applicable Loan Party shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14 ) paid by such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 a Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)     Evidence of Payments . As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the applicable Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party 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 Lender shall deliver such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding, backup withholding, deduction at source or information reporting requirements or as would be necessary for such Loan Party to obtain or apply for an authorization or exemption to make a payment hereunder without a Tax deduction or withholding (or at a reduced rate), including the provision of a residency certificate, if prescribed by law or reasonably requested by such Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(f)     Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.14(a )), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f) , in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)     Value Added Tax .
(i)    All consideration or other payments or amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any Loan Party to Recipient shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT. If VAT is to be added under applicable law to any consideration or other payments or amounts to be paid by any Loan Party in connection with a Loan Document, that Loan Party shall pay to the applicable Recipient or the relevant tax authority, as the case may be (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration or other payments or amounts), an amount equal to the amount of the VAT and the applicable Recipient shall promptly provide an invoice complying with the applicable VAT invoicing regulations to the relevant Loan Party.

Borrower 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 this subsection (c) may exercise against Borrower rights of set‑off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The Lenders and Borrower agree that, notwithstanding any provision contained in Section 7.06 , at any time Warner or any of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, each of Time Warner or such Affiliate shall be permitted to assign its rights and duties as Administrative Agent under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without requiring the prior consent of any Lender and without creating any duty to consult Borrower. Upon the occurrence of any such assignment, (i) the parties thereto shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, along with updated notice information for purposes of Section 8.01(a)(ii) , (ii) Time Warner or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents as if otherwise constituting a resignation under Section 7.06 at the time such Person makes such assignment and (iii) the assignee to such assignment shall be subject to all other rights and duties under this Article VII.
Section 7.02     Administrative Agent Individually .
(a)    The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “ Lender ” or “ Lenders ” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Each Lender is aware that the Administrative Agent or its affiliates owns equity interests in Borrower and, as an equity owner, may take or omit to take actions relating thereto or as a result of its equity ownership in its sole discretion.

Section 7.03     Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions .

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02 or Article VI ) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default and such event or events.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii) ) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan, and in the case of a Loan, such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 7.05     Delegation of Duties . The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.

After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 7.07     Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders .

(a)    The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars (pursuant to such obligation, the “ Obligation Currency ”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “ Judgment Currency ”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “ Judgment Currency Conversion Date ”).

(c)    For purposes of determining the rate of exchange for this Section 8.16 , such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.
Section 8.17     Independence of Covenants . All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 8.18     No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators or Stockholders . No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Loans, this Agreement or the Guarantees hereof, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Lender by making a Loan hereunder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for Borrower’s entry into this Agreement and its borrowing of Loans hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Guarantee Reimbursement Amount, Guarantee Fee or Commitment Fee, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Guarantee Reimbursement Amount, Guarantee Fee or Commitment Fee under applicable law (collectively the “ Charges ”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “ Maximum Rate ”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by CME Credit Guarantor in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of any Guarantee Reimbursement Amount, Guarantee Fee or Commitment Fee hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of any such Guarantee Reimbursement Amount, Guarantee Fee or Commitment Fee but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 7.12 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together (to the extent lawful) with interest thereon to the date of repayment, shall have been received by CME Credit Guarantor.
Section 7.13     No Waiver; Remedies . No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies of CME Credit Guarantor provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies that they would otherwise have.

61



Section 7.14     Judgment Currency .
(a)    The Reimbursement Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Reimbursement Documents to make payments in Dollars (pursuant to such obligation, the “ Obligation Currency ”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by CME Credit Guarantor of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to CME Credit Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Reimbursement Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Reimbursement Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “ Judgment Currency ”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by CME Credit Guarantor or if CME Credit Guarantor does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by CME Credit Guarantor) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “ Judgment Currency Conversion Date ”).
(b)    If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Reimbursement Parties covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, either (i) such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date, or (ii) such amount, in the Obligation Currency, equal to the amount of the applicable judgment denominated in Judgment currency, converted to the Obligation Currency in accordance with the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.
(c)    For purposes of determining the rate of exchange for this Section 7.14 , such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.
Section 7.15     Independence of Covenants . All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 7.16     No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators or Stockholders . No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of CME, or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of CME or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Guarantee Reimbursement Amount, this Agreement or the Guarantees hereof, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligation or their creation. CME Credit Guarantor waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for CME’s entry into this Agreement.
Section 7.17     Appointment of Time Warner as Agent . The parties acknowledge that each of the Time Warner Subsidiary Guarantors has in each of the CME Credit Guarantees appointed Time Warner to act on its behalf as agent (the “ Agent ”) under the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Reimbursement Documents, and has authorized Time Warner to take such actions on its behalf, and exercise such rights and remedies on its behalf, as Time Warner deems necessary under the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Reimbursement Documents.
Section 7.18     CME and CME BV Waiver. In each case except as contemplated in Section 2.01(b)(i) , to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of CME and CME BV hereby irrevocably waives any right of contribution or subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of any of the CME Guarantees (whether contractual, under Section 509 under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy,” as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor thereto or otherwise) from Time Warner or any of its Subsidiaries.

62



Section 7.19     2016 Refinancing Guarantee Fee Guarantee. CME hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely guarantees to Time Warner and its respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment by CME BV when due (whether on each Fee Payment Date, by acceleration or otherwise) of the 2016 Refinancing Guarantee Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, CME waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of 2016 Refinancing Guarantee Fee. CME waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon CME or CME BV with respect to the 2016 Refinancing Guarantee Fee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Reimbursement Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document, or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Time Warner, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by CME BV or any other Person against Time Warner, (c) whether or not the 2016 Refinancing Guarantee Fee from time to time is reduced, or extinguished, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations or otherwise, and despite any arrangement or composition entered into in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of CME or CME BV) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of CME BV from payment of the 2016 Refinancing Guarantee Fee or of CME under this guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
Section 7.20     Guarantee Payment Cooperation . Each of CME and Time Warner agrees to promptly notify the other party upon receipt of a payment demand notice from BNP Paribas as administrative agent under the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement, 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement or the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement in connection with the enforcement of any of the CME Credit Guarantee or the CME Guarantee. Following receipt of such notice, CME and Time Warner shall work in good faith to establish which party may satisfy the demand notice without a duplication of payment under any of the CME Credit Guarantee or the CME Guarantee.
Section 7.21     Setoff . CME Credit Guarantor is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all amounts (in whatever currency) at any time owing by CME Credit Guarantor to or for the credit or the account of CME under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document against any and all of the obligations (in whatever currency) of CME now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document to CME Credit Guarantor and/or any Time Warner Subsidiary Guarantor, irrespective of whether or not CME Credit Guarantor shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document, to the extent then due and payable.  CME is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all amounts (in whatever currency) at any time owing by CME to or for the credit or the account of CME Credit Guarantor and/or any Time Warner Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document against any and all of the obligations (in whatever currency) of CME Credit Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document to CME, irrespective of whether or not CME shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Reimbursement Document, to the extent then due and payable.  The rights of CME and CME Credit Guarantor under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such CME and CME Credit Guarantor may have.  Each of CME and CME Credit Guarantor agrees to notify the other 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.

63



Section 7.22     Restatement Effective Date .
(a)    On the 2016 Effective Date, the Original Reimbursement Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Reimbursement Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation of the Obligations under the Original Reimbursement Agreement or the other Reimbursement Documents as in effect prior to the 2016 Effective Date and which remain outstanding as of the 2016 Effective Date, (ii) the Obligations under the Original Reimbursement Agreement and the Security Documents are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby and which are in all respects hereinafter subject to the terms herein) and (iii) the liens and security interests as granted under the applicable Reimbursement Documents securing payment of such Obligations are in all respects continuing (without interruption (other than the security interests to be released with respect to the Original Reimbursement Agreement, which shall be released simultaneously with consummation of the repayment of the Term Loan Credit Agreement) and in full force and effect and are reaffirmed hereby.
(b)    On and after the 2016 Effective Date, (i) all references to the Original Reimbursement Agreement in the Reimbursement Documents (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the Original Reimbursement Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Original Reimbursement Agreement in any Reimbursement Document (but not herein) shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis , references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after the 2016 Effective Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Original Reimbursement Agreement as amended and restated hereby.
(c)    This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver or other modification, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Reimbursement Document, all terms and conditions of the Reimbursement Document remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or by any other Reimbursement Document.
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, any Default or Event of Default that occurred under the Original Reimbursement Agreement prior to the 2016 Effective Date and is continuing on the 2016 Effective Date shall constitute a Default or Event of Default, as applicable, under this Agreement.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTEE (this “ Guarantee ”) is made on February 19, 2016 (the “ Effective Date ”)    
BETWEEN:
(1)
CENTRAL EUROPEAN MEDIA ENTERPRISES N.V. a company incorporated under the laws of the former Netherlands Antilles and existing under the laws of Curaçao ( "CME NV" );
(2)
CME MEDIA ENTERPRISES B.V. a private limited liability company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Netherlands ( "CME BV" , and together with CME NV and any other entity that becomes a guarantor hereunder pursuant to clause 24 hereof, collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors" and each, a "Subsidiary Guarantor" ) as guarantors; and
(3)
TIME WARNER INC. as guarantor and as agent under the Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below) (the "CME Credit Guarantor" ).
Reference is hereby made to that certain Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of 14 November 2014, as amended and restated as of February 19, 2016 (as further restated, amended, modified, supplemented and in effect, the "Reimbursement Agreement" ), among Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. ( "CME Ltd" ), CME BV and the CME Credit Guarantor. Capitalised terms used in this Guarantee and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Reimbursement Agreement.
The Subsidiary Guarantors have entered into that certain Guarantee on November 14, 2014 in favour of CME Credit Guarantor (the “ Original Guarantee ”) whereby the Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee the Guarantee Reimbursement Amount, the Guarantee Fee and the Commitment Fee (each as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) due to the CME Credit Guarantor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement. Each Subsidiary Guarantor is an Affiliate of CME Ltd and will derive substantial benefits from the refinancing documents described in the Reimbursement Agreement. In connection with the Reimbursement Agreement, each Subsidiary Guarantor is willing to execute and deliver this Guarantee in order to induce the CME Credit Guarantor to provide the various guarantees in favour of the lenders described in the Reimbursement Agreement. Accordingly, for value received, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2



1.
GUARANTEE
Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally, irrevocably, and jointly and severally guarantees on a senior basis, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment of principal of, or interest on or in respect of (a) the Guarantee Reimbursement Amount, the Guarantee Fee and the Commitment Fee when due, under the Reimbursement Agreement (whether such obligation is due by CME Ltd or any Subsidiary of CME Ltd or with respect to any future obligation due by CME Ltd or any Subsidiary of CME Ltd as a result of any restatement, amendment, modification, or supplement to the Reimbursement Agreement) and the full and punctual payment of all expenses and indemnification payments owed by CME Ltd or any Subsidiary of CME Ltd in respect of its obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, (b) from and after the corresponding Purchase Date, the 2014 Third Party Loans, the 2015 Third Party Loans, and the 2016 Third Party Loans when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, under the 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement, the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement and the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement, as applicable, and the full and punctual payment of all unpaid fees, principal, interest, costs, indemnification payments, expenses or other obligations, owed by CME Ltd or any Subsidiary of CME Ltd in respect of the 2014 Third Party Loans, the 2015 Third Party Loans, and the 2016 Third Party Loans, as applicable, and (c) with respect to any loans (“ Additional Guaranteed Loans ”) under any additional third party credit facility (an “ Additional Guaranteed Credit Facility ”) of CME Ltd or any Subsidiary of CME Ltd is guaranteed by CME Credit Guarantor and pursuant to which where CME Credit Guarantor has a purchase option with respect to such Additional Guaranteed Loans under any such Additional Guaranteed Credit Facility that is substantially similar to the purchase option granted to CME Credit Guarantor under Section 2.18(c) of each of 2014 Third Party Credit Agreement, the 2015 Third Party Credit Agreement and the 2016 Third Party Credit Agreement, as applicable, from and after the applicable Purchase Date, such Additional Guaranteed Loans when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, under any Additional Guaranteed Credit Facility, as applicable, and the full and punctual payment of all unpaid fees, principal, interest, costs, indemnification payments, expenses or other obligations, owed by CME Ltd or any Subsidiary of CME Ltd in respect of such Additional Guaranteed Loans, as applicable (such obligations in clause (a), (b) and (c) to be calculated without duplication, the "Guaranteed Obligations" ). The Guaranteed Obligations shall include, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the CME Credit Guarantor in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee.
The guarantee hereunder is a guarantee of payment. If there occurs an Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest, if any, or any other payment obligations in respect of the amounts due under the Reimbursement Agreement, legal proceedings may be instituted directly against one or all of the Subsidiary Guarantors without first proceeding against CME Ltd.
2.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum that will result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or a violation of fraudulent restrictions under applicable insolvency and other laws.

3



3.
NO SUBROGATION
Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the CME Credit Guarantor against CME Ltd or any guarantee or right of offset held by the CME Credit Guarantor for the payment of amounts owed by CME Ltd and the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from CME Ltd in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, in each case until all Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unmatured Surviving Obligations) are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unmatured Surviving Obligations) shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Subsidiary Guarantor for and on behalf of, and to the extent possible under applicable law in trust for, the CME Credit Guarantor, segregated from other funds of the Subsidiary Guarantor and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the CME Credit Guarantor in the exact form received by the Subsidiary Guarantor (duly endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantor to the CME Credit Guarantor, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations. "Unmatured Surviving Obligations" of any Subsidiary Guarantor means any Guaranteed Obligations that by their terms survive the termination of the Reimbursement Agreement but are not, as of the date of payment of all other Guaranteed Obligations, due and payable and for which no outstanding claim has been made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, payments of principal and interest are not Unmatured Surviving Obligations.
4.
RELEASE AND DISCHARGE
(a)
This Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released without further action on the part of the CME Credit Guarantor (and thereupon shall terminate and be discharged and be of no further force and effect) upon full and final payment and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unmatured Surviving Obligations).
(b)
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor (together with any rights of contribution, subrogation or other similar rights against the Subsidiary Guarantor) will be automatically and unconditionally released without further action on the part of the CME Credit Guarantor (and thereupon shall terminate and be discharged and be of no further force and effect) so long as:
(i)
the Subsidiary Guarantor is disposed of (whether by amalgamation, merger, demerger, split‑up or consolidation, the sale, transfer or other disposal of all its Capital Stock or the sale, transfer or other disposal of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by a lease)) to an entity other than CME Ltd or any Subsidiary of CME Ltd in compliance with the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement;
(ii)
such Subsidiary Guarantor is simultaneously and unconditionally released from its obligations in respect of all other Indebtedness of CME Ltd or any other Subsidiary of CME Ltd; and
(iii)
the proceeds from such sale, transfer or other disposition are used for the purposes permitted or required by the Reimbursement Agreement.

4



5.
TERMINATION; REINSTATEMENT
Except for any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to clause 4 of this Guarantee, this Guarantee is a continuing, absolute and irrevocable guarantee of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guarantee are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unmatured Surviving Obligations). This Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of CME Ltd or a Subsidiary Guarantor is made, or the CME Credit Guarantor exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations 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 CME Credit Guarantor in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the CME Credit Guarantor is in possession of or has released this Guarantee and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this clause shall survive termination of this Guarantee.
6.
NO SETOFF OR DEDUCTIONS; TAXES; PAYMENTS
CME BV represents and warrants that it is incorporated and existing under the laws of the Netherlands, and CME NV represents and warrants it is incorporated under the laws of the former Netherlands Antilles and existing under the laws of Curaçao. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and subject to, and in accordance with, clause 2.02 of the Reimbursement Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guarantee. All payments under this Guarantee shall be made in accordance with clause 2.04 of the Reimbursement Agreement. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or governmental authority affecting CME Ltd, including, but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of CME Ltd 's property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where CME Ltd is located.
7.
RIGHTS OF CME CREDIT GUARANTOR
Subject to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, each Subsidiary Guarantor consents and agrees that the CME Credit Guarantor may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof:
(a)
amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; and
(b)
release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

5



8.
CERTAIN WAIVERS
Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives:
(a)
any defence arising by reason of any disability or other defence of CME Ltd or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the CME Credit Guarantor) of the liability of CME Ltd;
(b)
any defence based on any claim that such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of CME Ltd;
(c)
the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor's liability hereunder;
(d)
any right to require the CME Credit Guarantor to proceed against CME Ltd or pursue any other remedy in the CME Credit Guarantor's power whatsoever; and
(e)
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defences or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of non‑payment or non‑performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonour and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guarantee or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations; subject, however, to such Subsidiary Guarantor's right to make inquiry to the CME Credit Guarantor to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time.
9.
OBLIGATIONS INDEPENDENT
The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee whether or not CME Ltd or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
10.
SUBORDINATION
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of CME Ltd owing to such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, but not limited to, any obligation of CME Ltd to such Subsidiary Guarantor as subrogee of the CME Credit Guarantor resulting from such Subsidiary Guarantor's performance under this Guarantee, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unmatured Surviving Obligations). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and to the extent permitted under the Reimbursement Agreement, CME Ltd may make any payment to such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of such obligations and indebtedness. If the CME Credit Guarantor so requests at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of CME Ltd to such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Subsidiary Guarantor for and on behalf of, and to the extent possible under applicable law as trustee for, the CME Credit Guarantor and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the CME Credit Guarantor, on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee.

6



11.
STAY OF ACCELERATION
In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Subsidiary Guarantor or CME Ltd under any bankruptcy law, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors immediately upon written demand by the CME Credit Guarantor.
12.
EXPENSES
Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay all reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of the CME Credit Guarantor in accordance with clause 7.03 of the Reimbursement Agreement. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guarantee.
13.
MISCELLANEOUS
Subject to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement and clause 24 of this Guarantee, no provision of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the CME Credit Guarantor and each Subsidiary Guarantor. No failure by the CME Credit Guarantor to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10



(ii)
such amount, in the Obligation Currency, equal to the amount of the applicable judgment denominated in the Judgment Currency, converted to the Obligation Currency in accordance with the Judgment Currency Conversion Date; and
(c)
for purposes of determining the rate of exchange for this clause, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

Unless and until the whole of the Amount Outstanding has been paid in full, all Distribution Moneys shall, as among the 2014 Term Loan Agent (until the 2014 Term Loan Discharge Date), the 2014 RCF Agent, the 2014 Trustee (until the 2014 Notes Discharge Date) and the 2014 Guarantor, be applied and divided as follows:
(1)
first, pro rata in paying all proper costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in the enforcement of the Security or any part thereof or otherwise in collecting Distribution Moneys, which will be pro rata to the Amount Outstanding under the 2014 Term Loan Debt (until the 2014 Term Loan Discharge Date), the 2014 RCF Debt, the 2014 Notes Debt (until the 2014 Notes Discharge Date) and the 2014 Reimbursement Debt respectively;

(3)
last, in paying the surplus (if any) to the person or persons entitled thereto.
(b)
If the Distribution Moneys are or may be insufficient to pay in full all amounts due under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2), as the case may be, then the Distribution Moneys shall be apportioned for payment under Section 3.01(a)(1) or 3.01(a)(2), as the case may be, ratably and without preference or priority between the Secured Parties in the proportions that the part of the Amount Outstanding which is due in respect of, respectively, the 2014 Term Loan Debt (until the 2014 Term Loan Discharge Date), the 2014 RCF Debt, the 2014 Notes Debt (until the 2014 Notes Discharge Date) and the 2014 Reimbursement Debt at the date of such payment bears to the whole of the Amount Outstanding at such date.

(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the existence of a Foreign Exchange Event, none of the Secured Parties shall be required to share with the others any Distribution Moneys in a currency other than the local currency of the jurisdiction of such recovery (in this Section 3.01(c) referred to as the “ Local Currency ”) or proceeds of any Distribution Moneys which it recovers pro rata in accordance with Section 3.01(a) and 3.01(b) in any currency other than the Local Currency.
Section 3.02.
Notional Conversion of Amounts
For the purposes of determining the respective entitlements of the Secured Parties between themselves at any time or from time to time to any Distribution Moneys, the Secured Parties shall use USD as the currency of reference.

Hamilton, Bermuda – February 22, 2016 – Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (“CME” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ/Prague Stock Exchange: CETV) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, CME Media Enterprises B.V. (“CME BV”), entered into a new €469 million senior unsecured term credit facility agreement with BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”), as guarantor, the Company, as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto, and with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., SG Americas Securities, LLC, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation acting as joint-lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (the “Euro Term Loan”).
Loan proceeds under the Euro Term Loan will, together with corporate cash, be applied toward the repayment and discharge in full of CME’s 15.0% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 PIK Notes”), including accrued and unpaid interest, and repayment in full of the term loan under the term loan credit facility agreement between CME and Time Warner, as amended and restated as of November 14, 2014 (the “Time Warner Term Loan”). As of December 31, 2015, the principal amount of 2017 PIK Notes outstanding was $503 million and the principal amount of the Time Warner Term Loan was $38 million. CME issued a notice of redemption for the 2017 PIK Notes on February 22, 2016 and expects the redemption and discharge of the 2017 PIK Notes and the repayment of the Time Warner Term Loan to be completed on or about April 8, 2016.
Michael Del Nin, Co-Chief Executive Officer, commented: “These transactions, which significantly reduce our borrowing costs and improve the maturity profile of our debt, are a big win for all of our shareholders. Securing this refinancing reflects our determination to create shareholder value.”
Christoph Mainusch, Co-Chief Executive Officer added: “These transactions reinforce the financial position of the Company and ensure that we have the resources necessary to execute on our long-term plan.  We remain committed to maintaining our leadership position in all of the countries in which we operate.”



New €469 million Term Loan
The new Euro Term Loan will bear interest per annum in cash at three-month EURIBOR plus a margin between 1.07% and 1.90% (depending on the credit rating of Time Warner) and will mature on February 19, 2021. In connection with the Euro Term Loan, CME BV intends to enter into customary interest rate hedging arrangements guaranteed by Time Warner and by CME. Additionally, CME BV will pay Time Warner a guarantee fee at an all-in rate minus the rate of interest paid by CME BV under the Euro Term Loan (the “Guarantee Fee Rate”), multiplied by the principal amount of loans outstanding from time to time. This “all-in rate” will be measured quarterly on the basis of CME’s net leverage (as defined in the reimbursement agreement between CME and Time Warner in respect of the guarantees of CME’s third party credit facilities provided by Time Warner) and will range from 10.5% (in the event CME’s net leverage is greater than or equal to 8.0 times) to 7.0% (in the event CME’s net leverage is less than 5.0 times). The fee will be payable semi-annually, a portion of which must be paid in cash and the remainder may be paid in kind.
CME BV has the right to prepay the Euro Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty upon the occurrence of certain events, including when CME’s net leverage ratio is below 5.0 times for two consecutive quarters and at any time from February 19, 2020.
Existing €251 million Term Loan
CME also entered into an amendment to the senior unsecured term credit facility among CME, as borrower, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, Time Warner, as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto originally dated November 14, 2014 to, among other things, extend the maturity date by one year to November 1, 2018 and permit voluntary prepayment by CME in a manner similar to the new Euro Term Loan.
Amendment to Revolving Credit Facility
CME and Time Warner agreed to amend and restate the revolving loan credit facility agreement between CME and Time Warner, as originally dated as of February 28, 2014, and as amended and restated as of November 14, 2014 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) to, among other things, extend the maturity from November 2017 to February 2021 and secure US$ 50 million of liquidity for CME from 2018. The interest rate applicable to amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility remains 10%, but pricing also declines as our net leverage ratio improves in a similar manner to the all-in rate on the new Euro Term Loan.
