Prior to the seven (7) year anniversary of the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Company, no Significant Stockholder (so long as it is a Significant Stockholder) will, or will permit any other member of its Restricted Group to, make any public announcement with respect to, or submit a proposal for, or offer in respect of (with or without conditions) any transaction or series of transactions that would constitute or result in a Going-Private Transaction, unless such Going-Private Transaction: (a) which is not a tender or exchange offer made by any member of such Significant Stockholder’s Restricted Group, is (i) approved by the Board and determined by the Board to be fair to the stockholders of the Company who are not members of such Significant Stockholder’s Restricted Group, in each case with the approval of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, and (ii) approved by a majority of the outstanding Voting Securities not beneficially owned by members of such Significant Stockholder’s Restricted Group; or (b) which is a tender or exchange offer made by a member of such Significant Stockholder’s Restricted Group and is contingent upon (i) the acquisition of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not beneficially owned by members of such Significant Stockholder’s Restricted Group, and accompanied by an undertaking that such member of such Significant Stockholder’s Restricted Group shall acquire all of the shares of Common Stock, if any, that remain outstanding after the

completion of such tender or exchange offer in a merger at the same price per share paid in such tender or exchange offer and (ii) the disinterested members of the Board, being authorized on behalf of the full Board to take and disclose a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to such tender or exchange offer, not recommending that holders of shares of Common Stock refrain from tendering their shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer. To the extent the Company releases any other stockholder of the Company (other than the Macquarie Stockholder or the UBS Stockholder, if they are Significant Stockholders) from restrictions of the type described in this Section 3.3, then the Crestview Stockholder will also be released from the restrictions in this Section 3.3.

SECTION 3.4. Lock-Up Agreement. During the eighteen (18) month period after the Closing, the Crestview Stockholder agrees that it will not Transfer any Equity Securities without the prior written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Crestview Stockholder shall be permitted to Transfer all or any portion of its Equity Securities at any time under the following circumstances: (a) Transfers to any Affiliate (including any Affiliate of the Crestview Stockholder’s ultimate parent entity), so long as such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4; (b) Transfers pursuant to a merger, tender offer or exchange offer, or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or change of control, involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Board has approved such transaction or proposed transaction and has recommended it to the stockholders of Company (and has not withdrawn such recommendation); or (c) Transfers after the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.5. Additional Stock Transfer Limitations. Without the prior written consent of the Company, no Significant Stockholder shall, and each Significant Stockholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause members of its Restricted Group not to, directly or indirectly, Transfer Equity Securities (other than Excluded Transfers) to any Person who, to the knowledge of such Significant Stockholder, (a) is a Competing Entity, other than with the prior approval of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board or (b) immediately following the consummation of such Transfer would have (together with its Affiliates and any member of a Group that includes such Person) beneficial ownership of ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In connection with the consummation of a Transfer by any Significant Stockholder (x) described in clause (ii)(A) of the definition of Excluded Transfers, such transferring Stockholder agrees with the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect as wide a distribution of such Equity Securities as is reasonably practicable, and in connection with the consummation of a Transfer by any Significant Stockholder (y) described in clause (ii)(B) of the definition of Excluded Transfers, the broker-dealer shall be instructed by such Significant Stockholder not to Transfer any Equity Securities to any Person who, to the knowledge of the transferring Significant Stockholder, is a Competing Entity, other than with the prior approval of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. To the extent the Company releases any other stockholder of the Company from restrictions of the type described in this Section 3.5, the Crestview Stockholder will also be released from the restrictions in this Section 3.5.

SECTION 3.6. Exchange of Securities by the Crestview Stockholder. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, the Crestview Stockholder will be permitted, by delivery of

reasonable written notice to the Company and subject to compliance with the Communications Act and FCC Regulations, (a) to exchange all or any portion of the shares of Class A Common Stock held by it (including any shares issued to it upon exercise of the Crestview Class A Warrants) for the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock, (b) to exchange all or any portion of any shares of Class B Common Stock held by it for the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and (c) to exchange all or any portion of the shares of Class A Common Stock or any shares of Class B Common Stock held by it into Crestview Class A Warrants, or warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock, to purchase the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (as the case may be). Any warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock issued to the Crestview Stockholder pursuant to the preceding sentence will have a term of twenty (20) years from the date of issuance. The Company hereby agrees, promptly upon the request of the Crestview Stockholder and, subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities Laws, the Communications Act and FCC Regulations, to give effect to the foregoing exchange rights of the Crestview Stockholder, subject to receipt by the Company from the Crestview Stockholder of such reasonable assurances as to ownership of the applicable shares and such other documentation (which shall be in customary form) as the Company may reasonably request.

SECTION 3.7. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a sufficient number of its authorized but unissued shares of (i) Class A Common Stock for the purpose of issuing shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the Class A Warrants and (ii) Company Straight Preferred for the purpose of issuing shares of Company Straight Preferred as pay-in-kind dividends. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of such Class A Warrants, or the number of shares of Company Straight Preferred shall not be sufficient to permit the issuance of pay-in-kind dividends required by the terms of the Company Straight Preferred, the Company shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock or Company Straight Preferred, as applicable, to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose (and the Stockholders shall in their capacity as stockholders vote in favor of or consent to any such increase). The Company covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock issued and sold upon exercise of the Class A Warrants, and all shares of Company Straight Preferred issued as pay-in-kind dividends, shall be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free and clear of all liens of any kind or nature whatsoever.

SECTION 4.1. Not A “Group”. The Stockholders and the Company acknowledge that the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement are not intended to constitute the formation of a Group. Each Stockholder agrees that, for purposes of determining beneficial ownership of such Stockholder, it shall disclaim any beneficial ownership by virtue of this Agreement of the Company’s securities owned by the other Stockholders (or, in the case of the BofA Stockholders, the other Stockholders other than the BofA Stockholders), and the Company agrees to recognize such disclaimer in its Exchange Act and Securities Act reports.

SECTION 4.2. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the fifteenth (15^th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement, (b) a Sale of the Company, and (c) the date on which both (i) the rights of each Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.1(b) to nominate individuals for election to the Board, or to designate the Observer pursuant to Section 2.3, have terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(e) or Section 2.3, respectively, and (ii) no Stockholder that is a party to this Agreement continues to be a Significant Stockholder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, the rights and obligations of each Stockholder under this Agreement shall terminate on the date on which such Stockholder no longer beneficially owns any Equity Securities or, in the case of the Macquarie Stockholder, the date on which the Macquarie Stockholder and its Affiliates, collectively, cease to beneficially own at least $45.0 million of Company Straight Preferred (valued at liquidation value, without regard to the actual current market value thereof) or, in the case of the UBS Stockholder, the date on which the UBS Stockholder and its Affiliates cease to beneficially own UBS Warrants and shares of Class A Common Stock in such amounts as to cause the UBS Stockholder and its Affiliates to beneficially own at least 10,368,665 shares of Common Stock.

SECTION 4.3. Confidentiality. Each Stockholder agrees with the Company to, and agrees with the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, keep confidential and not divulge any Information; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent any Stockholder from disclosing such Information (a) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Stockholder or Representative, (c) to the extent required by Law or legal process or required or requested pursuant to subpoena, interrogatories or other discovery requests, (d) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (e) to other Stockholders, (f) to such Stockholder’s Representatives that in the reasonable judgment of such Stockholder need to know such Information, or (g) to any bona fide proposed Transferee in accordance with this Agreement as long as such Transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4.3 as a Stockholder or the disclosing Stockholder agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 4.3 by such proposed Transferee; provided, further, that, in the case of clause (a), (b) or (c), such Stockholder shall notify the Company of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as reasonably practicable and, if requested by the Company, use commercially reasonable efforts (but at the sole expense of the Company) to ensure that any Information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment, when and to the extent available.

SECTION 4.4. Other Activities of Certain Institutional Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in Article III of this Agreement (or any other agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) shall restrict the activities of the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder, the BofA Stockholders, the Blackstone Group Stockholders, or their respective Affiliates, in any capacity other than as a Significant Stockholder, to the extent any of the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder, the BofA Stockholders or the Blackstone Group Stockholders is a Significant Stockholder. By way of example, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not restrict the advisory or investment banking services offered by the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder, the BofA Stockholders, the Blackstone Group Stockholders, or their respective Affiliates, and shall not restrict the ability of the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder, the BofA Stockholders, the Blackstone Group Stockholders,

or their respective Affiliates, to Transfer, pledge or encumber Equity Securities on behalf of their respective clients, or any Transfer, pledge or encumbrance made by any Affiliate of any of the Blackstone Group Stockholders, the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder or the BofA Stockholders to the extent the business of such Affiliate is to trade for its account or the account of others (e.g., an asset manager or equity fund) (an “Equity Trading Business”); provided, that, to the extent any of the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder, the BofA Stockholders or the Blackstone Group Stockholders is a Significant Stockholder, the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder, the BofA Stockholders or the Blackstone Group Stockholder, or a transferee of any of such Significant Stockholders that is an Affiliate, as applicable, maintains, in accordance with its customary internal and industry practice, an information wall between the Macquarie Stockholder, the UBS Stockholder, the BofA Stockholders or the Blackstone Group Stockholders, as applicable, and its Affiliate engaged in an Equity Trading Business.

SECTION 4.5. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the approval of the Company and Stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding Common Stock (on an as-exercised basis, in the case of Class A Warrants) held by all Stockholders; provided, however, that (i) Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived in any manner adversely affecting the rights or obligations of any Stockholder which does not, by its terms, adversely affect the rights or obligations of all similarly situated Stockholders in a substantially similar manner without the consent of such Stockholder; (ii) no amendment, modification or waiver to Section 2.1 (directly or by amendment of the definitions used therein) shall adversely affect the rights of a Stockholder to designate nominee(s) for election to the Board (and, in the case of the Crestview Stockholder, to have one of its Director nominees appointed as lead director) without the consent of such Stockholder; (iii) no amendment, modification or waiver to any of Article III, Section 4.4 or Section 4.20 (directly or by amendment, modification or waiver of the definitions used therein) shall seek to restrict, or further restrict, the activities of, or impose additional Transfer restrictions with respect to securities of the Company held by, any Stockholder or its Affiliates without the consent of such Stockholder; (iv) none of Section 2.3, Section 3.1(b) or Section 4.20(d) may be amended (directly or by amendment, modification or waiver of the definitions used therein) without the consent of the Macquarie Stockholder; (v) amendment, modification or waiver of this Section 4.5 shall require the consent of each Stockholder; and (vi) any Stockholder may terminate or waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose.

SECTION 4.6. Successors, Assigns and Transferees. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(a) Restrictive Legend. All certificates representing Equity Securities held by each Significant Stockholder shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN A STOCKHOLDERS’

AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2011, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.”

(b) Securities Act Legend. All certificates representing the Equity Securities or shares of Company Straight Preferred held by each Stockholder shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.”

(c) Upon request of any Stockholder and receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the legend in clause (b) is no longer required under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, the Company shall promptly cause such legend to be removed from any certificate for any securities to be Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that an opinion of counsel shall not be required for a Transfer by any Stockholder that is (i) a partnership Transferring all of the assets owned by it to its partners or former partners, pro rata in accordance with their respective partnership interests, (ii) a corporation Transferring to a wholly-owned Subsidiary or a parent corporation that owns all of the capital stock of such Stockholder, (iii) a limited liability company Transferring all of the assets owned by it to its members or former members, pro rata in accordance with their respective interests in the limited liability company, (iv) an individual Transferring to such Stockholder’s family member or trust for the benefit of such Stockholder, or (v) Transferring its securities to any Affiliate of such Stockholder, in the case of an institutional Stockholder, or other Person under common management with such Stockholder; provided, further, that the Transferee in each case agrees to be subject to the restrictions in this section. The legend set forth in Section 4.7(a) shall be automatically removed upon the expiration of the Transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement or upon any Excluded Transfer (other than any Excluded Transfer pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof).

SECTION 4.8. Notices. All notices and other communications to be given to any party hereunder shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery service, or when received in the form of a facsimile or other electronic transmission (receipt confirmation requested), and shall be directed to the address set forth below (or at such other address or facsimile number as such party shall designate by like notice):

if to any other Stockholder, to the address of such other Stockholder as shown in Schedule A attached to this Agreement.

SECTION 4.9. Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

SECTION 4.10. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that they may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. This Agreement is not intended to confer in or on behalf of any Person not a party to this Agreement any rights, benefits, causes of action or remedies with respect to the subject matter or any provision thereof.

SECTION 4.11. Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by Law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

SECTION 4.12. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law rules that would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur for which money damages would not suffice in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law. It is accordingly agreed that any non-breaching party shall be entitled to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or another court sitting in the state of Delaware. Each party agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party under this Agreement. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to post a bond or undertaking in connection with such order or injunction sought in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.13(a). The provisions of this Section 4.13(a) are in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding in connection with or with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or another court sitting in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding in connection with or with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 4.13, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action

or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

(c) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process in any other action in connection with or relating to this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, by the personal delivery of copies of such process to such party or by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 4.8. Nothing in this Section 4.13 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 4.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party (i) certifies and acknowledges that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (ii) acknowledges that it understands and has considered the implications of this waiver and makes this waiver voluntarily, and that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 4.14.

SECTION 4.15. Termination of Existing Stockholder Agreements. Each of the Company and each Stockholder that is a party to any of the Existing Stockholder Agreements hereby consent to, and agree, that each of the Existing Stockholder Agreements shall be, and hereby is, terminated effective as of the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.16. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 4.17. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.18. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures provided by facsimile or electronic transmission in “pdf” or equivalent format will be deemed to be original signatures.

SECTION 4.19. Certain Indemnification Matters. The Company hereby acknowledges that an Indemnitee (as defined in the Charter) who is an officer, director, partner, member, manager, employee, managing director or Affiliate of, or a Director nominee pursuant to Section 2.1 of, a Stockholder (each such Indemnitee, a “Specified Indemnitee”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance pursuant to charter documents, constitutive agreements or other agreements with such Stockholder or Affiliates of such Stockholder or other Person (other than the Company and its Affiliates) of which such Specified Indemnitee is an officer, director, partner, member, manager, employee, managing director or Affiliate (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) The Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort for any claims or proceedings (collectively, “Covered Claims”) for which any Specified Indemnitee is entitled, under the Charter or otherwise, to indemnification by the Company (i.e., the Company’s obligations to each such Specified Indemnitee with respect to any Covered Claim are primary and any obligations of any Secondary Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such Specified Indemnitee with respect Covered Claims are secondary).

(b) Subject to paragraph (b) of Article XI of the Charter, the Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by any Specified Indemnitee in defending any Covered Claim in advance of such Covered Claim’s final disposition, without regard to any rights any such Specified Indemnitee may have against any Secondary Indemnitor.

(c) The Company hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each Secondary Indemnitor from any and all claims against such Secondary Indemnitor for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any Covered Claim.

The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by any Secondary Indemnitor on behalf of any such Specified Indemnitee with respect to any Covered Claim for which any such Specified Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and any such Secondary Indemnitor shall have a right of contribution and/or subrogation to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Specified Indemnitee against the Company. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Section 4.19 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Specified Indemnitee or Secondary Indemnitor existing prior to such repeal or modification.

(a) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) any Director who is also an officer, director, partner, member, manager, employee, managing director or Affiliate of, or a director nominee pursuant to Section 2.1 of, any of the BofA Stockholders, the Blackstone Group Stockholders or the Crestview Stockholder (any such Director, an “Institutional Director” and such Stockholders, together with the UBS Stockholder, collectively, the “Institutional Stockholders”) and (ii) each Institutional Stockholder and its Affiliates, may, and shall have no duty not to, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, manager, member or stockholder of any corporation or limited

liability company, or as an agent of or participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, (A) carry on and conduct, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Company, (B) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Company or its Affiliates, and (C) make investments in any kind of property or business in which the Company may make investments.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that, if any Institutional Director acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (i) such Institutional Director or an Institutional Stockholder or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, then, unless such opportunity is offered to such Institutional Director solely in such individual’s capacity as a Director, such Institutional Director shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in any such corporate opportunity and waives any claim against any Institutional Director, and shall indemnify each Institutional Director against any claim, that such Institutional Director is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Institutional Director (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for his own account or the account of any Institutional Stockholder, Affiliate, or other Person with which such Institutional Director is associated or employed, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another Person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company; provided, however, in each case, that any corporate opportunity that is offered to any Institutional Director solely in such individual’s capacity as a Director shall belong to the Corporation. Each Stockholder (for itself and on behalf of the Company) hereby acknowledges and consents to the foregoing.

(c) The Company and each Stockholder who is entitled, pursuant to Section 2.1(b), to designate a nominee for election to the Board shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, take all actions necessary or appropriate to cause the Board to adopt and approve the provisions of this Section 4.20.

(d) Nothing herein creates a fiduciary duty of the Observer to the Company, and the Company acknowledges that the Observer does not owe fiduciary duties to the Company under applicable Law.

SECTION 4.21. Blackstone Group Stockholders. Blackstone hereby covenants and agrees with the Company to, cause each other Blackstone Group Stockholder to comply with the provisions of this Agreement as though such other Blackstone Group Stockholder were a Stockholder party to this Agreement, including voting and executing written consents in respect of, and causing to be counted as present at stockholder meetings of the Company for purposes of obtaining a quorum, the shares of Common Stock owned by each other Blackstone Group Stockholder.

SECTION 5.1. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Stockholder as follows:

(a) the Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforcement hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity; and

(b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of the Charter or Bylaws.

SECTION 5.2. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants, solely with respect to itself, to each other Stockholder and to the Company as follows:

(a) such Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity; and

(b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder, the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of its charter, bylaws or other similar organizational documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Stockholders’ Agreement to be executed effective as of the date set forth in the first paragraph hereof.
