W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Viacom has requested that the Lenders provide extensions of credit to it and to certain Subsidiary Borrowers to be used for general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, acquisitions and commercial paper backup), which extensions of credit shall enable the Borrowers (as herein defined) to borrow loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 billion (except as increased or reduced pursuant to Section 2.10) on a revolving credit basis on and after the Closing Date (as herein defined) and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as herein defined); and
WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to extend credit to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.1. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:
"ABR Loan" shall mean any Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the provisions of Article II.
"Administrative Agent" shall mean Chase, together with its affiliates, as an arranger of the Commitments and as the administrative agent for the Lenders under this Agreement, and any successor thereto pursuant to Article VII.
"Administrative Agent Fee Letter" shall mean the Fee Letter with respect to this Agreement between Viacom and the Administrative Agent, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
"Administrative Agent's Fees" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.6(b). {PAGE}
2
"Administrative Questionnaire" shall mean an Administrative Questionnaire in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
"Affiliate" shall mean, as to Viacom, any Person which directly or indirectly controls, is under common control with or is controlled by Viacom. As used in this definition, "control" (including, with correlative meanings, "controlled by" and "under common control with") shall mean possession, directly or indirectly, of power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of securities or partnership or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise); provided that, in any event, any Person which owns directly or indirectly 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or other governing body of a corporation or 10% or more of the partnership or other ownership interests of any other Person (other than as a limited partner of such other Person) will be deemed to control such corporation or other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no individual shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of Viacom solely by reason of his or her being an officer, director or employee of Viacom or any of its Subsidiaries and (b) Viacom and Viacom International and their Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be Affiliates of each other, unless expressly stated to the contrary.
"Agents" shall mean the collective reference to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Sole Bookrunner and the Syndication Agent.
"Agreement" shall mean this 364-Day Credit Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
"Alternate Base Rate" shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%. For purposes hereof, "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Lender serving as the Administrative Agent as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City; each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date such change is publicly announced as effective; and "Federal Funds Effective Rate" shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be the Prime Rate until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.
"Applicable Facility Fee Rate" shall mean the "Applicable Facility Fee Rate" determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid set forth in Annex I

364-DAY CREDIT AGREEMENT
This 364-Day Credit Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2004, is among Aon Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the Lenders and Bank One, NA, a national banking association having its principal office in Chicago, Illinois, as LC Issuer and as Agent.
R E C I T A L S:
A. The Borrower has requested the Lenders to make financial accommodations to it in the aggregate principal amount of $337,500,000; and
B. The Lenders are willing to extend such financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements made herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS
As used in this Agreement:
"Advance" means a borrowing of Loans, (a) advanced by the Lenders on the same Borrowing Date, or (b) converted or continued by the Lenders on the same date of conversion or continuation, consisting, in either case, of the aggregate amount of the several Loans of the same Type and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, for the same Interest Period.
"Affiliate" of any Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person. A Person shall be deemed to control another Person if the controlling Person owns 10% or more of any class of voting securities (or other ownership interests) of the controlled Person or possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the controlled Person, whether through ownership of stock, by contract or otherwise.
