**Item 1.01** – **Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On February 23, 2023, Gray Television, Inc. ("Gray," or the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a three-year $300 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent ("Wells") for the purpose of providing additional liquidity in order to repay indebtedness under the Company's Senior Credit Facility (the "Senior Credit Facility").

In connection with the AR Facility, Gray Media Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Originator") will, pursuant to a Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2023 (the "Sale Agreement"), between the Originator, Gray, the various entities listed on Schedule I thereto and Gray AR, LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company (the "SPV"), sell and/or contribute its existing and future accounts receivable and certain related rights to the SPV.

Pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2023 (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"), by and among the SPV, the Company, as servicer, Wells, as administrative agent, and certain purchasers from time to time party thereto (the "Purchasers"), the SPV (a) sells certain of the receivables and related rights to the Purchasers ("Sold Receivables") and (b) guarantees the collection of the Sold Receivables and pledges the remaining receivables and related rights that it owns in order to secure such guarantee. The Company will service the accounts receivables on behalf of the SPV for a fee. In addition, pursuant to a Performance Undertaking, dated as of February 23, 2023 (the "Performance Undertaking"), between the Company and Wells, the Company has agreed to guaranty the performance by the Originator, in its capacity as originator and the Company in its capacity as servicer, of its obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and Sale Agreement. Neither the Originator nor the Company guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the AR Facility.

The SPV is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled to access the SPV's assets before the assets become available to the Company. Accordingly, the SPV's assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, although collections from the receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Purchasers and other creditors of the SPV may be remitted to the Company.

The Securitization Facility is subject to interest charges, at the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 100 basis points on the amount of the outstanding facility. The SPV is also required to pay an upfront fee and a commitment fee in connection with the Securitization Facility. On February 23, 2023, the Company drew $300 million under the Securitization Facility and intends to use the proceeds to pre-pay the outstanding principal balance of $295 million of Term Loan B under the Senior Credit Facility on March 1, 2023.

The Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale Agreement and the Performance Undertaking contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and termination events, including but not limited to those providing for the acceleration of amounts owed under the AR Facility if, among other things, the SPV fails to pay amounts due, the SPV becomes insolvent or subject to bankruptcy proceedings or certain judicial judgments or breaches of certain representations and warranties and covenants.

The foregoing descriptions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale Agreement and the Performance Undertaking are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale Agreement and the Performance Undertaking, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 8.01** – **Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of the Gray Credit Agreement Financial Covenant, and either the Seller or the Majority Purchasers shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Majority Purchasers); provided that, until so amended, (i) the Gray Credit Agreement Financial Covenant shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Seller shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the audited financial statements of the Parent with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 for all purposes, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto (provided that, in connection with all financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after the date of such accounting change, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a summary of the aggregate adjustments in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to reconcile such financial statements with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such accounting change, which schedule may be included in the Compliance Certificate).

**ARTICLE II**<br>**TERMS OF THE PURCHASES AND INVESTMENTS**

SECTION 2.01. <u>Purchase Facility</u>.

(a) <u>Investments</u>. Upon a request by the Seller pursuant to <u>Section 2.02</u>, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Purchasers shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, make payments of Capital to the Seller from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Termination Date. Each such payment of Capital by a Purchaser to the Seller shall constitute an Investment hereunder for all purposes. Under no circumstances shall any Purchaser be obligated to make any Investment if, after giving effect thereto:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Facility Limit at such time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser would exceed its Commitment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Capital Coverage Amount at such time.

(b) <u>Sale of Receivables and Other Sold Assets</u>. In consideration of the Purchasers' respective agreements to make Investments in accordance with the terms hereof, the Seller, on each Sale Date, hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder), all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising (collectively, the "<u>Sold Assets</u>"): (i) all Sold Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Sold Receivables and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing. Such sales, assignments and transfers by the Seller shall, in each case, occur and be deemed to occur for all purposes in accordance with the terms hereof automatically without further action, notice or consent of any party.

------

(c) <u>Intended Characterization as a Purchase and Sale</u>. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the transfer and conveyance of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder) on each Sale Date pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge for security, and such purchase and sale of the Sold Assets hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in <u>Sections 2.01(d)</u> and <u>14.14</u>). For the avoidance of doubt, this <u>clause (c)</u> shall not be construed to limit or otherwise modify <u>Section 5.05</u> or any rights, interests, liabilities or obligations of any party thereunder.

(d) <u>Obligations Not Assumed</u>. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the foregoing sales, assignments, transfers and conveyances set forth in <u>Section 2.01(b)</u> do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or liability of the Seller, any Originator, the Master Servicer, or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, any Sold Assets, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Seller, the Originators, the Master Servicer and such other Persons, as applicable.

(e) <u>Selection, Designation and Reporting of Sold Receivables</u>*.* The Seller (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall select and identify from the Pool Receivables all Sold Receivables to be sold pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(b)</u> in its sole discretion; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) the Seller shall ensure that each Sold Receivable is both (x) an Eligible Receivable and (y) a Billed Receivable, on the date when first included as a Sold Receivable, (ii) the Seller shall select Sold Receivables from the Pool Receivables on an invoice-by-invoice basis or on the basis of Pool Receivables otherwise specifically and separately identified in the financial records of the Seller, and the Seller shall transfer pursuant to <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>2.01(b)</u> 100% of its interest in any invoice or separately identified financial record that reflects Sold Receivables, such that all Receivables reflected or evidenced by such an invoice or separately identified financial record shall be included as Sold Receivables, and (iii) the Seller shall not permit the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Sold Receivables to exceed the Aggregate Capital at any time. The Seller shall maintain (or cause the Master Servicer to maintain) books and records sufficient to readily identify the Sold Receivables. The Seller and Master Servicer shall cause all Sold Receivables to be identified (i) on each Monthly Report delivered hereunder for which the related Cut-Off Date is the last day of a fiscal quarter of the Seller and (ii) on each other Monthly Report delivered hereunder to the extent that an Investment occurred during the related Calculation Period.

(f) <u>No Right to Repurchase or Obligation to Retransfer</u>. The Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that under no circumstance shall the Seller have any right to repurchase all or any portion of the Sold Assets from the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser. Additionally, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation to transfer all or any portion of the Sold Assets to the Seller.

------

SECTION 2.02. <u>Making Investments; Return of Capital</u>. (a) Each Investment hereunder shall be made on prior written request from the Seller to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser delivered on a Business Day in the form of an Investment Request attached hereto as <u>Exhibit</u><u> </u><u>A</u>. Each such request for an Investment shall be made no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such Investment (<u>it</u> <u>being</u> <u>understood</u> that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day) and shall specify (i) the amount of Capital requested (which amount shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and shall not (x) be less than $500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 and (y) cause the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Sold Receivables (after giving effect to the addition of Pool Receivables to the Sold Receivables in connection with such Investment) to exceed the Aggregate Capital), (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Purchasers (which shall be ratable based on the Commitments) and (iii) the date such requested Investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day). Unless the information in each Investment Request is also entered by the Seller on-line in the Administrative Agent's electronic "C.E.O." portal, the requested Investment shall be subject to (and unless the Administrative Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Investment shall not be funded until) satisfactory completion of the Administrative Agent's authentication process.

(b) <u>Funding Investments</u>.

(i) On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in <u>Article VI</u> and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this <u>Article II</u>, deliver to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to such Purchaser's ratable share of the amount of Capital requested. On the date of each Investment, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Seller, in immediately available funds, at the Facility Account, the amount of such Capital funded by all Purchasers on such date.

(ii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser, with a copy to the Seller, prior to the proposed date of any Investment that such Purchaser will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Purchaser's share of such Investment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Purchaser has made such share available on such date in accordance with the foregoing <u>clause (b)(i)</u> and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Purchaser has not in fact made its share of the applicable Investment available to the Administrative Agent, then such Purchaser and the Seller 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 the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of such Purchaser, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (B) in the case of the Seller, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Purchaser pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Purchaser's Investment. If the Seller and such Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period. If the Seller shall have returned any such amount with interest thereon to the Administrative Agent, then the outstanding Investments of the applicable Purchaser shall be reduced by such amount paid by the Seller (including the amount of interest thereon paid by the Seller). Any such payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

------

(c) Each Purchaser's obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Purchaser to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any Investment shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Investments are requested (<u>it</u> <u>being</u> <u>understood</u>, that no Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser to make funds available to the Seller in connection with any Investment hereunder).

(d) The Seller shall return in full the outstanding Capital of each Purchaser on the Seller Obligation Final Due Date. Prior thereto, the Seller shall, on each Settlement Date, reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required under <u>Section 4.01</u> and otherwise in accordance with such <u>Section 4.01</u> (subject to the priorities for payment set forth therein) by paying the amount of such reduction to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchasers in accordance with <u>Section 4.02</u>. Additionally, if on any Business Day a Responsible Officer of the Seller or the Master Servicer determines or is advised that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists, the Seller shall within one Business Day reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required to eliminate such Capital Coverage Deficit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to reduce, in whole or in part by payment in accordance with <u>Section 4.02</u>, the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers on any Business Day upon two (2) Business Days' prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser in the form of a Reduction Notice attached hereto as <u>Exhibit E</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>*,* that (i) each such reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u> that notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Capital Coverage Deficit existing at such time to zero and (ii) any accrued Yield and Fees in respect of the portion(s) of Capital so reduced shall be paid in full on the immediately following Settlement Date (or to the extent such reduction date is on a Settlement Date, on such Settlement Date).

(e) The Seller may, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part. Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than $150,000,000 unless terminated in whole. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Purchaser shall be ratably reduced.

------

(f) In connection with any reduction of the Facility Limit and the corresponding Commitments, the Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Purchasers, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) Capital of each Purchaser in excess of its Commitment as so reduced and (B) all other outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Seller Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction, by paying such amounts to the Purchasers.

(g) <u>Increases in Commitments</u>. So long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, the Seller may request on a one-time basis that the Purchasers ratably increase their respective Commitments, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000; <u>provided</u>, that such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000. At the time of sending such notice with respect to the Purchasers, the Seller (in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers) shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of such increase and (ii) the time period within which such Purchasers and the Administrative Agent are requested to respond to the Seller's request (which shall in no event be less than fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers). Each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller and the Master Servicer within the applicable time period whether or not such Person agrees, in its respective sole discretion, to make such ratable increase in such Purchaser's Commitment or otherwise agrees to any lesser increase in its Commitment. Any such Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Purchaser's Commitment. In the event that one or more Purchasers fails to consent to all or any portion of any such request for an increase in its Commitment, the Seller may (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) request that any unaccepted portion of the requested increases in Commitments be allocated to one or more willing Purchasers as agreed in writing among the Seller, the Administrative Agent and such willing Purchasers (in each case, in their sole discretion), such that such Purchasers' increase in their Commitment exceeds such Purchaser's ratable share. Any such Purchaser may agree, in its sole discretion, to such increase in its Commitment. To the extent that the requested Commitment increase has been validly requested in accordance with this <u>clause (g)</u> and all or any portion of such validly requested increase has been declined by the Purchasers, the Seller may add up to two additional Persons to this Agreement as Purchasers in accordance with <u>Section 14.03(i)</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the aggregate amount of new Commitments and Commitment increases effectuated pursuant to this <u>clause (i)</u> shall not exceed $100,000,000. If the Commitment of any Purchaser is increased or additional Person added as a Purchaser, in either case, in accordance with this <u>clause (g),</u> the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall (i) determine the effective date with respect to such increase and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser increasing or establishing its Commitment pursuant to this <u>clause (g)</u> may request any of (x) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Seller approving or consenting to such Commitment increase and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment to this Agreement, (y) a corporate and enforceability opinion of counsel of the Seller and (z) such other documents, agreements and opinions reasonably requested by such Purchaser or the Administrative Agent and (ii) if applicable, rebalance Capital among the Purchasers such that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Purchasers is distributed ratably among the Purchasers.

------

SECTION 2.03. <u>Yield and Fees</u>.

(a) On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in <u>Section 4.01</u>, pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent certain fees (collectively, the "<u>Fees</u>") in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Seller, the Purchasers and/or the Administrative Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the "<u>Fee Letter</u>"). Unused Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of a Defaulting Purchaser as provided in <u>Section 2.05</u>.

(b) Each Purchaser's Capital shall accrue Yield on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Yield Rate for such Capital (or each applicable portion thereof). The Seller shall pay all Yield and Fees accrued during each Yield Period on each Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in <u>Section 4.01</u>.

SECTION 2.04. <u>Records of Investments and Capital</u>. Each Purchaser shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Investment made by the Purchasers hereunder, the Yield Rate with respect to the related Capital (and each portion thereof), the Yield accrued on such Purchasers' Capital and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to <u>Section 14.03(c)</u>, such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Seller hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Purchaser, together with all Yield accruing thereon and all other Seller Obligations.

SECTION 2.05. <u>Defaulting Purchasers</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser:

(a) Unused Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Purchaser during any period that such Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser.

(b) The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Purchaser shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Purchasers have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to <u>Section 14.01</u>); <u>provided</u>, that, except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 14.01</u>, this <u>clause (b)</u> shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Purchaser in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Purchaser or each Purchaser directly affected thereby (if such Purchaser is directly affected thereby).

------

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Master Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Purchaser has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Purchaser to be a Defaulting Purchaser, then on such date such Purchaser shall purchase at par such of the Capital of the other Purchasers as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Purchaser to hold such Capital ratably in accordance with the Commitment of such Purchaser; <u>provided</u>, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Seller while such Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser that is not a Defaulting Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser having been a Defaulting Purchaser.

**ARTICLE III**<br>**SELLER GUARANTY**

SECTION 3.01. <u>Guaranty of Payment</u>. The Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>"), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the "<u>Seller Guaranty</u>"). The Seller Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. To the extent the obligations of the Seller hereunder in respect to the Seller Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then such obligations of the Seller shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws).

------

SECTION 3.02. <u>Unconditional Guaranty</u>. The obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Seller agrees that the Seller Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to any of the other Transaction Documents or any collateral, including the Sold Assets, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Obligations or otherwise, and the Seller hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Seller further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of the Seller Guaranty. The Seller further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Sold Assets or any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the Seller Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Seller's obligations under the Seller Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Seller that its obligations under the Seller Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Seller Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Performance Guarantor. The Seller hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on the Seller Guaranty or acceptance of the Seller Guaranty. All dealings between any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Seller Guaranty. The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Seller Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, Solvent. The Seller Guaranty and the obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Events of Termination) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Debt other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Sold Assets or other Seller Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Seller, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Seller as an obligor in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations.

------

SECTION 3.03. <u>Modifications</u>. The Seller agrees that: (a) all or any part of any security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligation now or hereafter held for any Guaranteed Obligation may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interest or lien now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Obligor, any Originator, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Performance Guarantor and any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of Contracts or any other agreements or documents governing or giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Seller, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

SECTION 3.04. <u>Waiver of Rights</u>. The Seller expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Seller Guaranty by the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest or lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests or liens, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations to which the Seller might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a condition of payment or performance by the Seller, to (A) proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person from any cause other than payment in full of the Sold Assets and the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any Applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent's or any Purchaser's errors or omissions in the administration of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Seller's liability under the Seller Guaranty or the enforcement of the Seller Guaranty, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement and the Seller Guaranty.

------

SECTION 3.05. <u>Reinstatement</u>. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of the Seller under this <u>Article III</u> shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Seller agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 3.06. <u>Remedies</u>. The Seller agrees that, as between the Seller, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in <u>Article X</u> (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in <u>Article X</u>) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Seller.

The Seller hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Payout Date has occurred. The Seller further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, any Originator, the Master Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 3.08. <u>Inducement</u>. The Purchasers have been induced to make the Investments under this Agreement in part based upon the Seller Guaranty that the Seller desires that the Seller Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Seller, should Administrative Agent and the Purchasers desire to do so.

SECTION 3.09. <u>Security Interest</u>.

(a) To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Guaranty and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and lien upon all property and assets of the Seller, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising and wherever located, including the following (collectively, the "<u>Seller Collateral</u>"): (i) all Unsold Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Unsold Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Unsold Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Sale Agreement; (vi) all other personal and fixture property or assets of the Seller of every kind and nature including, without limitation, all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC) and (vii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing. The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Seller Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as "all of the debtor's personal property or assets" or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.

(b) Immediately upon the occurrence of the Final Payout Date, the Seller Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Purchaser Parties hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Seller Collateral shall revert to the Seller; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that promptly following written request therefor by the Seller delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of the Seller, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Seller UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents as the Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of security interest pursuant to this <u>Section 3.09</u> shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(b)</u> or the Seller's grant of security interest pursuant to <u>Section 5.05</u>.

SECTION 3.10. <u>Further Assurances</u>. Promptly upon request, the Seller shall deliver such instruments, assignments or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser reasonably requires to evidence or perfect its security interest and lien on any of the Seller Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this <u>Article III</u>.

Amounts held in trust by the Master Servicer pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01(a)</u> may be commingled with other funds of the Master Servicer in one or more accounts of the Master Servicer or an Affiliate thereof that does not constitute a Collection Account (unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent at any time while an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing); <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that any such commingling shall not derogate from the Seller's or the Master Servicer's indemnification obligations with respect to commingling pursuant to <u>Section 13.01</u> and <u>13.02</u> or the Master Servicer's obligation to distribute Collection in accordance with this <u>Section 4.01(a)</u> on each Settlement Date. On each Settlement Date, the Master Servicer (or, following its assumption of control of the Collection Accounts (to the extent that funds have not previously been released by the Administrative Agent to the Master Servicer), the Administrative Agent) shall, distribute such Collections in the following order of priority:

(i) <u>first</u>, to the Master Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Yield Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Master Servicer);

------

(ii) <u>second</u>, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Purchaser and other Purchaser Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees due to such Purchaser and other Purchaser Party for the immediately preceding Yield Period (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under <u>Sections 5.03</u> and <u>13.01</u> in respect of such payments), plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Yield and Fees (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under <u>Sections 5.03</u> and <u>13.01</u> in respect of such payments) payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Purchaser or Purchaser Party;

(iii) <u>third</u>, as set forth in <u>clause (x)</u>, <u>(y)</u> or <u>(z)</u> below, as applicable:

(x) prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the extent that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists on such date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchasers (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Capital Coverage Deficit to zero ($0);

(y) on and after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser at such time; or

(z) prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, at the election of the Seller and in accordance with <u>Section 2.02(d)</u>, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Purchaser for the return of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers at such time (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time);

(iv) <u>fourth</u>, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Seller Obligations then due and owing by the Seller to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties; and

(v) <u>fifth</u>, the balance, if any, to be paid to the Seller for its own account.

Amounts payable pursuant to <u>clauses first</u> through <u>fourth</u> above shall be paid first from available Collections on Sold Receivables and other Sold Assets, and second, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables and other Seller Collateral. The Seller's right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to <u>clause fifth</u> above shall, to the extent arising from Collections on Sold Receivables, constitute compensation to the Seller for the Seller's provision of the Seller Guaranty and the Purchaser Parties' interests in the Seller Collateral.

------

(b) All payments or distributions to be made by the Master Servicer, the Seller and any other Person to the Purchasers (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the related Purchaser at its Purchaser's Account. Each Purchaser, upon its receipt in the applicable Purchaser's Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable related Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties ratably; <u>provided</u> that if such Purchaser shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Purchaser shall pay such amounts to the applicable Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties in accordance with the priority of payments forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person) among all such Persons entitled to payment thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this <u>Section 4.01</u>, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to distribute or pay any amount under this <u>Section 4.01</u> except to the extent actually received by the Administrative Agent. Additionally, each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to provide timely and accurate responses to each of the Administrative Agent's requests for information necessary for the Administrative Agent to make the allocations to the Purchasers required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including the applicable account of each Purchaser for which amounts should be distributed.

(c) If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Obligor or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party, such Affected Person or such Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount.

(d) For the purposes of this <u>Section 4.01</u>:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller, any Originator, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer, and an Obligor (any such reduction or adjustment, a "<u>Dilution</u>"), the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and, to the extent that either (x) the effect of such Dilution is to cause a Capital Coverage Deficit or (y) such Dilution occurs on or after the Termination Date or when an Event of Termination exists, shall within two (2) Business Days after written notice to, or knowledge thereof by a Responsible Officer of any Gray Party pay to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>4.01(a)</u>, an amount equal to (x) if such Dilution occurs prior to the Termination Date and at a time when no Event of Termination exists, the lesser of (A) the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such Dilution and (B) the amount necessary to eliminate any Capital Coverage Deficit and (y) if such Dilution occurs on or after the Termination Date or at any time when an Event of Termination exists, the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such Dilution;

------

(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>7.01</u> is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and, to the extent that either (x) the effect of such breach is to cause a Capital Coverage Deficit or (y) such breach occurs on or after the Termination Date or when an Event of Termination exists, shall within two (2) Business Days after written notice to, or knowledge thereof by, a Responsible Officer of any Gray Party pay to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>4.01(a)</u>, an amount equal to (x) if such breach occurs prior to the Termination Date and at a time when no Event of Termination exists, the lesser of (A) the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such breach and (B) the amount necessary to eliminate any Capital Coverage Deficit and (y) if such breach occurs on or after the Termination Date or at any time when an Event of Termination exists, the sum of all deemed Collections with respect to such breach (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to this <u>Section 4.01(d)</u> are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "<u>Deemed Collections</u>");

(iii) except as provided in <u>clauses (i)</u> or <u>(ii)</u> above or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

SECTION 4.02. <u>Payments and Computations, Etc</u>. (a) All amounts to be paid by the Seller or the Master Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder shall be paid no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account(s) designated by the Administrative Agent. All amounts to be paid by any Purchaser to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be paid no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account(s) designated by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Purchasers hereunder that the Seller (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) will not make such payment (including because Collections are not available therefor), the Administrative Agent may assume that the Seller has made or will make such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Purchasers the amount due. In such event, if the Seller (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) has not in fact made such payment, then each Purchaser severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Purchaser, 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

------

(b) <u>Interest on Unpaid Amounts</u>. Each of the Seller and the Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% <u>per annum</u> above the Alternative Base Rate, payable on demand.

(c) <u>Computational Conventions</u>. All computations of interest under <u>subsection (b)</u> above and all computations of Yield, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Alternative Base Rate at times when the Alternative Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Promptly upon notice by the Administrative Agent or any Affected Person, the Seller shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing authority or Governmental Authority (or to the Administrative Agent or such Affected Person if such Taxes have already been paid to the relevant taxing authority or Governmental Authority); <u>provided</u> that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Affected Person shall be under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Seller.

(d) <u>Indemnification by the Purchasers</u>. Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Seller and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Seller, the Master Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with <u>Section 14.03</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(i) <u>Updates</u>. Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this <u>Section 5.03</u> expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

------

(j) <u>Refunds</u>. 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 <u>Section 5.03</u> (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 5.03</u>), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this <u>Section 5.03</u> 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 <u>Section 5.03(j)</u> (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 <u>Section 5.03(j)</u>, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this <u>Section 5.03(j)</u> 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax 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.

SECTION 5.04. <u>Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability; Change in Legality</u>.

(a) Subject to <u>Section 5.06</u>, in connection with any request for any Investment accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Daily One Month Term SOFR with respect to a proposed Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield by reference to Daily One Month Term SOFR on any day or (ii) the Majority Purchasers shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Daily One Month Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers of making or maintaining any such Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, on any day and, in the case of <u>clause (ii)</u>, the Majority Purchasers have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Seller. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Seller, any obligation of the Purchasers to make Investments accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR and any right of the Seller to convert or continue any Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, as an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to <u>clause (ii)</u>, at the instruction of the Majority Purchasers) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Seller may revoke any pending request for a making of, conversion to or continuation of Investment or Portion of Capital accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, (to the extent of the affected Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable) or, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a making of or conversion to an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at the sum of the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, will be deemed to have been immediately converted into an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at the sum of the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to any Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at Daily One Month Term SOFR.

------

(b) If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Purchasers (or any of their respective lending offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Purchasers (or any of their respective lending offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Investment accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, or to determine or charge yield based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Daily One Month Term SOFR, such Purchaser shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Seller and the other Purchasers (an "<u>Illegality Notice</u>"). Thereafter, until each affected Purchaser notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Purchasers to make any Investment accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR and any right of the Seller to convert any request for an Investment to an Investment accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternative Base Rate without reference to <u>clause (c)</u> of the definition of "Alternative Base Rate". Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Seller shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all affected Investments or Portions of Capital, as applicable to an Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at the Alternative Base Rate (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Alternative Base Rate without reference to <u>clause (c)</u> of the definition of "Alternative Base Rate") with respect to any Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on the sum of the Daily One Month Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin, on the last day of the Yield Period therefor, if all affected Purchasers may lawfully continue to maintain such Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR to such day, or immediately, if any Purchaser may not lawfully continue to maintain such Investment or Portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR to such day.

SECTION 5.05. <u>Back-Up Security Interest</u>.

(a) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties stated in <u>Section 2.01(c)</u>, the sale, assignment and transfer of any Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder (including pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(b)</u>) is not treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in <u>Sections 2.01(d)</u> and <u>14.14</u>), then such sale, assignment and transfer of such Sold Assets shall be treated as the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) to secure the payment and performance of all the Seller's obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including all Seller Obligations). Therefore, as security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Yield and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising.

------

(b) The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Sold Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as "all of the debtor's personal property or assets" or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the grant of security interest pursuant to this <u>Section 5.05</u> shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(b)</u> or the Seller's grant of security interest pursuant to <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>3.09</u>, (ii) nothing in <u>Section 2.01</u> shall be construed as limiting the rights, interests (including any security interest), obligations or liabilities of any party under this <u>Section 5.05</u>, and (iii) subject to the foregoing <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(ii)</u>, this <u>Section 5.05</u> shall not be construed to contradict the intentions of the parties set forth in <u>Section 2.01(c)</u>.

SECTION 5.06. <u>Benchmark Replacement Setting</u>

(a) <u>Benchmark Replacement</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Seller may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Purchasers and the Seller so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Purchasers comprising the Majority Purchasers. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this <u>Section 5.06</u> will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) <u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes</u>. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c) <u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchasers of (i) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to <u>Section 5.06(d)</u>. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) pursuant to this <u>Section 5.06</u>, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this <u>Section 5.06</u>.

------

(d) <u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Yield Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to <u>clause (i)</u> above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Yield Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) <u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Seller's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any request for a conversion to or continuation of Investments to be made, converted or continued during such Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a conversion under the Alternative Base Rate. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternative Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternative Base Rate.

For the avoidance of doubt, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"<u>Benchmark Transition Start Date</u>" means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90<sup>th</sup> day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

SECTION 11.03. <u>Administrative Agent and Affiliates</u>. With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent.

The Purchaser Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Purchasers or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Purchaser, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Purchasers.

SECTION 11.07. <u>Notice of Events of Termination; Action by Administrative Agent</u>.

(g) Nothing in this <u>Section 11.10</u> will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient's receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

(i) except for an assignment by a Purchaser to either an Affiliate of such Purchaser or any other Purchaser, each such assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such consent shall not be required if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing);

(d) <u>Participations</u>.

(i) such Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged, and

(ii) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations.

The Administrative Agent, the other Purchasers, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser's rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections</u><u> </u><u>5.01</u> and <u>5.03</u> (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>5.03(f)</u>, <u>(g)</u> and <u>(i)</u> (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>5.03(f)</u>, <u>(g)</u> and <u>(i)</u> shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>clause</u><u> </u><u>(b)</u> of this Section; <u>provided</u> that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>5.01</u> or <u>5.03</u>, with respect to any participation, than its participating Purchaser would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

------

(e) <u>Participant Register</u>. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the Capital (and stated Yield) participated to each Participant, together with each Participant's interest in the other obligations under this Agreement (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Purchaser 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 Commitments, Capital, Yield or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Capital, Yield 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 Purchaser 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.

(g) <u>Assignments by the Seller or the Master Servicer</u>.

(i) <u>Addition of Purchasers</u>. The Seller may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers in accordance with <u>Section 2.02(g)</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Commitment of any existing Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Seller, an assumption agreement (each, an "<u>Assumption Agreement</u>") in the form of <u>Exhibit D</u> hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser, be executed by such Purchaser).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and any of the Gray Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (B) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Transaction Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

SECTION 14.09. <u>Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Termination</u>. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until the Final Payout Date; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the provisions of <u>Sections 5.01</u>, <u>5.03</u>, <u>11.04</u>, <u>11.10</u>, <u>13.01</u>, <u>13.02</u>, <u>14.04</u>, <u>14.05</u>, <u>14.06</u>, <u>14.09</u>, <u>14.11</u> and <u>14.13</u> shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

------

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF 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. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

(b) EACH OF THE SELLER AND THE MASTER SERVICER CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN <u>SECTION 14.02</u>. NOTHING IN THIS <u>SECTION 14.10</u> SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER PURCHASER PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

SECTION 14.11. <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

SECTION 14.12. <u>Ratable Payments</u>. If any Purchaser Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Seller Obligations in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser Party entitled to receive a ratable share of such Seller Obligations, such Purchaser Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Seller Obligations held by the other Purchaser Parties so that after such purchase each Purchaser Party will hold its ratable proportion of such Seller Obligations; <u>provided</u> that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

------

SECTION 14.13. <u>Limitation of Liability</u>.

(a) No claim may be made by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person against any Purchaser Party or their respective Affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and each of the Seller and the Master Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. None of the Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof result from the breach of contract, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Party in performing its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(b) The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Purchaser Parties under this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Person. No recourse shall be had for any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against any member, director, officer, employee or incorporator of any such Person.

SECTION 14.14. <u>Intent of the Parties</u>. The Seller has structured this Agreement with the intention that the obligations of the Seller hereunder (including the implementation of collections on Sold Receivables and Unsold Receivables under Article IV, obligation to return Capital to the Purchasers and make payments of Yield thereon) will be treated under United States federal, and applicable state and local tax law as debt (the "<u>Intended Tax Treatment</u>"). The Seller, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties agree to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by law. Each assignee and each Participant acquiring an interest in an Investment, by its acceptance of such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 14.15. <u>USA Patriot Act</u>. Each of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Purchaser Parties hereby notifies the Seller and the Master Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the "<u>PATRIOT Act</u>"), the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Seller, the Originators, the Master Servicer and the Performance Guarantor, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding the Seller, the Originators, the Master Servicer and the Performance Guarantor that will allow the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties to identify the Seller, the Originators, the Master Servicer and the Performance Guarantor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act. Each of the Seller and the Master Servicer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Parties, from time to time, with all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act.

------

SECTION 14.16. <u>Right of Setoff</u>. Each Purchaser Party is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have), at any time during the continuance of an Event of Termination, to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Purchaser Party (including by any branches or agencies of such Purchaser Party) to, or for the account of, the Seller or the Master Servicer against amounts owing by the Seller or the Master Servicer hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured); <u>provided</u> that such Purchaser Party shall notify the Seller or the Master Servicer, as applicable, promptly following such setoff.

SECTION 14.17. <u>Severability</u>. Any provisions of this Agreement which are 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.

SECTION 14.18. <u>Mutual Negotiations</u>. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party's involvement in the drafting thereof.

SECTION 14.19. <u>Captions and Cross References</u>. The various captions (including the table of contents) in this Agreement are provided solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to any Section, Schedule or Exhibit are to such Section Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, as the case may be, and references in any Section, subsection, or clause to any subsection, clause or subclause are to such subsection, clause or subclause of such Section, subsection or clause.

SECTION 14.20. <u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any swap contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>", and each such QFC, a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

------

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Purchaser shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this <u>Section 14.20</u>, the following terms have the following meanings:

"<u>BHC Act Affiliate</u>" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"<u>Covered Entity</u>" means any of the following: (i) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

"<u>Default Right</u>" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"<u>QFC</u>" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

SECTION 14.21. <u>Holding Company Reorganization</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) so long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Parent is in pro forma compliance with the Gray Credit Agreement Financial Covenant and the Debt Incurrence Test (as defined in the Gray Credit Agreement), in each case after giving effect to such Holding Company Reorganization (regardless of whether a Suspension Period (as defined in the Gray Credit Agreement) is in effect at such time), the Parent and its Subsidiaries may complete a Holding Company Reorganization to the extent such Holding Company Reorganization is then permitted under the Gray Credit Agreement. In furtherance of this <u>Section 14.21</u>, each Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Purchaser and without further action or consent by such Purchaser, to enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or to enter into additional Transaction Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to effectuate the terms of such Holding Company Reorganization; <u>provided</u> that:

------

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of such Holding Company Reorganization (which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the terms and structure of all proposed steps to effectuate such Holding Company Reorganization), not less than thirty (30) days prior to the completion of such Holding Company Reorganization;

(b) concurrently with the completion of such Holding Company Reorganization, the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) a reaffirmation agreement from each Gray Party (and, to the extent that Gray remains the Master Servicer hereunder, Gray) reaffirming such Person's obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and (ii) an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the New Servicer (to the extent that Gray is no longer the Master Servicer) which such agreement shall provide for the assumption by the New Servicer of all of the obligations of Gray as Master Servicer (to the extent that Gray is no longer the Master Servicer) as the "Master Servicer" hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, in each case, immediately prior to the completion of such Holding Company Reorganization;

(c) concurrently with the completion of such Holding Company Reorganization, the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Holding Company which such agreement shall provide for the assumption by the Holding Company of all of the obligations of Gray as Performance Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, in each case, immediately prior to the completion of such Holding Company Reorganization; (ii) a secretary certificate for the Holding Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with appropriate attachments; and (iii) updated schedules to this Agreement and such other updated schedules to the Transaction Documents as may be necessary to make the representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents true and correct in all material respects as of the date such Person is joined to any applicable Transaction Document (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects); and

(d) concurrently with the completion of such Holding Company Reorganization, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received all other documentation, including one or more opinions of counsel, which are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and which in its opinion is appropriate with respect to such Holding Company Reorganization, the New Servicer (to the extent that Gray is no longer the Master Servicer) and the Holding Company and (ii) each Purchaser shall have received all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act as it shall request.

------

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each document, agreement or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this <u>Section 14.21</u> will be a "Transaction Document" for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 14.22. <u>Post-Closing Covenants</u>.

(a) No later than the Post-Closing Date, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Control Agreement with respect to each Collection Account, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) No later than the Post-Closing Date, the Seller and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written opinion of counsel to the Gray Parties, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, covering enforceability and security interest perfection matters with respect to the Control Agreement referred to in <u>clause (a)</u> above.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the failure of the Seller or the Master Servicer to timely perform its obligations under this <u>Section 14.22</u> shall constitute an immediate Event of Termination under this Agreement with no grace period.

ARTICLE III<br> CONTRIBUTIONS AND PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 3.1 <u>Initial Contribution of Receivables and Initial Purchase Price Payment</u>.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Contributing Originator shall, and hereby does, contribute to the capital of the Buyer Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of the Contributing Originator that exists and is owing to the Contributing Originator on the Closing Date beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter such that the equity (taking into account any cash contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date) held by the Contributing Originator in the Buyer, after giving effect to such contribution of Receivables (the value of which shall be determined based on the Purchase Price definition), shall be at least equal to the Required Capital Amount. Each Receivable contributed by the Contributing Originator to the capital of the Buyer pursuant to this <u>Section 3.1(a)</u> and <u>Section 3.2</u> below is herein referred to as a "<u>Contributed Receivable</u>".

------

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Closing Date (i) to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and, solely in the case of the Contributing Originator if elected by the Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, by accepting a contribution to the Buyer's capital and (ii) the remainder by issuing a promissory note in the form of <u>Exhibit B</u> to such Originator (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a "<u>Subordinated Note</u>") with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining Purchase Price payable to such Originator not paid in cash or, in the case of the Contributing Originator, contributed to the Buyer's capital. Each Originator acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Subordinated Note and so long as it is a Holder, agrees to be bound by, and to comply with, all the terms of the Subordinated Note, including, without limitation, the Subordination Provisions.

SECTION 3.2 <u>Subsequent Purchase Price Payments</u>. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to each Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated by such Originator on such Payment Date:

(a)*<u>First</u>*, in cash to each Originator to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor (and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement);

(b)*<u>Second</u>*, solely in the case of the Contributing Originator, if elected by the Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, by accepting a contribution of such Receivable and the Related Rights as an increase to its capital in an amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price; and

(c)*<u>Third</u>*, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (y) the maximum increase in the principal balance of the applicable Subordinated Note that could be made without rendering the Buyer's Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount; 

<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if more than one Originator is selling Receivables to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments among the Originators in such a way as to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the respective aggregate principal amount outstanding under each Subordinated Note; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, <u>however</u>, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require the Contributing Originator to make any capital contribution to the Buyer.

"<u>Net Worth</u>" has the meaning set forth in the definition of "Seller's Net Worth" contained in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

------

All amounts paid by the Buyer to any Originator shall be allocated <u>first</u> to the payment of any Purchase Price then due and unpaid, <u>second</u> to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Note of such Originator and <u>third</u> to the repayment of the principal outstanding on the Subordinated Note of such Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal thereof as of the date of such payment before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose. The Master Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Subordinated Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and payments and reductions made pursuant to <u>Section 3.3</u>, and the Master Servicer's books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Subordinated Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Master Servicer to mark the Subordinated Notes "CANCELED" and to return such Subordinated Notes to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.

If, on any Business Day, the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price for Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this <u>Section 3.2</u>, then the Originators shall on such Business Day provide written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 3.3 <u>Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution</u>.

(a) If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from any Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in <u>Sections 5.5</u>, <u>5.12</u>, <u>5.13</u>, <u>5.20</u>, <u>5.22</u>, <u>5.23</u>, <u>5.26</u> or <u>5.27</u> are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) on any subsequent day, as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy, insolvency, financial inability to pay or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Originator, any of such representations or warranties set forth in <u>Sections 5.5</u>, <u>5.12</u>, <u>5.13</u>, <u>5.20</u>, <u>5.22</u>, <u>5.23</u>, <u>5.26</u> or <u>5.27</u> is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in <u>clause (c)</u> below; <u>provided</u>, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Buyer, any Originator, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer, an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer, and an Obligor, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in <u>clause (c)</u> below.

------

(c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to <u>clause (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Originator hereunder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u> if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables prior to the Settlement Date immediately following any such reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

(i) to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator; and

(ii) after making any deduction pursuant to <u>clause (i)</u> above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Originator on such Settlement Date subject to the following <u>proviso</u>;

<u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that at any time (x) when an Event of Termination or an Unmatured Event of Termination, exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (y) a Capital Coverage Deficit exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) when the Purchase and Sale Termination Date or the Termination Date has occurred, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Buyer in cash by deposit of immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Master Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

SECTION 5.1 <u>Due Organization and Qualification</u>.

(a) Such Originator (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, (ii) has the power and authority under its organizational documents and under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted and (iii) is duly qualified to do business, is in good standing as a foreign entity and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification, licenses or approvals, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

------

(b) Such Originator has all requisite Operating Agreements and Licenses to own and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted (it being recognized that certain Stations may, from time to time, operate pursuant to Special Temporary Authority granted by the FCC or may have pending FCC License renewal applications and, as a result, may be operating under such FCC Licenses pursuant to provisions of the Communications Laws that keep such FCC Licenses in effect until the FCC has taken final action on such renewal applications). Each material Operating Agreement and License was duly and validly issued pursuant to procedures which comply in all material respects with all requirements of Applicable Law. As of the Closing Date and at all times thereafter, such Originator has the right to use all material Licenses required in the ordinary course of business for all Stations and any Permitted Business, and each such License is in full force and effect (it being recognized that certain Stations may, from time to time, operate pursuant to Special Temporary Authority granted by the FCC or may have pending FCC License renewal applications and, as a result, may be operating under such FCC Licenses pursuant to provisions of the Communications Laws that keep such FCC License in effect until the FCC has taken final action on such renewal applications). Such Originator has taken all material actions and performed all of its material obligations that are necessary to maintain all material Licenses without adverse modification or impairment.

Each FCC License is held by a License Sub. None of the FCC Licenses requires that any present stockholder, director, officer or employee of such Originator remain a stockholder or employee of such Person, or that any transfer of control of such Person must be approved by any public or governmental body other than the FCC.

(c) Excluding any customary applications filed with the FCC seeking the renewal of a FCC License for so long as no Person has filed with the FCC a Petition to Deny such application, no Gray Party is a party to or has knowledge of any investigation, notice of apparent liability, violation, forfeiture or other order or complaint issued by or before any court or regulatory body, including the FCC, or of any other proceedings (other than proceedings relating to the radio or television industries generally) which could in any manner materially threaten or adversely affect the validity or continued effectiveness of the material Licenses of any such Person. No Gray Party has any reason to believe that any material Licenses of any Gray Party will not be renewed in the ordinary course. Each Gray Party (a) has duly filed in a timely manner all material filings, reports, applications, documents, instruments and information required to be filed by it under the Communication Act or pursuant to FCC Regulations or requests of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over any of its Licenses, (b) has submitted to the FCC on a timely basis all required equal employment opportunity reports, and (c) is in compliance with the Communications Laws, including all FCC Regulations relating to the broadcast of television signals, all FCC Regulations concerning the limits on the duration of advertising in children's programming and the record keeping obligations relating to such advertising, the Children's Television Act and all FCC Regulations promulgated thereunder and all equal employment opportunity-related FCC Regulations, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Exhibit B-6

------

11. <u>Maximum Interest</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Subordinated Note to the contrary, the Buyer shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the "<u>Highest Lawful Rate</u>"). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Subordinated Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Subordinated Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Buyer under this Subordinated Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Buyer under this Subordinated Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by Applicable Law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Buyer or any interest paid by the Buyer in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Buyer. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Subordinated Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the "<u>Originator</u><u>'</u><u>s Maximum Permissible Rate</u>") shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12. <u>Assignment</u>. The Originator may assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations deriving from this Subordinated Note to the Gray Credit Agreement Agent; <u>provided</u> that the Gray Credit Agreement Agent shall be deemed conclusively to have agreed for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, to the Subordination Provisions and shall be bound by such provisions. No Holder may sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Subordinated Note to any Person other than the Gray Credit Agreement Agent.

13. **<u>Governing Law</u>. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).**

14. <u>Captions</u>. Paragraph captions used in this Subordinated Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Subordinated Note.

The Performance Guarantor will (a) maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to promote compliance by the Performance Guarantor, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with all Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and applicable Sanctions, (b) notify the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser that previously received a Beneficial Ownership Certification of any change in the information provided in the Beneficial Ownership Certification that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified therein and (c) promptly upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, provide the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be, any information or documentation requested by it for purposes of complying with the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Ownership and Control</u>. The Performance Guarantor shall continue to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock and other equity interests of each Covered Entity and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Performance Guarantor shall not permit the occurrence of any Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Insurance</u>. The Performance Guarantor will maintain insurance, including, without limitation, business interruption coverage and public liability coverage insurance from responsible companies in such amounts and against such risks to the Performance Guarantor as is prudent for similarly situated companies engaged in the television broadcast industry or same industry as any other Permitted Business, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>ERISA</u>. The Performance Guarantor will, and will cause each of the Gray Parties and ERISA Affiliates to comply with the requirements of the Code and ERISA with respect to the operation of all Plans, except the extent that the failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Multiemployer Plan</u>. The Performance Guarantor shall not, and shall cause each of its ERISA Affiliates not to, enter into any Multiemployer Plan.

Section 10. <u>Subrogation; Subordination</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Final Payout Date, Performance Guarantor (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Administrative Agent or any Purchaser against any Covered Entity to the claims of Administrative Agent and the Purchasers against any Covered Entity and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and "claims" (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any Covered Entity that arise from the existence or performance of Performance Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (b) after the occurrence and continuance of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Covered Entity in respect of any liability of Performance Guarantor to such Covered Entity and (c) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers. The cash payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Covered Entity now or hereafter owed to Performance Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations in accordance with the following sentence. Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence and continuance of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Performance Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect cash payment of any such indebtedness of any Covered Entity to Performance Guarantor until the Final Payout Date. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, after the occurrence and continuance of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Performance Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Performance Guarantor as trustee for Administrative Agent (and its assigns) and be paid over to Administrative Agent (or its assigns) on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Performance Guarantor under the other provisions of this Undertaking.

------

Section 11. <u>Termination of Undertaking</u>. Performance Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until the Final Payout Date, provided that this Undertaking shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Covered Entity or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not Administrative Agent (or its assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

Section 12. <u>Effect of Bankruptcy</u>. This Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of any Covered Entity and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Covered Entity under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the Federal Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Covered Entity or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which such Covered Entity is subject shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

Section 13. <u>Taxes</u>. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If the Performance Guarantor is required by Applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers, as applicable, receive a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made; provided that any payments to be made to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be subject to compliance by such Person with Section 5.03(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

------

Section 14. <u>Indemnities by Performance Guarantor</u>. Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each a "<u>PG Indemnified Party</u>") from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, Taxes, liabilities, costs, reasonable expenses and for all other amounts payable, including Attorney Costs in suits by parties to the Transaction Documents against one another and by third parties (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as "<u>Indemnified Amounts</u>") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of: (i) any breach by Performance Guarantor of any of its obligations or duties under this Undertaking; (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Performance Guarantor hereunder or in any certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto; or (iii) the failure by Performance Guarantor to comply with any Applicable Law, rule or regulation with respect to this Undertaking, the transactions contemplated hereby, any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity, the Obligations or otherwise ***excluding, however,*** in all of the foregoing instances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the PG Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Pool Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same are Taxes (other than (I) as specifically enumerated above and (II) any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim).

Section 15. <u>Further Assurances</u>. Performance Guarantor will, at its own cost and expense, cause to be promptly and duly taken, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, documents and assurances as the Administrative Agent (or its assigns) may reasonably request from time to time in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Undertaking more effectively and the transactions contemplated by this Undertaking.

Section 16. <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. This Undertaking shall be binding upon Performance Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns. Except in connection with a Holding Company Reorganization effectuated in compliance with Section 14.21 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Performance Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (with the consent of all Purchasers). The Performance Guarantor acknowledges that pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Seller intends to assign or otherwise transfer its rights under the Sale Agreement, any other documents executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, to the Administrative Agent and/or the Purchasers, and such other entity or other person shall thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement evidencing such assignment, transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect thereof granted to the Administrative Agent herein. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that each of the Purchasers shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Undertaking.

Section 17. <u>Amendments and Waivers</u>. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Performance Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Majority Purchasers) and Performance Guarantor. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
