**<u>FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS</u>**

This report includes or incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about us, including, among other things, the following risks. All risk factors are deemed to be related to both Sinclair and its subsidiaries, including SBG. Any risks only applicable to Sinclair are denoted as such.

***Industry risks***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial and economic conditions, including inflation, may have an adverse impact on our industry, customers, business, and results of operations or financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of networks and syndicators that provide us with programming content, as well as the performance of internally originated programming;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* multi-channel video programming distributors ("MVPD") and virtual MVPDs ("vMVPD," and together with MVPDs, "Distributors") subscriber churn due to the impact of technological changes, the proliferation of over-the-top ("OTT") direct-to-consumer platforms, the loss of key entertainment and sports programming previously exclusively available to subscribers, and economic conditions on consumers' desire to pay for subscription services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the business conditions of the Distributors we do business with and their ability to pay to broadcast our content on their distribution platforms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the loss of appeal of our local news, network content, syndicated program content, and sports programming, which may be unpredictable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability and cost of programming from networks and syndicators, as well as the cost of internally originated programming;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for Sinclair, the availability and cost of rights to air professional tennis tournaments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our relationships with networks and their strategies to distribute their programming via means other than their local television affiliates, such as OTT or direct-to-consumer content;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• labor disputes and legislation and other union activity associated with film, acting, writing, music, and other guilds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the broadcasting community's ability to develop and adopt a viable mobile digital broadcast television ("mobile DTV") strategy and platform, such as the adoption of a next generation broadcast standard ("NextGen TV"), the consumer's appetite for mobile television, and the industry's acceptance of data distribution services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of programming payments charged by networks pursuant to their affiliation agreements with broadcasters requiring compensation for network programming;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effects of declining live/appointment viewership as reported through rating systems and local television efforts to adopt and receive credit for same day viewing plus viewing on-demand thereafter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in television rating measurement methodologies that could negatively impact audience results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* the ability of advertisers to coordinate and determine local advertising rates as a consortium;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the lack of our ability to negotiate directly with vMVPDs for the distribution of much of our content;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the operation of low power devices in the broadcast spectrum, which could interfere with our broadcast; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of Distributors and OTTs offering "skinny" programming bundles that may not include television broadcast stations or other programming that we distribute.

***Regulatory risks***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") proceeding regarding the roll-out of NextGen TV and the sunset of ATSC 1.0 could impact business-use cases for the NextGen TV technology and the timeframe for the discontinuance of ATSC 1.0;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential for additional governmental regulation of broadcasting or changes in those regulations and court actions interpreting those regulations, including ownership regulations limiting over-the-air television's ability to compete effectively (including regulations relating to joint sales agreements ("JSA"), shared services agreements ("SSA"), local marketing agreements ("LMA"), the national ownership cap, and the UHF discount), arbitrary enforcement by the FCC including indecency regulations, retransmission consent regulations, and political or other advertising restrictions, such as payola rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of FCC and Congressional efforts which may restrict a television station's retransmission consent negotiations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of FCC rules requiring broadcast stations to publish, among other information, political advertising rates online;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential impact of deregulation allowing the networks to purchase additional stations in our markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential impact from changes in lowest unit rate applicability associated with political advertising spots;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to obtain regulatory approval for transactions related to FCC licenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential impact from changes in industry ownership and multicast rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully negotiate retransmission consent and distribution agreements for our existing and any acquired businesses with favorable terms;

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:**

***Nature of Operations***

Sinclair, Inc. ("Sinclair") is a diversified media company with national reach and a strong focus on providing high-quality content on our local television stations and digital platforms. The content, distributed through our broadcast platform and third-party platforms, consists of programming provided by third-party networks and syndicators, local news, other original programming produced by us and our owned networks and professional sports. Additionally, we own digital media companies that are complementary to our extensive portfolio of television station related digital properties and we have interests in, own, manage, and/or operate technical and software services companies, research and development companies for the advancement of broadcast technology, and other media and non-media related businesses and assets, including real estate, venture capital, private equity, and direct investments.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we had two reportable segments: local media and tennis. The local media segment consists primarily of our 179 broadcast television stations in 81 markets, which we own, provide programming and operating services pursuant to agreements commonly referred to as local marketing agreements ("LMA"), or provide sales services and other non-programming operating services pursuant to other outsourcing agreements (such as joint sales agreements ("JSA") and shared services agreements ("SSA")). These stations broadcast 646 channels as of September 30, 2025. For the purpose of this report, these 179 stations and 646 channels are referred to as "our" stations and channels. The tennis segment consists of Tennis Channel, a cable network which includes coverage of many of tennis' top tournaments and original professional sports and tennis lifestyle shows; Tennis Channel International streaming service; Tennis Channel streaming service; TennisChannel 2, a 24-hour a day free ad-supported streaming television channel; and Tennis.com.

***Principles of Consolidation***

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent a minority owner's proportionate share of the equity in certain of our consolidated entities. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

We consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that would be significant to the VIE. See *Note 7. Variable Interest Entities* for more information on our VIEs.

Investments in entities over which we have significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Income from equity method investments represents our proportionate share of net income generated by equity method investees.

***Interim Financial Statements***

The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements have been presented on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, consolidated statements of equity and noncontrolling interests, and consolidated statements of cash flows for these periods as adjusted for the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements.

As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures normally included with audited consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC. The consolidated statements of operations presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

**SINCLAIR, INC.**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and in the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, requiring annual disclosure of consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table; additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate); income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction; and income or loss before income tax disaggregated between foreign and domestic. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

***Broadcast Television Programming***

We have agreements with programming syndicators for the rights to television programming over contract periods, which generally run from one to three years. Contract payments are made in installments over terms that are generally equal to or shorter than the contract period. Pursuant to accounting guidance for the broadcasting industry, an asset and a liability for the rights acquired and obligations incurred under a license agreement are reported on the balance sheet when the cost of each program is known or reasonably determinable, the program material has been accepted by the licensee in accordance with the conditions of the license agreement, and the program is available for its first showing or telecast. The portion of program contracts which becomes payable within one year is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The rights to this programming are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. Program costs are amortized on a straight-line basis except for contracts greater than three years which are amortized utilizing an accelerated method. Program costs estimated by management to be amortized in the succeeding year are classified as current assets. Payments of program contract liabilities are typically made on a scheduled basis and are not affected by amortization or fair value adjustments.

We assess our program costs on a quarterly basis to ensure the costs are recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value.

***Hedge Accounting***

We entered into an interest rate swap effective February 7, 2023 and terminating on February 28, 2026 in order to manage a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $600 million, bears a fixed interest rate of 3.9%, and we receive a floating rate of interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").

We have determined that the interest rate swap meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The initial value of the interest rate swap and any changes in value in subsequent periods are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, with a corresponding change recorded in assets or liabilities depending on the position of the swap. Gains or losses on the monthly settlement of the interest rate swap are reflected in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. See *Interest Rate Swap* within *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing* for further discussion.

***Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities***

Leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were $7 million and $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Leased assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities were $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Non-cash investing activities included property and equipment purchases of $4 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We received equity shares in investments valued at $21 million and $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in exchange for an obligation to deliver a similar value of advertising spots.

We completed the acquisition and sale of certain television stations as described in *Acquisitions and Station Disposals* below for non-cash consideration of $32 million and $36 million, respectively, during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

*Distribution Revenue.* We generate distribution revenue through fees received from these Distributors for the right to distribute our stations and other properties. Distribution arrangements are generally governed by multi-year contracts and the underlying fees are based upon a contractual monthly rate per subscriber. These arrangements represent licenses of intellectual property; revenue is recognized as the signal or network programming is provided to our customers (as usage occurs) which corresponds with the satisfaction of our performance obligation. Revenue is calculated based upon the contractual rate multiplied by an estimated number of subscribers. Our customers will remit payments based upon actual subscribers a short time after the conclusion of a month, which generally does not exceed 120 days. Historical adjustments to subscriber estimates have not been material.

*Core Advertising Revenue.* We generate core advertising revenue primarily from the sale of non-political advertising spots/impressions within our broadcast television and digital platforms.

*Political Advertising Revenue.* We generate political advertising revenue primarily from the sale of political advertising spots/impressions within our broadcast television and digital platforms.

In accordance with ASC 606, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) distribution arrangements which are accounted for as a sales/usage-based royalty.

*Deferred Revenue.* We record deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, including amounts which are refundable. We classify deferred revenue as either current in other current liabilities or long-term in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when we expect to satisfy our performance obligations. Deferred revenue was $169 million and $170 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of which $94 million and $112 million, respectively, was reflected in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $49 million and $40 million, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, two customers accounted for 11% and 10%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, two customers accounted for 11% and 11%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 10% of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 11% and 10%, respectively, of our total revenue. As of September 30, 2025, one customer accounted for 12% of our accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2024, four customers accounted for 11%, 11%, 10%, and 10%, respectively, of our accounts receivable, net. For purposes of this disclosure, a single customer may include multiple entities under common control.

***Acquisitions and Station Disposals***

In March 2025, Sinclair Ventures, LLC ("Ventures") completed the acquisition of CPX Interactive LLC ("Digital Remedy") for approximately $30 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $5 million, in which Ventures acquired the remaining 75% of the business they did not already own. The acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value as of the closing date of the transactions, which included $22 million of definite-lived intangible assets and $17 million of goodwill.

In July 2025, we sold our owned stations within Milwaukee, WI (WVTV), Springfield, IL (WICS/WICD), Ottumwa, IA (KTVO), and Quincy, IL (KHQA) for consideration valued at $36 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a net loss of $8 million related to the sale, which is included within gain on asset dispositions and other, net within our consolidated statements of operations and our local media segment within *Note 6. Segment Data*.

In September 2025, we acquired the non-license assets of WLNE in Providence, RI for consideration valued at $32 million. The acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value as of the closing date of the transaction. Based upon our preliminary purchase price allocation, we recorded $27 million of definite-lived intangible assets, $1 million of property and equipment, and $4 million of net working capital.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

***Income Taxes***

Our income tax provision for all periods consists of federal and state income taxes. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is based on the estimated effective tax rate applicable for the full year after taking into account discrete tax items and the effects of the noncontrolling interests. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if we determine that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating our ability to realize net deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including our past operating results, tax planning strategies, current and cumulative losses, and forecasts of future taxable income. In considering these sources of taxable income, we must make certain judgments that are based on the plans and estimates used to manage our underlying businesses on a long-term basis. A valuation allowance has been provided for deferred tax assets related to a substantial amount of our available state net operating loss carryforwards based on past operating results, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary basis differences, alternative tax strategies, and projected future taxable income.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big, Beautiful Bill ("OBBB") was enacted. The OBBB is a comprehensive tax reform package that includes several provisions which have, and will continue to, reduce our taxes paid in 2025. We do not expect the legislation to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was greater than the statutory rate primarily due to accrual of interest income attributable to prior years' pending income tax refund claims. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 approximated the statutory rate. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was greater than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was less than the statutory rate primarily due to an immaterial $7.5 million correcting adjustment related to the accrual of interest income attributable to prior years' pending income tax refund claims.

We do not believe that our liability for unrecognized tax benefits would be materially impacted, in the next twelve months, as a result of the expected statute of limitations expirations, the application of limits under available state administrative practice exceptions, and the resolution of examination issues and settlements with federal and certain state tax authorities.

***Reclassifications***

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation.

***Subsequent Events***

In November 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on December 15, 2025, to holders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2025.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OTHER ASSETS:**

***Equity Method Investments***

We have a portfolio of investments in a number of entities that are primarily focused on the development of real estate and other media and non-media businesses. No investments were individually significant for the periods presented.

***Other Investments***

We measure our investments, excluding equity method investments, at fair value or, in situations where fair value is not readily determinable, we have the option to value investments at cost plus observable changes in value, less impairment. Additionally, certain investments are measured at net asset value ("NAV").

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held $132 million and $228 million, respectively, in investments measured at fair value. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we held $144 million and $116 million, respectively, in investments measured at NAV. We recognized a fair value adjustment gain of $19 million and loss of $84 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and a fair value adjustment gain of $15 million and loss of $28 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, associated with these investments, which are reflected in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our unfunded commitments related to our investments valued using the NAV practical expedient totaled $45 million and $60 million, respectively.

Investments accounted for utilizing the measurement alternative were $54 million and $38 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There were no adjustments to the carrying amount of investments accounted for utilizing the measurement alternative for any of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the three months ended September 30, 2024. We recorded a $2 million impairment related to one investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which is reflected in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NOTES PAYABLE, FINANCE LEASES, AND COMMERCIAL BANK FINANCING:**

***Credit Agreement and Notes***

During the first quarter of 2025, Sinclair Television Group, Inc. ("STG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group, LLC ("SBG"), completed a series of financing transactions (the "Transactions") as follows:

Exchanged $711.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the $714 million Term Loan B-3, which mature April 1, 2028 and bear interest at SOFR plus 3.00%, into second-out first lien Term Loan B-6 issued under a new credit agreement dated February 12, 2025 (the "New Credit Agreement"), which mature December 31, 2029 and bear interest at SOFR plus 3.30%. Exchanged all of the $731.3 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Term Loan B-4, which matured on April 21, 2029 and bore interest at SOFR plus 3.75%, into second-out first lien Term Loan B-7 issued under the New Credit Agreement, which mature December 31, 2030 and bear interest at SOFR plus 4.10%.

Exchanged $575 million of commitments under the existing revolving credit facility into $575 million first-out first lien revolving commitments (the "First-Out Revolving Credit Facility") under the New Credit Agreement, which mature February 12, 2030 and borrowings thereunder will bear interest at SOFR plus 2.00%.

The existing bank credit agreement was amended as of February 12, 2025 (the "Amended Credit Agreement") concurrent with the Transactions and entering into the New Credit Agreement, subordinating the secured obligations thereunder and eliminating substantially all covenants and certain events of default. As a result, the remaining $3 million of Term Loan B-3 and the remaining $75 million of commitments under the existing revolving credit facility are ranked as third lien obligations.

STG issued $1,430 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% first-out first lien secured notes due 2033 (the "8.125% First-Out Notes"), which mature on February 15, 2033. The proceeds from the 8.125% First-Out Notes were used to repay in full the $1,175 million aggregate principal amounts outstanding of Term Loan B-2 due 2026, approximately $63.6 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 at 84% of the principal amount, and approximately $104 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 at 97% of the principal amount and to pay fees and expenses related to the Transactions.

**SINCLAIR, INC.**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

Exchanged $432 million aggregate principal amount of the existing 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 into 9.750% senior secured second lien notes due 2033 (the "9.750% Second Lien Notes"), which mature on February 15, 2033. Exchanged $238 million aggregate principal amount of the existing 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 into 4.375% second-out first lien secured notes due 2032 (the "4.375% Second-Out Notes"), which mature on December 31, 2032. The remaining 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 of $4 million became unsecured obligations as the related indenture was amended to release all liens on the collateral and eliminate substantially all covenants and certain events of default.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of the 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 and 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 of $5 million and $3 million, respectively, and a loss on extinguishment of the Term Loan B-2 of $6 million.

The New Credit Agreement and the indentures for the 8.125% First-Out Notes, 4.375% Second-Out Notes, and 9.750% Second Lien Notes (collectively, the "New Indentures") contain certain restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments (including repayment of certain subordinated debt), investments, mergers, consolidations, sales and other dispositions of assets and affiliate transactions. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and limitations as described in the New Credit Agreement and New Indentures. The New Credit Agreement and New Indentures also include events of default, including certain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions with other debt of STG, customary for agreements of its type.

Prior to February 15, 2028, December 1, 2025, and February 15, 2027, we may redeem the 8.125% First-Out Notes, 4.375% Second-Out Notes, and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the respective notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make-whole" premium as set forth in the New Indentures. On or prior to February 15, 2028 and February 15, 2027, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, at a price equal to 108.125% and 109.750% of the principal amount of the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption using the proceeds of certain equity offerings. Prior to February 15, 2028 and February 15, 2027, we may redeem the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 108.125% and 109.750% of the principal amount of the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date upon certain change of control transactions or certain significant acquisitions. Beginning on December 1, 2025, we may redeem some or all of the 4.375% Second-Out Notes at any time or from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the New Indentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, upon the sale of certain of STG's assets or certain changes of control, we may be required to offer to repurchase some or all of the 8.125% First-Out Notes, 4.375% Second-Out Notes, and 9.750% Second Lien Notes.

The First-Out Revolving Credit Facility includes a financial maintenance covenant, the first-out first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), which requires such ratio not to exceed 3.5x, measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, which is only applicable if 35% or more of the capacity (as a percentage of total commitments) under the First-Out Revolving Credit Facility, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, is utilized as of such date. Since there was no utilization under the First-Out Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025, STG was not subject to the financial maintenance covenant under the New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the STG first-out first lien leverage ratio was below 3.5x. The New Credit Agreement contains other restrictions and covenants with which STG was in compliance as of September 30, 2025.

During the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $81 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 for consideration of $77 million. We recognized a gain on extinguishment of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 of $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In October 2025, we repurchased the remaining $89 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 for consideration of $89 million. The 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 acquired were canceled immediately following their acquisition.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased $27 million aggregate principal amount of Term Loan B-2 for consideration of $25 million.

***Debt of Variable Interest Entities and Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations***

STG jointly, severally, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranteed $2 million of debt of certain third parties as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of which related to consolidated VIEs and is included in our consolidated balance sheets as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We provide a guarantee of certain obligations of the Marquee Sports Network ("Marquee") subject to a maximum aggregate amount of $455 million for the years 2025 through 2029. We accrued $15 million related to this obligation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, included in gain on asset dispositions and other, net in our consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025, $8 million of this obligation is reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. See *Note 4.

***Litigation, Claims, and Regulatory Matters***

We are a party to lawsuits, claims, and regulatory matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Actions currently pending are in various stages and no material judgments or decisions have been rendered by hearing boards or courts in connection with such actions. Except as noted below, we do not believe the outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial statements.

*FCC Matters*

On May 22, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") released an Order and Consent Decree pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $48 million to resolve the matters covered by a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") issued in December 2017 proposing a $13 million fine for alleged violations of the FCC's sponsorship identification rules by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, the FCC's investigation of the allegations raised in the Hearing Designation Order issued in connection with the Company's proposed acquisition of Tribune, and a retransmission related matter. The Company submitted the $48 million payment on August 19, 2020. As part of the consent decree, the Company also agreed to implement a four-year compliance plan (which terminated on May 29, 2024). Two petitions were filed on June 8, 2020 seeking reconsideration of the Order and Consent Decree. The Company filed an opposition to the petitions on June 18, 2020, and the petitions remain pending.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

On September 1, 2020, one of the individuals who filed a petition for reconsideration of the Order and Consent Decree filed a petition to deny the license renewal application of WBFF(TV), Baltimore, MD, and the license renewal applications of two other Baltimore, MD stations with which the Company has a JSA or LMA, Deerfield Media station WUTB(TV) and Cunningham Broadcasting Corporation ("Cunningham") station WNUV(TV). On January 18, 2024, a motion was filed to request substitution of the petitioner, who is deceased. On June 27, 2025, the FCC (i) denied the motion for substitution; (ii) dismissed the petition to deny; and (iii) granted the license renewal applications of WBFF(TV), WUTB(TV), and WNUV(TV). An application for review of the FCC's decision was filed on July 28, 2025 on behalf of the individual who unsuccessfully sought to be substituted for the petitioner in the proceeding. The Company timely filed an opposition to the application for review and the matter remains pending. On April 14, 2025, the same attorney who filed the petition against the renewal applications filed a similar petition to deny, on behalf of a different client, assignment applications filed by the Company seeking FCC consent to sell certain stations to a third party. On July 1, 2025, the FCC dismissed that petition to deny and granted the applications. An application for review of the decision to grant the assignment applications was filed on behalf of the petitioner on July 30, 2025. The Company timely filed an opposition to the application for review and the matter remains pending.

On September 2, 2020, the FCC adopted a Memorandum Opinion and Order and NAL against the licensees of several stations with whom the Company has LMAs, JSAs, and/or SSAs in response to a complaint regarding those stations' retransmission consent negotiations. The NAL proposed a $0.5 million penalty for each station, totaling $9 million. The licensees filed a response to the NAL on October 15, 2020, asking the FCC to dismiss the proceeding or, alternatively, to reduce the proposed forfeiture to $25,000 per station. On July 28, 2021, the FCC issued a forfeiture order in which the $0.5 million penalty was upheld for all but one station. A Petition for Reconsideration of the forfeiture order was filed on August 7, 2021. On March 14, 2022, the FCC released a Memorandum Opinion and Order and Order on Reconsideration, which reaffirmed the forfeiture order, dismissed (and in the alternative, denied) the Petition for Reconsideration, and stated that because the fines were not paid within the period stated in the July 2021 forfeiture order the FCC may refer the case to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") for enforcement of the forfeiture pursuant to Section 504 of the Communications Act. Our understanding is that enforcement remains pending. The Company is not a party to this forfeiture order.

On September 21, 2022, the FCC released an NAL against the licensees of a number of stations, including 83 Company stations and several stations with whom the Company has LMAs, JSAs, and/or SSAs, for violation of the FCC's limitations on commercial matter in children's television programming related to KidsClick network programming distributed by the Company in 2018. The NAL proposed a fine of $2.7 million against the Company, and fines ranging from $20,000 to $26,000 per station for the other licensees, including the LMA, JSA, and/or SSA stations, for a total of $3.4 million. On October 21, 2022, the Company filed a written response seeking reduction of the proposed fine amount. On September 6, 2024, the FCC issued a forfeiture order imposing the fine as proposed in the NAL. The Company and all other affected licensees filed a joint petition for reconsideration of the forfeiture order on October 7, 2024. On June 27, 2025, the FCC adopted an Order and Consent Decree pursuant to which the Company agreed to make a voluntary contribution of $500,000 to resolve, without any admission of liability, the forfeiture order (with respect to Company stations), a closed captioning investigation of Company station WUHF in Rochester, NY, and matters relating to certain of the Company's pending station renewal applications. As part of the consent decree, the Company also agreed to implement a two-year compliance plan relating to the FCC's limits on commercial matter in children's programming and closed captioning rules, and the FCC agreed to grant the license renewal applications of all Company stations involved in the matters resolved by the consent decree. The consent decree states the forfeiture order will be resolved by separate action with respect to the non-Company licensees named in the forfeiture order, and to the Company's knowledge all but one of such non-Company licensees have entered into non-monetary consent decrees with the FCC and agreed to similar compliance plans with respect to the FCC's limits on commercial matter in children's programming. The Company made the $500,000 voluntary contribution on July 9, 2025.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

*Other Matters*

On November 6, 2018, the Company agreed to enter into a proposed consent decree with the DOJ. This consent decree resolves the DOJ's investigation into the sharing of pacing information among certain stations in some local markets. The DOJ filed the consent decree and related documents in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on November 13, 2018. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia entered the consent decree on May 22, 2019. The consent decree is not an admission of any wrongdoing by the Company and does not subject the Company to any monetary damages or penalties. The Company believes that even if the pacing information was shared as alleged, it would not have impacted any pricing of advertisements or the competitive nature of the market. The consent decree requires the Company to adopt certain antitrust compliance measures, including the appointment of an Antitrust Compliance Officer, consistent with what the DOJ has required in previous consent decrees in other industries. The consent decree also requires the Company's stations not to exchange pacing and certain other information with other stations in their local markets, which the Company's management had already instructed them not to do.

The Company is aware of twenty-two putative class action lawsuits that were filed against the Company following published reports of the DOJ investigation into the exchange of pacing data within the industry. On October 3, 2018, these lawsuits were consolidated in the Northern District of Illinois. The consolidated action alleges that the Company and thirteen other broadcasters conspired to fix prices for commercials to be aired on broadcast television stations throughout the United States and engaged in unlawful information sharing, in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The consolidated action seeks damages, attorneys' fees, costs and interest, as well as injunctions against adopting practices or plans that would restrain competition in the ways the plaintiffs have alleged. The Court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss on November 6, 2020. Discovery commenced shortly after that and is continuing. On December 8, 2023, the Court granted final approval of the settlements the plaintiffs had reached with four of the original defendants (CBS, Fox, Cox Media, and ShareBuilders), who agreed to pay a total of $48 million to settle the plaintiffs' claims against them. The plaintiffs are continuing to pursue their claims against the Company and the other non-settling defendants. Under the current schedule set by the Court, fact discovery is scheduled to close 90 days after a Special Master completes his review of the plaintiffs' objections to the defendants' privilege claims. On December 6, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking sanctions against the Company in connection with the loss of certain cell phone data. On February 4, 2025, following briefing on that motion, the Court heard arguments and took the motion under advisement. On February 20, 2025, Special Master Richard Levie issued Report and Recommendation No. 3 addressing plaintiffs' challenges to certain of defendants' privilege log entries ("Levie R&R No. 3"), which recommended that the Court compel disclosure of certain documents Sinclair and the other non-settling defendants withheld from discovery based on assertions of privilege. Sinclair and the other co-defendants filed objections to Levie R&R No. 3. At a March 18, 2025 status conference, the Court set a tentative trial date of April 1, 2026, and stated its expectations that depositions will resume. At a Status Conference on October 1, 2025, the Court indicated that it would be setting a new schedule with a trial date occurring after April 1, 2026. Sinclair and the other parties are awaiting issuance of the new scheduling order. On October 20, 2025, the Court issued an order adopting Levie R&R No. 3 and denying the objections to Levie R&R No. 3 made by Sinclair and the other non-settling defendants, compelling the production of 6,313 documents Sinclair withheld as privileged. On September 29, 2025, Special Master Wayne R. Andersen issued Report and Recommendation No. 3 ("Andersen R&R No. 3") and on October 23, 2025, Special Master Andersen issued Report and Recommendation No. 6 ("Andersen R&R No. 6"), addressing certain of plaintiffs' additional challenges to certain of Sinclair's privilege log entries. Andersen R&R No. 3 and Andersen R&R No. 6 each recommended granting in part and denying in part plaintiffs' challenges. No party has appealed Andersen R&R No. 3, which compelled the production of two documents Sinclair withheld as privileged. The plaintiffs filed an objection to Anderson R&R No. 6 on November 6, 2025. Sinclair intends to file a response in opposition to that objection. Discovery and the Special Master's review of plaintiffs' challenges to the defendants' privilege claims remain ongoing. The Company continues to believe the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against all such claims.

On July 19, 2023, as part of the bankruptcy proceedings of Diamond Sports Group, LLC ("DSG"), at such time, an independently managed and unconsolidated subsidiary of Sinclair, DSG and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Diamond Sports Net, LLC, filed a complaint (the "Diamond Litigation"), under seal, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas naming certain subsidiaries of Sinclair, including SBG and STG and certain officers of SBG and STG, as defendants.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

In the complaint, plaintiffs challenged a series of transactions involving SBG and certain of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and DSG and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, since SBG acquired the former Fox Sports regional sports networks from The Walt Disney Company in August 2019. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the management services agreement (the "MSA") entered into by STG and DSG was not fair to DSG and was designed to benefit STG and SBG; that the Bally's Corporation ("Bally's") transaction in November 2020 through which Bally's acquired naming rights to certain regional sports networks was not fair to DSG and was designed to benefit STG and SBG; and that certain distributions made by DSG that were used to pay down preferred equity of DSH, were inappropriate and were conducted at a time when DSG was insolvent. The complaint also alleged that SBG and its subsidiaries (other than DSG and its subsidiaries) received payments or indirect benefits of approximately $1.5 billion as a result of the alleged misconduct. The complaint asserted a variety of claims, including certain fraudulent transfers of assets, unlawful distributions and payments, breaches of contracts, unjust enrichment and breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs sought, among other relief, avoidance of fraudulent transfers and unlawful distributions, and unspecified monetary damages to be determined.

On March 1, 2024, the court approved a global settlement and release of all claims associated with the Diamond Litigation, which settlement included an amendment to the MSA. Sinclair entered into the settlement, without admitting any fault or wrongdoing. The settlement terms included, among other things, DSG's dismissal with prejudice of its $1.5 billion litigation against Sinclair and all other defendants, along with the full and final satisfaction and release of all claims in that litigation against all defendants, including Sinclair and its subsidiaries, in exchange for Sinclair's cash payment to DSG of $495 million. Additionally, under the terms of the settlement, Sinclair would provide transition services to DSG to allow DSG to become a self-standing entity going forward. During the first quarter of 2024, we paid $50 million related to the settlement. The final settlement payment was made during the second quarter of 2024 and of the total $495 million settlement amount paid, $347 million was paid by STG and $148 million was paid by Ventures. On January 2, 2025, DSG announced that it had emerged from bankruptcy, at which time, Sinclair's equity interest in DSG was terminated.

We have provided a guarantee that requires us to provide funding to Marquee under certain circumstances. On July 19, 2024, Marquee sent us a funding notice seeking $29 million under the Marquee guarantee by August 1, 2024 purportedly to make payments under certain agreements to affiliates of the Chicago Cubs, an affiliate of which is also a co-owner of Marquee. Based on the information provided to us by Marquee, Marquee has sufficient cash to make such payments without funding under the Marquee guarantee. For this and other reasons, we do not believe we are contractually required to provide funding under the Marquee guarantee at this time and have so informed Marquee. On August 2, 2024, Marquee sent us another letter claiming that our failure to timely pay the amounts subject to Marquee's funding notice constitutes a breach of the Marquee guarantee and requesting payment of such amounts no later than August 17, 2024 at which time Marquee has stated it will pursue any and all available remedies pursuant to the Marquee guarantee. As of January 1, 2025, we determined we had no further obligations under the guarantee agreement. Marquee disputed this position, and on June 9, 2025, we entered into a binding term sheet to settle the matter. As part of the settlement, the parties agreed that the guarantee would be in effect through 2029; however, the maximum obligation under the guarantee agreement was reduced. As a result of the execution of this binding term sheet, we have concluded that our obligation to pay under a portion of the guarantee is probable and the loss related thereto could be reasonably estimated, thus recorded an estimated obligation related to this arrangement during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (as further discussed in *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing*). Because loss contingencies are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable developments can occur, the assessment requires judgment about future events. Moreover, there is no assurance that contingencies will be satisfied and the ultimate loss may differ materially from the estimated obligation we have recorded.

 **7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES:**

Certain of our stations provide services to other station owners within the same respective market through agreements, such as LMAs, where we provide programming, sales, operational, and administrative services, and JSAs and SSAs, where we provide non-programming, sales, operational, and administrative services. In certain cases, we have also entered into purchase agreements or options to purchase the license related assets of the licensee. We typically own the majority of the non-license assets of the stations, and in some cases where the licensee acquired the license assets concurrent with our acquisition of the non-license assets of the station, we have provided guarantees to the bank for the licensee's acquisition financing. The terms of the agreements vary but generally have initial terms of over five years with several optional renewal terms. Based on the terms of the agreements and the significance of our investment in the stations, we are the primary beneficiary when, subject to the ultimate control of the licensees, we have the power to direct the activities which significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE through the services we provide and we absorb losses and returns that would be considered significant to the VIEs. The fees paid between us and the licensees pursuant to these arrangements are eliminated in consolidation.

The carrying amounts and classification of the assets and liabilities of the VIEs mentioned above, which have been included in our consolidated balance sheets as of the dates presented, were as follows (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of September 30,<br>2025** | **As of December 31,<br>2024** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total liabilities | $14 | $21 |

---

The amounts above represent the combined assets and liabilities of the VIEs described above, for which we are the primary beneficiary. Total liabilities associated with certain outsourcing agreements and purchase options with certain VIEs, which are excluded from the above, were $152 million as of September 30, 2025 and $128 million as of December 31, 2024, as these amounts are eliminated in consolidation. The assets of each of these consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIE. As of September 30, 2025, all of the liabilities are non-recourse to us except for the debt of certain VIEs. See *Debt of Variable Interest Entities and Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations* under *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing* for further discussion. The risk and reward characteristics of the VIEs are similar.

***Other VIEs***

We have several investments in entities which are considered VIEs. However, we do not participate in the management of these entities, including the day-to-day operating decisions or other decisions which would allow us to control the entity, and therefore, we are not considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

The carrying amounts of our investments in these VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary were $73 million and $79 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. See *Note 2. Other Assets* for more information related to our equity investments. Our maximum exposure is equal to the carrying value of our investments. The income and loss related to equity method investments and other investments are recorded in (loss) income from equity method investments and other income (expense), net, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations. We recorded losses of $4 million and $6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and losses of $55 million and $77 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to these investments.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

The services provided to WNUV-TV, WMYA-TV, WTTE-TV, WRGT-TV and WVAH-TV are governed by a master agreement which has a current term that expires on July 1, 2028 and there is one additional five-year renewal term remaining with final expiration on July 1, 2033. We also executed purchase agreements to acquire the license related assets of these stations from Cunningham, which grant us the right to acquire, and grant Cunningham the right to require us to acquire, subject to applicable FCC rules and regulations, 100% of the capital stock or the assets of these individual subsidiaries of Cunningham. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement we are obligated to pay Cunningham an annual fee for the television stations equal to the greater of (i) 3% of each station's annual net broadcast revenue or (ii) $6 million. The aggregate purchase price of these television stations increases by 6% annually. A portion of the fee is required to be applied to the purchase price to the extent of the 6% increase. The cumulative prepayments made under these purchase agreements were $72 million and $69 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The remaining aggregate purchase price of these stations, net of prepayments, as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was approximately $54 million. Additionally, we provide services to WDBB-TV pursuant to an LMA, which expires April 22, 2030, and have a purchase option to acquire for $0.2 million. Under these agreements, we paid Cunningham $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The agreements with KBVU-TV/KCVU-TV, KRNV-DT/KENV-DT, WBSF-TV, WDBB-TV, WEMT-TV, WGTU-TV/WGTQ-TV, WPFO-TV, and WYDO-TV expire between December 2028 and August 2033 and certain stations have renewal provisions for successive eight-year periods.

As we consolidate the licensees as VIEs, the amounts we earn or pay under the arrangements are eliminated in consolidation and the gross revenue of the stations are reported in our consolidated statements of operations. Our consolidated revenue includes $33 million and $97 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $41 million and $109 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to the Cunningham Stations.

We have an agreement with Cunningham to provide master control equipment and provide master control services to a station in Johnstown, PA with which Cunningham has an LMA that expires in December 2025. Under the agreement, Cunningham paid us an initial fee of $1 million and pays us $0.3 million annually for master control services plus the cost to maintain and repair the equipment. In addition, we have an agreement with Cunningham to provide a news share service with the Johnstown, PA station for an annual fee of $0.6 million, which increases by 3% on each anniversary and expires in November 2025.

We have multi-cast agreements with Cunningham Stations in the Eureka/Chico-Redding, California; Tri-Cities, Tennessee; Anderson, South Carolina; Baltimore, Maryland; Portland, Maine; Charleston, West Virginia; Dallas, Texas; and Greenville, North Carolina markets. In exchange for carriage of these networks in their markets, we paid $0.3 million and $1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.2 million and $1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, under these agreements.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:**

Accounting guidance provides for valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). A fair value hierarchy using three broad levels prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.

N/A - Not applicable

(a)Consists of warrants to acquire marketable common equity securities. The fair value of the warrants are derived from the quoted trading prices of the underlying common equity securities less the exercise price.

(b)The fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability as of September 30, 2025 and an asset as of December 31, 2024. For further information, see *Hedge Accounting* within *Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* and *Interest Rate Swap* within *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing*.

(c)Amounts are carried in our consolidated balance sheets net of debt discount and deferred financing cost, which are excluded in the above table, of $56 million and $36 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(d)STG completed a series of financing transactions, including a new money financing and debt recapitalization, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In October 2025, STG repurchased the remaining $89 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027. For further information, see *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing*.

(e)Amounts primarily relate to warrants and options to acquire common equity in Bally's. We recorded a fair value adjustment loss of $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and gains of $18 million and $10 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the warrants is primarily derived from the quoted trading prices of the underlying common equity. The fair value of the options is derived utilizing the Black Scholes valuation model. The most significant inputs include the trading price of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of the options, which range from $30 to $45 per share. All outstanding awards to acquire common equity in Bally's were converted to warrants and transferred to Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**SINCLAIR BROADCAST GROUP, LLC**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:**

***Nature of Operations***

Sinclair Broadcast Group, LLC ("SBG"), a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sinclair, Inc. ("Sinclair"), is a diversified media company with national reach and a strong focus on providing high-quality content on SBG's local television stations and digital platforms. The content, distributed through SBG's broadcast platform and third-party platforms, consists of programming provided by third-party networks and syndicators, local news and other original programming produced by SBG and SBG owned networks.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, SBG had one reportable segment: local media. The local media segment consists primarily of SBG's 179 broadcast television stations in 81 markets, which SBG owns, provides programming and operating services pursuant to agreements commonly referred to as local marketing agreements ("LMA"), or provides sales services and other non-programming operating services pursuant to other outsourcing agreements (such as joint sales agreements ("JSA") and shared services agreements ("SSA")). These stations broadcast 646 channels as of September 30, 2025. For the purpose of this report, these 179 stations and 646 channels are referred to as "SBG" stations and channels.

***Principles of Consolidation***

The consolidated financial statements include SBG's accounts and those of SBG's wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and VIEs for which SBG is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests represent a minority owner's proportionate share of the equity in certain of SBG's consolidated entities. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

SBG consolidates VIEs when SBG is the primary beneficiary. SBG is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when SBG has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns that would be significant to the VIE. See *Note 6. Variable Interest Entities* for more information on SBG's VIEs.

Investments in entities over which SBG has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Income from equity method investments represents SBG's proportionate share of net income generated by equity method investees.

***Interim Financial Statements***

SBG's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements have been presented on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, consolidated statements of member's deficit and noncontrolling interests, and consolidated statements of cash flows for these periods as adjusted for the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements.

As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), SBG's consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures normally included with audited consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Sinclair's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC. SBG's consolidated statements of operations presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and in the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, requiring annual disclosure of consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table; additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate); income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction; and income or loss before income tax disaggregated between foreign and domestic. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. SBG is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect it to have a material impact on SBG's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. SBG is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

***Broadcast Television Programming***

SBG has agreements with programming syndicators for the rights to television programming over contract periods, which generally run from one to three years. Contract payments are made in installments over terms that are generally equal to or shorter than the contract period. Pursuant to accounting guidance for the broadcasting industry, an asset and a liability for the rights acquired and obligations incurred under a license agreement are reported on the balance sheet when the cost of each program is known or reasonably determinable, the program material has been accepted by the licensee in accordance with the conditions of the license agreement, and the program is available for its first showing or telecast. The portion of program contracts which becomes payable within one year is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The rights to this programming are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. Program costs are amortized on a straight-line basis except for contracts greater than three years which are amortized utilizing an accelerated method. Program costs estimated by management to be amortized in the succeeding year are classified as current assets. Payments of program contract liabilities are typically made on a scheduled basis and are not affected by amortization or fair value adjustments.

SBG assesses the program costs on a quarterly basis to ensure the costs are recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value.

***Hedge Accounting***

SBG entered into an interest rate swap effective February 7, 2023 and terminating on February 28, 2026 in order to manage a portion of SBG's exposure to variable interest rates. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $600 million, bears a fixed interest rate of 3.9%, and SBG receives a floating rate of interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").

SBG has determined that the interest rate swap meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The initial value of the interest rate swap and any changes in value in subsequent periods are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, with a corresponding change recorded in assets or liabilities depending on the position of the swap. Gains or losses on the monthly settlement of the interest rate swap are reflected in interest expense in SBG's consolidated statements of operations. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap are classified as operating activities in SBG's consolidated statements of cash flows. See *Interest Rate Swap* within *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing* for further discussion.

*Distribution Revenue.* SBG generates distribution revenue through fees received from multi-channel video programming distributors ("MVPD") and virtual MVPDs ("vMVPD," and together with MVPDs, "Distributors") for the right to distribute SBG's stations and other properties. Distribution arrangements are generally governed by multi-year contracts and the underlying fees are based upon a contractual monthly rate per subscriber. These arrangements represent licenses of intellectual property; revenue is recognized as the signal or network programming is provided to SBG's customers (as usage occurs) which corresponds with the satisfaction of SBG's performance obligation. Revenue is calculated based upon the contractual rate multiplied by an estimated number of subscribers. SBG's customers will remit payments based upon actual subscribers a short time after the conclusion of a month, which generally does not exceed 120 days. Historical adjustments to subscriber estimates have not been material.

*Core Advertising Revenue.* SBG generates core advertising revenue primarily from the sale of non-political advertising spots/impressions within broadcast television and digital platforms.

*Political Advertising Revenue.* SBG generates political advertising revenue primarily from the sale of political advertising spots/impressions within broadcast television and digital platforms.

In accordance with ASC 606, SBG does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) distribution arrangements which are accounted for as a sales/usage-based royalty.

Deferred revenue was $163 million as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, of which $94 million and $112 million, respectively, was reflected in other long-term liabilities in SBG's consolidated balance sheets.

In September 2025, SBG acquired the non-license assets of WLNE in Providence, RI for consideration of $32 million. The acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value as of the closing date of the transaction. Based upon the preliminary purchase price allocation, SBG recorded $27 million of definite-lived intangible assets, $1 million of property and equipment, and $4 million of net working capital.

***Income Taxes***

SBG's income tax provision for all periods consists of federal and state income taxes. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is based on the estimated effective tax rate applicable for the full year after taking into account discrete tax items and the effects of the noncontrolling interests. SBG provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating SBG's ability to realize net deferred tax assets, SBG considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including past operating results, tax planning strategies, current and cumulative losses, and forecasts of future taxable income. In considering these sources of taxable income, SBG must make certain judgments that are based on the plans and estimates used to manage SBG's underlying businesses on a long-term basis. A valuation allowance has been provided for deferred tax assets related to a substantial amount of SBG's available state net operating loss carryforwards based on past operating results, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary basis differences, alternative tax strategies, and projected future taxable income.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big, Beautiful Bill ("OBBB") was enacted. The OBBB is a comprehensive tax reform package that includes several provisions which have, and will continue to, reduce SBG's taxes paid in 2025. SBG does not expect the legislation to have a material impact on its financial statements.

SBG's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was less than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses. SBG's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was less than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses. SBG's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was greater than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses. SBG's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was less than the statutory rate primarily due to an immaterial $7.5 million correcting adjustment related to the accrual of interest income attributable to prior years' pending income tax refund claims.

SBG does not believe that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits would be materially impacted, in the next twelve months, as a result of the expected statute of limitations expirations, the application of limits under available state administrative practice exceptions, and the resolution of examination issues and settlements with federal and certain state tax authorities.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NOTES PAYABLE, FINANCE LEASES, AND COMMERCIAL BANK FINANCING:**

***Credit Agreement and Notes***

During the first quarter of 2025, Sinclair Television Group, Inc. ("STG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group, LLC ("SBG"), completed a series of financing transactions (the "Transactions") as follows:

Exchanged $711.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the $714 million Term Loan B-3, which mature April 1, 2028 and bear interest at SOFR plus 3.00%, into second-out first lien Term Loan B-6 issued under a new credit agreement dated February 12, 2025 (the "New Credit Agreement"), which mature December 31, 2029 and bear interest at SOFR plus 3.30%. Exchanged all of the $731.3 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Term Loan B-4, which matured on April 21, 2029, and bore interest at SOFR plus 3.75%, into second-out first lien Term Loan B-7 issued under the New Credit Agreement, which mature December 31, 2030 and bear interest at SOFR plus 4.10%.

Exchanged $575 million of commitments under the existing revolving credit facility into $575 million first-out first lien revolving commitments (the "First-Out Revolving Credit Facility") under the New Credit Agreement, which mature February 12, 2030 and borrowings thereunder will bear interest at SOFR plus 2.00%.

The existing bank credit agreement was amended as of February 12, 2025 (the "Amended Credit Agreement") concurrent with the Transactions and entering into the New Credit Agreement, subordinating the secured obligations thereunder and eliminating substantially all covenants and certain events of default. As a result, the remaining $3 million of Term Loan B-3 and the remaining $75 million of commitments under the existing revolving credit facility are ranked as third lien obligations.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

STG issued $1,430 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% first-out first lien secured notes due 2033 (the "8.125% First-Out Notes"), which mature on February 15, 2033. The proceeds from the 8.125% First-Out Notes were used to repay in full the $1,175 million aggregate principal amounts outstanding of Term Loan B-2 due 2026, approximately $63.6 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 at 84% of the principal amount, and approximately $104 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 at 97% of the principal amount and to pay fees and expenses related to the Transactions.

Exchanged $432 million aggregate principal amount of the existing 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 into 9.750% senior secured second lien notes due 2033 (the "9.750% Second Lien Notes"), which mature on February 15, 2033. Exchanged $238 million aggregate principal amount of the existing 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 into 4.375% second-out first lien secured notes due 2032 (the "4.375% Second-Out Notes"), which mature on December 31, 2032. The remaining 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 of $4 million became unsecured obligations as the related indenture was amended to release all liens on the collateral and eliminate substantially all covenants and certain events of default.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, SBG recognized a gain on extinguishment of the 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 and 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 of $5 million and $3 million, respectively, and a loss on extinguishment of the Term Loan B-2 of $6 million.

The New Credit Agreement and the indentures for the 8.125% First-Out Notes, 4.375% Second-Out Notes, and 9.750% Second Lien Notes (collectively, the "New Indentures") contain certain restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, restricted payments (including repayment of certain subordinated debt), investments, mergers, consolidations, sales and other dispositions of assets and affiliate transactions. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and limitations as described in the New Credit Agreement and New Indentures. The New Credit Agreement and New Indentures also include events of default, including certain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions with other debt of STG, customary for agreements of its type.

Prior to February 15, 2028, December 1, 2025, and February 15, 2027, STG may redeem the 8.125% First-Out Notes, 4.375% Second-Out Notes, and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the respective notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make-whole" premium as set forth in the New Indentures. On or prior to February 15, 2028 and February 15, 2027, STG may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, at a price equal to 108.125% and 109.750% of the principal amount of the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption using the proceeds of certain equity offerings. Prior to February 15, 2028 and February 15, 2027, STG may redeem the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 108.125% and 109.750% of the principal amount of the 8.125% First-Out Notes and 9.750% Second Lien Notes, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date upon certain change of control transactions or certain significant acquisitions. Beginning on December 1, 2025, STG may redeem some or all of the 4.375% Second-Out Notes at any time or from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the New Indentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, upon the sale of certain of STG's assets or certain changes of control, STG may be required to offer to repurchase some or all of the 8.125% First-Out Notes, 4.375% Second-Out Notes, and 9.750% Second Lien Notes.

The First-Out Revolving Credit Facility includes a financial maintenance covenant, the first-out first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), which requires such ratio not to exceed 3.5x, measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, which is only applicable if 35% or more of the capacity (as a percentage of total commitments) under the First-Out Revolving Credit Facility, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, is utilized as of such date. Since there was no utilization under the First-Out Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025, STG was not subject to the financial maintenance covenant under the New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the STG first-out first lien leverage ratio was below 3.5x. The New Credit Agreement contains other restrictions and covenants with which STG was in compliance as of September 30, 2025.

During the second quarter of 2025, STG repurchased $81 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 for consideration of $77 million. SBG recognized a gain on extinguishment of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 of $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In October 2025, STG repurchased the remaining $89 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 for consideration of $89 million. The 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 acquired were canceled immediately following their acquisition.

The portions of Term Loan B-2 purchased were canceled immediately following their acquisition. SBG recognized a gain on extinguishment of the Term Loan B-2 of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

***Finance Leases to Affiliates***

The current portion of notes payable, finance leases, and commercial bank financing in SBG's consolidated balance sheets includes finance leases to affiliates of $3 million as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Notes payable, finance leases, and commercial bank financing, less current portion, in SBG's consolidated balance sheets includes finances leases to affiliates of $7 million and $9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See *Note 7. Related Person Transactions*.

***Debt of Variable Interest Entities and Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations***

STG jointly, severally, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranteed $2 million of debt of certain third parties as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of which related to consolidated VIEs and is included in our consolidated balance sheets as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We provide a guarantee of certain obligations of the Marquee Sports Network ("Marquee") subject to a maximum aggregate amount of $455 million for the years 2025 through 2029. We accrued $15 million related to this obligation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, included in gain on asset dispositions and other, net in SBG's consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2025, $8 million of this obligation is reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in SBG's consolidated balance sheets. See *Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies* for further discussion.

***Interest Rate Swap***

SBG entered into an interest rate swap effective February 7, 2023 and terminating on February 28, 2026 in order to manage a portion of SBG's exposure to variable interest rates. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $600 million, bears a fixed interest rate of 3.9%, and SBG receives a floating rate of interest based on SOFR. See *Hedge Accounting* within *Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* for further discussion. The fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $0.1 million as of September 30, 2025, which is recorded in other current liabilities in SBG's consolidated balance sheets, and an asset of $1 million as of December 31, 2024, which is recorded in other assets in SBG's consolidated balance sheets.

***Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility***

On November 6, 2025, STG and one of its subsidiaries entered into a three-year, up to $375 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent ("Wells") in order to enable STG to raise incremental, low-cost capital.

***Litigation, Claims, and Regulatory Matters***

SBG is a party to lawsuits, claims, and regulatory matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Actions currently pending are in various stages and no material judgments or decisions have been rendered by hearing boards or courts in connection with such actions. Except as noted below, SBG does not believe the outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on SBG's financial statements.

*FCC Matters*

On May 22, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") released an Order and Consent Decree pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $48 million to resolve the matters covered by a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") issued in December 2017 proposing a $13 million fine for alleged violations of the FCC's sponsorship identification rules by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, the FCC's investigation of the allegations raised in the Hearing Designation Order issued in connection with the Company's proposed acquisition of Tribune, and a retransmission related matter. The Company submitted the $48 million payment on August 19, 2020. As part of the consent decree, the Company also agreed to implement a four-year compliance plan (which terminated on May 29, 2024). Two petitions were filed on June 8, 2020 seeking reconsideration of the Order and Consent Decree. The Company filed an opposition to the petitions on June 18, 2020, and the petitions remain pending.

On September 1, 2020, one of the individuals who filed a petition for reconsideration of the Order and Consent Decree filed a petition to deny the license renewal application of WBFF(TV), Baltimore, MD, and the license renewal applications of two other Baltimore, MD stations with which the Company has a JSA or LMA, Deerfield Media station WUTB(TV) and Cunningham Broadcasting Corporation ("Cunningham") station WNUV(TV). On January 18, 2024, a motion was filed to request substitution of the petitioner, who is deceased. On June 27, 2025, the FCC (i) denied the motion for substitution; (ii) dismissed the petition to deny; and (iii) granted the license renewal applications of WBFF(TV), WUTB(TV), and WNUV(TV). An application for review of the FCC's decision was filed on July 28, 2025 on behalf of the individual who unsuccessfully sought to be substituted for the petitioner in the proceeding. The Company timely filed an opposition to the application for review and the matter remains pending. On April 14, 2025, the same attorney who filed the petition against the renewal applications filed a similar petition to deny, on behalf of a different client, assignment applications filed by the Company seeking FCC consent to sell certain stations to a third party. On July 1, 2025, the FCC dismissed that petition to deny and granted the applications. An application for review of the decision to grant the assignment applications was filed on behalf of the petitioner on July 30, 2025. The Company timely filed an opposition to the application for review and the matter remains pending.

On September 2, 2020, the FCC adopted a Memorandum Opinion and Order and NAL against the licensees of several stations with whom the Company has LMAs, JSAs, and/or SSAs in response to a complaint regarding those stations' retransmission consent negotiations. The NAL proposed a $0.5 million penalty for each station, totaling $9 million. The licensees filed a response to the NAL on October 15, 2020, asking the FCC to dismiss the proceeding or, alternatively, to reduce the proposed forfeiture to $25,000 per station. On July 28, 2021, the FCC issued a forfeiture order in which the $0.5 million penalty was upheld for all but one station. A Petition for Reconsideration of the forfeiture order was filed on August 7, 2021. On March 14, 2022, the FCC released a Memorandum Opinion and Order and Order on Reconsideration, which reaffirmed the forfeiture order, dismissed (and in the alternative, denied) the Petition for Reconsideration, and stated that because the fines were not paid within the period stated in the July 2021 forfeiture order the FCC may refer the case to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") for enforcement of the forfeiture pursuant to Section 504 of the Communications Act. Our understanding is that enforcement remains pending. The Company is not a party to this forfeiture order.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

On September 21, 2022, the FCC released an NAL against the licensees of a number of stations, including 83 SBG stations and several stations with whom SBG has LMAs, JSAs, and/or SSAs, for violation of the FCC's limitations on commercial matter in children's television programming related to KidsClick network programming distributed by the Company in 2018. The NAL proposed a fine of $2.7 million against SBG, and fines ranging from $20,000 to $26,000 per station for the other licensees, including the LMA, JSA, and/or SSA stations, for a total of $3.4 million. On October 21, 2022, the Company filed a written response seeking reduction of the proposed fine amount. On September 6, 2024, the FCC issued a forfeiture order imposing the fine as proposed in the NAL. The Company and all other affected licensees filed a joint petition for reconsideration of the forfeiture order on October 7, 2024. On June 27, 2025, the FCC adopted an Order and Consent Decree pursuant to which the Company agreed to make a voluntary contribution of $500,000 to resolve, without any admission of liability, the forfeiture order (with respect to SBG stations), a closed captioning investigation of SBG station WUHF in Rochester, NY, and matters relating to certain of SBG's pending station renewal applications. As part of the consent decree, the Company also agreed to implement a two-year compliance plan relating to the FCC's limits on commercial matter in children's programming and closed captioning rules, and the FCC agreed to grant the license renewal applications of all SBG stations involved in the matters resolved by the consent decree. The consent decree states the forfeiture order will be resolved by separate action with respect to the non-SBG licensees named in the forfeiture order, and to SBG's knowledge all but one of such non-SBG licensees have entered into non-monetary consent decrees with the FCC and agreed to similar compliance plans with respect to the FCC's limits on commercial matter in children's programming. The Company made the $500,000 voluntary contribution on July 9, 2025.

*Other Matters*

On November 6, 2018, the Company agreed to enter into a proposed consent decree with the DOJ. This consent decree resolves the DOJ's investigation into the sharing of pacing information among certain stations in some local markets. The DOJ filed the consent decree and related documents in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on November 13, 2018. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia entered the consent decree on May 22, 2019. The consent decree is not an admission of any wrongdoing by the Company and does not subject the Company to any monetary damages or penalties. The Company believes that even if the pacing information was shared as alleged, it would not have impacted any pricing of advertisements or the competitive nature of the market. The consent decree requires the Company to adopt certain antitrust compliance measures, including the appointment of an Antitrust Compliance Officer, consistent with what the DOJ has required in previous consent decrees in other industries. The consent decree also requires the Company's stations not to exchange pacing and certain other information with other stations in their local markets, which the Company's management had already instructed them not to do.

**SINCLAIR BROADCAST GROUP, LLC**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

The Company is aware of twenty-two putative class action lawsuits that were filed against the Company following published reports of the DOJ investigation into the exchange of pacing data within the industry. On October 3, 2018, these lawsuits were consolidated in the Northern District of Illinois. The consolidated action alleges that the Company and thirteen other broadcasters conspired to fix prices for commercials to be aired on broadcast television stations throughout the United States and engaged in unlawful information sharing, in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The consolidated action seeks damages, attorneys' fees, costs and interest, as well as injunctions against adopting practices or plans that would restrain competition in the ways the plaintiffs have alleged. The Court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss on November 6, 2020. Discovery commenced shortly after that and is continuing. On December 8, 2023, the Court granted final approval of the settlements the plaintiffs had reached with four of the original defendants (CBS, Fox, Cox Media, and ShareBuilders), who agreed to pay a total of $48 million to settle the plaintiffs' claims against them. The plaintiffs are continuing to pursue their claims against the Company and the other non-settling defendants. Under the current schedule set by the Court, fact discovery is scheduled to close 90 days after a Special Master completes his review of the plaintiffs' objections to the defendants' privilege claims. On December 6, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking sanctions against the Company in connection with the loss of certain cell phone data. On February 4, 2025, following briefing on that motion, the Court heard arguments and took the motion under advisement. On February 20, 2025, Special Master Richard Levie issued Report and Recommendation No. 3 addressing plaintiffs' challenges to certain of defendants' privilege log entries ("Levie R&R No. 3"), which compelled disclosure of certain documents Sinclair and the other non-settling defendants withheld from discovery based on assertions of privilege. Sinclair and the other co-defendants filed objections to Levie R&R No. 3. At a March 18, 2025 status conference, the Court set a tentative trial date of April 1, 2026, and stated its expectations that depositions will resume. At a Status Conference on October 1, 2025, the Court indicated that it would be setting a new schedule with a trial date occurring after April 1, 2026. Sinclair and the other parties are awaiting issuance of the new scheduling order. On October 20, 2025, the Court issued an order adopting Levie R&R No. 3 and denying the objections to Levie R&R No. 3 made by Sinclair and the other non-settling defendants, compelling the production of 6,313 documents Sinclair withheld as privileged. On September 29, 2025, Special Master Wayne R. Andersen issued Report and Recommendation No. 3 ("Andersen R&R No. 3") and on October 23, 2025, Special Master Andersen issued Report and Recommendation No. 6 ("Andersen R&R No. 6"), addressing certain of plaintiffs' additional challenges to certain of Sinclair's privilege log entries. Andersen R&R No. 3 and Andersen R&R No. 6 each recommended granting in part and denying in part plaintiffs' challenges. No party has appealed Andersen R&R No. 3, which compelled the production of two documents Sinclair withheld as privileged. The plaintiffs filed an objection to Anderson R&R No. 6 on November 6, 2025. Sinclair intends to file a response in opposition to that objection. Discovery and the Special Master's review of plaintiffs' challenges to the defendants' privilege claims remain ongoing. The Company continues to believe the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against all such claims.

On July 19, 2023, as part of the bankruptcy proceedings of DSG, at such time, an independently managed and unconsolidated subsidiary of Sinclair, DSG and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Diamond Sports Net, LLC, filed a complaint (the "Diamond Litigation"), under seal, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas naming certain subsidiaries of Sinclair, including SBG and STG and certain officers of SBG and STG, as defendants.

In the complaint, plaintiffs challenged a series of transactions involving SBG and certain of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and DSG and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, since SBG acquired the former Fox Sports regional sports networks from The Walt Disney Company in August 2019. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the management services agreement (the "MSA") entered into by STG and DSG was not fair to DSG and was designed to benefit STG and SBG; that the Bally's Corporation ("Bally's") transaction in November 2020 through which Bally's acquired naming rights to certain regional sports networks was not fair to DSG and was designed to benefit STG and SBG; and that certain distributions made by DSG that were used to pay down preferred equity of DSH, were inappropriate and were conducted at a time when DSG was insolvent. The complaint also alleged that SBG and its subsidiaries (other than DSG and its subsidiaries) received payments or indirect benefits of approximately $1.5 billion as a result of the alleged misconduct. The complaint asserted a variety of claims, including certain fraudulent transfers of assets, unlawful distributions and payments, breaches of contracts, unjust enrichment and breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs sought, among other relief, avoidance of fraudulent transfers and unlawful distributions, and unspecified monetary damages to be determined.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

On March 1, 2024, the court approved a global settlement and release of all claims associated with the Diamond Litigation, which settlement included an amendment to the MSA. Sinclair entered into the settlement, without admitting any fault or wrongdoing. The settlement terms included, among other things, DSG's dismissal with prejudice of its $1.5 billion litigation against Sinclair and all other defendants, along with the full and final satisfaction and release of all claims in that litigation against all defendants, including Sinclair and its subsidiaries, in exchange for Sinclair's cash payment to DSG of $495 million. Additionally, under the terms of the settlement, Sinclair would provide transition services to DSG to allow DSG to become a self-standing entity going forward. During the first quarter of 2024, SBG paid $50 million related to the settlement. The final settlement payment was made during the second quarter of 2024 and of the total $495 million settlement amount paid, $347 million was paid by STG and $148 million was paid by Sinclair Ventures, LLC ("Ventures"). On January 2, 2025, DSG announced that it had emerged from bankruptcy, at which time, SBG's equity interest in DSG was terminated.

SBG has provided a guarantee that requires SBG to provide funding to Marquee. On July 19, 2024, Marquee sent SBG a funding notice seeking $29 million under the Marquee guarantee by August 1, 2024 purportedly to make payments under certain agreements to affiliates of the Chicago Cubs, an affiliate of which is also a co-owner of Marquee. Based on the information provided to SBG by Marquee, Marquee has sufficient cash to make such payments without funding under the Marquee guarantee. For this and other reasons, SBG does not believe it is contractually required to provide funding under the Marquee guarantee at this time and has so informed Marquee. On August 2, 2024, Marquee sent SBG another letter claiming that SBG's failure to timely pay the amounts subject to Marquee's funding notice constitutes a breach of the Marquee guarantee and requesting payment of such amounts no later than August 17, 2024 at which time Marquee has stated it will pursue any and all available remedies pursuant to the Marquee guarantee. As of January 1, 2025, SBG determined SBG had no further obligations under the guarantee agreement. Marquee disputed this position, and on June 9, 2025, SBG entered into a binding term sheet to settle the matter. As part of the settlement, the parties agreed that the guarantee would be in effect through 2029; however, the maximum obligation under the guarantee agreement was reduced. As a result of the execution of this binding term sheet, SBG has concluded that SBG's obligation to pay under a portion of the guarantee is probable and the loss related thereto could be reasonably estimated, thus recorded an estimated obligation related to this arrangement during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (as further discussed in *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing*). Because loss contingencies are inherently unpredictable and unfavorable developments can occur, the assessment requires judgment about future events. Moreover, there is no assurance that contingencies will be satisfied and the ultimate loss may differ materially from the estimated obligation SBG has recorded.

The local media segment includes SBG's television stations, original networks, and content and provides these through free over-the-air programming to television viewing audiences for stations in markets located throughout the continental United States, as well as distributes the content of these stations to MVPDs for distribution to their customers in exchange for contractual fees. See *Revenue Recognition* under *Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* for further detail. Corporate is not a reportable segment but is included for reconciliation purposes. Corporate costs primarily include SBG's costs to operate as the parent company of its subsidiaries.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES:**

Certain of SBG's stations provide services to other station owners within the same respective market through agreements, such as LMAs, where SBG provides programming, sales, operational, and administrative services, and JSAs and SSAs, where SBG provides non-programming, sales, operational, and administrative services. In certain cases, SBG has also entered into purchase agreements or options to purchase the license related assets of the licensee. SBG typically owns the majority of the non-license assets of the stations, and in some cases where the licensee acquired the license assets concurrent with SBG's acquisition of the non-license assets of the station, SBG has provided guarantees to the bank for the licensee's acquisition financing. The terms of the agreements vary but generally have initial terms of over five years with several optional renewal terms. Based on the terms of the agreements and the significance of SBG's investment in the stations, SBG is the primary beneficiary when, subject to the ultimate control of the licensees, SBG has the power to direct the activities which significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE through the services SBG provides and SBG absorbs losses and returns that would be considered significant to the VIEs. The fees paid between SBG and the licensees pursuant to these arrangements are eliminated in consolidation.

The amounts above represent the combined assets and liabilities of the VIEs described above, for which SBG is the primary beneficiary. Total liabilities associated with certain outsourcing agreements and purchase options with certain VIEs, which are excluded from the above, were $152 million as of September 30, 2025 and $128 million as of December 31, 2024, as these amounts are eliminated in consolidation. The assets of each of these consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIE. As of September 30, 2025, all of the liabilities are non-recourse to SBG except for the debt of certain VIEs. See *Debt of Variable Interest Entities and Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations* under *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing* for further discussion.

***Cunningham Broadcasting Corporation***

Cunningham owns a portfolio of television stations, including: WNUV-TV Baltimore, Maryland; WRGT-TV Dayton, Ohio; WVAH-TV Charleston, West Virginia; WMYA-TV Anderson, South Carolina; WTTE-TV Columbus, Ohio; WDBB-TV Birmingham, Alabama; WBSF-TV Flint, Michigan; WGTU-TV/WGTQ-TV Traverse City/Cadillac, Michigan; WEMT-TV Tri-Cities, Tennessee; WYDO-TV Greenville, North Carolina; KBVU-TV/KCVU-TV Eureka/Chico-Redding, California; WPFO-TV Portland, Maine; KRNV-DT/KENV-DT Reno, Nevada/Salt Lake City, Utah; and KTXD-TV in Dallas, Texas (collectively, the "Cunningham Stations"). Certain of SBG's stations provide services to the Cunningham Stations pursuant to LMAs or JSAs and SSAs. See *Note 6. Variable Interest Entities*, for further discussion of the scope of services provided under these types of arrangements.

All of the non-voting stock of the Cunningham Stations is owned by trusts for the benefit of the children of the Sinclair controlling shareholders. SBG consolidates certain subsidiaries of Cunningham with which SBG has variable interests through various arrangements related to the Cunningham Stations.

The services provided to WNUV-TV, WMYA-TV, WTTE-TV, WRGT-TV and WVAH-TV are governed by a master agreement which has a current term that expires on July 1, 2028 and there is one additional five-year renewal term remaining with final expiration on July 1, 2033. SBG also executed purchase agreements to acquire the license related assets of these stations from Cunningham, which grant SBG the right to acquire, and grant Cunningham the right to require SBG to acquire, subject to applicable FCC rules and regulations, 100% of the capital stock or the assets of these individual subsidiaries of Cunningham. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement SBG is obligated to pay Cunningham an annual fee for the television stations equal to the greater of (i) 3% of each station's annual net broadcast revenue or (ii) $6 million. The aggregate purchase price of these television stations increases by 6% annually. A portion of the fee is required to be applied to the purchase price to the extent of the 6% increase. The cumulative prepayments made under these purchase agreements were $72 million and $69 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The remaining aggregate purchase price of these stations, net of prepayments, as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was approximately $54 million. Additionally, SBG provides services to WDBB-TV pursuant to an LMA, which expires April 22, 2030, and has a purchase option to acquire for $0.2 million. SBG paid Cunningham, under these agreements, $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The agreements with KBVU-TV/KCVU-TV, KRNV-DT/KENV-DT, WBSF-TV, WDBB-TV, WEMT-TV, WGTU-TV/WGTQ-TV, WPFO-TV, and WYDO-TV expire between December 2028 and August 2033 and certain stations have renewal provisions for successive eight-year periods.

As SBG consolidates the licensees as VIEs, the amounts SBG earns or pays under the arrangements are eliminated in consolidation and the gross revenue of the stations are reported in SBG's consolidated statements of operations. SBG's consolidated revenue includes $33 million and $97 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $41 million and $109 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to the Cunningham Stations.

SBG has an agreement with Cunningham to provide master control equipment and provide master control services to a station in Johnstown, PA with which Cunningham has an LMA that expires in December 2025. Under the agreement, Cunningham paid SBG an initial fee of $1 million and pays SBG $0.3 million annually for master control services plus the cost to maintain and repair the equipment. In addition, SBG has an agreement with Cunningham to provide a news share service with the Johnstown, PA station for an annual fee of $0.6 million, which increases by 3% on each anniversary and expires in November 2025.

SBG has multi-cast agreements with Cunningham Stations in the Eureka/Chico-Redding, California; Tri-Cities, Tennessee; Anderson, South Carolina; Baltimore, Maryland; Portland, Maine; Charleston, West Virginia; Dallas, Texas; and Greenville, North Carolina markets. In exchange for carriage of these networks in their markets, SBG paid $0.3 million and $1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.2 million and $1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, under these agreements.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:**

Accounting guidance provides for valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). A fair value hierarchy using three broad levels prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.

The following table sets forth the face value and fair value of SBG's financial assets and liabilities for the periods presented (in millions):

**SINCLAIR, INC. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

Any references to the first, second, or fourth quarters are to the three months ended March 31, June 30, or December 31, respectively, for the year being discussed. As of September 30, 2025, we had two reportable segments for accounting purposes, local media and tennis.

***Seasonality / Cyclicality***

The operating results of our local media segment are usually subject to cyclical fluctuations from political advertising. In even numbered years, political spending is usually significantly higher than in odd numbered years due to advertising expenditures preceding local and national elections. Additionally, every four years, political spending is usually elevated further due to advertising expenditures preceding the presidential election. Also, the second and fourth quarter operating results are usually higher than the first and third quarters' because advertising expenditures are increased in anticipation of certain seasonal and holiday spending by consumers.

The operating results of our tennis segment are usually subject to cyclical fluctuations due to the number and significance of tournaments that take place in the respective quarters during the year. The first and fourth quarter operating results are usually higher than the second and third quarters' because of the number and significance of tournaments that are played during those periods.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to a small book loss in 2025 compared to book income in 2024.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was a benefit of 22.1% as compared to a provision of 17.4% during the same period in 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to an immaterial $7.5 million correcting adjustment related to the accrual of interest income attributable to prior years' pending income tax refund claims in 2024.

Any references to the first, second, or fourth quarters are to the three months ended March 31, June 30, or December 31, respectively, for the year being discussed. As of September 30, 2025, SBG had one reportable segment for accounting purposes, local media.

***Seasonality / Cyclicality***

The operating results of SBG's local media segment are usually subject to cyclical fluctuations from political advertising. In even numbered years, political spending is usually significantly higher than in odd numbered years due to advertising expenditures preceding local and national elections. Additionally, every four years, political spending is usually elevated further due to advertising expenditures preceding the presidential election. Also, the second and fourth quarter operating results are usually higher than the first and third quarters' because advertising expenditures are increased in anticipation of certain seasonal and holiday spending by consumers.

***Operating Data***

The following table sets forth SBG's consolidated operating data for the periods presented (in millions):

*Corporate general and administrative expenses.* The table above and the explanation that follows cover total consolidated corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased by $3 million and $15 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in legal, consulting, and regulatory costs, primarily related to the litigation discussed under *Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies* within *SBG's Consolidated Financial Statements.* 

*Gain on asset dispositions and other, net.* During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, SBG recognized a loss of $8 million related to station sales and a loss of $15 million related to the Marquee guarantee as discussed in Debt of Variable Interest Entities and Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations under *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing* within *SBG's Consolidated Financial Statements.* These losses were offset by gains of $35 million related to proceeds from SBG's cyber and directors and officers insurance policies, which are further discussed in *Local Media Segment* under *Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations* under *Sinclair, Inc.'s Results of Operations.*

*Income tax benefit (provision).* The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was a benefit of 18.2% as compared to a provision of 22.8% during the same period in 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to a book loss in 2025 compared to book income in 2024.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was a benefit of 19.3% as compared to a provision of 13.6% during the same period in 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to an immaterial $7.5 million correcting adjustment related to the accrual of interest income attributable to prior years' pending income tax refund claims in 2024.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

***Liquidity and Capital Resources***

As of September 30, 2025, Sinclair had net working capital of approximately $673 million, including $526 million in cash and cash equivalent balances, and $650 million of available borrowing capacity, including $575 million under the New Credit Agreement and $75 million under the Amended Credit Agreement. Cash on hand, cash generated by Sinclair's operations, and borrowing capacity under the New Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement are used as Sinclair's primary sources of liquidity.

As of September 30, 2025, SBG had net working capital of approximately $208 million, including $122 million in cash and cash equivalent balances, and $650 million of available borrowing capacity, including $575 million under the New Credit Agreement and $75 million under the Amended Credit Agreement. Cash on hand, cash generated by SBG's operations, and borrowing capacity under the New Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement are used as SBG's primary sources of liquidity.

The First-Out Revolving Credit Facility includes a financial maintenance covenant, the first-out first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), which requires such ratio not to exceed 3.5x, measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, which is only applicable if 35% or more of the capacity (as a percentage of total commitments) under the First-Out Revolving Credit Facility, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, is utilized as of such date. Since there was no utilization under the First-Out Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025, STG was not subject to the financial maintenance covenant under the New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the STG first-out first lien leverage ratio was below 3.5x. The New Credit Agreement contains other restrictions and covenants with which STG was in compliance as of September 30, 2025.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, STG completed the Transactions, including a new money financing and debt recapitalization, which strengthened the Company's balance sheet and better positioned it for long-term growth. STG's nearest term maturity, Term Loan B-2 due 2026, was repaid with proceeds from the issuance of a new first-out first lien secured bond, along with the extension of maturities of other debt tranches, which significantly extended STG's maturity profile. See *Credit Agreement and Notes* under *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing* within *Sinclair's Consolidated Financial Statements* and *Credit Agreement and Notes* under *Note 3. Notes Payable, Finance Leases, and Commercial Bank Financing* within *SBG's Consolidated Financial Statements*, for further information.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, STG repurchased $81 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 for consideration of $77 million. The 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 acquired in April 2025 were canceled immediately following their acquisition. In October 2025, STG repurchased the remaining $89 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 for consideration of $89 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Sinclair entered into agreements which increased estimated contractual amounts owed for tennis programming rights by $165 million which have terms that extend into 2032. There were no other material changes to Sinclair's or SBG's contractual cash obligations as of September 30, 2025.

Sinclair and SBG anticipate that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from the local media segment's operations, and borrowing capacity under the New Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy the local media segment's debt service obligations, capital expenditure requirements, and working capital needs for the next twelve months. Sinclair anticipates that existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from SBG, the tennis segment, and other's operations will be sufficient to satisfy SBG, the tennis segment, and other's debt service obligations, capital expenditure requirements, and working capital needs for the next twelve months. However, certain factors, including but not limited to the war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East, other geopolitical matters, natural disasters, pandemics, and potential tariffs and trade restrictions and their resulting effect on the economy, Sinclair's and SBG's advertisers, and Sinclair's and SBG's Distributors and their subscribers, could affect Sinclair's and SBG's liquidity and first-out first lien leverage ratio which could affect Sinclair's and SBG's ability to access the full borrowing capacity under the New Credit Agreement. In addition to the sources described above, Sinclair and SBG may rely upon various sources for long-term liquidity needs, such as but not limited to, the issuance of long-term debt, the issuance of Sinclair equity, for Sinclair only, the issuance of Ventures equity or debt, or other instruments convertible into or exchangeable for Sinclair equity, or the sale of assets. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital or buyers of assets will be available, or that the terms of any transactions will be acceptable or advantageous to Sinclair or SBG.

Sinclair declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share in August 2025 and $0.25 per share in November 2025. Future dividends on Sinclair's shares of common stock, if any, will be at the discretion of Sinclair's Board of Directors and will depend on several factors including Sinclair's results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, covenant restrictions, and other factors that Sinclair's Board of Directors may deem relevant.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**

There were no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in *Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates* under *Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations* within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

There have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative discussion about market risk previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Each of Sinclair's and SBG's management, under the supervision and with the participation of its respective Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025.

The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

***Assessment of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Based on the evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, each of Sinclair's and SBG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, Sinclair's and SBG's disclosure controls and procedures, respectively, were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There have been no changes in either Sinclair's or SBG's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i99d402512857446fad4541c6968df72c_16)</u>

***Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls***

Management, including each of Sinclair's and SBG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that Sinclair's and SBG's disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within each company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management's override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

**ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION**

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, none of Sinclair's or SBG's directors, managers, or officers, as applicable, adopted or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of Sinclair's securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement."

On November 6, 2025, STG and one of its subsidiaries entered into a three-year, up to $375 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent ("Wells") in order to enable STG to raise incremental, low-cost capital.

In connection with the AR Facility, STG will, pursuant to a Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2025 (the "Sale Agreement"), between STG, as originator and initial master servicer, and Sinclair Finance SPV, LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of STG (the "SPV"), sell and/or contribute its existing and future accounts receivable and certain related rights to the SPV.

Pursuant to a Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2025 (the "Financing Agreement"), by and among the SPV, STG, in its individual capacity and as initial master servicer, Wells and certain lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders will provide certain loans up to a principal amount of $375 million, which loans will be secured by certain accounts receivable and related rights ("Pool Receivables") purchased by the SPV pursuant to the Sale Agreement. STG will service the Pool Receivables on behalf of the SPV for a fee. In addition, pursuant to a Performance Undertaking, dated as of November 6, 2025 (the "Performance Undertaking"), between SBG and Wells, SBG has agreed to guaranty the performance by STG, as originator and initial master servicer, of its obligations under the Sale Agreement and the Financing Agreement, respectively. Neither SBG nor STG guarantees the collectability of the Pool Receivables.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i99d402512857446fad4541c6968df72c_16)</u>

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 STG. Accordingly, the SPV's assets are not available to pay creditors of STG or any of its other subsidiaries, although collections from the Pool Receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the Lenders and other creditors of the SPV may be remitted to STG.

The maximum funding availability under the AR Facility as of November 6, 2025, the date of closing, is $375 million, subject to borrowing base and certain other restrictions. The amount of actual availability under the AR Facility is subject to change based on the level of eligible Pool Receivables sold by STG to the SPV and certain reserves. Availability is further subject to changes in the credit ratings of Sinclair, Inc. or SBG, customer concentration levels based on the credit ratings of STG's customers, and certain characteristics of the Pool Receivables.

Consultant shall at all times act as an independent contractor and shall not be considered an employee or agent of Company, nor represent itself as having any authority to approve or accept any proposal on behalf of Company, nor make any promise, representation, contract or other commitment binding upon Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c) Compensation and Other** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Services Fee</u>. (a) Company agrees to pay Consultant a services fee in the amount of $593.75 per hour for each hour that services are performed during the term of this Agreement (the "Services Fee), beginning on the Effective Date and continuing through the Termination of this Agreement, unless mutually extended by Company and Consultant in writing, and (b) Company shall pay Consultant for a minimum of eight (8) hours per week during such Term, which shall be pro-rated for any partial weeks. On a monthly basis, Consultant shall submit to Company an itemized invoice of the hours worked, including all hours above the minimum 8 hours. Consultant shall be compensated solely at the hourly rate specified as the Services Fee, and in no event shall Consultant be entitled to any compensation in excess of such rate, including but not limited to overtime pay, holiday pay, or vacation pay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Health Insurance Fees: Should Consultant elect to continue their health, vision and dental insurance coverage (including spouse coverage) with Company (under COBRA) following the Effective Date (and Consultant's retirement from their previous employment with Company), Company shall pay for such COBRA coverage or, at the election of Consultant, shall reimburse Consultant for any cost and expense actually incurred by Consultant for such COBRA coverage during the time Consultant is rendering services hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, there shall not be (i) an extension of the COBRA coverage beyond eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date (the "Applicable COBRA Period") or (ii) any obligation by Company to pay for COBRA coverage or reimburse Consultant for such COBRA coverage beyond eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date; provided, however, that during the portion of the Term that extends past the Applicable COBRA Period, Company agrees to reimburse Consultant for any cost incurred by Consultant to secure and maintain equivalent health, vision and dental insurance to that provided to Consultant (and Consultant's spouse) during the Applicable COBRA Period and (ii) Company shall pay Consultant any amounts necessary to compensate Consultant for any additional tax obligation incurred by Consultant as a result of the obligations related to health, vision and dental insurance set forth in this Section 1(c)(ii) (including, without limitation, under this sentence).

**EXHIBIT 10.2**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)In connection with Consultant's execution of this Agreement, Company and Consultant shall enter into an amendment (the "SARs Amendment") to each outstanding award of stock appreciation rights ("SARs") held by Consultant granted under the Sinclair, Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the "SARs Plan") to extend the post-termination exercise period of the SARs on a Qualifying Termination (as defined in the SARs Amendment) from three (3) months or twelve (12) months, as applicable, to the ten (10)-year expiration date of the SARs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)The Company may, upon notice to the Consultant, withhold payments for work which is not performed in compliance with this Agreement and/or reasonably question any item(s) reflected on the Consultant's invoice ("the Disputed Work"). Pending the settlement or resolution of the Disputed Work, the non-payment of these items shall not constitute a default of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all amounts due that are not in dispute. In the event the Company withholds any payments from the Consultant due to the Disputed Work, the Company shall concurrently provide the Consultant with a detailed written notice setting forth the reason(s) for such non-acceptance, and the Consultant shall have a reasonable opportunity to correct such work or provision of evidence as to the validity of Consultant's work. Upon such correction or undisputed confirmation that work was performed pursuant to this Agreement, the withheld amounts shall be promptly paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)Consultant agrees to keep accurate records verifying any travel expenses directly related to this engagement, and Consultant shall provide such records to Company in its monthly invoice. Travel and incidental expenses for which Company will be responsible must be reasonable (e.g. consistent with the then-current travel policies applicable to Company executives with equivalent seniority to Consultant's role immediately prior to the Effective Date) approved in advance in writing by Company, verifiable with no markup, and consistent with the Company's travel and entertainment policy and practices with Consultant immediately prior to the Effective Date. The Company will advise whether Consultant is to use the Company's travel service to book such travel. Company has the right to cap Consultant out-of-pocket costs. Consultant is solely responsible for the payment of all income, social security, employment-related, or other taxes incurred as a result of the performance of the Services by Consultant under this Agreement, and for all obligations, reports, and timely notifications relating to those taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)Out of Pocket Expenses: During the term of this Agreement, Company agrees to timely reimburse Consultant solely for pre-approved (in writing) out of pocket costs, which may include, without limitation, certain supplies, mobile phone and data plan equivalent to what Consultant had immediately prior to the Effective Date, travel, meals, lodging, entertainment and registration costs incurred as part of performing services under this Agreement; Consultant's annual membership in the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD); registration, fees and expenses associated with Consultant's service on ATSC's Business Advisory Council (collectively, "Out of Pocket Expenses").

Company shall make available to Consultant a laptop and a card key to access building, which laptop and card key shall be returned by Consultant to Company upon termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d) Reporting.** Consultant's primary contacts will be the CEO and/or Vice Chairman of the Company or such persons' successors with an equivalent title.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e) Services.** Without limiting the scope of Services, Consultant shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)perform the Services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)devote as much productive time, energy, and ability to the performance of their duties under this Agreement as may be necessary to provide the required Services in a timely and productive manner;

For purposes of this Agreement, "good cause" by Consultant shall mean (i) the Company's material breach of the Agreement, gross misconduct, committing theft, fraud, or any other criminal act, engaging in harassment or discrimination directed towards Consultant, or violation of federal, state or local law, or (ii) a change of control of Company or other material restructuring involving the merger of all or substantially all of Company's broadcast assets with a third-party or a spin-off or split of Sinclair Ventures, Inc. from the Company (a "Company Transaction"), in each case in which the acquiring or surviving party with respect to such Company Transaction declines to assume this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c) Effect of Termination.** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Upon a Termination for Convenience of this Agreement by Consultant at any time, or upon Company's termination for "good cause", then Company shall only be liable for payment of Services Fees for Services rendered by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement prior to such

**EXHIBIT 10.2**

termination date and any Out of Pocket Expenses incurred by Consultant prior to such termination date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In the event of a Termination for Convenience by Company or Termination for "good cause" by Consultant, at any time during the Term, Consultant shall receive a one-time payment in an amount equal to the remaining Services Fees (calculated as 8 hours per week) and Health Insurance Fees that would have otherwise been payable to Consultant during the remainder of the Term absent such Termination for Convenience by Company or Termination for "good cause" by Consultant (an "Early Termination Payment"), any Out of Pocket Expenses incurred by Consultant prior to such termination date, and any Services Fees and Health Insurance Fees due and payable through the Termination date.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WARRANTY.** 

Consultant warrants and represents that all Services (i) will be accurate to the best of the Consultant's knowledge and performed in a timely and professional manner; (ii) meet Company's and Consultant's mutually agreed upon written requirements and specifications; and (iii) to the knowledge of Consultant, will conform to all applicable laws and regulations. Consultant further warrants and represents that any software, technologies or other elements used as a part of its Services are properly licensed and do not infringe the proprietary rights of any third party.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.** 

Consultant acknowledges that during her provision of services for Company, Consultant will have access to confidential and proprietary information regarding the business of Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates and their clients (the "Company Entities"). This confidential and proprietary information includes, but is not limited to, (a) information regarding the business, operations, or internal structure of the Company Entities, including marketing and product strategy, distribution, and sales information, (b) any method and/or procedure relating or pertaining to projects developed or to be developed by the Company Entities, and/or (c) the Company Entities' intellectual property (including trade secrets, designs, plans and other technical specifications), which information or knowledge Consultant shall have obtained while providing services for Company, and which is otherwise of a secret or confidential nature (collectively, "Confidential Information). Consultant agrees that they shall not disclose to any person, other than in the course of performing its consulting duties for Company, any Confidential Information unless otherwise required by law or government/court order. In addition, Consultant (x) shall use due care and diligence to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of such information, and (y) shall be responsible for any breaches of such Confidential Information by its employees.

In the event that Consultant is requested or becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or under the provision of applicable law or regulation) to disclose any of the Confidential Information or the fact that the Confidential Information has been made available, it is agreed that Consultant will provide Company with prompt written notice of such request(s) so that Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event

------

**EXHIBIT 10.2**

that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Consultant agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, based upon the advice of Consultant's counsel, Consultant is compelled to disclose and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information which is being disclosed.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WORKS MADE FOR HIRE.**

Consultant agrees and acknowledges that Company (or its designee) is the sole and exclusive owner of the rights to the results, fruit, proceeds and work product in connection with Consultant's Services, this Agreement, or any services agreement with Company, including, but not limited to, all drawings, plans, original works of authorship, ideas, projects, scripts, artwork, software programs, applications, strategies, lay-outs, story boards, slogans, designs, reports and other documents, whether or not protected or capable of protection under the law of copyrights, trademarks, patents or trade secrets (collectively, "Work Product"). The Work Product shall upon creation become the property of Company, and all evidence thereof shall, without any compensation to Consultant, become the property of Company. All of the Work Product constitutes "work made for hire" as such term is defined in Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 (U.S.C. 17 §101), as amended, such that all copyrights in such Work Product, in any and all media and through all forms of communication or transmission, whether presently known or hereafter developed, are the exclusive property of Company (or its designee). If for any reason any or all of the Work Product does not qualify as "work made for hire," Consultant is deemed to have hereby irrevocably, sold, assigned and transferred to Company all right, title and interest in and to the copyright(s) in such Work Product. Consultant agrees that it will require any third party whom Consultant retains to assist with or contribute to the Work Product to acknowledge in writing that Company has all rights, title and interest in the Work Product; and in the event it is determined that such third party has rights to the Work Product, said party will transfer such rights to Company without charge. Should Company desire to apply for or secure any copyright, trademark or trade name registration(s) or patent(s) on or related to any part(s) or all of the Work Product, Consultant will assist in securing such protection without any further compensation to Consultant.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INDEMNIFICATION**

Company agrees to fully release Consultant from, and to fully indemnify and defend Consultant against, any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable outside counsel fees, arising from Consultant's work related to the Services or the Company, except to the extent that any such claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses are due to Consultant's intentional misconduct. Company shall add Consultant to Company's insurance policies for coverage including but not limited to Company's D&O insurance policy and E&O insurance policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Arbitration. Consultant and Company each agree to submit any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a "Dispute") exclusively to final and binding arbitration before a mutually agreeable and neutral arbitrator (provided, however, that in the event the Parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules for employment disputes), by providing a written request to the other party within three (3) months following the event or occurrence giving rise to a Dispute.

------

**EXHIBIT 10.2**

would result in such a material change so as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be unreasonable.

(a) Each Loan hereunder shall be made on prior written request from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Lender delivered on a Business Day in the form of a Loan Request attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>. Each such request for a Loan shall be made no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such Loan (<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 Loan(s) requested (which amount shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and shall not be less than $500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000), (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Lenders (which shall be ratable based on the Commitments) and (iii) the date such requested Loan is to be made (which shall be a Business Day). Unless the information in each Loan Request is also entered by the Borrower on-line in the Administrative Agent's electronic "Vantage" portal, the requested Loan shall be subject to (and unless the Administrative Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Loan shall not be funded until) satisfactory completion of the Administrative Agent's authentication process.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the date of each Loan specified in the applicable Loan Request, the Lenders 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 Lender's ratable share of the amount of Principal requested. On the date of each Loan, the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower, in immediately available funds, at the Facility Account, the amount of such Principal funded by all Lenders on such date.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender, with a copy to the Borrower, prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender 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 Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrower 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 Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of such Lender, 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 Borrower, the Federal Funds Rate.

If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If the Borrower shall have returned any such amount with interest thereon to the Administrative Agent, then the outstanding Loans of the applicable Lender shall be reduced by such amount paid by the Borrower (including the amount of interest thereon paid by the Borrower). Any such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding Principal of each Lender on the Final Maturity Date. Prior thereto, the Borrower shall, on each Settlement Date, make a repayment of the outstanding Principal of the Lenders 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 Lenders in accordance with <u>Section 4.02</u>. Additionally, if on any Business Day a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Master Servicer determines or is advised that a Borrowing Base Deficit exists, the Borrower shall within one Business Day reduce the outstanding Principal of the Lenders to the extent required to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower, in its discretion, shall have the right to make a prepayment, in whole or in part by payment in accordance with <u>Section 4.02</u>, the outstanding Principal of the Lenders on any Business Day upon two (2) Business Days' prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the form of a Reduction Notice attached hereto as <u>Exhibit E</u>; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>*,* that (i) each such prepayment 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 prepayment may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Borrowing Base Deficit existing at such time to zero and (ii) any accrued Interest and Fees in respect of the portion(s) of Principal 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower may, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (or such shorter time period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion), 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 Lender shall be ratably reduced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with any reduction of the Facility Limit and the corresponding Commitments, the Borrower shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Lenders, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) Principal of each Lender in excess of its Commitment as so reduced and (B) all other outstanding Borrower 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 Borrower Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments

 39 <br>

------

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 Principal, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Borrower Obligations with respect to such reduction, by paying such amounts to the Lenders.

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

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 Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Principal of each Lender, together with all Interest accruing thereon and all other Borrower Obligations.

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Commitment and Principal of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders 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 Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby (if such Lender is directly affected thereby).

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 Borrower'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

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>second</u>, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender and other Credit Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Interest and Fees due to such Lender and other Credit Party for the immediately preceding Interest 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 Interest 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 Interest Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Lender or Credit Party;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>third</u>, as set forth in <u>clause (x)</u>, <u>(y)</u> or <u>(z)</u> below, 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the extent that a Borrowing Base Deficit exists on such date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Principal of each Lender at such time) for the payment of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Principal at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Borrowing Base Deficit to zero ($0);

&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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(y)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on and after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Principal of each Lender at such time) for the payment in full of the aggregate outstanding Principal of such Lender at such time; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(z)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, at the election of the Borrower and in accordance with <u>Section 2.02(d)</u>, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender for the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Principal of the Lenders at such time (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Principal of each Lender 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>fourth</u>, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing by the Borrower to the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties; and

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All payments or distributions to be made by the Master Servicer, the Borrower and any other Person to the Lenders (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the related Lender at its Lender's Account. Each Lender, upon its receipt in the applicable Lender's Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable related Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties ratably; <u>provided</u> that if such Lender shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Lender shall pay such amounts to the applicable Affected Persons and the Borrower 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 Lender 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 Lenders required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including the applicable account of each Lender for which amounts should be distributed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Credit Party, any Affected Person or any Borrower 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 Borrower and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Credit Party, such Affected Person or such Borrower Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Borrower for such amount.

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

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Borrower, any Originator, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, 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 Borrower 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 Borrowing Base 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 Sinclair Party pay to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such

 43 <br>

------

time) for the benefit of the Credit Parties for application pursuant to <u>Section 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 Borrowing Base 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;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if on any day any of the representations or warranties in <u>Section 7.01</u> is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Borrower 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 Borrowing Base 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 Sinclair Party pay to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Credit Parties for application pursuant to <u>Section 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 Borrowing Base 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>");

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Borrower or the Master Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Credit Party, any Affected Person or any Borrower 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 Lender 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 Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lenders hereunder that the Borrower (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) will not make such payment (including

 44 <br>

------

because Collections are not available therefor), the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower 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 Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Interest on Unpaid Amounts</u>. Each of the Borrower 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Computational Conventions</u>. All computations of interest under <u>subsection (b)</u> above and all computations of Interest, 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.

A certificate of an Affected Person setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in <u>clause (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in <u>Section 4.01</u>, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after the Borrower's receipt of such certificate.

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.

Promptly upon notice by the Administrative Agent or any Affected Person, the Borrower 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 Borrower. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the

Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Borrower and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower, the Master Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Lender 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 Lender 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or any of its respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this <u>clause (d)</u>.

As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this <u>Section 5.03</u>, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>5.03(f)(ii)(B)</u> and <u>5.03(g)</u>) shall not be required if, in the <u>Lender</u>'s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to <u>Section 5.06</u>, in connection with any request for any Loan 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 Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, accruing yield by reference to Daily One Month Term SOFR on any day or (ii) the Majority Lenders 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 Lenders of making or maintaining any such Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, on any day and, in the case of <u>clause (ii)</u>, the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Loans accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR and any right of the Borrower to convert or continue any Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, as a Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to <u>clause (ii)</u>, at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a making of, conversion to or continuation of Loan or Portion of Principal accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, (to the extent of the affected Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a making of or conversion to a Loan or Portion of Principal, 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 Loan or

 51 <br>

------

Portion of Principal, as applicable, will be deemed to have been immediately converted into a Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, accruing yield at the sum of the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to any Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, accruing yield at Daily One Month Term SOFR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Lenders (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 Lenders (or any of their respective lending offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Loan 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 Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders (an "<u>Illegality Notice</u>"). Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make any Loan accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR and any right of the Borrower to convert any request for a Loan to a Loan 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 Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all affected Loans or Portions of Principal, as applicable to a Loan or Portion of Principal, 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 Loan or Portion of Principal, 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 Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loan or Portion of Principal, as applicable, accruing yield at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR to such day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the 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 Borrower 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.

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 Borrower 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 Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<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 "Interest 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 "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued during such Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Certain Defined Terms</u>. As used in this <u>Section 5.06</u> or otherwise in the Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of <u>clause (3)</u> of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event", the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

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).

**ARTICLE IX<br>ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION<br>OF RECEIVABLES**

SECTION 9.01. <u>Appointment of the Master Servicer.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Master Servicer in accordance with this <u>Section 9.01</u>. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to Sinclair (in accordance with this <u>Section 9.01</u>) of the designation of a new Master Servicer, Sinclair is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Lenders) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) designate as Master Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Sinclair or any successor Master Servicer (other than a Sinclair Competitor), on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the designation of a successor Master Servicer as set forth in <u>clause (a)</u> above, Sinclair agrees that it will terminate its activities as Master Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Master Servicer, and Sinclair shall cooperate with and assist such new Master Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Master Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or reasonably desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sinclair acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Lender have relied on Sinclair's agreement to act as Master Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Sinclair agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Master Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Master Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a "<u>Sub-Servicer</u>") and the performance of such duties and obligations by the Sub-Servicer shall be deemed performance thereof by the Master Servicer; <u>provided</u>, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Master Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right to look solely to the Master Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Master Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the

 94 <br>

------

Majority Lenders shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation; <u>provided</u>, no such consent shall be required with respect to the delegation of any duties to outside collection agencies with respect to Defaulted Receivables.

SECTION 9.02. <u>Duties of the Master Servicer</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Master Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the past practices of the Originators. The Master Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Lender, the amount of Collections to which each such Lender is entitled in accordance with <u>Article IV</u> hereof. The Master Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Master Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; <u>provided</u>, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Master Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Lender), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Master Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Master Servicer's obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower all books, records and related materials that the Borrower previously provided to the Master Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Master Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03. <u>Collection Account Arrangements.</u> On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have entered into Control Agreements with all of the Collection Account Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Lenders) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Lenders) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control

 95 <br>

------

over the funds deposited therein (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent's instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Control Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Borrower hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrower or the Master Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.04. <u>Enforcement Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination:

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Administrative Agent may instruct the Borrower or the Master Servicer to give notice of the Secured Parties' interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and the Borrower or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Borrower or the Master Servicer, as the case may be; <u>provided</u>, that if the Borrower or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within five (5) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (at the Borrower's or the Master Servicer's, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Administrative Agent may request the Master Servicer to, and upon such request the Master Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Master Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;

&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;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Administrative Agent may notify the Collection Account Banks that the Borrower and the Master Servicer will no longer have any access to the Collection Accounts;

&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;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall) replace the Person then acting as Master Servicer; and

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon an Event of Termination are in addition to and not exclusive of the rights and remedies contained herein and under the other Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Borrower and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Borrower on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Master Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Master Servicer, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Master Servicer and on behalf of the Master Servicer necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Master Servicer on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Collateral.

**ARTICLE XI<br>THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT**

SECTION 11.01. <u>Authorization and Action</u>. Each Credit Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any Credit Party except for any obligations expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall the Administrative Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law.

SECTION 11.02. <u>Administrative Agent's Reliance, Etc</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent's servicing, administering or collecting Pool Receivables in the event it replaces the Master Servicer in such capacity pursuant to <u>Section 9.01</u>), in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may consult with

 103 <br>

------

legal counsel (including counsel for any Credit Party or the Master Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Credit Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Credit Party; (d) shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 11.03. <u>Administrative Agent and Affiliates</u>. With respect to any Credit Extension or interests therein owned by any Credit Party that is also the Administrative Agent, such Credit Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Credit Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

SECTION 11.04. <u>Indemnification of Administrative Agent</u>. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the respective Percentage of such Lender, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 11.05. <u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 11.06. <u>Action or Inaction by Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, and assurance of its indemnification by the Lenders, as it deems appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or

 104 <br>

------

in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Credit Parties. The Credit 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 Lenders or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Lender, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders.

SECTION 11.07. <u>Notice of Events of Termination; Action by Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Credit Party or the Borrower stating that an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Lender. The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, concerning an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination or any other matter hereunder as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

SECTION 11.08. <u>Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Parties</u>. Each Credit Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower, each Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Master Servicer and the Pool Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by the Administrative Agent to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any information concerning the Borrower, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Master Servicer that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 11.09. <u>Successor Administrative Agent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrative Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days' notice to the Borrower, the Master Servicer and each Lender, resign as Administrative Agent. Except as provided below, such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Majority Lenders as a successor Administrative Agent and has accepted such appointment, subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required

 105 <br>

------

upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, within thirty (30) days after the departing Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent, subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders within sixty (60) days after the departing Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent, and the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this <u>Article XI</u> and <u>Article XIII</u> shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.10. <u>Erroneous Payments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Secured Party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party (each such recipient, a "<u>Payment Recipient</u>") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in <u>clauses (i)</u> or <u>(ii)</u> of this <u>Section 11.10(a),</u> whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an "<u>Erroneous Payment</u>"), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; <u>provided</u> that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in <u>clauses (i)</u> or <u>(ii)</u> above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the

 106 <br>

------

Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of <u>clause (a)(ii)</u> above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the case of either <u>clause (a)(i)</u> or <u>(a)(ii)</u> above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding <u>clause (c)</u>, from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an "<u>Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency</u>"), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent's written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Principal (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "<u>Erroneous Payment Impacted Class</u>") to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Principal (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "<u>Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment</u>") plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, the Administrative Agent may cancel any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such revocation all of the Principal assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this <u>clause (d)</u> shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this <u>clause (d)</u> shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of <u>Section 14.03</u> and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such

 107 <br>

------

Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 11.10</u> or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Borrower Obligations, the Borrower Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 11.10</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Borrower Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 123 <br>

------

hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured); <u>provided</u> that such Credit Party shall notify the Borrower 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):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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

 124 <br>

------

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 Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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>Post-Closing Covenant</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No later than the Post-Closing Date, the Borrower and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent both (i) confirmation that each Subject Filing has either (x) been amended to explicitly exclude the Collateral or (y) been terminated and (ii) an acknowledgement copy of each of the related UCC-3 Financing Statement Amendments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the failure of the Borrower or the Master Servicer to timely perform its obligations under this <u>Section 14.21</u> shall constitute an immediate Event of Termination under this Agreement with no grace period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 (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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that to the extent the Buyer does not have cash available therefore and the issuance of, or increase in outstanding principal under, a Subordinated Note would exceed 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, the remaining amount of the Purchase Price required to be paid to the Contributing Originator may be paid in the form of a capital contribution by the Contributing Originator to the Buyer in an amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price. 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<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 Financing Agreement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Second</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; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Third</u>*, solely in the case of the Contributing Originator, 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.

"<u>Net Worth</u>" has the meaning set forth in the definition of "Borrower's Net Worth" contained in the Receivables Financing 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6

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>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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>5.21</u>, <u>5.23</u>, <u>5.24</u>, <u>5.27</u> or <u>5.28</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>5.21</u>, <u>5.23</u>, <u>5.24</u>, <u>5.27</u> or <u>5.28</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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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:

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.

SECTION 7.4 <u>Application of Collections</u>. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Master Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder (such application to be made starting with the oldest outstanding Receivable or Receivables) before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

SECTION 7.5 <u>Performance of Obligations</u>. Each Originator shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables generated by such Originator to the same extent as if interests in such Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder or under the Receivables Financing Agreement (as applicable) shall not relieve any Originator from any such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including, without limitation, any sales taxes payable in connection with the Receivables generated by such Originator and their creation and

To the extent that the Buyer (or following the occurrence of any Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent) instructs such Originator to remit any such Collections on deposit in any such Originator Account, such Originator shall promptly remit such Collections directly to the Administrative Agent in partial satisfaction of the Borrower Obligations and to be applied in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement.

Each Originator further agrees that notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount in respect of any Subordinated Note or otherwise to such Originator pursuant to this Agreement unless the Buyer has received funds which may, subject to Section 4.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement, be used to make such payment. Any amount which the Buyer does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of the Buyer by such Originator for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this <u>Section 10.12</u> shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), the Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice or demand to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under the Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of the Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of the Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of the Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and the Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>General</u>. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, restatement, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exhibit B-6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Receivables Sale Agreement*

to, any provision of this Subordinated Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Buyer and the Holder and acknowledged and agreed to by the Administrative Agent and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<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'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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Assignment</u>. The Originator may assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations deriving from this Subordinated Note to any secured party under any Sinclair Debt; <u>provided</u> that such secured party 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 any secured party under any Sinclair Debt.

AGREEMENT

***NOW, THEREFORE,*** for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which Performance Guarantor hereby acknowledges, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

------

Section 1. <u>Definitions</u>. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Sale Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Receivables Financing Agreement. In addition:

***"Receivables Financing Agreement"*** means that certain Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among Borrower, Master Servicer, the lenders from time to time party thereto (each, together with its successors and permitted assigns, a ***"Lender"*** and all, together with their successors and assigns, the ***"Lenders"***), and the Administrative Agent, as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time.

***"Obligations"*** means, collectively, all covenants, agreements, duties, indemnities and other obligations to be performed or observed by any Covered Entity under and pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by such Covered Entity under and in accordance with the Sale Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement or any other Transaction Document, whether for fees, expenses (including Attorney Costs), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason.

Section 2. <u>Guaranty of Performance of Obligations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Performance Guarantor hereby guarantees to Administrative Agent, the full and punctual payment and performance by the Covered Entities of their respective Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting the scope of the Obligations, Performance Guarantor shall have no obligation to guaranty any obligations of the Obligors under Contracts related to Pool Receivables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing undertaking of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations under the Sale Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Administrative Agent first attempt to collect any payment Obligations from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in favor of any Covered Entity or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment in respect of any Obligations. Should any Covered Entity default in the payment or performance of any of its Obligations, Administrative Agent (or its assigns) may cause the immediate performance or payment by Performance Guarantor of the Obligations of such Covered Entity, without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Performance Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that (i) this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables, and Performance Guarantor shall not be responsible for any Obligations to the extent the failure to pay or perform such Obligations by any Covered Entity results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition resulting in the inability to pay in respect of an Obligor and (ii) the guaranteed Obligations do not include the payment or guaranty of any amounts to the extent such amounts constitute recourse with respect to a Receivable by reason of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor.

------

Section 3. <u>Reinstatement, etc</u>. The Performance Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any Obligation, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to such Person or to the estate, trustee, or receiver of such Person or to any other party, including, without limitation, the Performance Guarantor, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligations or any part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 4. <u>Confirmation</u>. Performance Guarantor hereby confirms that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been arranged among the Administrative Agent, the Covered Entities, Master Servicer and the Lenders, as applicable, with Performance Guarantor's full knowledge and consent and any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance with, the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof by any of the foregoing shall be deemed to be with Performance Guarantor's full knowledge and consent.

Section 5. <u>Performance Guarantor's Further Agreements to Pay</u>. Performance Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Administrative Agent (and its assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Administrative Agent, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and Attorney Costs) incurred or expended by Administrative Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Undertaking, together with, without duplication, interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due hereunder until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the lesser of (a) the Alternative Base Rate for each date during such period and (b) the maximum interest rate permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 6. <u>Waivers by Performance Guarantor</u>. Performance Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that Administrative Agent (or its assigns) be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of the Termination Date, any Event of Termination, any other default or omission by any Covered Entity or asserting any other rights of Administrative Agent under this Undertaking. Performance Guarantor warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from each Covered Entity, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of such Covered Entity, and that it is not relying on Administrative Agent to provide such information, now or in the future. Performance Guarantor also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Administrative Agent (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Performance Guarantor and without relieving Performance Guarantor of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with each Covered Entity and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems fit, and to this end Performance Guarantor agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of <u>Section 10</u> hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time (except that any such extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations, if duly granted or agreed to be granted in accordance with the Transaction Documents, shall be given

------

effect in determining the extent of the Obligations which the Undertaking is required to perform or cause to be performed); (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of the Termination Date, any Event of Termination or any default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto (except that any such waiver, if duly granted, agreed to be granted or made in accordance with the Transaction Documents, shall be given effect in determining the extent of the Obligations which the Undertaking is required to perform or cause to be performed); (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof (except that any such release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, if duly granted, agreed to be granted or made in accordance with the Transaction Documents, shall be given effect in determining the extent of the Obligations which the Undertaking is required to perform or cause to be performed); (e) the enforceability, validity, binding effect, legality, subordination or disaffirmance of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity or amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance with, any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any payment Obligations or any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though Administrative Agent (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Performance Guarantor may have at any time against any Covered Entity in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of any Covered Entity to perform or comply with any term of the Sale Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, in each case whether or not Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this <u>Section 6</u>.

Section 7. <u>Unenforceability of Obligations Against Covered Entities</u>. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Covered Entity; (b) the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Covered Entity; (c) the change in or the imposition of any Applicable Law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (d) the failure of any Covered Entity or Performance Guarantor to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Undertaking; or (e) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the applicable Covered Entity for any other reason other than payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Covered Entity or for any other reason with respect to any Covered Entity, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Obligations under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, shall if not paid or performed by such Covered Entity be immediately due and payable by Performance Guarantor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Solvency</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Material Adverse Effect</u>. Since December 31, 2024, no event has occurred that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>ERISA</u>.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Sinclair Credit Agreement.</u> The facility established by the Receivables Financing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitutes a "Permitted Receivables Financing" and the Borrower constitutes a "Receivables Subsidiary", in each case as defined in the Sinclair Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Due Qualification and Licenses</u>.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Performance Guarantor has all requisite power and authority, material 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, the Performance Guarantor 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). The Performance Guarantor 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. No event has occurred which (1) has resulted in, or after notice or lapse of time or both would reasonably be expected to result in, revocation, suspension, adverse modification, non-renewal, impairment, restriction or termination of, or any order of forfeiture with respect to, any material License or (2) materially and adversely affects or could reasonably be expected in the future to materially and adversely affect the rights of the Performance Guarantor thereunder. Each FCC License is held by a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Performance Guarantor and in accordance with Applicable Law. None of the FCC Licenses requires that any present stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Performance Guarantor 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.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Sinclair 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 Sinclair Party has any reason to believe that any material Licenses of any Sinclair Party will not be renewed in the ordinary course. Each Sinclair 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 timely file or submit to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Sinclair Parties maintain appropriate public files for the Stations in a manner that complies in all material respects with all FCC Regulations.

Section 9. <u>Covenants</u>. Performance Guarantor covenants and agrees that, from the date hereof until the Final Payout Date, it shall observe and perform the following covenants:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compliance with Laws</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Preservation of Existence and Franchises</u>. The Performance Guarantor shall keep in full force and effect its existence and rights as a limited liability company or other entity under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Performance Guarantor shall obtain and preserve its Licenses and qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business as required by this Undertaking

------

requires such qualification, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Structural Changes</u>. The Performance Guarantor shall not permit itself to merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, any Person, unless (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation, the Performance Guarantor is the surviving entity and both (x) no Change in Control shall result and (y) no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom or (ii) the Performance Guarantor has (x) received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (y) delivered to the Administrative Agent all instruments and other documents and opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Actions Contrary to Separateness</u>. It shall not take any action inconsistent with the terms of Section 8.03 of the Receivables Financing Agreement or Section 6.2 of the Sale Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Collections</u>. In the event any Collections are remitted directly to the Performance Guarantor, it shall remit (or shall cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after payment thereof, and at all times prior to such remittance, it will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held for the exclusive benefit of the Borrower and its assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws; Beneficial Ownership Regulation, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Sanctions</u>. The Performance Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to (a) maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure 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 Lender that previously received a Beneficial Ownership Certification (or a certification that the Borrower qualifies for an express exclusion to the "legal entity customer" definition under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation) 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 (or, if applicable, the Borrower ceasing to fall within an express exclusion to the definition of "legal entity customer" under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation) and (c) promptly upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide the Administrative Agent or directly to such Lender, 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;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<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 Borrower. 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;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<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.

------

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 Lender against any Covered Entity to the claims of Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 Lenders. 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, subject to the applicable exceptions specified in Section 5.03 of the Receivables Financing Agreement. 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 Lenders, 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 Lender shall be subject to compliance by such Person with Section 5.03(f) of the Receivables Financing Agreement.

Section 14. <u>Indemnities by Performance Guarantor</u>. Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders 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;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. The 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 Lenders). The Performance Guarantor acknowledges that pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement, Borrower 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 Lenders, 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 Lenders 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 Lenders) 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.
