a North Carolina limited liability company (“Guarantor,” whether one or more), with an address for notice of 136 Main

with an address for notice of 520 W. Summit Hill Drive, Suite 801, Knoxville, Tennessee 37902.

 

A.
Gvest Springlake Homes LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), is indebted to Lender pursuant to
the following loan (“Loan”) evidenced, governed, and/or secured by the following (collectively, the “Loan Documents”):
(i) that certain Promissory Note (“Note”) dated November 12, 2021 from Borrower to Lender in the principal amount of
$2,000,000.00, as amended and restated pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated of even date herewith from
Borrower to Lender in the principal amount of $3,300,000.00; (ii) that certain Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”)
dated November 12, 2021 by and between Borrower, Lender, Guarantor, and the other parties thereto, as amended pursuant to that certain
Modification Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between Borrower, Lender, Guarantor, and the other parties thereto; (iii) that
that certain Guaranty dated as of November 12, 2021 from Guarantor to Lender, as amended and restated by this Amended and Restated Guaranty;
and (iv) those Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), all as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, modified,
consolidated, renewed or replaced.

 

B.
Lender is not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to Borrower unless Guarantor unconditionally guarantees payment
and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations (defined below).

 

C.
Guarantor is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, and Guarantor will directly benefit from Lender’s making the
Loan to Borrower.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and to extend such additional credit as Lender may from time to time
agree to extend under the Note, the Loan Agreement, and the Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows.

 

1.
Continuing Guaranty. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender (and its successors and assigns), jointly
and severally, the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration
of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that Guarantor is jointly and severally
liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor, and that Guarantor shall fully perform, jointly and severally, each and every
term and provision hereof.

 

2.
Guaranteed Obligations. For the purposes of this Guaranty, “Guaranteed Obligations” is used in its most comprehensive
sense and means and includes any and all of Borrower’s obligations to make any payment and perform any obligation to Lender pursuant
to the Note or the Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereinafter incurred or created, including all outstanding principal and all
accrued but unpaid interest (including any late charges and default interest) owing under the Note plus all fees, costs, and expenses
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection with the Loan.

 

    1

     

    

 

3.
Nature of Guaranty; Joint and Several Obligation. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall be open and continuous for so long
as this Guaranty remains in force. Guarantor intends to guarantee at all times the performance and prompt payment when due, whether at
maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise, of all Guaranteed Obligations. Accordingly, no payments made upon the Guaranteed
Obligations will discharge or diminish the continuing liability of Guarantor in connection with any remaining portions of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that subsequently arises or is thereafter incurred or contracted. Guarantor
recognizes that there may be other guarantors of certain of the Guaranteed Obligations and that Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint
and several with respect to such other Guarantors.

 

4.
Duration of Guaranty. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or
any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Guaranteed Obligations incurred or contracted before
receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations of Guarantor
under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. This Guaranty will continue to bind Guarantor for all Guaranteed Obligations incurred
by Borrower or committed by Lender prior to receipt of Guarantor’s written notice of revocation, including any extensions, renewals,
substitutions or modifications of the Guaranteed Obligations. All renewals, extensions, substitutions and modifications of the Guaranteed
Obligations granted after Guarantor’s revocation, are contemplated under this Guaranty and, specifically will not be considered to be
new Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall bind the estate of Guarantor as to any Guaranteed Obligations created both before and
after the death or incapacity of Guarantor, regardless of Lender’s actual notice of Guarantor’s death. Release of any other guarantor
or termination of any other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A
revocation received by Lender from any one or more Guarantors, shall not affect the liability of any remaining Guarantor under this Guaranty.
This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor’s heirs, estate, successors and assigns so long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations
remain unpaid and even though the Guaranteed Obligations may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).

 

5.
Guarantor’s Authorization to Lender. Guarantor authorizes Lender, either before or after any revocation hereof, without notice or
demand, and without lessening Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, from time to time: (a) to alter, compromise, renew, extend,
accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or other terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
including increases and decreases of the rate of interest on the Guaranteed Obligations; extensions may be repeated and may be for longer
than the original term; (b) to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, and exchange, enforce,
waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any such security, with or without the substitution of new collateral;
(c) to release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any one or more of Borrower’s sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on
any terms or in any manner Lender may choose; (d) to determine how, when and what application of payments and credits shall be made on
the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) to apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation,
any nonjudicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreement, mortgage, or deed of trust, as Lender in its reasonable
discretion may determine; (f) to sell, transfer, assign, or grant participants in all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; and
(g) to assign or transfer this Guaranty in whole or in part. In connection with clause (g) above, upon sale, transfer or assignment of
the Note and any, some, or all of the Loan Documents, or any interest therein, by Lender to any third party (“Third Party”),
this Guaranty may also be assigned by Lender to the Third Party and the undersigned Guarantor acknowledges liability under this Guaranty
to such Third Party.

6.
Guarantor’s Representations, and Warranties, and Covenants. Guarantor represents and warrants and covenants to Lender that: (a) no
representations or agreements of any kind have been made to Guarantor which would limit or qualify in any way the terms of this Guaranty;
(b) this Guaranty is executed at Borrower’s request and not at the request of Lender; (c) Guarantor has full power, right and authority
to enter into this Guaranty; (d) the provisions of this Guaranty do not conflict with or result in a default under any agreement or other

(e) Guarantor has not and will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of substantially
all of Guarantor’s assets if such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition would have a material adverse effect upon Guarantor’s ability
to satisfy Guarantor’s obligation under this Guaranty; (f) upon Lender’s request, Guarantor will provide to Lender financial, tax, and
credit information in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, and all such financial and tax information (including tax returns) which
currently has been, and all future financial and tax information (including tax returns) which will be provided to Lender is and will
be true and correct in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements
provided to Lender and no event has occurred which may materially adversely affect Guarantor’s financial condition; (g) no litigation,
claim, investigation, administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against Guarantor is pending or
threatened that would have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s ability to satisfy Guarantor’s obligations under this
Guaranty; (h) Lender has made no representation to Guarantor as to the creditworthiness of Borrower; and (i) Guarantor has established
adequate means of obtaining from Borrower on a continuing basis information regarding Borrower’s financial condition. Guarantor agrees
to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events, or circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor’s risks under
this Guaranty, and Guarantor further agrees that, absent a request for information, Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor
any information or documents acquired by Lender in the course of its relationship with Borrower.

 

In
addition, the Guarantor agrees to provide Lender: (i) as soon as available, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after
the end of each calendar year, Guarantor shall furnish Lender with Guarantor’s personal financial statements and contingent debt
schedules of Guarantor in each case in comparative form to the figures for the previous year all in reasonable detail and prepared in
accordance with sound and consistently applied accounting principles, all as acceptable to Lender in form and substance; and (ii) copies
of Guarantor’s federal tax returns and extension filings acceptable to Lender as soon as available, and in any event within thirty
(30) days of when such were due to be filed (or within ten (10) days after the last date of any extension period, if applicable) (and
which filings Guarantor agrees to timely make with the Internal Revenue Service).

 

7.
Guarantor’s Waivers. Except as prohibited by applicable law. Guarantor waives any right to require Lender: (a) to continue lending
money or to extend other credit to Borrower; (b) to make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice of any kind, including notice of
any nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any nonpayment related to any collateral, or notice of any action or nonaction on
the part of the Borrower, Lender, any surety, endorser, or other guarantor in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in connection
with the creation of new or additional loans or obligations; (c) any defense based upon a failure of Lender to comply with the notice
requirements of the applicable version of Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-504; (d) to resort for payment or to proceed directly or
at once against any person, including Borrower or any other guarantor; (e) to proceed directly against or exhaust any collateral held
by Lender from Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person; (f) to pursue any other remedy within Lender’s power; or (g) to commit
any act or omission of any kind, or at any time, with respect to any matter whatsoever.

 

If
now or hereafter (a) Borrower shall be or become insolvent, and (b) the Guaranteed Obligations shall not at all times until paid be fully
secured by collateral pledged by Borrower, Guarantor hereby forever waives and relinquishes in favor of Lender and Borrower, and their
respective successors, any claim or right to payment Guarantor may now have or hereafter have or acquire against Borrower, by subrogation
or otherwise, so that at no time shall Guarantor be or become a “creditor” of Borrower within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section
547(b), or any successor provision of the federal bankruptcy laws.

 

    3

     

    

 

Guarantor
also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (a) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law or
any other law which may prevent Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Guarantor, before or after
Lender’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (b) any election
of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Guarantor’s subrogation rights or Guarantor’s rights to proceed against
Borrower for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying,
or discharging the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other guarantor, of any other person,
or by reason of the cessation of Borrower’ liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender, of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (d) any right to claim discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral
for the indebtedness; (e) any statute of limitations, if at any time any action or suit brought by Lender against Guarantor is commenced
there is outstanding amount owing by Borrower to Lender under the Guaranteed Obligations that is not barred by any applicable statute
of limitations; or (f) any defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations. If payment is made by Borrower, whether voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third party, on the Guaranteed Obligations and
thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that payment to Borrower’s trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any
federal or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be considered unpaid for the purpose
of enforcement of this Guaranty.

 

Guarantor
further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim
of setoff, counterclaim, counter demands, recoupment or similar right, whether such claim, demand or right may be asserted by the Borrower,
the Guarantor, or both.

 

8.
Guarantor’s Understanding With Respect to Waivers. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made
with Guarantor’s full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and
not contrary to public policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver
shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.

 

9.
Subordination of Borrower’s Debts to Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations owing by Borrower to Lender, whether
now existing or hereafter created, shall be prior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether
or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any account
whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation
of the assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise,
the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and shall be first
applied by Lender to the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor hereby assigns to Lender all claims that they may have or acquire against
Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower; provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only
for the purpose of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Guaranteed Obligations. If Lender so requests, any notes or
credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the
same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Guarantor agrees, and Lender hereby is authorized, in the name of
Guarantor, from time to time to execute and file financing statements and continuation statements and to execute such other documents
and to take such other actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights under this Guaranty.

a defense in any proceeding or action in which the validity of this Guaranty is at issue and hereby forever waives such defense. “Electronic
transmission” means any form of communication, such as facsimile or email, not directly involving the physical transmission
of actual paper, which creates a record (including a .PDF file) of the actual paper that may be retained, retrieved, reviewed and printed
by the recipient.

 

i)

    This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT (the “Instrument”) is delivered by Audacy, Inc. (the “Company”) to the Grantee listed below as follows:

    Grantee:        [●]

    Date of Grant:        [●]

RECITALS

    A.    The Audacy 2022 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of restricted stock units to directors, employees and certain consultants and advisors of the Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, all capitalized terms utilized herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

    B.    The Administrator has determined that it is to the advantage and interest of the Company to make a restricted stock unit grant as an inducement for Grantee to continue as an employee of the Company and to promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

    C.    This Instrument is granted under, and expressly subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan, which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated into this Restricted Stock Unit Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) by this reference.  

    NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Instrument, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

    1.    Restricted Stock Unit Grant.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Instrument and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Grantee the right to receive the following Award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units”), which entitles Grantee to receive one share of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Share” or “share”) for each Restricted Stock Unit pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred by Grantee or subjected to any security interest until the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan.

    Number of RSUs Granted:        [●]

    2.    Vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the conditions described in Paragraph 1 above:

        a.    The Restricted Stock Units shall vest according to the following schedule (“Vesting Schedule”), provided and on the condition that Grantee has been continuously employed by the Company through the applicable Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided herein:

        b.    In addition, if Grantee’s End of Service Date (as defined in Paragraph 2(c) below) is due to Grantee’s death, the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested.  In all other events and notwithstanding 
    1

anything herein to the contrary, Grantee shall forfeit all rights with respect to any portion of the Restricted Stock Units (and the underlying Common Shares) that have not yet vested as of Grantee’s End of Service Date.

        c.    For purposes of this Award, Grantee’s “End of Service Date”, unless otherwise specified by the Administrator, shall be the date of cessation of Grantee’s employment with the Company. 

    3.    Certificates.  Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, certificates representing the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units will not be issued by the Company until the Restricted Stock Units vest and settle in shares.  Upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, Grantee will receive a certificate representing (or electronic delivery of) the Common Shares underlying the vested Restricted Stock Units. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Restricted Stock Units shall settle as soon as practicable after the applicable Vesting Date, to the extent the terms and conditions herein are satisfied. 

    4.    Certain Rights During Restriction Period.  

        a.    Voting. During the period before the Restricted Stock Units vest and settle, including any period of deferral between vesting and settlement (the “Restriction Period”) Grantee shall not be entitled to vote the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units.

        b.    Dividend Equivalents.  During the Restriction Period, Grantee shall not be entitled to receive any cash dividends with respect to the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units; provided that, upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall pay Grantee an amount equal to the aggregate of all dividends per Common Share which were paid on the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units that vested and settled upon the lapse of the Restriction Period. 

        c.    Non-Cash Dividends; Reclassifications, Split Up; Etc.  During the Restriction Period, in the event of a dividend or distribution payable in stock or other property or a reclassification, split up or similar event, the shares or other property issued or declared with respect to the outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same Vesting Schedule and terms and conditions relating to vesting as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate.

    5.    Nonassignability of Rights.  During the Restriction Period, the Restricted Stock Units may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Grantee.  Any attempt to assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the shares, shall be null and void and without effect.  The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates.  This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without Grantee’s consent.

    6.    Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control, Section 14(b) of the Plan shall govern and the Administrator may take such actions as it deems appropriate to the extent permitted by the Plan. 

    7.    Award Subject to Plan Provisions.  This Award is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall govern.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Award is subject to the interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Administrator in accordance with the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (i) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (ii) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares, (iii) changes in capitalization of the Company, (iv) compliance with applicable federal communications laws, and (v) other requirements of applicable law.  The Administrator shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Award pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.

    8.    No Employment or Other Rights.
