(“MUFG”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for and on behalf of the Credit Parties and other Secured Parties, from time to time (each of the foregoing, including the Administrative Agent, a “Beneficiary” and, collectively, the “Beneficiaries”) under the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among Outfront Media Receivables LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“QRS Seller”), Outfront Media Receivables TRS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TRS Seller”; together with the QRS Seller, collectively, the “Sellers”), Performance Guarantor, Outfront Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as initial servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the Administrative Agent, Gotham Funding Corporation, as conduit purchaser and MUFG, as committed purchaser (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in, or by reference in, the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The interpretive provisions set out in Section 1.02 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be incorporated herein and applied in the interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 1.Undertaking. For value received by it and its Affiliates, Performance Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assures and undertakes (as primary obligor and not merely as surety) for the benefit of each of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual performance and observance by each Originator and the Servicer (and any of their respective successors or assigns in such capacity which is an Affiliate of Performance Guarantor) of all their respective covenants, agreements, undertakings, indemnities and other obligations or liabilities (including, in each case, those related to any breach by any Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, of its respective representations, warranties and covenants), whether monetary or non-monetary and regardless of the capacity in which incurred (including all of any Originator’s or the Servicer’s payment, repurchase, Deemed Collections, indemnity or similar obligations), under any of the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), irrespective of: (A) the validity, binding effect, legality, subordination, disaffirmance, enforceability or amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any documents related hereto or thereto, (B) any change in the existence, formation or ownership of, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, any Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person, (C) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, exchange, waiver or release in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation (or any collateral security therefor, including the property sold, contributed (or purportedly sold or contributed) or otherwise pledged or transferred by any Originator under the Purchase and Sale Agreement) of any party to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other related documents, (D) the existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim or other right that Performance Guarantor or any other Person may have against any Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person, (E) any impossibility or impracticability
of performance, illegality, force majeure, act of war or terrorism, any act of any Governmental Authority or any other circumstance or occurrence that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense available to, or provides a discharge of, any Originator, the Servicer or Performance Guarantor, (F) any Applicable Law affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Transaction Document, or rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Beneficiary with respect thereto or otherwise, (G) the failure by the Administrative Agent or any Beneficiary to take any steps to perfect and maintain perfected its interest in, or the impairment or release of, any Supporting Assets or (H) any failure to obtain any authorization or approval from or other action by, or to provide any notification to or make any filing, any Governmental Authority required in connection with the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Performance Guarantor agrees that if any Originator or the Servicer shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of its respective Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be performed or observed under any applicable Transaction Document to which it is a party, then Performance Guarantor will itself duly and punctually perform or observe or cause to be performed or observed such Guaranteed Obligations. It shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of the Performance Guarantor hereunder to perform or to observe any Guaranteed Obligation that the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to the Performance Guarantor, any Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person or have initiated any action or proceeding against the Performance Guarantor, any Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person in respect thereof. Performance Guarantor also hereby expressly waives any defenses based on any of the provisions set forth above and all defenses it may have as a guarantor or a surety generally or otherwise based upon suretyship, impairment of collateral or otherwise in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations whether in equity or at law. Performance Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional. Performance Guarantor hereby also expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind whatsoever, as well as any requirement that the Beneficiaries (or any of them) exhaust any right to take any action against any Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person (including the filing of any claims in the event of a receivership or bankruptcy of any of the foregoing), or with respect to any collateral or collateral security at any time securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and hereby consents to any and all extensions of time of the due performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Performance Guarantor agrees that it shall not exercise or assert any right which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement unless and until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. For the sake of clarity, and without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Guaranteed Obligations do not include the payment or guaranty of any amounts to the extent such amounts constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Receivable by reason of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor.
Section 2. Confirmation. Performance Guarantor hereby confirms that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been arranged among the Sellers, the Originators, the Servicer and the Beneficiaries, 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
2 | ||
be deemed to be with Performance Guarantor’s full knowledge and consent. Performance Guarantor hereby confirms (i) that on the date hereof, it directly or indirectly owns 100% of the Capital Stock of each Originator, the Servicer and each Seller and (ii) that it is in the best interest of Performance Guarantor to execute this Agreement, inasmuch as Performance Guarantor (individually) and Performance Guarantor and its Affiliates (collectively) will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Performance Guarantor agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent in the event that it ceases to directly or indirectly own 100% of the Capital Stock of any Originator, the Servicer or any Seller.

(II) TO THE EXTENT THAT IT HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID TO EXECUTION, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 6. Termination of Performance Guaranty. (a) This Agreement and Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain operative and continue in full force and effect until the later of (i) the Final Payout Date, and (ii) such time as all Guaranteed Obligations are duly performed and indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, provided, that this Agreement and Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder 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 Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Originator, any Seller, Servicer or otherwise, as applicable, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any of the Beneficiaries (or their respective assigns) are in possession of this Agreement. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Applicable Laws, or any other Applicable Law or order of any Governmental Authority thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations, shall impair, affect, or be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement shall survive the insolvency of any Originator, the Servicer, any Seller, any Beneficiary or any other Person and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Originator, the Servicer, any Seller or any other Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Applicable Law. No automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Applicable Law with respect to any
8 | ||
Originator, the Servicer, any Seller or any other Person shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Agreement.
Section 7. Set-off. Each Beneficiary (and its assigns) is hereby authorized by Performance Guarantor at any time and from time to time, without notice to Performance Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Performance Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other sums at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, any such Beneficiary to or for the credit to the account of Performance Guarantor, against any and all Guaranteed Obligations of Performance Guarantor, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement.
Section 8. Entire Agreement; Severability; No Party Deemed Drafter. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Applicable Law or any other agreement, and this Agreement shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 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. If the obligations of Performance Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable in any action or proceeding on account of the amount of Performance Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Performance Guarantor or any Beneficiary, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.
Section 9. Expenses. Performance Guarantor agrees to pay on demand:
(a) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Beneficiary in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any amendment, restatement or supplement of, or consent or waivers under, this Agreement (whether or not consummated), enforcement of, or any actual or claimed breach of, or claim under, this Agreement, including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection therewith and all accountants’, auditors’, consultants’ and other agents’ reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or in advising such Persons as to their respective rights and remedies under any of the Transaction Documents; and
(b) all stamp and other similar Taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, and agrees
9 | ||
to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of the other Beneficiaries for such Taxes and fees, within ten days after demand therefor.
Section 10. Indemnities by Performance Guarantor. Without limiting any other rights which any Beneficiary may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, Performance Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Beneficiary and each of their respective Affiliates, and all successors, transferees, participants and assigns and all officers, members, managers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each a “PG Indemnified Party”) forthwith and on demand from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses (including all filing fees, if any), including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) incurred by any of them and arising out of, relating to, resulting from or in connection with: (i) any breach by Performance Guarantor of any of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity; (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Performance Guarantor hereunder, under any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity or in any certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or to any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity; (iii) the failure of any information provided to any such PG Indemnified Party by, or on behalf of, Performance Guarantor, in any capacity, to be true and correct; (iv) the material misstatement of fact or the omission of a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained in any information provided to any such PG Indemnified Party by, or on behalf of, Performance Guarantor, in any capacity, not materially misleading; (v) any negligence or misconduct on Performance Guarantor’s part arising out of, relating to, in connection with, or affecting any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (vi) the failure by Performance Guarantor to comply with any Applicable Law, rule or regulation with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity, the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise or (vii) the failure of this Agreement to constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Performance Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, Indemnified Amounts shall be excluded solely to the extent (x) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such PG Indemnified Party or any material breach of the obligations of such PG Indemnified Party under the Transaction Documents and (y) they constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Receivable by reason of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor.

All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile and email communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by express mail or nationally recognized overnight courier or by certified mail, first-class postage prepaid, or by facsimile, to the intended party at the address, facsimile number or email address of such party set forth in Schedule A of this Agreement or at such other address, facsimile number or email address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.
