If the Trustee or the Company requires, the Holder must supply an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge for its reasonable expenses in replacing a Note.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes the Trustee has authenticated except those it has cancelled, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that a bona fide purchaser holds the replaced Note. If the entire principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued interest on, any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. Subject to Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any Affiliate of the Company holds such Note.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though they are not outstanding; provided, however, that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that the Company or any Affiliate of the Company offers to purchase or acquires pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or otherwise shall not be deemed to be owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company until legal title to such Notes passes to the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order signed by two Officers of the Company, shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, any co-registrar, the Paying Agent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, replacement, payment (including all Notes called for redemption and all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to an Offer) or cancellation, and the Trustee shall cancel all such Notes and shall destroy all cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) and deliver a certificate of their destruction to the Company unless, by written order signed by two Officers of the Company, the Company shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace any Notes that have been cancelled by the Trustee or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acquires any Notes (other than by redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 or an Offer pursuant to Section 4.13 or 4.14), such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until such Notes are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and Section 4.01. The Company shall, with the Trustee’s consent, fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date. At least 5 days before the special record date, the Company (or, at the request of the Company, the Trustee in the name of, and at the expense of, the Company) shall deliver a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.

Section 2.13. Record Date. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Section or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 2.14. CUSIP Number. A “CUSIP” number will be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption, purchase or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number.

Section 2.15. Additional Notes. The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.07), without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture Additional Notes having terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A substantially identical to those of other Notes, except that Additional Notes:

(i) may have a different issue date and/or CUSIP number from other Notes;

(ii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date after issuance than is payable on other Notes;

(iii) may have terms specified in the Additional Note Board Resolution or Additional Note Supplemental Indenture for such Additional Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article II and Exhibit A (and related definitions) applicable to such Additional Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any outstanding Notes (other than such Additional Notes); and

(iv) may be entitled to liquidated damages not applicable to other outstanding Notes and may not be entitled to such liquidated damages applicable to other outstanding Notes.

Any Additional Notes issued after this offering will be secured by the Collateral, equally and ratably with the Notes.

REDEMPTIONS AND OFFERS TO PURCHASE

Section 3.01. Redemption Provisions.

(a) Except as set forth below and in Section 3.01(b) and 3.01(c), the Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to July 15, 2026. On and after such date, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Notes) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of the years indicated below.

Year	Percentage
2026		105.250	%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to July 15, 2026, the Company may, at its option, use the net proceeds of one or more Equity Issuances at any time and from time to time, to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) originally issued at a redemption price equal to 110.500% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued on the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption.

At any time prior to July 15, 2026, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) during any twelve-month period at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption.

(b) At any time prior to July 15, 2026, the Notes may be redeemed at any time and from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make Whole Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(c) In addition, in connection with any Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such offer and the Company, or any third party making such offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right upon notice given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such offer plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but not including, the date of such redemption.

“Make Whole Premium” means with respect to a Note at any redemption date, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note or (ii) the excess of (A) the present value of (1) the redemption price of such Note at July 15, 2026 (such redemption price being set forth in the table in Section 3.01(a)) plus (2) all required interest payments due on such Note through July 15, 2026, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Note.

“Treasury Rate” means the weekly average rounded to the nearest 1/100th of a percentage point (for the most recently completed week for which such information is available as of the date that is two Business Days prior to the redemption date) of the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H. 15 with respect to each applicable day during such week or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source or similar market data) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2026; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2026 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which such a yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to July 15, 2026 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

Section 3.02. Notice to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a), Section 3.01(b) or Section 3.01(c), it shall furnish to the Trustee, (i) at least five days (or such shorter period as the Trustee consents to in its sole judgment) but not more than 60 days before notice of a redemption is to be delivered to Holders, an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company is redeeming Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a), Section 3.01(b) or Section 3.01(c), as the case may be, the date notice of redemption is to be delivered to Holders, the redemption date, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption price for such Notes, any calculations pursuant to Section 3.01(a), (b) or (c), the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes as of the redemption date and, if applicable, the manner in which Notes are to be selected for redemption, in accordance with Section 3.03, if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed.

If fewer than all Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer are to be purchased, the Trustee shall, on behalf of the Company, select on or prior to the purchase date for such Offer the Notes to be purchased. The Trustee shall select for redemption or purchase Notes or portions of Notes in integral multiples of $1,000. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or tendered pursuant to an Offer also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or tendered pursuant to an Offer. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption or selected for purchase. The Company shall notify the Trustee of its acceptance for payment of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase.

(b) Notice of any redemption of the Notes may be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a transaction (including, without limitation, an Equity Issuance, an incurrence of Indebtedness or a Change of Control Repurchase Event), at the Company’s discretion. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or, for the avoidance of doubt, waived), or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or, for the avoidance of doubt, waived) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed without requiring an additional advance notice. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

(c) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall (at the Company’s expense) give the notice of any redemption to Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the date of any optional redemption and at least 5 days prior to the date that notice of such redemption is to be delivered to Holders (or, in either case, such shorter period as the Trustee consents to in its sole judgment) an Officers’ Certificate that (i) requests the Trustee to give notice of the redemption to Holders, (ii) sets forth the information to be provided to Holders in the notice of redemption, in accordance with Section 3.04(a) and 3.04(b), and (iii) sets forth the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the redemption date. If the Trustee is not a Registrar, the Company shall, concurrently with any such request, cause the Registrar to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely) setting forth the name of, the address of, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by, each Holder; provided further that any such Officers’ Certificate may be delivered to the Trustee on a date later than permitted under this Section 3.04(c) if such later date is acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 3.05. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Except if such redemption would violate the terms of any Senior Credit Facilities and subject to 3.04(b), once notice of redemption is delivered, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the price set forth in the Note.

Section 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price.

(a) On or prior to any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall return to the Company, no later than five days after any redemption date, any money (including accrued interest) that exceeds the amount necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes redeemed.

(b) If the Company complies with Section 3.06(a), interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Notes on the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business of such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 3.06(a), to the extent lawful, the Company shall pay interest (including interest accruing on or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization of the Company, regardless of whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such proceedings) on the overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest from the redemption date until such principal, premium and interest are paid, at a rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes compounded semi-annually as provided in the Notes and Section 4.01.

Section 3.07. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the Company’s expense a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment (including by operation of or as a result of an LLC Division), unless at the time of and immediately after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment (with the value of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a board resolution), (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof, (ii) the Company could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.07(a) and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made after June 30, 2020 shall not exceed the sum of (without duplication) (a) $2,000,000,000, (b) an amount equal to the Company’s Cumulative Operating Cash Flow less 1.4 times the Company’s Cumulative Consolidated Interest Expense, (c) the aggregate amount of all net proceeds (including the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Company, of property other than cash) received after June 30, 2020 by the Company from (x) the issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock or Designated Preferred Stock) to the extent that such proceeds are not used to redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire Capital Stock or any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 4.05(b) or (y) Indebtedness of the Company issued since June 30, 2020, (other than to Subsidiaries) that have been converted into Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock or Designated Preferred Stock), (d) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after June 30, 2020, 100% of the fair market value of such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation, (e) the aggregate amount returned in cash or Cash Equivalents with respect of Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made after June 30, 2020, whether through interest payments, principal payments, dividends, return of capital or other distributions and (f) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment for cash (in whole or in part), which Investment constituted a Restricted Payment made after June 30, 2020, an amount equal to the return of capital (to the extent of cash received) with respect to such Investment, reduced (but not below zero) by the excess, if any, of the cost of the disposition of such Investment over the gain, if any, realized by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such disposition.

Section 4.14. Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale (including by operation of or as a result of an LLC Division) unless (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (determined by the Company in good faith, as of the date the Company enters into a definitive agreement relating to such Asset Sale) of the assets or other property sold or disposed of in the Asset Sale and (ii) except (x) in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap or (y) if such Asset Sale has a purchase price of less than the greater of $220.0 million and 2.0% of Consolidated Total Assets, at least 75% of such consideration is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or assets used or useful in the business of the Company; provided that for purposes of this covenant “cash” shall include (A) the amount of any liabilities (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) that are assumed by the transferee in connection with such assets or other property in such Asset Sale (and excluding any liabilities that are incurred in connection with or in anticipation of such Asset Sale), but only to the extent that there is no further recourse to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such liabilities and (B) any Designated Noncash Consideration having an aggregate fair market value that, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration previously received and then outstanding, does not exceed the greater of $330.0 million and 3.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, (a) all or a portion of the consideration in connection with any such Asset Sale may consist of all or substantially all of the assets or a majority of the Voting Stock of an existing television business, franchise or Station (whether existing as a separate entity, subsidiary, division, unit or otherwise) or any related business used or useful in the Company’s business and (b) the Company may, and may permit its Subsidiaries to, issue shares of Capital Stock in a Qualified Joint Venture to a Qualified Joint Venture Partner without regard to clause (ii) above; provided that, in the case of any of clause (a) or (b) of this sentence after giving effect to any such Asset Sale and related acquisition of assets or Voting Stock, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and (y) the Net Proceeds of any such Asset Sale, if any, are applied in accordance with this Section 4.14.

(b) Within 365 days after any Asset Sale (or such shorter period as the Company in its sole election may determine), the Company may elect to apply or cause to be applied an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale to (i) repay either (A) Credit Agreement Obligations or (B) other First Lien Obligations (and if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that in the case of any repayment pursuant to this clause (b), the Company shall make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase a pro rata (together with any First Lien Obligations repaid pursuant to this clause (b)) principal amount of the Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of repayment, (ii) make an investment in, or acquire assets related to or otherwise useful in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date and/or (iii) to make capital expenditures in or that are used or useful in the business or to make capital expenditures for maintenance, repair or improvement of existing assets in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale not applied or invested as provided in clauses (i) through (iii) within 365 days (or such shorter period as the Company in its sole election may determine) of such Asset Sale will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds” on the 366th day after such Asset Sale (or, for the avoidance of doubt, on the day after such shorter application or investment period as the Company in its sole election may determine); provided that in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment; provided, further, that if such commitment is later terminated or cancelled prior to the application of such Net Proceeds or such Net Proceeds are not so applied within such 180-day period, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

-60-

(c) In no event later than 20 Business Days after any date (an “Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date”) that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $75.0 million (or such lesser amount as the Company shall determine), the Company shall commence an offer to purchase to all Holders of Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”) at a price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase and to all holders of other First Lien Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to asset sales, in each case, equal to the Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other First Lien Obligations tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Company or its agent shall select the other First Lien Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis, by lot or such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate or, in the event the Notes are in global form, as prescribed by DTC. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after completion of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use the remaining amount for general corporate purposes and such amount shall no longer constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

(d) In connection with an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall deliver to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address or, if the Notes are in global form, delivered to DTC through customary procedures, a notice stating: (i) that an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date has occurred and that the Company is offering to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (and identifying other Indebtedness, if any, that is entitled to participate pro rata in the Asset Sale Offer), at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date”), which shall be a Business Day, specified in such notice, that is not earlier than 30 days or later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid interest as of the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, (iii) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest, (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price for the Notes payable pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, (v) the procedures, consistent with this Indenture, to be followed by a Holder of Notes in order to accept an Asset Sale Offer or to withdraw such acceptance and (vi) such other information as may be required by this Indenture and applicable laws and regulations.

-61-

(e) On the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, the Company will (i) accept for payment the maximum principal amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer that can be purchased out of Excess Proceeds from such Asset Sale, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent the aggregate purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment and any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes as of the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all Notes tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. If less than all Notes tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer are accepted for payment by the Company for any reason consistent with this Indenture, selection of the Notes to be purchased by the Company shall be in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC if the Notes are represented by Global Notes); provided that Notes accepted for payment in part shall only be purchased in integral multiples of $1,000. The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment an amount equal to the purchase price for such Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver to such Holder of Notes accepted for payment in part a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes, and any Note not accepted for payment in whole or in part shall be promptly returned to the Holder of such Note. On and after an Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price therefor. The Company will announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer to Holders of the Notes on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date.

(f) The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and all other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with any Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale Offer provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Asset Sale Offer provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.15. Future Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a) The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than any Foreign Subsidiary or any Securitization Subsidiary) formed (including by operation of or as a result of an LLC Division) or acquired after the date of this Indenture that directly or indirectly assumes, becomes a borrower under, guarantees or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Credit Agreement within 30 days after such obligation arises to issue a Subsidiary Guarantee and execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary thereby becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor which shall be bound by the guarantee of the Notes in the form set forth in this Indenture and execute and deliver joinders to the Notes Security Documents or new Notes Security Documents together with any other filings and amendments required by the Notes Security Documents to create or perfect the security interests for the benefit of the holders of the Notes in the Collateral of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the foregoing shall not apply if Acquired Debt incurred under Section 4.07(ix)(c) shall prohibit such Subsidiary Guarantee, but only for so long as such Acquired Debt prohibits such Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 4.16. Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company may designate any Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date; provided that the Company could make a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in an amount equal to the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 4.05 and such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment for the purpose of calculating the amount available under Section 4.05.

An Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary if (i) all the Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred under Section 4.07 and (ii) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary subsequently sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Material Intellectual Property, Material FCC License or any other assets owned by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary that is material to the business operations, assets, financial condition or prospects of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (in each case, whether pursuant to a sale, lease, license, transfer, Investment, Restricted Payment, dividend or otherwise or relating to the exclusive rights thereto) to any Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that in no event shall this sentence prohibit the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from (i) selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of cash or Cash Equivalents to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture or (ii) entering into non-exclusive licensing arrangements.

-62-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company (i) will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to make any dividend or other distribution declared or paid on any Capital Stock of such Unrestricted Subsidiary on a greater than pro rata basis to any holder of the Capital Stock of such Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than to the extent any of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary receive a greater than pro rata share of such dividend or other distribution) and (ii) shall cause its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than the Receivables SPV) to dividend or otherwise distribute, at such times as may be determined in good faith by the Company, to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, if applicable, to any other holders of the Capital Stock of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries on a not greater than pro rata basis) any cash or Cash Equivalents (whether generated from operations, asset sales or otherwise) of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that are not, in the good faith determination of the Company, reasonably necessary for bona fide business purposes of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.17. Further Assurances

. The Company will, and will cause each of its existing and future Restricted Subsidiaries to, at their expense, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further agreements, documents and instruments and do or cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary and proper to:

(i) Effectuate the purposes of this Indenture and;

(ii) Ensure the protection and enforcement of any of the rights granted or intended to be granted to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent under any other instrument executed in connection therewith.

Section 4.18. Suspension of Covenants.

(a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Status and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Section 4.05 hereof, Section 4.07 hereof, Section 4.08 hereof, Section 4.11 hereof, Section 4.14 hereof, Section 4.15 hereof and clause (iv)(a) of Section 5.01 hereof (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) If at any time the Notes thereafter cease to have Investment Grade Status, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reversion Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain Investment Grade Status (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Status); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reversion Date, if any, is referred to as the “Suspension Period”.

-63-

(c) On the Reversion Date, if any, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.07(b)(xi) and the amount of Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be reset at zero. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.05 will be made as though the covenants described under Section 4.05 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.05 or reduce amounts available to be made as Permitted Investments. In addition, any obligation to grant additional Guarantees of the Notes shall be suspended during the Suspension Period. All such further obligations to grant additional Guarantees of the Notes shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date.

Section 4.19. After Acquired Assets. Upon the acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor after the Issue Date of any assets (other than Excluded Assets), the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver with regard to any after-acquired property that qualifies as Collateral, as are required under (and within the time frames set forth in) this Indenture or the Notes Security Documents and subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any information, documentation, financing statements or other certificates as may be necessary to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent for the Holders of the Notes a perfected security interest, with the priority required by this Indenture and the Notes Security Documents, subject only to Permitted Liens and certain other exceptions set forth in this Indenture and the Notes Security Documents relating to the Notes, in such after-acquired property and to have such after-acquired property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture and the Notes Security Documents relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect. If the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor creates or perfects any additional security interest upon any property or assets to secure any First Lien Obligations, it must concurrently grant and perfect a security interest upon such property as security for the Notes. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor will also deliver security documents granting a lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent on the Equity Interests of first tier Foreign Subsidiaries to the extent the same has been delivered to the Credit Agreement Agent pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement on substantially the same terms and with the same priority (subject to applicable local law) (i) with respect to any such security documents entered into prior to the Issue Date, on the Issue Date or within 120 days thereafter and (ii) with respect to any such security documents entered into after the Issue Date, on the date the same has been delivered to the Credit Agreement Agent.

(d) If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company has initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in the preceding paragraphs (c) and (d) to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing paragraphs shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified under Section 6.01(a)(vii) or (viii) with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that together constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of an Event of Default arising from the events specified in Sections 6.01(a)(vii) or (viii) with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that together constitute a Significant Subsidiary, the principal of, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without further action or notice.

-68-

(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind any declaration of acceleration of such Notes and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes which shall have become due by such declaration) shall have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except (i) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of Notes affected), or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefore shall deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority of Holders. Subject to Section 7.01(e), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it by this Indenture. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06. Limitation of Suits by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture, except as provided herein.

-69-

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, a Note, on or after its Stated Maturity, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for (i) the principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes, (ii) interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest, and (iii) such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (“Trustee Expenses”).

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for Trustee Expenses and for amounts due under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute to Holders any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and each Holder authorizes any Custodian in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and if the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders any such Custodian is hereby authorized to make such payments directly to the Holders, and to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it hereunder for Trustee Expenses, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be authorized to (i) consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or (ii) vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To the extent that the payment of any such Trustee Expenses, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Section 6.10. Priorities. Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI, and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

First: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee), the Notes Collateral Agent, each of their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

-70-

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs (and has not been cured) the Trustee shall (i) exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and (ii) use the same degree of care and skill in exercising such rights and powers as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether they conform to this Indenture’s requirements.

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee shall be subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

-71-

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may rely on any document it believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under this Indenture in good faith and in reliance on such advice or opinion.

(f) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (except any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 4.01, 6.01(a)(i) and 6.01(a)(ii)) unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless a written notice of such event is sent to the Trustee in accordance with Section 12.01, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee, or resign. Each Agent shall have the same rights as the Trustee under this Section 7.03.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for or make any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, and shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, neither shall be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes, any statement or recital in any document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication on the Notes.

-72-

Section 7.05. Notice to Holders of Defaults and Events of Default. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has notice of such Default or Event of Default as described in Section 7.02(f), the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs; provided, however, that in any event the Trustee shall not be required to deliver such notice prior to 10 days after a Trust Officer receiving such notice of Default or Event of Default as described in Section 7.02(f). Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment on any Note (including any failure to redeem Notes called for redemption or any failure to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer that are required to be purchased by the terms of this Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it determines in good faith that withholding such notice is in the Holders’ interests.

Section 7.06. [Reserved].

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services hereunder, as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. As mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee, the Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses it incurs or makes in addition to the compensation for its services. As mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee, such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include its officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents) against any and all claims, damage, losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by them arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder except to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense may be attributable to their negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which a Trust Officer has received notice and for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless the Company is unduly prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability the Trustee incurs as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

To secure the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal or interest, if any, on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such Lien shall constitute a Permitted Lien under this Indenture.

-73-

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vii) or (viii) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute administrative expenses under any Bankruptcy Law without any need to demonstrate substantial contribution under Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; (iii) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of performing the services of the Trustee hereunder.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee; provided that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace any successor Trustee appointed by Company.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its appointment to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property it holds as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the retiring Trustee’s benefit with respect to expenses and liabilities relating to the retiring Trustee’s activities prior to being replaced.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Xxxxxx, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times (i) be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, of any state thereof, or the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recently published annual report of condition.

-74-

Section 7.11. Limitation of Liability. In no event shall the Trustee, in its capacity as such or as Paying Agent or Registrar or in any other capacity hereunder, be liable under or in connection with this Indenture for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought. The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive satisfaction and discharge or the termination for any reason of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

ARTICLE VIII

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.

(a) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.06, this Indenture shall cease to be of any further effect as to all outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees after (i) either (a) all Notes heretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all Notes not previously delivered for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (z) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense of, the Company; and the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in trust an amount in Dollars or direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America (or by any agency thereof to the extent such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America), in each case, maturing prior to the date the Notes will have become due and payable, the Stated Maturity of the Notes or the relevant redemption date of the Notes, as the case may be, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest at maturity, Stated Maturity or redemption date, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with and that such satisfaction and discharge will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is a party or by which the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is bound.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c), 8.02, and 8.06, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes (including the Subsidiary Guarantees) (“Legal Defeasance Option”), or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16 and Article V (“Covenant Defeasance Option”). The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance Option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance Option.

If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance Option, the Events of Default shall be deemed eliminated and payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance Option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(iii) (with respect to the covenants described in the immediately preceding paragraph), (iv), (v) and (vi). If the Company exercises either its Legal Defeasance Option or its Covenant Defeasance Option or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 and upon the Company’s request (and at the Company’s expense), the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company has terminated.

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 8.01(a) and (b), the Company’s obligations under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 4.01, 4.04, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04, 8.05, and 8.06, and the obligations of the Trustee and the Paying Agent under Section 8.04 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations under Sections 7.07 and 8.05 and the obligations of the Company, Trustee and Paying Agent under Section 8.04 shall survive.

(d) The Collateral will be released automatically from the Lien securing the Notes, as provided under Section 10.02 and the Guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be released upon satisfaction and discharge in accordance with this Section 8.01.

Section 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance.

Section 8.05. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations.

Section 9.02. Amendments and Supplements Requiring Consent of Holders.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.04, 9.01(a) and 9.02(c), this Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).

-78-

(c) No such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby, (with respect to any Notes held by a nonconsenting holder): (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency or the manner in which the principal of any Note or any premium or the interest thereon is payable (for the avoidance of doubt excluding any waiver, elimination or modification of provisions relating to an offer to repurchase Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer), or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date); (ii) extend the time for payment of interest on the Notes; (iii) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any such Note or change the time at which such Note may be redeemed, in each case as described under Section 3.01 (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt (for purposes of all clauses herein), any change to advance notice provisions); (iv) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes, the consent of whose holders is required for any amended or supplemental indenture or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or any Default hereunder and the consequences provided for hereunder; (v) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to any amended or supplemental indentures requiring the consent of Holders or relating to the waiver of past defaults or relating to the waiver of any covenant, except to increase the percentage of outstanding Notes required for such actions or to provide that any other provision of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby; (vi) modify the ranking of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee (including subordinating, or having the effect of subordinating, the right of payment with respect to the Notes or the Liens securing the Obligations with respect to the Notes); or (vii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to each Holder affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

(a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same Indebtedness as the consenting Xxxxxx’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented to the amendment or waiver.

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Notes entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Notes at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Notes after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

(c) After an amendment or waiver becomes effective it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in Section 9.02(c), in which case the amendment or waiver shall only bind each Holder that consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

-79-

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05. Trustee Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Sections 12.02 and 12.03 as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms.

-80-

Section 10.02. Release of Liens on Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent's Liens on the Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties (and the Subsidiary Guarantees in the case of clauses (a) through (d) below) will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(a) in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Section 8.01;

(b) in whole, upon a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Section 8.02;

(f) in whole or in part, if the Credit Agreement Agent releases or will release its lien on such Collateral, concurrently therewith, unless such release occurs in connection with a discharge in full in cash of the Senior Credit Agreement, which discharge is not in connection with a foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, Collateral by the Credit Agreement Secured Parties;

-81-

Section 10.04. Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that any future Indebtedness is incurred that is secured by a Lien on a junior priority basis relative to the Lien securing the First Lien Obligations, a junior lien intercreditor agreement will be entered into (the “Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement”). The Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement will subordinate the Liens securing such future Indebtedness to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations with respect to all Collateral on the terms set forth in such intercreditor agreement. The form of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be determined by the Credit Agreement Agent (or if the Senior Credit Agreement has been terminated, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be in a form that the Company has determined in good faith is reasonably customary which shall provide for the subordination of the Liens securing Obligations on a junior priority basis relative to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and other intercreditor provisions with respect thereto as are reasonably customary in the good faith determination of the Company for intercreditor agreements governing the relationship between senior and junior priority Liens, in each case, as certified by the Company to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, in an Officer’s Certificate).

Section 10.05. Priority of Liens. The First Lien Intercreditor Agreement provides for the priorities and other relative rights among the holders of the First Lien Obligations notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any series of First Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral.

Section 10.06. Duties of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee.

(a) This Article X and the provisions of each other Notes Security Document (except as set forth herein) are subject to the terms, conditions and benefits set forth in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor consents to, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance therewith. Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance of the Notes (a) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent execute the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder.

(b) The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and each Holder of Notes, by their acceptance of any Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, (a) hereby appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Notes Collateral Agent, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association accepts such appointment and (b) agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, indemnities and benefits provided to the Trustee under Article VII hereof, including the compensation, reimbursement, and indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.07 hereof and the resignation and removal provisions of Section 7.08 hereof and the succession provisions of Section 7.09 hereof (with the references to the Trustee therein being deemed to refer to the Notes Collateral Agent).

(c) Except as provided in the Notes Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent will not be obligated to take any action which is discretionary in nature. In addition, neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be responsible for and make no representation as to the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Notes Security Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Liens securing the Notes. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Lien or security interest in the Collateral.

(d) Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to effect or maintain insurance or to renew any policies of insurance or to make any determination or inquire as to the sufficiency of any policies of insurance carried by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or to report, or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or damage insured against or that may occur, or to keep itself informed or advised as to the payment of any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made.

(d) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the actions or omissions of the Credit Agreement Agent or any other “Controlling Collateral Agent” under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement nor shall the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent be obligated at any time to indemnify any person in connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Notes Security Documents.

Section 10.07. Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the privileges, powers and immunities as set forth in this Indenture and the Notes Security Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture or the Notes Security Documents, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Notes Security Documents to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture or the Notes Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that the Notes Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral on behalf of and for the benefit of all of the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Notes Security Documents and that the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Notes Security Documents in respect of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Notes Security Documents and actions that may be taken thereunder. The Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(c) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder or under any Notes Security Documents to which it is a party, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct.

-83-

(d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to seek and shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Notes Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, if existing, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Except as otherwise provided in the Notes Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Notes Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, if existing, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders. If the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(e) Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Notes Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, if existing, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

(f) If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Notes Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article VII, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Notes Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Notes Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, if existing, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(g) The Notes Collateral Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession or control or any income thereon. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which they accord similar property held for its own benefit and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in value of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Notes Collateral Agent in good faith. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be permitted to use overnight carriers to transmit possessory collateral and shall be not liable for any items lost or damages in transmit.

The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such agreements and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Security Document Order.

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, to the extent lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes will be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. In the event that the Company fails to pay any amount guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors for any reason whatsoever, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay such amount immediately. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby further agree that their Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be unconditional, regardless of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce this Indenture or the Notes, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, any modification or amendment of, or supplement to, this Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce any such judgment, or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will not be discharged except by complete performance by the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor of such Obligations. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or a Custodian of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor any amount paid by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, to the extent previously discharged as a result of any such payment, be immediately reinstated and be in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantees notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes as provided in Article VI, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantees.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement and indemnity, and all other rights, that such Subsidiary Guarantor would have against the Company at any time as a result of any payment in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise).

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes or is required to make any payment in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled to seek contribution from the other Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided that each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any such claim for contribution that such Subsidiary Guarantor may have against any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations owed to Holders under or in respect of the Notes.

(d) Upon the sale or other transfer (including by way of consolidation or merger) of Capital Stock in such Subsidiary Guarantor or issuance of Capital Stock by such Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, or upon the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of consolidation or merger) to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of such Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released from all its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

(e) Upon the designation of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or upon such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor or obligor under the Senior Credit Agreement (other than a release as a result of the repayment in full of the Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released from all its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

(f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor without limitation. A Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to a corporation other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor (whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary Guarantor, but subject to the provisions described in Section 11.01(d)), provided that (a) if the Surviving Person is not the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Surviving Person agrees to assume such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and all its obligations under this Indenture and (b) such transaction does not (i) violate any covenants set forth in this Indenture or (ii) result in a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture immediately thereafter that is continuing.

(g) The Subsidiary Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released in connection with a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of this Indenture or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary, unless such Subsidiary Guarantor is also released from its obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be released from its obligations under the Notes unless (i) the transaction or transactions that caused such Subsidiary Guarantor to cease to be a Subsidiary are entered into for a bona fide business purpose (as determined in good faith by the Company) and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for the primary purpose of causing such release, (ii) the portion of Equity Interests that caused such Subsidiary Guarantor to cease to be a Subsidiary were not transferred to an Affiliate of the Company (other than for purposes of a bona fide joint venture arrangement on terms that are not less favorable than arm’s-length terms, as determined in good faith by the Company) and (iii) after giving pro forma effect to the applicable release, in the event the Company continues to retain an ownership interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person on the date of such release (as if such Person were not a Subsidiary Guarantor) in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the Company’s retained ownership interest in such Person and such Investment is permitted hereunder.

-88-

Section 11.02. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive each Subsidiary Guarantor from performing its Subsidiary Guarantee as contemplated herein or which might affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and Notes; and each such Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 11.03. Limits on Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantees shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor, result in the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantees not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.04. Execution of Subsidiary Guarantee. To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Article XI, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that the execution and delivery of this Indenture or a supplemental indenture hereto, as the case may be, executed on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of one Officer or other person duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of each Subsidiary Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action shall constitute its delivery of its Subsidiary Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Article XI shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. If an Officer of a Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a supplemental indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note or at any time thereafter, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee of such Note shall nevertheless be valid. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor

APPENDIX A

Provisions Relating to Initial Notes and Additional Notes

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture of which this Appendix A is a part.

2. The Securities.

2.1 Form and Dating. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof will be (i) offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) resold, initially only to (A) QIBs in reliance on Regulation D, (B) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S and (C) IAIs in reliance on Rule 501. Such Initial Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, QIBs, purchasers in reliance on Regulation S and, except as set forth below, IAIs in accordance with Rule 501.

(a) Global Notes. Rule 144A Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes in definitive, fully registered form (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Note”), Regulation S Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Note”) and IAI Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes in definitive, fully registered form (collectively, the “IAI Global Note”), in each case, without interest coupons and bearing the Global Notes Legend and Restricted Notes Legend, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Notes Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture. Beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall not be exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global Note, the IAI Global Note or any other Note without a Restricted Notes Legend until the expiration of the Restricted Period. The Rule 144A Global Note, the IAI Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note are each referred to herein as a “Global Note” and are collectively referred to herein as “Global Notes.” The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

(b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b) and pursuant to an order of the Company, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such Depositary and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions or held by the Trustee as Notes Custodian.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as Notes Custodian or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(c) Definitive Notes. Except as provided in Sections 2.3 and 2.4, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Notes.

2.2 Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers the (A) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 and (B) Additional Notes for original issue on a date subsequent to the Issue Date. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes.

2.3 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

(y) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(ii) are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(A) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note); or

(B) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note); or

(C) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i).

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with:

(i) certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Note) that such Definitive Note is being transferred (A) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (B) to an IAI that has furnished to the Trustee a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C or (C) outside the United States in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or another Global Note and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or the IAI Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in either the Regulation S Global Note or the Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in the IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trustee.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(iv) In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.4, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Note.

(i) Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream. During the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (A) to the Company, (B) so long as such security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (C) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (D) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under the Securities Act, (E) to an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of securities of $500,000 or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Note or the IAI Global Note shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Note to the effect that such transfer is being made to (i) a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (ii) an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of the Notes of $500,000. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Restricted Period. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trustee.

(ii) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture.

(e) Legend.

(i) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (ii), (iii) or (iv), each Note certificate evidencing the Global Notes and the Definitive Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (each defined term in the legend being defined as such for purposes of the legend only):

Gray Television, Inc., a Georgia corporation, (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year (or if any such day is not a Business Day on the next succeeding Business Day) commencing on January 15, 2025. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from June 3, 2024, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. Method of Payment

The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 and July 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to The Depository Trust Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

The Company initially appoints U.S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national association under the laws of the United States (the “Trustee”), as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a Registrar and/or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

4. Indenture

The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of June 3, 2024, (the “Indenture”), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Notes are senior obligations of the Company. This Note is one of the Initial Notes or Additional Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes.

The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the property of the Company.

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee the Obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

10. Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

11. Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

12. Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

13. Amendment, Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) and (ii) any existing Default or Event of Default or noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to: (i) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (iii) provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders in the event of any disposition involving the Company that is permitted under Article V of the Indenture in which the Company is not the Surviving Person; (iv) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to Holders or does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder; (v) comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) add additional Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Section 4.15 of the Indenture (which amendment does not require existing Subsidiary Guarantors to execute such amendment); (vii) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes as permitted by Section 2.15 of the Indenture; (viii) release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee when permitted by the Indenture (which amendment does not require existing Subsidiary Guarantors to execute such amendment); or (ix) conform the Indenture or the Notes to provisions of the “Description of Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent such provision was intended to be a substantially verbatim recitation thereof.

14. Defaults and Remedies

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified under Section 6.01(a)(vii) or (viii) of the Indenture with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of any Event of Default arising from the events specified in Section 6.01(a)(vii) or (viii) of the Indenture with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without further action or Notice. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it by the Indenture. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

15. Trustee Dealings with the Company

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee, or resign.

16. No Recourse Against Others

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Holder, by accepting a Note (including Subsidiary Guarantees), waives and releases such Persons from all such liability and such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

17. Authentication

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

18. Abbreviations

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

19. GOVERNING LAW

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

Gray Television, Inc.

In care of

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association

0 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000

Atlanta, Georgia 30328

Attention: Global Corporate Trust

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $______ principal amount of the 10.500% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) of Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”).

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

Name: ____________________________________

Address: __________________________________

Taxpayer ID Number: _________________________

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1 We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $500,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2 We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing the Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which Gray or any affiliate of Gray was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to Gray, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) in an offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $500,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to Gray and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that Gray and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to Gray and the Trustee.
