This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the date hereof, that certain Sale and Contribution Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2024 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Prior SCA”). Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement (as defined below) in accordance with their terms, the terms and provisions of the Prior SCA shall, subject to this paragraph, be superseded and replaced by the terms and provisions of this Agreement in their entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) all indemnification obligations, obligations to pay costs and expenses and other obligations of the Transferor under the Prior SCA shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Prior SCA and nothing contained in this amendment and restatement shall constitute payment of, or impair or limit cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect of, any of such obligations, liabilities or indemnifications evidenced by or arising under the Prior SCA, (b) all sales of Receivables and Related Rights under the Prior SCA by the Transferor to the Transferee are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Prior SCA and (c) the liens and security interests granted by the Transferor pursuant to Section 8.14 of the Prior SCA shall not in any manner be impaired, limited or terminated and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the Prior SCA as security for all obligations of the Transferor under the Prior SCA and all obligations of Originator under this Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Prior SCA in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, unless expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed and or delivered in connection with the Prior SCA. For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND RELATED MATTERS

SECTION 1.1 Defined Terms. In this Agreement, unless otherwise specified: (a) capitalized terms are used as defined in (or by reference in) Article I of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) among Transferee, as Seller, Audacy Operations, as Servicer, the investors party thereto from time to time, and DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt Am Main (“DZ Bank”), as Agent, and (b) as used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms have the meanings indicated below:

“Records” means all Contracts and other documents, instruments, books, records, purchase orders, agreements, reports and other information (including computer programs, tapes, disks, other information storage media, data processing software and related property and rights) prepared or maintained by any Audacy Party with respect to, or that evidence or relate to, the Pool Receivables, the Related Rights, any other Support Assets, the Obligors of such Pool Receivables or the origination, collection or servicing of any of the foregoing.

“Related Rights” means (a) all rights to, but not any obligations under, all Related Security with respect to the Receivables, (b) all Records (but excluding any obligations or liabilities under the Contracts), (c) all Collections in respect of, and other proceeds of, the Receivables or any other Related Security and (d) all products and proceeds of any of the foregoing.

“Sale Termination Date” means, with respect to the Transferor, the date that Receivables and Related Rights cease being sold or contributed, as applicable, to the Transferee under this Agreement pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement.

“Sale Termination Event” means the occurrence of any of the following events or occurrences with respect to the Transferor:

(a) the Transferor shall fail to make when due any payment or deposit or transfer any monies to be made by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document as and when due and such failure is not remedied within three (3) Business Days;

(b) any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by the Transferor under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall prove to have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or deemed made unless such representation or warranty, if capable of being cured, is cured within fifteen (15) days after (i) a Responsible Officer of the Transferor has knowledge thereof or (ii) the Transferor receives notice thereof, whichever occurs earlier; provided that any representation made or deemed made with respect to any Pool Receivable that shall prove to have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or deemed made shall not cause a Sale Termination Event hereunder if, after excluding such Pool Receivable from the Net Eligible Receivables Balance, no Capital Coverage Deficit exists, or, to the extent such Capital Coverage Deficit exists, it is cured within two (2) Business Days;

(c) the Transferor shall fail to perform or observe in any material respect, any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and such failure, solely to the extent capable of cure, shall continue unremedied for 30 days after (1) a Responsible Officer of the Transferor has knowledge thereof or (2) the Transferor receives notice thereof, whichever occurs earlier. For avoidance of doubt, the covenants contained in Section 5.3 (Negative Covenants) shall not be deemed incapable of cure solely due to being negative covenants; or

ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Transferor hereby sells or contributes, as applicable, to the Transferee, and the Transferee hereby purchases or acquires from the Transferor, as applicable, all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Rights, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, acquired or originated.

SECTION 2.2 Timing of Purchases. All of the Receivables and the Related Rights existing immediately after the opening of the Transferor’s business on the Closing Date (including each Receivable and Related Right sold, or purportedly sold, to the Transferor by the Originators pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement) are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to the Transferee on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. On and after the Closing Date until the Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and Related Right (including each Receivable and Related Right sold, or purportedly sold, to the Transferor by the Originators pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement) shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed to the Transferee immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation or acquisition of such Receivable by the Transferor. In respect of (i) purchases on the Closing Date, the Transferee shall pay the Transferor the applicable cash Purchase Price for the Receivables and the Related Rights within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date in immediately available funds and (ii) purchases of Receivables originated on or after the Closing Date and the Related Rights, the Transferee shall pay the Transferor the applicable cash Purchase Price on such day; provided, however, in the case of clause (i) and clause (ii), to the extent that the Transferee does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash, the Transferor shall contribute to the Transferee the Receivables and Related Rights (or portions thereof) allocable to the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price as provided in Section 2.3(d) below. The Related Rights with respect to each Receivable shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Receivable, whether such Related Rights exist at such time or arise, are acquired or are originated thereafter.

SECTION 2.3 Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Receivables and the Related Rights shall equal the fair market value of the Receivables and the Related Rights as agreed by the Transferor and the Transferee at the time of purchase or acquisition. The Purchase Price shall not be adjusted or modified after the applicable purchase date.

(b) On the Closing Date, the Transferor shall contribute Receivables and the Related Rights to the Transferee as a capital contribution.

(c) The Transferee shall pay the Transferor the Purchase Price with respect to each non-contributed Receivable and the Related Rights purchased from the Transferor on the date of purchase thereof as set forth above by transfer of funds, to the extent that the Transferee has funds available for that purpose after satisfying the Transferee’s obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and such payment is not prohibited under the Transaction Documents.

(d) To the extent the Transferee does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash, the Transferor shall treat the Receivables and Related Rights (or portions thereof) allocable to the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price as having been irrevocably transferred by the Transferor to the Transferee as a capital contribution in return for an increase in the value of the Transferor’s interest in the Capital Stock of the Transferee. Any such capital contribution of Receivables and Related Rights by the Transferor to the Transferee shall occur automatically without further action or notice by any Person. The Transferor may also, at its option in its sole discretion, contribute cash to the Transferee in return for an increase in the value of the Transferor’s interest in the Capital Stock of the Transferee. The Transferee shall, and hereby does, accept all such capital contributions of Receivables, Related Rights and cash made by the Transferor from time to time, and no further notice or acceptance of any such capital contribution shall be necessary. The Transferor and the Transferee (or the Servicer on their behalf) shall each record on its respective books and records any capital contribution made by the Transferor to the Transferee promptly following its occurrence; provided that no failure to make or maintain such records or any inaccuracy therein shall derogate from the Transferee’s and its assigns’ right, title or interest in the Receivables, Related Rights or cash contributed by the Transferee to the Transferor.

(e) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Transferor has received payment in full of the aggregate Purchase Price due from the Transferee under the Prior SCA for all sales of Receivables and Related Rights occurring thereunder prior to the date hereof in accordance with the terms of the Prior SCA.

SECTION 2.4 No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the purchase and sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables and Related Rights under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Transferor. It is the express intent of the Transferor and the Transferee that each conveyance by the Transferor to the Transferee pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables and the Related Rights, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as an absolute, irrevocable, valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by the Transferor to the Transferee (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of the Transferor), providing the Transferee with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Receivables and Related Rights (such that the Receivables and the Related Rights would not be property of the Transferor’s estate in the event of the Transferor’s bankruptcy) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Transferee be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, investors and any Person claiming through the Transferor, and intend to treat each such conveyance as a “true sale” or “true contribution”, as applicable, for all purposes under applicable law and accounting principles.

None of the Transferee, the Agent, the Investors or the other Affected Persons shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivables or Related Rights, nor shall the Transferee, the Agent, any Investor or the other Affected Persons have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of the Transferor (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of the Transferor under any Receivables or Related Rights).

ARTICLE III

(d) The Transferor hereby grants to the Transferee and to the Agent, as assignee of the Transferee, an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take or cause to be taken in the name of the Transferee or the Transferor, as the case may be, any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate, enforce, or otherwise realize on any checks, instruments or other proceeds of the Receivables or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Transferee or the Transferor or transmitted or received by the Transferee or the Transferor in connection with any Receivable and any Related Rights (including under the related Records).

(i) the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable originated by the Transferor is: (A) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any discount, dispute, refunds, netting, rebates or any adjustment or otherwise by any Audacy Party or any Affiliate thereof (other than cash Collections on account of the Receivables), (B) reduced as a result of converting such Receivable to an Excluded Receivable, (C) reduced as a result of applying any Deposit Balance or (D) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction) or any netting by any Person; or

SECTION 3.3 Actions Evidencing Purchases. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Transferor (or the Servicer, on behalf of the Transferor) shall take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that there shall be placed on each data processing report that it generates that is provided to a proposed investor or lender to evaluate the Receivables, a legend evidencing that the Pool Receivables have been transferred to the Transferee in accordance with this Agreement and neither the Transferor nor the Servicer shall change or remove such legend without the consent of the Transferee and the Agent, as its assignee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). In addition, the Transferor agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Transferee or the Agent, as its assignee, may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the purchases, sales and contributions hereunder, or to enable the Transferee or the Agent, as its assignee, to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights with respect to the Receivables and the Related Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Transferor will upon the

request of the Transferee or its designee: (i) authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect the interests of the Transferee and the Agent, as its assignee, in the Receivables and the Related Rights; and (ii) upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, mark conspicuously each Contract (or the Transferor’s records with respect to such Contract) relating to each Receivable with a legend, reasonably acceptable to the Transferee and the Agent, as its assignee, evidencing that the related Receivables have been sold or contributed in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) The Transferor hereby authorizes the Transferee or its designee (i) to file in the name of the Transferor one or more financing statements, and amendments thereto, continuations thereof and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing or hereafter arising and (ii) to the extent permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to notify Obligors of the assignment of the Receivables and the Related Rights.

(c) Without limiting the generality of subsection (a), the Transferor shall authorize and deliver and file or cause to be filed appropriate continuation statements, not earlier than six months and not later than the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statements filed in connection with the Closing Date or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, if the Final Payout Date shall not have occurred.

SECTION 3.4 Application of Collections. Except as provided in Section 3.01(e)(i) or (ii) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor designated by such Obligor for application of such payment; provided, that if such Obligor has not designated the Receivable to which such payment shall be applied, the Servicer shall ask such Obligor to designate the Receivable to which it shall be applied and shall hold such Collections separately for the account of such Obligor until such Obligor designates the Receivable(s) to which such payment shall be applied; provided, further, that if the manner of application of any such payment is not specified by the related Obligor in accordance with the preceding sentence and is not required by Applicable Law or by the underlying Contract, and Servicer determines to apply such payment, then Servicer shall apply such payment, unless the Transferee instructs otherwise, be applied: first, as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor, with such Receivables being paid in the order of the oldest first, and, second, to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

(k) Quality of Title. Prior to its sale or contribution to the Transferee hereunder, each Receivable originated or acquired by the Transferor, together with the Related Rights, is owned by the Transferor free and clear of any Adverse Claim. When the Transferee purchases or acquires by contribution such Receivable and Related Rights and all Collections and proceeds if any of the foregoing, the Transferee shall have acquired legal and equitable title to such Receivable, for fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value (and the Transferor represents and warrants that it has taken all steps

The Transferor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements filed against itself that include a description of collateral covering the Support Assets other than any financing statement (i) in favor of the Agent or (ii) that has been terminated or will be terminated on the Closing Date. The Transferor is not aware of any judgment lien, ERISA lien or tax lien filings against itself, other than Permitted Liens.

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 8.8 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF TRANSFEREE IN THE RECEIVABLES OR RELATED RIGHTS IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

SECTION 8.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT A JURY.

SECTION 8.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:

(a) IT IRREVOCABLY (i) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION, FIRST, OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT, AND SECOND, IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION IS NOT AVAILABLE, OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT, IN EITHER CASE SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, (ii) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED ONLY IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT AND NOT IN ANY OTHER COURT, AND (iii) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

(b) TO THE EXTENT THAT IT HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM THE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID TO EXECUTION, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 8.11 Confidentiality. Each party hereto agrees to comply with, and be bound by, the confidentiality provisions of Section 13.06 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement as if they were set forth herein mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 8.12 No Proceedings. The Transferor agrees, for the benefit of the parties to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that it will not institute against Transferee, or join any other Person in instituting against Transferee, any proceeding of a type referred to in the definition of Event of Bankruptcy from the Closing Date until one year and one day after the Final Payout Date. In addition, all amounts payable by Transferee to the Transferor pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable solely from funds available for that purpose (after Transferee has satisfied all obligations then due and owing under the Receivables Purchase Agreement).

SECTION 8.13 No Recourse Against Other Parties. No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of Transferee contained in this Agreement shall be had against any stockholder, employee, officer, director, member, manager incorporator or organizer of Transferee.

SECTION 8.14 Grant of Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables, the Related Rights and all the proceeds of all of the foregoing to Transferee pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute an absolute and irrevocable purchase and sale or capital contribution, as applicable, and not a loan or pledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transferor does hereby grant to Transferee a security interest to secure the Transferor’s obligations hereunder in all of the Transferor’s now or hereafter existing right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables, the Related Rights and all the proceeds of all of the foregoing and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under Applicable Law. Such security interest is granted in order to provide that, in the event that the conveyance by the Transferor to the Transferee is characterized as a secured loan rather than a sale or capital contribution, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, the Transferee receives a substantially equivalent benefit.

SECTION 8.15 Binding Terms in Other Transaction Documents. The Transferor hereby makes for the benefit of Program Support Provider, Agent, each Investor, each other Secured Party, each of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements, and accepts all other binding terms, including the waiver of any rights, which are made applicable to the Transferor in any other Transaction Document by the express terms thereof, each as if the same (together with any provisions incorporated therein by reference) were set forth in full herein.

SECTION 8.16 Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
