For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting the scope of the Obligations, Performance Guarantor shall have no obligation to guaranty any obligations of the Obligors under Contracts related to Pool Receivables.
(b) This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing undertaking of the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations under the Sale Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Administrative Agent first attempt to collect any payment Obligations from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in favor of any Covered Entity or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment in respect of any Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that (i) this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables, and Performance Guarantor shall not be responsible for any Obligations to the extent the failure to pay or perform such Obligations by any Covered Entity results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition resulting in the inability to pay in respect of an Obligor and (ii) the guaranteed Obligations do not include the payment or guaranty of any amounts to the extent such amounts constitute recourse with respect to a Receivable by reason of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor.

(i) The Performance Guarantor has all requisite power and authority, material Operating Agreements and Licenses to own and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted (it being recognized that certain Stations may, from time to time, operate pursuant to Special Temporary Authority granted by the FCC or may have pending FCC License renewal applications and, as a result, may be operating under such FCC Licenses pursuant to provisions of the Communications Laws that keep such FCC Licenses in effect until the FCC has taken final action on such renewal applications).

The Performance Guarantor has taken all material actions and performed all of its material obligations that are necessary to maintain all material Licenses without adverse modification or impairment. No event has occurred which (1) has resulted in, or after notice or lapse of time or both would reasonably be expected to result in, revocation, suspension, adverse modification, non-renewal, impairment, restriction or termination of, or any order of forfeiture with respect to, any material License or (2) materially and adversely affects or could reasonably be expected in the future to materially and adversely affect the rights of the Performance Guarantor thereunder.

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

Section 10. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Final Payout Date, Performance Guarantor (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Covered Entity to the claims of Administrative Agent and the Lenders against any Covered Entity and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any Covered Entity that arise from the existence or performance of Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (b) after the occurrence and continuance of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Covered Entity in respect of any liability of Performance Guarantor to such Covered Entity and (c) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The cash payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Covered Entity now or hereafter owed to Performance Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations in accordance with the following sentence. Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence and continuance of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Performance Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect cash payment of any such indebtedness of any Covered Entity to Performance Guarantor until the Final Payout Date. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, after the occurrence and continuance of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, Performance Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Performance Guarantor as trustee for Administrative Agent (and its assigns) and be paid over to Administrative Agent (or its assigns) on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Performance Guarantor under the other provisions of this Undertaking.
Section 11. Termination of Undertaking. Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until the Final Payout Date, provided that this Undertaking shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Covered Entity or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not Administrative Agent (or its assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.
Section 12. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of any Covered Entity and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Covered Entity under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the Federal Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Covered Entity or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which such Covered Entity is subject shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, receive a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made; provided that any payments to be made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be subject to compliance by such Person with Section 5.03(f) of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
Section 14. Indemnities by Performance Guarantor. Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors, assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each a “PG Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, Taxes, liabilities, costs, reasonable expenses and for all other amounts payable, including Attorney Costs in suits by parties to the Transaction Documents against one another and by third parties (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of: (i) any breach by Performance Guarantor of any of its obligations or duties under this Undertaking; (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Performance Guarantor hereunder or in any certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto; or (iii) the failure by Performance Guarantor to comply with any Applicable Law, rule or regulation with respect to this Undertaking, the transactions contemplated hereby, any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity, the Obligations or otherwise excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances:
