Section 1.2109), then NSM, the Company and its Subsidiaries will have all remedies available to them in law and in equity (including specific performance).

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 3.1. Mandatory Quarterly Distribution

The Class A Preferred Interests will accrue distributions during each Quarterly Distribution Period at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, calculated based on actual days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, on the then-current Face Amount of the Class A Preferred Interests. Distributions on the Class A Preferred Interests will be made on a mandatory basis each quarter. Each Class A Member on the applicable Quarterly Distribution Record Date shall be entitled to receive (regardless of whether such Class A Member remains a Class A Member of record on the applicable Quarterly Distribution Payment Date), distributions accrued to but excluding the applicable Quarterly Distribution Payment Date (“Mandatory Quarterly Distributions”), by 5:00 pm, New York City time, on such Quarterly Distribution Payment Date in respect of the Quarterly Distribution Period then ended. Any and all such Mandatory Quarterly Distributions may be paid either (i) in cash, (ii) by adding such amounts to the then-current Face Amount or (iii) in a combination of cash and additional Face Amount, and the method of payment will be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager. In the event that the Manager elects to pay all or part of any Mandatory Quarterly Distribution in cash, the Company shall request wire transfer instructions from each Class A Member as of the relevant Quarterly Distribution Record Date at least five (5) Business Days prior to the relevant Quarterly Distribution Payment Date. All such Mandatory Quarterly Distributions paid in cash shall be paid by wire transfer of funds legally available for the payment of distributions under Delaware law to the accounts designated by the Class A Members entitled to payment. Upon a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Liquidation Preference shall become due and payable to the Class A Members, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.1, Section 8.1 and Section 13.3(d)(i).

Section 3.2. Non‑Liquidating Distributions

(a) The Company may at any time, other than in connection with a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, and separately from and in addition to the Mandatory Quarterly Distributions and the distributions provided for in Section 3.2(b), declare and pay cash distributions to the Class A Members out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions under Delaware law (“Non-Liquidating Distributions”). The Company shall request wire transfer instructions from each Class A Member as of the relevant Non-Liquidating Distribution Record Date at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the Company sets for the payment of such Non-Liquidating Distributions. Non-Liquidating Distributions shall be made first, to the Class A Members as of the Non-Liquidating Distribution Record Date in respect of any unpaid

distributions under this Agreement with respect to their Class A Preferred Interests until all such unpaid distributions have been paid, second, to the Class A Members as of the Non-Liquidating Distribution Record Date in accordance with their Liquidation Preference until the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full and third, to the Class B Members as of the Non-Liquidating Distribution Record Date in proportion to their Class B Percentages. The Manager shall have the sole and absolute discretion to declare and pay any Non-Liquidating Distributions. For the avoidance of doubt, Mandatory Quarterly Distributions paid pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be mandatory and not subject to the Company’s discretion, except that the Manager shall have sole discretion on the method of payment.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2(a), within thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter other than the fiscal quarter in which the proceeds from a liquidation are distributed in accordance with Section 3.3, the Company shall make distributions to each Member in amounts that are at least sufficient to allow each Member to pay income tax obligations arising from their respective membership interests in the Company (the “Required Tax Amount”), which shall be calculated based on the Assumed Tax Rate. “Assumed Tax Rate” means the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate for a fiscal year prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York, (taking into account (a) the nondeductibility of expenses subject to the limitation described in Section 67(a) and Section 68 of the Code, (b) the character (e.g., long-term or short- term capital gain or ordinary or exempt income) of the applicable income, and (c) the extent to which state and local income taxes are deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes). For the avoidance of doubt, the Assumed Tax Rate will be the same for all Members and items of loss or deduction previously allocated to a Member and not taken into account in a manner that reduced tax distributions to such Member shall be taken into account in determining a Member’s income tax obligations arising from their respective membership interests in the Company for purposes of this provision. The total amount of such tax distributions shall not exceed the amount of Excess Cash then held by the Company (except that the Manager may, in its discretion, cause the License Company to borrow amounts available for such purpose under the Senior Credit Facility and cause the License Company to distribute such borrowed amounts to the Company, to enable the Company to make tax distributions hereunder); provided, further, that, in the event that the amount otherwise required to be distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) for such fiscal quarter, as estimated by the Manager, exceeds the amount of Excess Cash then held by the Company, such that the aggregate distributions made pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) with respect to such fiscal quarter are less than such amount otherwise required to be distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) for such fiscal quarter (such shortfall, the “Tax Shortfall Amount”), then the Company shall make initial tax distributions under this Section 3.2(b) to the members in proportion to their rights to tax distributions and shall make additional tax distributions in an aggregate amount equal to the Tax Shortfall Amount to the Members at such time as the Company holds sufficient Excess Cash to fund, in whole or in part, such remaining Tax Shortfall Amount (or portion thereof). Distributions to a Member under this Section 3.2(b) shall be treated as advances in respect of amounts subsequently distributable to such Member (or a successor to such Member)

under Section 3.1, Section 3.2(a), Section 13.3(d)(iii) and Section 13.3(d)(iv) and shall reduce such amounts on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Section 3.3. Liquidating Distributions

Subject to Section 6.3, distributions to the Members of cash or property in connection with a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event shall be made in accordance with Section 13.3.

Section 3.4. Interest Purchase Agreement, Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement

The parties hereto acknowledge that, effective as of the Effective Date, the License Company executed and delivered in favor of NSM a First Amended and Restated Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”), and on September 21, 2014 executed and delivered in favor of NSM a Security Agreement (the “NSM Security Agreement”) and a Pledge Agreement (the “NSM Pledge Agreement”). Within one (1) Business Day of the date upon which any Subsidiary of the License Company is formed, the Company shall cause the License Company to cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to NSM (a) a guarantee of the License Company's obligations under the Interest Purchase Agreement in the form attached as an exhibit to the Interest Purchase Agreement and (b) a security agreement supplement in the form attached as an exhibit to the NSM Security Agreement. In addition, within one (1) Business Day of the date upon which any Subsidiary of the License Company holding licenses is formed, the Company shall cause the License Company to take the actions required under the NSM Pledge Agreement to perfect NSM’s first priority Lien in the outstanding equity interests of such Subsidiary. The parties hereto also acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2, the License Company and its Subsidiaries may make payments to NSM in exchange for membership interests in the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Interest Purchase Agreement, the NSM Security Agreement and the NSM Pledge Agreement and such related Subsidiary guarantees and security agreement supplements when due, subject to the provisions of the Senior Credit Facility and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement. All such payments to NSM in respect of the obligations of the License Company and its Subsidiaries under the Interest Purchase Agreement or related guarantees, and all proceeds received by NSM in connection with its exercise of remedies under the NSM Security Agreement or related security agreement supplements, shall be credited against the obligations of the License Company and its Subsidiaries under the Interest Purchase Agreement and related guarantees, and, if necessary to avoid duplication in respect of any payments or distributions by the Company to the NSM Members in respect of their Interests, the amount of all such payments or proceeds, as applicable, shall be deemed to be a distribution to the Company (and by the Company to NSM) constituting a return of the NSM Members' capital contributions to the Company on a pro rata basis. NSM shall not amend or waive, nor shall the Company permit the License Company or its Subsidiaries to amend or waive, any term or provision of the Interest Purchase Agreement, the NSM Security Agreement or the NSM Pledge Agreement or the related Subsidiary guarantees or security agreement supplements, without the prior written consent of American II in its sole discretion.

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback

Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE 4, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined without regard to Member Nonrecourse Debts) during any fiscal year, each Member shall, subject to the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(f), be specially allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined without regard to Member Nonrecourse Debts) within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704‑2(i)(6) and 1.704‑2(i)(2).

(b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback

If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company fiscal year, each Member that, as of the beginning of such year, has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(i)(5), shall, subject to the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(f), be specially allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto.

(c) Qualified Income Offset

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but only if required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b) in order for the allocations provided for herein to be considered to have substantial economic effect or to be deemed to be in accordance with the Member's Interests, if, for any fiscal year, a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704‑1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), and such adjustment, allocation or distribution causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to such Member, then, before any other allocations are made, such Member shall be allocated items of income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and gain) in the amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions

Section 4.4. Curative Allocations

The allocations set forth in Section 4.3(a) through (e) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements under Section 704(b) of the Code.

Accordingly, the Manager is hereby authorized and directed to make offsetting allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction under this Section 4.4 in whatever manner the Manager determines is appropriate so that, after such offsetting special allocations are made, the Capital Accounts of the Members are, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Accounts each would have if the provisions of Section 4.3 were not contained in this Agreement and all income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company were instead allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.

Section 4.5. Special Allocations in the Event of Company Audit Adjustments

Notwithstanding the allocation provisions of Section 4.1 and Section 4.2, and prior to making any of the allocations specified in Section 4.3, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order and in a manner, taking into consideration any tiered partnership structure that the Company may be part of, that reflects the relative economic interests of each Member in the Company:

(b) If for any fiscal year of the Company, the Company or any Affiliate of the Company is deemed to have a reduction in income for tax purposes as a result of a re‑determination by a taxing authority of an item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is attributable to a loan transaction, the provision of services, or the grant of a license or sublicense in intangible property by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, to or involving any Member or Affiliate of any Member, such reduction in income shall be allocated to the Member involved in such loan transaction or that received such services, license or sublicense (or the Member whose Affiliate was involved in such loan transaction or received such services, license or sublicense) and any related deemed cash contribution shall be treated as having been made by the same Member.

(c) If for any taxable period of a Member, such Member or any Affiliate of the Member is deemed to have additional income for tax purposes as a result of a re‑determination by a taxing authority of an item of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to a loan transaction, the provision of services, or the grant of a license or sublicense in intangible property by such Member or any Affiliate of such Member, to or involving the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, any increase in the amount of a Company deduction associated with such re‑determination of such Member's or any Affiliate of such Member's income shall be allocated (in the appropriate fiscal year) to the Member involved in such loan transaction or that provided such services, license or sublicense (either directly or through an Affiliate), and any related deemed cash contribution shall be treated as having been made by the same Member.

(d) If for any taxable period of a Member, such Member or any Affiliate of the Member is deemed to have a reduction in income for tax purposes as a result of a re‑determination by a taxing authority of an item of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to a loan transaction, the provision of services, or the grant of a license or sublicense in intangible property by such Member or any Affiliate of such Member, to or involving the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, any reduction in the amount of a Company deduction associated with such re‑determination of such Member's or any Affiliate of such Member's income shall be allocated (in the appropriate fiscal year) to the Member involved in such loan transaction or that provided such services, license or sublicense (either directly or through an Affiliate), and any related deemed cash distribution shall be treated as having been made to the same Member.

(e) A re‑determination by a taxing authority shall only be given effect for purposes of this Section 4.5 if such re‑determination is (i) a decision, judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction, which has become final and is either no longer subject to appeal or for which a determination not to appeal has been made; (ii) a closing agreement made under

If any property is contributed to the capital of the Company, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated solely for tax purposes among the Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑3 so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value. All decisions regarding the choice of allocation method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑3 with respect to assets contributed to the Company shall be made by the Manager, subject to the prior written consent of Class B Members holding a majority of the total outstanding Class B Percentages, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Revalued Property

If the Company assets are revalued as set forth in the definition of “Book Value” in Section 1.1, then subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to revalued Company assets shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such assets for federal income tax purposes and their adjusted value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑3. Except as otherwise provided herein, all decisions regarding the choice of allocation method under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑3 with respect to revalued Company assets shall be made by the Members. The Company shall use the “traditional method” without curative allocations under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) for reverse Section 704(c) allocations resulting from the revaluation of the Company’s assets for Book Value purposes in connection with initial issuance of Class A Preferred Interests.

The Company and its Subsidiaries shall prepare and maintain, or cause to be prepared and maintained, adequate documentation of their internal control over financial reporting consistent with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act and Item 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, and shall make such documentation available to any such Member and its Affiliates and their independent auditors at such reasonable times as such Persons may reasonably request. Such internal control over financial reporting (and the documentation related thereto) shall be sufficient to permit each Member that files public reports with the SEC to assess and evaluate periodically the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to permit each independent auditor of each such Member to evaluate such assessment and to provide any required attestation report with respect thereto. From time to time, upon notice of any such condition, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall promptly remedy any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in their internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Company Tax Returns

(i) The Tax Matters Member will prepare or cause to be prepared all required domestic and foreign tax returns and information returns of the Company, drafts of which shall be furnished to the Members within ninety (90) days following the close of each fiscal year. Final returns shall be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days following each year end. The Company shall pay for all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses (including accounting fees, if any) in connection with such preparation (it being understood that the Tax Matters Member shall not receive any compensation from the Company for preparing such returns). Any Member may, at its own expense, engage a third party to review the tax returns and information returns prepared by the Tax Matters Member pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Tax Matters Member shall not file any such return without the approval of any Member that constitutes a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) (as in effect for tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2018 and determined without regard to whether any informational or procedural steps associated with obtaining such status have been complied with) of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such “notice partner” Member shall be deemed to have given such approval if such Member does not indicate its written objection (which may be delivered by facsimile) to the Tax Matters Member within twenty (20) days of the date that such Member receives a draft of such return. If a “notice partner” Member does not approve of any proposed filing of a return by the Tax Matters Member, such Member and the Tax Matters Member shall seek, in good faith, to resolve their disagreement. If a “notice partner” Member and the Tax Matters Member cannot resolve their disagreement within ten (10) days of receipt of the “notice partner” Member's written objection by the Tax Matters Member, either of such Member or the Tax Matters Member may request, in writing with a copy sent to the other Member, that the disagreement be resolved by the Company's independent public accountants and the independent public accountants shall be instructed to resolve the dispute in such manner consistent with this Agreement as they believe will properly maximize, in the aggregate, the United States federal, state and local income tax advantages and will properly

The independent public accountants shall provide their written resolution of the disagreement to both the “notice partner” Member and the Tax Matters Member within fifteen (15) days from the date that the independent public accountants were requested to resolve such disagreement. Any and all other tax returns shall be prepared in a manner directed by the Tax Matters Member consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Each Member shall provide such information, if any, as may be reasonably requested by the Company for purposes of preparing such tax and information returns.

(ii) The Tax Matters Member shall furnish a copy of all filed domestic and foreign tax returns and information returns for the Company to each of the Members. In addition, upon reasonable written notice provided to the Company by a Member (and as otherwise required by Applicable Law), the Company shall furnish such Member, on a timely basis, with all information relating to the Company required to be reported in any United States federal, state or local tax return of such Member, including a report indicating such Member's allocable share for United States federal income tax purposes of the Company's income, gain, credits, losses and deductions.

(iii) The Members agree that the Company shall be treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes. The Members agree to (A) approve electing partnership status with respect to the Company with the United States Internal Revenue Service and such other state and local taxing authorities as may be appropriate and to cooperate in providing all consents, signatures, documents and such other information as may be required with respect thereto and (B) report all “partnership items” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code) (as in effect for tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2018) of the Company consistent with such classification of the Company for United States federal, state and local tax purposes and with the returns filed by the Company; provided, however, that if any Member intends to file a notice of inconsistent treatment under Section 6222(b) of the Code, such Member shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such notice, notify in writing the other Members of such intent and such Member's intended treatment of the item which is (or may be) inconsistent with the treatment of that item by the Company.

(d) Tax Audits. American II, for so long as it is a Member and, thereafter, the Manager shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company, as that term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (as in effect for tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2018) (the “Tax Matters Member”), with all of the rights, duties and powers provided for in sections 6221 through 6232, inclusive, of the Code (as in effect for tax years prior to January 1, 2018), provided that the Tax Matters Member shall not pay or agree to pay (or make any agreement that would cause a Member to pay) any audit assessment, or any amount in settlement or compromise of any litigation, in respect of income tax liability of the Members attributable to the Interests in the Company, in excess of $500,000 in any one instance or series of related instances, unless approved by each Member whose financial interest in such matter exceeds $100,000 individually or in the aggregate.

The Tax Matters Member, as an authorized representative of the Company, shall direct the defense of any tax claims made by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing jurisdiction to the extent that such claims relate to adjustment of Company items at the Company level and, in connection therewith, shall retain and cause the Company to pay the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors chosen by the Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member shall also be responsible for timely filing all elections made by the Company, subject to any applicable approval requirements set forth in this Agreement. The Tax Matters Member shall deliver to each Member and the Manager a semi‑annual report on the status of all tax audits and open tax years relating to the Company, and shall consult with and keep all Members and the Manager advised of all significant developments in such matters coming to the attention of the Tax Matters Member. All reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses of the Tax Matters Member and its Affiliates and other reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such defense shall be borne by the Company (it being understood that the Tax Matters Member shall not receive any compensation from the Company for acting in such capacity). Except as provided in ARTICLE 12, neither the Tax Matters Member nor the Company shall be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties payable by a Member or any costs of separate counsel chosen by such Member to represent the Member with respect to any aspect of such defense. The Tax Matters Member shall take any steps necessary to designate American II and NSM as a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) (as in effect for tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2018). In addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive any rights, including rights to participate in administrative and judicial proceedings, that a Member may have under Section 6221 through 6233 of the Code (as in effect for tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2018). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 5.5(c) and Section 5.5(d) shall survive the dissolution of the Company or the termination of any Member's interest in the Company and shall remain binding on all Members for a period of time necessary to resolve with the United States Internal Revenue Service or any applicable state or local taxing authority all matters (including litigation) regarding the United States Federal, state and local income taxation, as the case may be, of the Company or any Member with respect to the Company.

(e) Withholding

(i) The Company shall comply with all withholding requirements under applicable United States federal, state, local and foreign tax laws and shall remit amounts withheld to, and file required forms with, the applicable taxing authorities. To the extent that the Company withholds and pays over any amounts to any taxing authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Member, the amount withheld shall be charged to the Capital Account of such Member. The Company shall notify each of the Members of any withholding with respect to such Member, designating such Member's allocable share of such withholding tax. The Members hereby agree that they will not claim a credit in excess of the amount in such notice.

(ii) In the event of any claimed over‑withholding by the Company, the Member shall have no rights against the Company or any other Member. Anything in the previous sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company is required to take any action in

-37-

order to secure a refund or credit for the benefit of a Member in respect of any amount withheld by it, it shall take any such action including applying for such refund on behalf of the Member and paying it over to such Member.

(iii) Except in the case of withholding pursuant to Section 1446 of the Code, if any amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual distributions that would have otherwise been made to a Member, the Company shall require the Member to which the withholding was credited to reimburse the Company for such withholding.

(iv) In the event of any under‑withholding by the Company, each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Tax Matters Member from and against any liability, including interest and penalties, with respect thereto.

(v) Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist the Company in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, the Company's withholding obligations.

(vi) Upon the request of any Member, the Company shall make any filings, applications or elections to obtain any available exemption from, or any available refund of, any withholding or similar taxes imposed by any non‑United States (whether sovereign or local) taxing authority with respect to amounts distributable or items of income allocable to such Member hereunder. Such Member shall cooperate with the Company in making any such filings, applications or elections to the extent the Company reasonably determines that such cooperation is necessary or desirable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Member must make any such filings, applications or elections directly, the Company, at the request of such Member, shall provide such information and take such other action as may reasonably be necessary to complete or make such filings, applications or elections.

Section 6.2. Removal of Manager

(a) Removal of Manager

Subject to FCC approval, if required, NSM shall be removed as the Manager, and the management of the Company shall be transferred to a successor Manager in accordance with Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.2(c) (i) if (A) NSM is unwilling or unable to serve as the Manager, (B) would not be considered a Qualified Person if NSM itself were the applicant or licensee, as the case may be, in respect of the licenses held by the License Company or its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the Initial Grant Date and such failure is reasonably likely to materially impair the ability of the License Company or any of its Subsidiaries to realize the Auction Benefits or result in the revocation or non-renewal of any license, or (C) commits a Significant Breach at any time or (ii) in accordance with Section 11.4(a).

(b) Successor Manager

NSM (or, if it fails to do so, the other Members by affirmative vote of a majority of Class B Percentages not held by NSM) shall designate the successor Manager as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after notice from any other Member that one or more of the events specified in Section 6.2(a) has occurred. NSM shall continue to act as Manager until the successor Manager assumes the management of the Company. NSM shall take whatever steps are commercially reasonable to assist the successor Manager in assuming the management of the Company including transferring to the successor Manager all historical financial, tax, accounting and other data and records in the possession of NSM, and giving such consents, assigning such permits and executing such instruments as may be necessary to vest in the successor Manager those rights that were necessary for NSM to perform its obligations.

All Significant Matters shall require the prior written approval of American II, in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason; provided that no such approval shall be required solely with respect to the purchase and sale of Interests pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Interest Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the Put Right; provided, further, that transfers of assets of the License Company (other than the membership interests of any Subsidiaries that do not hold licenses) or of any of its Subsidiaries solely for the purpose of generating the funds required to satisfy the obligations of the License Company and its Subsidiaries that are then due and payable under the Interest Purchase Agreement shall cease to require the approval of American II under any clause of the definition of Significant Matter at such time, subject to the provisions of the Senior Credit Facility and the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement.

Section 6.4. Separateness Covenants

Section 6.5. Business Plans and Budgets

(a) Five‑Year Business Plan

On September 12, 2014, the Manager adopted the initial five‑year high‑level business plan (the “Five‑Year Business Plan”) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Manager shall update the Five-Year Business Plan to address the next five-year period which update shall be distributed to American II not later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the fifth fiscal year covered by the Five-Year Business Plan. In addition, the Manager may, from time to time, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, modify the Five-Year Business Plan to reflect any material changes affecting the Company and its Subsidiaries or their Business, including changes in availability of capital (including under the Senior Credit Facility).

(b) Annual Business Plans and Budgets

The Manager shall prepare and adopt a detailed annual Business Plan and detailed annual budget no later than ninety (90) days following the Initial Grant Date. Each such annual Business Plan shall set forth the business and operational parameters and objectives for such year, including appropriate explanations of the Manager's strategy.

funds equal to $700,000 per year (the “Management Fee”), payable in quarterly installments in arrears. For the avoidance of doubt, the Management Fee is meant solely as a payment to the Manager in lieu of a board of managers fee which would typically be payable to a managing member of a board in connection with its oversight and control of the Company, and is not meant to cover the operating, overhead or employee compensation expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all of which will be payable directly by the Company and its Subsidiaries (and not by the Manager itself).

ARTICLE 7

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

No Member may Transfer all or any part of its Interests, including interests in any of its Subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own Interests, except in compliance with the following provisions of this ARTICLE 7.

Section 7.1. Restrictions

(a) Transfers by Certain Members

The Members (other than American II) may Transfer Interests (i) at any time after the Initial Grant Date, to one or more Permitted Transferees; (ii) during the ten (10) years after the Initial Grant Date with the consent of American II, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; (iii) to the License Company pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement or to the Company pursuant to ARTICLE 8 without the consent of American II but subject to Section 7.1(d) and (iv) following the tenth anniversary of the Initial Grant Date without the consent of American II, but in each case subject to Section 7.3 and the other provisions of this ARTICLE 7. American II may not Transfer all or a majority of its Interests unless the transferee thereof either (x) agrees to assume in a written agreement reasonably acceptable to NSM (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) American II’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and all related agreements and agrees to be bound by the provisions thereof as if an original party thereto or (y) agrees to provide at least the same level of financing to the Company, the License Company and its Subsidiaries as available to them under the Senior Credit Facility on terms and conditions which are acceptable to NSM; provided that if the terms and conditions, individually and in the aggregate, are, in the reasonable judgment of NSM, no less favorable to NSM, the Company, the License Company and its Subsidiaries as those set forth in the Senior Credit Facility, the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and such related agreements (including the priority of Liens set forth therein), then NSM shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the close of the Auction, the Manager may admit as new, non-controlling members of the Manager, one or more Persons to provide additional capital to the Manager, subject to American II’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided that such action does not result in NSM failing to qualify as a “very small business” as required by Section 11.3(a)(iii).

(b) No Transfer of Right to Manage

The right to manage the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall not be transferable with the Interests of NSM without the prior written consent of American II. Accordingly, subject to Section 7.1(a), if NSM Transfers twenty‑five percent (25%) or more of its Interests (other than a Transfer of one hundred percent of NSM's Interests to a Permitted Transferee), and American II elects not to exercise its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 7.3(a), then, subject to FCC approval, the right to manage the Company shall be transferred to a successor Manager, which shall (i) be, if then required in order for the License Company and its Subsidiaries to retain the Auction Benefits, a Qualified Person; (ii) not be a competitor or an Affiliate of a competitor of American II (as determined by American II in its sole and absolute discretion) or its Affiliates and (iii) be subject to the prior written approval of American II.

(c) No Transfers to Competitors

So long as American II owns an Interest, the Members other than American II may not Transfer any or all of their Interests to a competitor of American II or its Affiliates, or an Affiliate of any such competitor, without American II's prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d) FCC Compliance

All Transfers of Interests are subject to and must comply with all applicable FCC Rules.

Section 7.2. Exceptions

(a) Transfers by Members of NSM

The provisions of Section 7.1 (other than Section 7.1(d)) shall not apply to (i) the Cash Equity Investors, except with respect to Transfers of their interests in NSM, whether held directly by the Cash Equity Investors or through one or more intermediaries (it being understood that this exception is intended to restrict Transfers of interests in NSM effected by the Cash Equity Investors themselves and their Subsidiaries, rather than Transfers effected by direct and indirect owners of interests in the Cash Equity Investors) and (ii) Transfers (except with respect to Transfers of their interests in NSM) or issuances of the Equity Interests of any other member of NSM, unless such Transfer results in a Change of Control of NSM or would impair the ability of the License Company or any of its Subsidiaries to realize the Auction Benefits.

(b) Transfers by American II Members

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 14.3, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.1 (other than Section 7.1(d)) shall not apply to (i) Transfers of Interests in the Company held by American II (or its Permitted Transferees) to any Affiliate of American II or (ii) Transfers of direct or indirect interests in American II or its Affiliates. In addition, American II (or its Permitted Transferees) may collaterally assign its

Interests in the Company to any secured lender of American II or its Affiliates, and American II (or its Permitted Transferees) may Transfer its Interests in the Company held by American II (or its Permitted Transferees) at any time in accordance with Section 14.3.

(c) Pledges by Certain Members

The members of NSM may pledge their Equity Interests in NSM to secure loans, provided that any such pledge and its terms (A) shall be subject to the prior approval of American II (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but solely with respect to compliance of any such pledge and its terms with FCC Rules, including with respect to the matters set forth in clause (B) below, and (B) shall in no event permit the lender to take any action that would impair the eligibility of the License Company or any of its Subsidiaries to hold any of the licenses won in the Auction or that could result in the License Company or any Subsidiary losing any Auction Benefits.

Section 7.3. Right of First Refusal

(a) Notice and Exercise of Right

If, following the expiration of the ten‑year period referred to in Section 7.1(a), any Members other than American II (the “Sellers”) receive and wish to accept a bona fide written binding offer (the “Third Party Offer”) from a bona fide third party who is not a Permitted Transferee (the “Offeror”) to purchase all or any portion of their Interests (the “Offered Interests”), then the Sellers shall give notice of such Third Party Offer (the “Third Party Offer Notice”) to American II, which notice shall identify the Offeror, enclose a copy of the Third Party Offer and irrevocably offer to American II the right to purchase the Offered Interests at the same purchase price, which must be payable in cash, and on the other terms and conditions as specified in the Third Party Offer if the Offered Interests are the only assets being sold or for cash at the lesser of the designated purchase price for the Offered Interests in the Third Party Offer or at their then Fair Market Value if the Offered Interests are being Transferred in such transaction or series of related transactions with other assets or for consideration other than cash; provided that American II shall be entitled to pay for the Offered Interests with instruments of indebtedness to the extent the Third Party Offer contemplates the delivery of instruments of indebtedness. American II may exercise its right to purchase the Offered Interests by notifying the Sellers in writing of its election to purchase within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) delivery of the Third Party Offer Notice and (ii) any determination of Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 7.7 or otherwise.

(b) Closing of Purchase

If American II duly elects to purchase the Offered Interests, the closing of such purchase (the “RoFR Closing”) shall take place on a date agreed to by the Sellers and American II, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the exercise by American II of its election to purchase; provided that if any governmental or regulatory approval is required for American II to consummate its purchase and has not been obtained by the date that is twenty‑five (25) days

following the exercise by American II of its election to purchase, the RoFR Closing with respect to such purchase may be deferred until no later than ten (10) days following the date on which the governmental or regulatory approval, including an order, decision, or public notice of the FCC or a duly-authorized bureau or division thereof granting such approval, is final and no longer subject to reconsideration, review or appeal, unless such finality is waived by American II, in which case the closing with respect to such purchase shall occur within ten (10) days following the later of (i) the date on which such governmental or regulatory approval, including a non‑final order, decision, or public notice of the FCC or a duly-authorized bureau or division thereof granting such approval, is released and (ii) the date of American II's waiver of such finality.

(c) Representations at Closing

At any RoFR Closing, the Sellers shall represent and warrant in writing to American II only that the Sellers (i) are the sole beneficial and record owners of the Offered Interests and have good title thereto free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement or under any applicable securities laws and other than Liens under or pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility and the other Loan Documents (as defined therein)) and (ii) have full power and authority to sell the Offered Interests without conflict with the terms of any Applicable Law, order or agreement or instrument binding upon them or their assets. The Sellers shall deliver to American II such customary instruments of assignment with respect to the Offered Interests as may be reasonably requested by American II to vest in American II all right, title and interest therein.

(d) Sale to Third Party

If American II fails to exercise its right to purchase the Offered Interests, the Sellers may accept the Third Party Offer and sell the Offered Interests to the Offeror; provided that such sale shall be at a price, and on other terms and conditions, no less favorable to Sellers than those specified in the Third Party Offer Notice and otherwise in accordance with this ARTICLE 7. If such sale is not consummated within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable time periods specified in paragraph (a) above, subject to an automatic extension for up to an additional two hundred seventy (270) days to the extent necessary to obtain any required governmental or regulatory approval, such right to sell shall lapse and Transfers of the Offered Interests shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3.

(e) Assumption of Agreements

At any closing with respect to a sale to a third party, the Offeror shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement and any Related Agreements to which the Sellers or their Affiliates are party and shall be bound by the provisions of and assume the obligations of the Sellers under all such Agreements. The Sellers and the Offeror shall execute such documents as American II may reasonably request to evidence such assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers shall not be relieved of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any Related Agreement arising prior to such sale, to the extent such obligations shall not be discharged by the third party.

Section 7.4. Tag‑Along Right

(a) In lieu of exercising its rights under Section 7.3, American II may, within thirty (30) days following receipt of any Third Party Offer Notice, elect to participate in such sale by including therein a pro rata portion of its Interests in the Company. Such sale, if any, shall be made on the same terms and conditions as the sale described in the Third Party Offer Notice and the Sellers may not consummate their sale unless such sale, if any, by American II is consummated simultaneously in accordance with the terms hereof. If American II fails to elect to participate in such sale and such sale is not consummated within the applicable time periods specified above in Section 7.3(d), the rights and restrictions provided for in this Section 7.4(a) shall again become effective, and no Transfer of Interests may be made thereafter by the Sellers other than in accordance with this ARTICLE 7.

(b) If, following the expiration of the ten-year period referred to in Section 7.1(a), American II receives and wishes to accept a bona fide written binding offer from a bona fide third party who is not a Permitted Transferee to purchase all or any portion of its Interests in accordance with Section 14.3(b), then American II shall give notice of such offer to NSM, which notice shall identify the offeror and enclose a copy of such offer. NSM may, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, elect to participate in such sale by including therein a pro rata portion of its Interests in the Company. Such sale, if any, shall be made on the same terms and conditions as the sale described in the notice given by American II pursuant to the first sentence hereof and American II may not consummate its sale unless such sale, if any, by NSM is consummated simultaneously in accordance with the terms hereof. If NSM fails to elect to participate in such sale and such sale is not consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the delivery by American II to NSM of the notice of such third party offer, subject to an automatic extension for up to an additional two hundred seventy (270) days to the extent necessary to obtain any required governmental or regulatory approval, the rights and restrictions provided for in this Section 7.4(b) shall again become effective, and no Transfer of Interests may be made thereafter by American II other than in accordance with this ARTICLE 7.

Section 7.5. Substituted Members

Prior to any Transfer of Interests by a Member, the transferor shall deliver to other Members a notice setting forth the identity of the transferee, and shall provide such other information as the other Members may reasonably request in connection with such Transfer. A transferee of Interests Transferred in accordance with this ARTICLE 7 shall be admitted as a Member upon execution of a counterpart to this Agreement evidencing its agreement to be bound hereby. Upon the admission of any such transferee as a Member, the transferring Member or Members shall be relieved of any obligation arising under this Agreement subsequent to such Transfer with respect to the Interests being transferred (provided that the transferee shall assume all such obligations), and if the transferring Member no longer holds any Interests, the transferring Member shall be relieved of its obligations arising under this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 14.3. Prior to any Transfer of an Interest or any portion thereof (other than pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement or ARTICLE 8) and as a condition thereof, and prior to any

admission of an assignee as a Member, the Member making such Transfer and the assignee shall furnish the Manager, and a majority in Class B Percentages of the non‑transferring Members, with such documents regarding the Transfer as the Manager or such majority of the non-transferring Members may reasonably request (in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager or such majority, as applicable), including a copy of the Transfer instrument, a ratification by the assignee of this Agreement (if the assignee is to be admitted as a Member), a legal opinion that the Transfer will not cause the Company to be characterized for federal and applicable state income tax purposes as other than a partnership, a legal opinion that the Transfer complies with applicable federal and state securities laws and a legal opinion that the Transfer will not violate the FCC Rules (including adversely affecting the qualification of the License Company as a “very small business” under the relevant FCC Rules if, and to the extent, such qualification is then required for the License Company and its Subsidiaries to retain any Auction Benefits) or this Agreement. In connection with any Transfer (other than pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement or ARTICLE 8), the Company shall, at the request of the Member making such Transfer and at such Member's sole expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be made any filing required by the FCC.

Section 7.6. Invalid Transfers Void

Any purported Transfer of an Interest or any part thereof not in compliance with the provisions of this ARTICLE 7 shall be void and of no force or effect and the transferring Member shall be liable to the other Members and the Company for all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of such non‑complying Transfer.

Section 7.7. Determination of Fair Market Value

The Fair Market Value of Interests to be transferred or other property received pursuant to this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with this Section 7.7. For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Sellers owning a majority of the applicable Offered Interests shall have the right to act on behalf of the Sellers. Within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the notice requiring such determination, the Sellers and American II shall attempt in good faith to agree on the Fair Market Value. If the Sellers and American II fail within fifteen (15) days thereafter to agree thereon, each of the Sellers and American II shall deliver a notice to the other appointing as its appraiser (“Appraiser”) an independent accounting or investment banking firm or appraisal firm of nationally recognized standing. The Sellers and American II by mutual agreement shall also appoint a third Appraiser. If after appointment of the two Appraisers, the Sellers and American II are unable to agree upon a third Appraiser, such appointment shall be made within fifteen (15) days of the request by the American Arbitration Association, or any organization successor thereto, from a panel of arbitrators having experience in the appraisal of the type of property then the subject of appraisal. The decisions of the three Appraisers so appointed and chosen shall be given within thirty (30) days after the selection of such third Appraiser. If the determination of one Appraiser differs from the middle determination by more than twice the amount by which the other determination differs from the middle determination, then the determination of such Appraiser

shall be excluded, the remaining two determinations shall be averaged and such average shall be binding and conclusive on the parties; otherwise the average of all three determinations shall be binding and conclusive. The Sellers' obligation to provide a Third Party Offer Notice pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall not be applicable until the date of delivery of such determination to American II. The costs of conducting any appraisal procedure shall be borne as follows: (a) the costs of the Appraiser designated by the Sellers and other costs separately incurred by the Sellers shall be borne by the Sellers; (b) the costs of the Appraiser designated by American II and other costs separately incurred by American II shall be borne by American II and (c) the costs of the third Appraiser, if any, shall be shared equally by the Sellers and American II. For purposes of this Section, the Fair Market Value of an Interest shall be equal to the amount the holder thereof would be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 13.3 if the Company's business and assets (including intangibles, such as goodwill) were sold for their Fair Market Value, all Company liabilities were paid and the Company were liquidated.

Section 7.8. Acceptance of Prior Acts

Any Permitted Transferee or other Person who becomes a Member of the Company, accepts, ratifies and agrees to be bound by all actions duly taken pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the Company prior to the date it became a Member and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, specifically ratifies and approves all agreements and other instruments as may have been executed and delivered on behalf of the Company prior to such date and which are in force and effect on such date.

Section 9.4. Right to Defer the Offering

If American II determines that a registration pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 would interfere with any pending or contemplated material acquisition, disposition, financing or other material transaction involving the Company or American II or any of its Affiliates or would require the Company to disclose material information that would otherwise not be disclosed at such time (and such disclosure would be prejudicial to the Company or American II), the Company will defer such registration at the request of American II; provided that the aggregate of all such deferrals shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in any three hundred sixty‑day period.

(b) NSM shall not permit the amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of its certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement (as amended and restated on October 3, 2014 and as further amended on October 10, 2014 and on February 12, 2015), nor shall NSM enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person that could reasonably be expected to result in a material breach or default of any representation or covenant of NSM contained in this Agreement.

Section 11.4. Failure to Qualify as a Qualified Person

(a) Failure to Qualify Not Resulting from Change in Applicable FCC Rules

(i) Failure to Qualify Not Resulting from Significant Violation. If the FCC determines that NSM fails to qualify and remain qualified as a Qualified Person as required under Section 11.3(a)(iii), and such failure (A) causes the License Company or any of its Subsidiaries to fail to retain any Auction Benefits and the corresponding unjust enrichment payments in respect thereof have become due and payable to the FCC and (B) has not resulted from a change in applicable FCC Rules (including through the promulgation of an order or similar action by the FCC) or any action or failure to act by NSM and/or the Company that is a Significant Violation, then NSM agrees that, at the written request of American II, NSM shall pay American II ***, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Such liquidated damages amount shall be payable on demand, subject to the provisions in the next sentence. Upon the written request of American II requiring NSM to pay such liquidated damages, NSM and the Company shall within five (5) Business Days thereafter file with the FCC an appropriate application for transfer of control of the applicable licenses held by the License Company and its Subsidiaries (and American II shall provide such assistance and information as is reasonably requested by NSM or the Company).

Upon the written request of American II requiring such liquidated damages, following receipt of FCC approval, and subject to and concurrently with American II's receipt of the aforementioned liquidated damages payment, the Company (or, in the event the Company does not have adequate capital, American II) shall refund capital to the NSM Members in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of equity capital contributions previously made by the NSM Members to the Company, less any prior distributions to the NSM Members (other than tax distributions pursuant to Section 3.2(b)), in full redemption of the NSM Members' Interests; provided that American II shall promptly pay to the FCC, on behalf of the License Company and its Subsidiaries, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments due to the FCC as a result of, or as a condition to, the redemption of the NSM Members' Interests (including any unjust enrichment payment) pursuant to American II's written request. Following FCC approval of the redemption (if required), NSM shall resign as Manager of the Company, such resignation to be effective on the consummation of the redemption and the appointment of a replacement Manager. Upon completion of such payment in full redemption, the NSM Members shall automatically cease to be (x) Members of the Company and (y) parties to this Agreement, in each case without any further action required of the parties hereto. Such liquidated damages set forth in this Section 11.4(a)(i) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of American II for any such failure to so qualify under the circumstances described in this Section 11.4(a)(i); provided that such liquidated damages shall not be deemed a remedy for, or otherwise effect the remedies available to, American II with respect to any other breaches by NSM of this Agreement.

If the FCC determines that NSM fails to qualify and remain qualified as a Qualified Person as required under Section 11.3(a)(iii), or that the License Company or any of its Subsidiaries are not qualified to retain the Auction Benefits and such failure (A) causes the License Company or any of its Subsidiaries to fail to retain any Auction Benefits and the corresponding unjust enrichment payments in respect thereof have become due and payable to the FCC, (B) has not resulted from a change in applicable FCC Rules (including through the promulgation of an order or similar action by the FCC) and (C) has resulted from an action or failure to act by NSM and/or the Company that is a Significant Violation, then NSM agrees that, upon the written request of American II, NSM and the Company shall within five (5) Business Days thereafter file with the FCC an appropriate application for transfer of control of the applicable licenses held by the License Company and its Subsidiaries (and American II shall provide such assistance and information as is reasonably requested by NSM or the Company). Upon the written request of American II (which must be made within 60 days following the date on which the Auction Benefits or portion thereof are forfeited), following receipt of FCC approval, the Company (or, in the event the Company does not have adequate capital, American II) shall refund capital to the NSM Members in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of equity capital contributions previously made by the NSM Members to the Company, less (y) any prior distributions to the NSM Members (other than tax distributions pursuant to Section 3.2(b)), and (z) *** (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty), in full redemption of the NSM Members' Interests; provided that American II

shall promptly pay to the FCC, on behalf of the License Company and its Subsidiaries, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments due to the FCC as a result of, or as a condition to, the redemption of the NSM Members' Interests (including any unjust enrichment payment) pursuant to American II's written request. Following FCC approval of the redemption (if required), NSM shall resign as Manager of the Company, such resignation to be effective on the consummation of the redemption and the appointment of a replacement Manager. Upon completion of such payment in full redemption, the NSM Members shall automatically cease to be (x) Members of the Company and (y) parties to this Agreement, in each case without any further action required of the parties hereto. The rights set forth in this Section 11.4(a)(ii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of American II for any such failure to so qualify under the circumstances described in this Section 11.4(a)(ii); provided that such rights shall not be deemed a remedy for, or otherwise effect the remedies available to, American II with respect to any other breaches by NSM of this Agreement.

(b) Failure to Qualify Resulting from Change in Applicable FCC Rules. If NSM fails to qualify and remain qualified as a Qualified Person as required under Section 11.3(a)(iii) and such failure results from a change in applicable FCC Rules (including through the promulgation of an order or similar action by the FCC), then the parties shall promptly take reasonable steps to enable NSM to so qualify; provided that the relative economic and other rights and benefits expected to be derived by the parties hereunder are preserved.

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 12.1. No Personal Liability

(a) Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Indemnified Person (as defined in Section 12.1(b)) shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being an Indemnified Person.

(b) No Member or its Affiliates, or any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, managers or partners (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to any other Indemnified Person for any act or omission performed or omitted by an Indemnified Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether for mistake of judgment or negligence or other action or inaction, unless such action or omission constitutes willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. Each Indemnified Person may consult with counsel, accountants and other experts in respect of the affairs of the Company and such Indemnified Person shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel, accountants or other experts, provided that they shall have been selected with reasonable care.

Section 12.2. Indemnification by Company

To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person for any acts or omissions performed or omitted by an Indemnified Person (in its capacity as such) unless such action or omission constituted willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The indemnification authorized under this Section 12.2 shall include payment on demand (with appropriate evidence of the amounts claimed) of reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with, or in settlement of, any legal proceedings between the Indemnified Person and a third party and the removal of any Liens affecting any property of the Indemnified Person. Such indemnification rights shall be in addition to any and all rights, remedies and recourse to which any Indemnified Person shall be entitled, whether or not pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, at law or in equity. The indemnities provided for in this Section 12.2 shall be recoverable only from the assets of the Company, and there shall be no recourse to any Member or other Person for the payment of such indemnities.

Section 12.3. Notice and Defense of Claims

(a) Notice of Claim. If any action, claim or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Company under Section 12.2, the Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice of such Claim to the Company, which may assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and the payment of all of such counsel's fees and expenses; provided that any delay or failure to so notify the Company shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Any such notice shall refer to Section 12.2 and describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of the Claim being asserted.

(b) Defense by the Company. If the Company undertakes the defense of the Claim, the Company shall keep the Indemnified Person advised as to all material developments in connection with any Claim, including by promptly furnishing the Indemnified Person with copies of all material documents filed or served in connection therewith. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ one separate firm per jurisdiction with respect to any of the foregoing Claims and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such firm shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person unless both the Indemnified Person and the Company are named as parties and representation by the same counsel is inappropriate due to actual differing interests between them; provided that under no circumstances shall the Company be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one law firm per jurisdiction in any of the foregoing Claims for the Indemnified Persons, taken collectively and not separately. The Company may, without the Indemnified Person's consent, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment if such settlement, compromise or judgment involves only the payment of money damages by the Company (which payment is made or adequately provided for at the time of such settlement, compromise or judgment) or provides for the unconditional release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates from all liability in respect of such Claim and

does not impose injunctive relief against any of them. The Indemnified Person shall provide reasonable assistance to the Company in the defense of the Claim. As between the Company, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, any matter that is not agreed to unanimously by the Indemnified Persons shall be determined by the Indemnified Person that is a party to this Agreement.

(c) Defense by the Indemnified Person. If the Company, within twenty (20) Business Days after receiving written notice of any such Claim, fails to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Person shall have the right, subject to the right of the Company at any time thereafter to assume such defense pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 12, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the account of the Company.

(d) Advancement of Expenses. Unless the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of any Claim pursuant to Section 12.3(b), the Company shall advance to the Indemnified Person any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such Claim. Each Indemnified Person shall agree in writing prior to any such advancement, that if it receives any such advance, such Indemnified Person shall reimburse the Company for such fees, costs, and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that it was not entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 12.

(e) Contribution. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this ARTICLE 12 shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of any Indemnified Person for any liability to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of Applicable Law or to the extent such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under Applicable Law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this ARTICLE 12 to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law; provided that, if and to the extent that the Company's indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE 12 is unenforceable for any reason, then the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution permissible under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of the losses of the Indemnified Person, except to the extent such losses are found in a final, non‑appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith.

Upon the delivery of such notice, (A) this Agreement and all Related Agreements shall terminate, (B) any amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility shall be repaid in full, (C) American II's Interests shall be redeemed for an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (1) $850 and (2) the capital contributed to the Company by American II on or prior to such date pursuant to Section 2.2(b), without any action required by American II and American II shall cease to be a Member upon such redemption; provided that such termination and redemption shall not cause a dissolution of the Company, (D) NSM, the Company, and the License Company shall be free (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 and such other provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement) to participate in the Auction without further obligation to American II, it being understood that the rights under Section 4 of the Bidding Protocol shall continue in force and effect in accordance with its terms and (E) American II and its Affiliates shall be free (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 and such other provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement) to participate in the Auction without further obligation to NSM, the Company or the License Company, it being understood that the rights under Section 4 of the Bidding Protocol shall continue in force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, further, that if the License Company has made the upfront payment to the FCC, and if the License Company applies as promptly as practicable and permitted under the FCC Rules to obtain a refund from the FCC of all of the Auction funds previously paid by the License Company to the FCC for the Auction, then the amounts due to American II under (C) above shall not be due until the License Company receives such refund; provided, further, that such payments to American II and the other provisions set forth in this subsection shall be subject to Section 8.4 (if there is any conflict between this subsection and Section 8.4, Section 8.4 shall control).

Section 13.2. Dissolution

The Company shall be dissolved upon the written determination of the Manager to dissolve the Company, if approved by American II if required pursuant to Section 6.3, but only on the effective date of dissolution specified by the Manager in such determination.

Section 13.3. Procedures Upon Dissolution

(a) General. If the Company dissolves, it shall commence winding up pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Act and the procedures set forth in this Section 13.3.

(b) Control of Winding Up. The winding up of the Company shall be conducted under the direction of the Manager or such other Person as may be designated by a court of competent jurisdiction (herein sometimes referred to as the “Liquidator”); provided that any Member whose breach of this Agreement shall have caused the dissolution of the Company (and the representatives appointed by such Member) shall not participate in the control of the winding up of the Company; and provided, further, that if the dissolution is caused by entry of a decree of judicial dissolution, the winding up shall be carried out in accordance with such decree.

(c) Manner of Winding Up. The Company shall engage in no further business following dissolution other than that necessary for the orderly winding up of business and distribution of assets. The Company's maintenance of offices shall not be deemed a continuation of business for purposes of this Section 13.3. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator shall, subject to Section 13.3(a), first attempt to distribute assets in kind if it can obtain the consent of each of the Members and, to the extent necessary, the creditors of the Company. If such consent is not obtained, the Liquidator shall sell the Company or all the Company's property in such manner and on such terms as it deems fit, consistent with its fiduciary responsibility and having due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions. Each Member shall share Profits, Losses and other items after the dissolution of the Company and during the period of winding up in the same manner as described in ARTICLE 4.

(d) Application of Assets. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Company's assets (which shall, after the sale or sales referenced in Section 13.3(c), consist of the proceeds thereof) shall be applied as follows:

(i) Put Right. To NSM, to the extent the Put Right has been exercised pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and has not yet been satisfied. In order to provide NSM with sufficient time to exercise its Put Right in accordance with Section 8.1, under no circumstances shall the Company be dissolved within the ten-day period following the announcement of a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event.

(ii) Creditors. To creditors for borrowed money and interest accrued thereon, including Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by Applicable Law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or the reasonable provision for the payment thereof). Any reserves set up by the Liquidator may be paid over by the Liquidator to an escrow agent or trustee, to be held in escrow or trust for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations, and, at the expiration of such period as the Liquidator may deem advisable, such reserves shall be distributed to the Members or their assigns in the manner set forth in this Section 13.3(d).

(iii) Class A Members. To the Class A Members, first in respect of any unpaid distributions on the Class A Preferred Interests as of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and second, in accordance with the Liquidation Preference of the Class A Preferred Interests.

(iv) Class B Members. To the extent there are remaining funds available for distribution, to the Class B Members, in proportion to the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year during which the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event occurs (other than those made pursuant to this Section 13.3(d)(iv)).

(v) Incorporation. In the event the Company is incorporated in connection with an IPO or otherwise, each Member shall receive shares in the resulting corporation based on the amount it would receive in liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 13.3(d)(iii) and Section 13.3(d)(iv).

(e) Deemed Liquidation Event. The Company shall not voluntarily effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation or other agreement for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the Members shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 13.3(d), and as if the consideration payable to the Members were all assets of the Company available for distribution to the Members.

(f) Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount of consideration paid by the Company upon a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to the Members by the Company or the acquiring person, firm or other entity, with the value of such property, rights or securities determined in good faith by the Manager.

Section 13.4. Deficit Capital Accounts

If the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this ARTICLE 13 to the Members who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). No Member shall have an obligation to restore a negative Capital Account.

Section 13.5. Termination

Upon completion of the winding up of the Company and the distribution of all Company assets, the Company's affairs shall terminate and the Members shall cause to be executed and filed any and all documents required by the Act to effect the termination of the Company.

Section 14.2. Amendment; Waiver

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, modified, or waived except in a writing signed by NSM and American II. No failure or delay of any Member in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right or power, preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No waiver by any Member of any departure by any other Member from any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the Member against which enforcement of such waiver or consent is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

Section 14.5. Disposition of Interests

Upon the sale or other disposition by a Person of all its Interests in the Company, following which such Person and Affiliate thereof is no longer a Member of the Company, this Agreement shall terminate as to such Member and its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 14.3 or Section 14.6.

Section 14.6. Survival of Rights and Duties

Termination of this Agreement for any reason, and any Member ceasing to be a Member or a party to this Agreement for any reason, shall not relieve any Member of any liability which at the time of termination or cessation has already accrued to such Member or which thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination or cessation, nor shall any such termination or cessation affect in any way the Related Agreements or the survival of any right, duty or obligation of any Member which is expressly stated elsewhere in this Agreement to survive termination or cessation hereof. The provisions of ARTICLE 8, Section 10.2, Section 10.3, Section 11.4, ARTICLE 12, ARTICLE 13 and ARTICLE 14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and any Member ceasing to be a Member or a party to this Agreement for any reason.

Section 14.8. Specific Performance

The Members acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any Member may, in its sole discretion, in an arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction, to the extent permitted hereunder, apply for specific performance or injunctive or other relief as such arbitration or court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or to prevent violation hereof. Each Member hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by a Member, as the case may be.

Section 14.9. Remedies Cumulative

All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, shall not be mutually exclusive and shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of

Section 14.11. Expenses

In addition, the Company shall (or shall cause the License Company to) pay directly, or shall (or shall cause the License Company to) reimburse the Members for, the costs and expenses the Members incur (or have incurred) for the benefit of the Company or the License Company in connection with the License Company's participation in the Auction (e.g., the cost of bidding facilities and related computer hardware and software); provided that the other Members receive documentation of such expenses in a form reasonably acceptable to such Members, and provided that NSM shall be solely responsible for the investment banking fees and expenses paid or payable to RBC Capital Markets, if any, pursuant to any arrangement entered into by NSM with RBC Capital Markets (it being understood that NSM has not entered into any such arrangement.

Section 14.13. Severability

Subject to Section 14.14, each provision of this Agreement shall be construed as separable and divisible from every other provision and the enforceability of any one provision shall not limit the enforceability, in whole or in part, of any other provision. In the event that a court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid, illegal, void or less than fully enforceable as to time, scope or otherwise, the parties agree that such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it so that such provision is valid, legal, and fully enforceable while preserving to the greatest extent permissible the original intent of the parties; the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be affected by such alteration, and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 14.14. Reformation

(a) If the FCC should (i) change any FCC Rule in a manner that would adversely affect the enforceability of this Agreement; (ii) directly or indirectly reject or take action to challenge the enforceability of this Agreement or (iii) take any other steps whatsoever, on its own initiative or by petition from another Person, to challenge or deny the transactions contemplated hereby, or the eligibility of the License Company to hold any of the licenses won in the Auction or the ability of the License Company to realize the Auction Benefits (each, an “Adverse FCC Action”), then the Members shall promptly consult with each other and negotiate in good faith to reform and amend this Agreement so as to eliminate or amend to make unobjectionable any portion that is the subject of any Adverse FCC Action (each, an “Adverse FCC Action Reformation”). Furthermore, subject to consent in writing by American II, in the event of an Adverse FCC Action, the Members other than American II (the “Non-American II Members”) shall use their best efforts with respect to all aspects of the Adverse FCC Action to agree upon an Adverse FCC Action Reformation with American II; provided, however, that in the event that an element of any such Adverse FCC Action materially adversely impacts the material economic benefits of the Non-American II Members (each, an “Economic Element”), then the Non-American II Members may use commercially reasonable efforts solely with respect to the Economic Element of the Adverse FCC Action to agree upon an Adverse FCC Action Reformation with American II. None of the Members hereto shall take any action that is reasonably likely to contribute to such Adverse FCC Action.

(b) If the FCC should determine that a portion of this Agreement, after having been reformed pursuant to paragraph (a) above, continues to violate FCC Rules, then such provisions shall be null and void and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, provided that the relative economic and other rights and benefits expected to be derived by the parties hereunder are preserved.

Section 14.15. Relationship of Parties

Each Member shall perform services hereunder as an independent contractor and nothing herein shall be construed as creating any other relationship between the Members, except as expressly set forth herein. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will constitute a Member as a legal representative or agent of the other Member, nor will a Member have the right or authority to assume, create or incur any liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied, against or in the name of or on behalf of the other Member or hold itself out as agent for the other Member, unless otherwise expressly permitted by such other Member.

Section 14.16. No Right to Partition

No Member shall have the right to bring an action for partition against the Company. Each of the Members hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights which it may have to maintain an action to partition Company property or to compel any sale or transfer thereof.

(e) The words “include,” “includes” and “including” are not limiting.

(g) A reference in a document to an Article, Section, Exhibit, Schedule, Annex or Appendix is to the Article, Section, Exhibit, Schedule, Annex or Appendix of such document unless otherwise indicated.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement (exclusive of the Exhibits, Schedules, Annexes and Appendices thereto) and any Exhibit, Schedule, Annex or Appendix thereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

agreements issued or executed in replacement thereof and (iii) shall mean such document, instrument or agreement, or replacement or predecessor thereto, as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and in effect at any given time.
