NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (“Warner Bros. Discovery”, “WBD”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a leading global media and entertainment company that creates and distributes the world’s most differentiated and complete portfolio of content and brands across television, film and streaming. Available in more than 220 countries and territories and 50 languages, Warner Bros. Discovery inspires, informs and entertains audiences worldwide through its iconic brands and products including: Discovery Channel, discovery+, CNN, DC, Eurosport, HBO, HBO Max, HGTV, Food Network, OWN, Investigation Discovery, TLC, Magnolia Network, TNT, TBS, truTV, Travel Channel, MotorTrend, Animal Planet, Science Channel, Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Games, New Line Cinema, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Turner Classic Movies, Discovery en Español, Hogar de HGTV and others.
Merger with the WarnerMedia Business of AT&T
On April 8, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Discovery, Inc. (“Discovery”) completed its merger (the “Merger”) with the WarnerMedia business (the “WarnerMedia Business”, “WM Business” or “WM”) of AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) and changed its name to “Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc.”. On April 11, 2022, the Company’s shares started trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol WBD.
The Merger was executed through a Reverse Morris Trust type transaction, under which WM was distributed to AT&T’s shareholders via a pro rata distribution, and immediately thereafter, combined with Discovery. (See Note 3.) Prior to the Merger, WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc. distributed $40.5 billion to AT&T (subject to working capital and other adjustments) in a combination of cash, debt securities, and WM's retention of certain debt. Discovery transferred purchase consideration of $42.4 billion in equity to AT&T shareholders. In August 2022, the Company and AT&T finalized the post-closing working capital settlement process, pursuant to section 1.3 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which will result in the Company receiving a $1.2 billion payment from AT&T in the third quarter of 2022, which is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022. AT&T shareholders received shares of WBD Series A common stock (“WBD common stock”) in the distribution representing 71% of the combined company and the Company's pre-Merger shareholders continued to own 29% of the combined company, in each case on a fully diluted basis.
Discovery was deemed to be the accounting acquirer of the WM Business for accounting purposes under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”); therefore, Discovery is considered WBD’s predecessor and the historical financial statements of Discovery prior to April 8, 2022, are reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as WBD’s historical financial statements. Accordingly, the financial results of WBD as of and for any periods prior to April 8, 2022 do not include the financial results of the WM Business and current and future results will not be comparable to historical results.
Segments
In conjunction with the Merger, the Company reevaluated and changed its segment presentation during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Accordingly, beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and for all periods presented, we are reporting results based on the following segments:
Studios - Our Studios segment primarily consists of the production and release of feature films for initial exhibition in theaters, production and initial licensing of television programs to third parties and our networks/DTC services, distribution of our films and television programs to various third party and internal television and streaming services, distribution through the home entertainment market (physical and digital), related consumer products and themed experience licensing, and interactive gaming.
Networks - Our Networks segment primarily consists of our domestic and international television networks.
Direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) - Our DTC segment primarily consists of our premium pay TV and digital content services.
Impact of COVID-19
The Company continues to closely monitor the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of its business and geographies, including the impact on its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, distribution and advertising partners, production facilities, and various other third parties. Certain key sources of revenue for the Studios segment, including theatrical revenues, television production, studio operations and themed entertainment, have been adversely impacted by governmentally imposed shutdowns and related labor interruptions and constraints on consumer activity, particularly in the context of public entertainment venues, such as cinemas and theme parks.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

The nature and full extent of COVID-19’s effects on our operations and results are not yet known and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity and the extent of future variants or surges of COVID-19, vaccine distribution and efficacy and other actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. The consolidated financial statements reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained, including variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
These consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or future periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for asset impairments, revenue recognition, estimated credit losses, content rights, leases, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, share-based compensation, income taxes, other financial instruments, contingencies, estimated defined benefit plan liabilities, and the determination of whether the Company should consolidate certain entities.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the 2021 Form 10-K, other than updates to policies as a result of the Merger as described below.
Film and Television Content Rights
The Company groups its film and television content rights by monetization strategy. For films and television programs predominantly monetized individually, the amount of capitalized film and television production costs and the amount of participations and residuals to be recognized as expense in a particular period are determined using the individual film forecast method. Under this method, the amortization of capitalized costs and the accrual of participations and residuals are based on the proportion of the film’s or television program’s revenues recognized for such period to the film’s or television program’s estimated remaining ultimate revenues (i.e., the total revenue to be received throughout a film’s or television program’s remaining life cycle).
The process of estimating ultimate revenues requires us to make a series of judgments related to future revenue-generating activities associated with a particular film. Prior to the theatrical release of a film, our estimates are based on factors such as the historical performance of similar films, the star power of the lead actors, the rating and genre of the film, pre-release market research (including test market screenings), international distribution plans and the expected number of theaters in which the film will be released. Subsequent to release, ultimate revenues are updated to reflect initial performance, which is often predictive of future performance. For a film or television program that is predominantly monetized on its own but also monetized with other films and/or programs (such as our DTC or linear services), we make a reasonable estimate of the value attributable to the film or program’s exploitation while monetized with other films/programs and expense such costs as the film or television program is exhibited. For theatrical films, the period over which ultimate revenues from all applicable sources and exhibition windows are estimated does not exceed 10 years from the date of the film’s initial release. For television programs, the ultimate period does not exceed 10 years from delivery of the first episode, or, if still in production, five years from delivery of the most recent episode, if later. Ultimates for produced content monetized on an individual basis are reviewed and updated (as applicable) on a quarterly basis; any adjustments are applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year of the change.

For programs monetized as a group, including licensed programming, the Company’s film groups are generally aligned along the Company’s networks and digital content offerings, except for certain international territories wherein content assets are shared across the various networks in the territory and therefore, the territory is the film group. Amortization expense for each period is generally based on the revenue forecast model, which approximates the proportion that estimated distribution and advertising revenues for the current period represent in relation to the estimated remaining total lifetime revenues. Digital content and premium pay TV amortization for each period is recognized based on estimated viewing patterns as there are generally no direct revenues to associate to the individual content assets and therefore number of views is most representative of the use of the title. Licensed rights to film and television programming are typically amortized over the useful life of the program’s license period on a straight-line basis (or per-play basis, if greater, for certain programming on our ad-supported networks), or accelerated basis for licensed original programs.
Quarterly, the Company prepares analyses to support its content amortization expense. Critical assumptions used in determining content amortization for programming predominately monetized as a group include: (i) the grouping of content with similar characteristics, (ii) the application of a quantitative revenue forecast model or viewership model based on the adequacy of historical data, (iii) determining the appropriate historical periods to utilize and the relative weighting of those historical periods in the forecast model, and (iv) incorporating secondary streams. The Company then considers the appropriate application of the quantitative assessment given forecasted content use, expected content investment and market trends. Content use and future revenues may differ from estimates based on changes in expectations related to market acceptance, network affiliate fee rates, advertising demand, the number of cable and satellite television subscribers receiving the Company’s networks, the number of subscribers to its digital services, and program usage. Accordingly, the Company continually reviews its estimates and planned usage and revises its assumptions if necessary. Any material adjustments from the Company’s review of the amortization rates for assets in film groups are applied prospectively in the period of the change.
Unamortized film costs are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film (or television program) predominately monetized on its own, or a film group, may be less than its unamortized costs. In addition, a change in the predominant monetization strategy is considered a triggering event for impairment testing before a title is accounted for as part of a film group. If the carrying value of an individual feature film or television program, or film group, exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge will be recorded in the amount of the difference. For content that is predominately monetized individually, we utilize estimates including ultimate revenues and additional costs to be incurred (including exploitation and participation costs), in order to determine whether the carrying value of a film or television program is impaired.
Game development costs are expensed as incurred before the applicable games reach technological feasibility, or for online hosted arrangements, before the preliminary project phase is complete and it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Upon release, the capitalized game development costs are amortized based on the proportion of the game’s revenues recognized for such period to the game’s total current and anticipated revenues. Unamortized capitalized game production and development costs are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated amortization, or net realizable value and reported in “Film and television content rights and games, net” on the consolidated balance sheets.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised primarily of DVDs, Blu-ray Discs and game units and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Cost is determined using the average cost method for the majority of our inventory, with the remaining inventory valued using the standard cost method, which approximates average cost. Returned goods included in inventory are valued at estimated realizable value, but not in excess of cost. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for excess and obsolete inventory. The Company's inventory consisted of the following (in millions).

Defined Benefit Plan
The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan covering certain employees. Defined benefit plan obligations are based on various assumptions used by our actuaries in calculating these amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, compensation rate increases, expected return on plan assets, retirement rates and mortality rates. Actual results that differ from the assumptions and changes in assumptions could affect future expenses and obligations.

Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements Adopted
LIBOR
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance providing optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions associated with the expected market transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is for March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may not be applied to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The Company applied the relevant provisions of the guidance to hedge relationships that were subsequently terminated in the first quarter of 2022.
Convertible Instruments
In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This guidance amends the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions, requires the use of the if-converted method for calculating earnings per share for convertible instruments, and makes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and related earnings per share guidance. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2022, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements Not Adopted
Government Assistance
In November 2021, the FASB issued guidance requiring disclosure for transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other guidance. The annual disclosures include terms and conditions, accounting treatment and impacted financial statement lines reflecting the impact of the transactions. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In connection with the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Discovery Series A common stock, Discovery Series B common stock, and Discovery Series C common stock, was reclassified and automatically converted into one share of WBD common stock, and each issued and outstanding share of Discovery Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (“Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and Series C-1 convertible preferred stock was reclassified and automatically converted into 13.1135 and 19.3648 shares of WBD common stock, respectively.
The Merger required the consent of Advance/Newhouse Programming Partnership under Discovery's certificate of incorporation as the sole holder of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In connection with Advance/Newhouse Programming Partnership’s entry into the consent agreement and related forfeiture of the significant rights attached to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in the reclassification of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into common stock, it received an increase to the number of shares of common stock of the Company into which the Series A-1 Preferred Stock converted. The impact of the issuance of such additional shares of common stock was $789 million and was recorded as a transaction expense in selling, general and administrative expense upon the closing of the Merger.
On April 8, 2022, the Company issued 1.7 billion shares of WBD Series A common stock as consideration paid for the acquisition of WM. (See Note 3).
Earnings Per Share
All share and per share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reclassification and automatic conversion into WBD common stock, except for Series A-1 Preferred Stock, which has not been recast because the conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into WBD common stock in connection with the Merger was considered a discrete event and treated prospectively.
The table below sets forth the Company's calculated earnings per share. Earnings per share amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisitions
WarnerMedia
On April 8, 2022, the Company completed its Merger with the WarnerMedia Business of AT&T. The Merger was executed through a Reverse Morris Trust type transaction, under which WM was distributed to AT&T’s shareholders via a pro-rata distribution, and immediately thereafter, combined with Discovery. Discovery was deemed to be the accounting acquirer of WM.
The Merger combined WM’s content library of popular and valuable intellectual property with Discovery’s global footprint, collection of local-language content and deep regional expertise across more than 220 countries and territories. The Company expects this broad, worldwide portfolio of brands, coupled with its DTC potential and the attractiveness of the combined assets, to result in increased market penetration globally. The Merger is also expected to create significant cost synergies for the Company.

Purchase Price
The following table summarizes the components of the aggregate purchase consideration paid to acquire WM (in millions) and is subject to adjustments.

$42,309 
Estimated fair value of share-based compensation awards attributable to pre-combination services (2)

Settlement of preexisting relationships (3)
(27)
Preliminary purchase consideration $42,376 
(1) The fair value of WBD common stock issued to AT&T shareholders represents approximately 1,732 million shares of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the closing share price for Discovery Series A common stock of $24.43 on the Nasdaq on the Closing Date. The number of shares of WBD common stock issued in the Merger was determined based on the number of fully diluted shares of Discovery, Inc. common stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, multiplied by the quotient of 71%/29%.
(2) This amount represents the value of AT&T restricted stock unit awards that were not vested and were replaced by WBD restricted stock unit awards with similar terms and conditions as the original AT&T awards. The conversion was based on the ratio of the volume-weighted average per share closing price of AT&T common stock on the ten trading days prior to the Closing Date and the volume-weighted average per share closing price of WBD common stock on the ten trading days following the Closing Date. The fair value of replacement equity-based awards attributable to pre-Merger service was recorded as part of the consideration transferred in the Merger. See Note 14 for additional information.
(3) The amount represents the effective settlement of outstanding payables and receivables between the Company and WM. No gain or loss was recognized upon settlement as amounts were determined to be reflective of fair market value.
Balances reflect rounding of dollar and share amounts to millions, which may result in differences for recalculated standalone amounts compared with the amounts presented above.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting to WM, whereby the excess of the fair value of the purchase price paid over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill reflects the assembled workforce of WM as well as revenue enhancements, cost savings and operating synergies that are expected to result from the Merger. The goodwill recorded as part of the Merger has been provisionally allocated to the Studios, Networks and DTC reportable segments in the amount of $8,912 million, $7,016 million and $5,585 million, respectively, and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change. The Company is still evaluating the fair value of film and television library, intangible assets, and income taxes, in addition to ensuring all other assets and liabilities and contingencies have been identified and recorded. The Company has estimated the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on information currently available and will continue to adjust those estimates as additional information pertaining to events or circumstances present at the Closing Date becomes available during the measurement period. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments, if any, in the period in which the adjustments occur, and the Company will finalize its accounting for the Merger within one year of the Closing Date. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and a reconciliation to total consideration transferred is presented in the table below (in millions).

The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using the income, cost, and market approaches. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, such as discounted cash flow analyses, and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. Significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow analyses and other areas of judgment include (i) historical and projected financial information, (ii) discount rates used to present value future cash flows, (iii) royalty rates, (iv) number of renewals for affiliate contracts, (v) synergies, including cost savings, (vi) tax rates, (vii) economic useful life of assets, and (viii) attrition rates, as relevant, that market participants would consider when estimating fair values. The following are the preliminary fair value approaches followed:

Impairment Analysis
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment for all reporting units in conjunction with the change in its segment presentation, and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of those reporting units exceeded their carrying values; therefore, no quantitative goodwill impairment analysis was performed.

Reserves for Credit Losses
Reserves for accounts receivable reflect expected credit losses, which are estimated based on historical experience, as well as current and expected economic conditions and industry trends. The allowance for credit losses was $138 million at June 30, 2022 and $54 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of existing WM receivables in the Merger with WM. The corresponding expense for the expected credit losses is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
A contract asset is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of the Company's right to bill and receive consideration and that right is conditioned upon something other than the passage of time. A contract liability, such as deferred revenue, is recorded when the Company has recorded billings in conjunction with its contractual right or when cash is received in advance of the Company's performance.

WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The change in deferred revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily reflects an increase of $1,476 million related to the Merger and cash payments received for which the performance obligation was not satisfied prior to the end of the period, partially offset by $347 million of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2021. Revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2020 was $162 million.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
Most of the Company's distribution contracts are licenses of functional intellectual property where revenue is derived from royalty-based arrangements, for which the guidance allows the application of a practical expedient to record revenues as a function of royalties earned to date instead of estimating incremental royalty contract revenue. Accordingly, in these instances revenue is recognized based upon the royalties earned to date. However, there are certain other distribution arrangements that are fixed price or contain minimum guarantees that extend beyond one year. The Company recognizes revenue for fixed fee distribution contracts on a monthly basis based on minimum monthly fees; by calculating one twelfth of annual license fees specified in its distribution contracts; or based on the pro-rata fees earned calculated on the license fees specified in the distribution contract. The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations within these fixed price or minimum guarantee distribution revenue contracts was $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over the next seven years.
The Company's content licensing contracts and sports sublicensing deals are licenses of functional intellectual property. The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations on these contracts was $5.2 billion as of June 30, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over the next seven years.
The Company's brand licensing contracts are licenses of symbolic intellectual property. The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations on these contracts was $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over the next 21 years.
The Company's advertising contracts are principally generated from the sale of advertising campaigns comprised of multiple commercial units. In contracts with guaranteed impressions, we have identified the overall advertising campaign as the performance obligation to be satisfied over time, and impressions delivered against the satisfaction of our guarantee as the measure of progress. Certain of these arrangements extend beyond one year. The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations on these long-term contracts was $595 million as of June 30, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over the next three years.
The value of unsatisfied performance obligations disclosed above does not include: (i) contracts involving variable consideration for which revenues are recognized in accordance with the sales or usage-based royalty exception, and (ii) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, such as most advertising contracts; however for content licensing revenues, including revenues associated with the licensing of theatrical and television product for television and streaming services, the Company has included all contracts regardless of duration.
NOTE 7. SALES OF RECEIVABLES
Revolving Receivables Program
The Company has a revolving agreement to transfer up to $6,000 million of certain receivables through its bankruptcy-remote subsidiary Warner Bros. Discovery Receivables Funding, LLC to various financial institutions on a recurring basis in exchange for cash equal to the gross receivables transferred. The Company services sold receivables for a fee and pays fees to the financial institution in connection with this revolving agreement. This agreement is subject to renewal on an annual basis and the transfer limit may be expanded from time to time. As customers pay their balances the Company’s available capacity under this revolving agreement increases and typically the Company transfers additional receivables into the program. Our bankruptcy-remote consolidated subsidiary held $1,287 million of cash and $1,838 million of pledged receivables as of June 30, 2022 in connection with this revolving agreement. The gross value of the proceeds received results in derecognition of receivables and the obligations assumed are recorded at fair value. The obligation is subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated expected credit losses and interest rates, which are considered Level 3 fair value measurements since the inputs are unobservable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has recognized a $41 million net loss in selling, general and administrative expense from the revolving receivables program in the consolidated statements of operations. The outstanding portfolio of receivables derecognized from our consolidated balance sheets was $5,700 million as of June 30, 2022.

Accounts Receivable Factoring
The Company has a factoring agreement to sell certain of its non-U.S. trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to a third-party financial institution. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales in accordance with ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing", when its continuing involvement subsequent to the transfer is limited to providing certain servicing and collection actions on behalf of the purchaser of the designated trade accounts receivable. Proceeds from amounts factored are recorded as an increase to cash and cash equivalents and a reduction to receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash received is also reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring arrangements were $103 million as of June 30, 2022. The impact to the consolidated statements of operations was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. This accounts receivable factoring agreement is separate and distinct from the revolving receivables program.

Equity Method Investments
Investments in equity method investees are those for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary or the entity is not a VIE and the Company does not have a controlling financial interest. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company acquired $671 million of equity method investments. Impairment losses are recorded in loss from equity investees, net on the consolidated statements of operations. Impairment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were not material.
Certain of the Company's other equity method investments are VIEs, for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s maximum exposure for all of its unconsolidated VIEs, including the investment carrying values and unfunded contractual commitments made on behalf of VIEs, was approximately $810 million. The Company's maximum estimated exposure excludes the non-contractual future funding of VIEs. The aggregate carrying values of these VIE investments were $772 million as of June 30, 2022 and $126 million as of December 31, 2021. VIE gains and losses are recorded in loss from equity investees, net on the consolidated statements of operations, and were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Investments with Readily Determinable Fair Value
Investments in entities or other securities in which the Company has no control or significant influence, is not the primary beneficiary, and have a readily determinable fair value are classified as equity investments with readily determinable fair value. The investments are measured at fair value based on a quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs (Level 1). Gains and losses are recorded in other (expense) income, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
The gains and losses related to the Company's investments with readily determinable fair values for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are summarized in the table below (in millions).

Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Programs
In June 2021, DCL entered into a multicurrency revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), replacing the existing $2.5 billion credit agreement, dated February 4, 2016, as amended. Following the Merger, DCL has the capacity to borrow up to $6.0 billion under the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Agreement includes a $150 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. DCL may also request additional commitments up to $1 billion from the lenders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are unsecured and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, Scripps Networks, and WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc. The Credit Facility will be available on a revolving basis until June 2026, with an option for up to two additional 364-day renewal periods subject to the lenders' consent. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants.
Additionally, the Company's commercial paper program is supported by the Credit Facility. Under the commercial paper program, the Company may issue up to $1.5 billion, including up to $500 million of euro-denominated borrowings. Borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is effectively reduced by any outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility or the commercial paper program.
Credit Agreement Financial Covenants
The Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement (together, the “Credit Agreements”) include financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a maximum adjusted consolidated leverage ratio of 5.75 to 1.00 following the closing of the Merger, with step-downs to 5.00 to 1.00 and 4.50 to 1.00 on the first and second anniversaries of the closing, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, DCL and WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc. were in compliance with all covenants and there were no events of default under the Credit Agreements.

NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to modify its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not enter into or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
On January 1, 2022, the Company discontinued hedge accounting for certain forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2 billion. The Company previously recognized a gain of $33 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss that will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense, net over the respective terms of future issuances of debt. Subsequently, the Company unwound and settled the contracts and received cash of $122 million, including an $89 million realized gain for changes in fair market value between the dedesignation date and settlement date that was recognized in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with the Merger, the Company acquired two cash flow hedging programs to mitigate foreign currency risk including $922 million notional of production expense hedges and $776 million notional of production rebate hedges. These cash flow hedging programs are carried at fair market value using the spot method, with fair market value changes recorded in other comprehensive income until the production airs. Excluded components of the fair market value, including forward points, are included in current earnings.
Net Investment Hedges
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company unwound and settled certain fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with a total notional value of $705 million associated with the Company's Euro functional subsidiaries. The Company recognized a realized gain of $10 million related to the excluded component of the hedge relationship in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations, and recognized a gain of $6 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Also during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company executed cross currency swaps with a notional value of $664 million with expiration dates in 2025 to replace the aforementioned swaps that matured.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company unwound and settled certain cross-currency swaps with a total notional value of $2 billion and recorded a gain of $78 million.
In connection with the Merger, the company also acquired $173 million of Euro denominated debt that is designated as a net investment hedge with all fair market value changes accounted for as currency translation adjustments.
No Hedging Designation
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company dedesignated, unwound and settled forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $5.0 billion, swaption collars with a total notional value of $2.5 billion, and purchase payer swaptions with a total notional value of $7.5 billion. The Company received cash of $474 million upon settlement, including $142 million in premiums paid at execution during 2021, resulting in a gain of $332 million that was recognized in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in the following three categories:
Level 1Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3Valuations derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

Equity securities include money market funds, time deposits, investments in mutual funds held in separate trusts, which are owned as part of the Company's supplemental retirement plans, and company-owned life insurance contracts. The fair value of Level 1 equity securities was determined by reference to the quoted market price per share in active markets multiplied by the number of shares held without consideration of transaction costs. The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability was determined based on the fair value of the related investments elected by employees. Changes in the fair value of the investments are recorded in other (expense) income, net and changes in the deferred compensation liability are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. Company-owned life insurance contracts are recorded at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair value (Level 2).
In addition to the financial instruments listed in the tables above, the Company has other financial instruments, including cash deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable, term loans, and senior notes. The carrying values for such financial instruments, other than the senior notes, each approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding senior notes using quoted prices from over-the-counter markets, considered Level 2 inputs, was $42.1 billion and $17.2 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Income tax benefit was $836 million and $635 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and income tax expense was $2 million and $108 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease in pre-tax book income, partially offset by an unfavorable tax adjustment related to the preferred stock conversion transaction expense discussed in Note 2, which was not deductible for tax purposes, and a deferred tax benefit of $162 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the UK Finance Act 2021 that was enacted in June 2021.

Income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects an effective income tax rate that differs from the federal statutory tax rate primarily attributable to the effect of foreign operations, which included taxation and allocation of income and losses among multiple foreign jurisdictions, state and local income taxes, and the non-tax deductible preferred stock conversion transaction expense discussed above.
On April 8, 2022, the Company completed its merger with the WM business. In connection with the merger, the Company entered into a tax matters agreement (“TMA”) with AT&T. Pursuant to the TMA, the Company is responsible for tax liabilities related to the periods prior to AT&T's ownership of the business (June 14, 2018), and AT&T is responsible for tax liabilities related to the period for which they owned the business (June 15, 2018 through April 8, 2022). The Company is fully indemnified by AT&T for any tax liabilities arising for the period June 15, 2018 through April 8, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions and the associated interest and penalties payable related to WM of $860 million and $187 million, respectively, through purchase accounting. Indemnification receivables of $286 million were also recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
With respect to uncertain tax positions related to jurisdictions that have joint and several liability among members of the AT&T tax filing group during the AT&T ownership period, the Company recognizes only the amount they expect to pay to the taxing authorities after considering the contractual indemnification agreement with AT&T and AT&T’s ability to settle any disputed positions with the taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or indemnification receivables related to matters that were attributable to jurisdictions that have joint and several liability among members of the AT&T filing group since AT&T was determined to be the primary obligor.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's reserves for uncertain tax positions totaled $1,386 million and $420 million, respectively. The increase in the reserve for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to the Merger. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to certain of the Company's uncertain tax positions could decrease by as much as $256 million within the next twelve months as a result of ongoing audits, lapses of statutes of limitations or regulatory developments.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued approximately $258 million and $60 million, respectively, of total interest and penalties payable related to unrecognized tax benefits. The increase in the accrual for interest and penalties payable at June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to the Merger. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
NOTE 16. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan that covers certain U.S.-based employees and a non-qualified unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan that provides defined pension benefits to eligible executives. In connection with the Merger, the Company also assumed four additional U.S. nonqualified pension plans that are noncontributory and unfunded and several non-U.S. pension plans. The four U.S. plans consist of the Time Warner Excess Benefit Plan (the “Excess plan”), the Retirement Accumulation Plan (“RAP”), the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and the Wealth Accumulation Plan (“WAP”) (together, the “U.S. Nonqualified Plans”). The U.S. Nonqualified Plans were closed to new entrants during 2010. The Excess plan and RAP are both frozen to new benefit accruals. SERP and WAP only have retirees remaining. The pension formula for the Excess plan captured pay above compensation limits or benefit limits. RAP is a cash balance type formula and now provides only interest credits.
The Company also holds net assets and net liabilities on behalf of other U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans. The plan provisions vary by plan and by country. Some of these plans are unfunded and all are noncontributory.
Obligations and Funded Status
For all of the acquired defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation, the actuarial present value, as of our April 8, 2022 measurement date, of all benefits attributed by the pension benefit formula to employee service rendered to that date. The amount of benefits to be paid depends on a number of future events incorporated into the pension benefit formula, including estimates of the average life of employees and their beneficiaries and average years of service rendered. It is measured based on assumptions concerning future interest rates and future employee compensation levels, as applicable.
The unfunded status of the acquired U.S. Nonqualified Plans as of April 8, 2022 was a liability of $278 million. The unfunded status represents a pension benefit obligation of $278 million, with no plan assets. The funded status of the acquired non-U.S. pension plans as of April 8, 2022 was a net asset of $146 million. The funded status represents a pension benefit obligation of $659 million less the fair value of the plan assets of $805 million.

NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various commitments, which primarily include programming, film licensing, talent arrangements and other agreements, operating and finance leases (see Note 11), arrangements to purchase various goods and services, long-term debt (see Note 10) and future funding commitments to equity method investees (in millions).

Content purchase obligations include commitments and liabilities associated with third-party producers and sports associations for content that airs on our television networks. Production contracts generally require purchase of a specified number of episodes, and/or payments over the term of the license, and include both programs that have been delivered and are available for airing and programs that have not yet been produced or sporting events that have not yet taken place. If the content is ultimately never produced, our commitments expire without obligation. The commitments disclosed above exclude content liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
Other purchase obligations include agreements with certain vendors and suppliers for the purchase of goods and services whereby the underlying agreements are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms. Significant purchase obligations include transmission services, television rating services, marketing commitments and research, equipment purchases, and information technology and other services. Some of these contracts do not require the purchase of fixed or minimum quantities and generally may be terminated with a 30-day to 60-day advance notice without penalty, and are not included in the table above past the 30-day to 60-day advance notice period.
Other purchase obligations also include future funding commitments to equity method investees. Although the Company had funding commitments to equity method investees as of June 30, 2022, the Company may also provide uncommitted additional funding to its equity method investments in the future. (See Note 9.)
Pension and other employee obligations include payments to meet minimum funding requirements of our pension plans in 2022, estimated benefit payments for our SERP that exceed plan assets, and employment agreements primarily with creative talent for the WM broadcast networks. Payments for the SERP have been estimated over a ten-year period. While benefit payments under these plans are expected to continue beyond 2031, we believe it is not practicable to estimate payments beyond this period. (See Note 16.)
Six Flags Guarantee
In connection with WM’s former investment in the Six Flags (as defined below) theme parks located in Georgia and Texas (collectively, the “Parks”), in 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company agreed to guarantee (the “Six Flags Guarantee”) certain obligations of the partnerships that hold the Parks (the “Partnerships”) for the benefit of the limited partners in such Partnerships, including, annual payments made to the Parks or to the limited partners and additional obligations at the end of the respective terms for the Partnerships in 2027 and 2028 (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The aggregate gross undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the Six Flags Guarantee over the remaining term (through 2028) are $544 million. To date, no payments have been made by us pursuant to the Six Flags Guarantee.
39


WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly known as Six Flags, Inc. and Premier Parks Inc.) (“Six Flags”), which has the controlling interest in the Parks, has agreed, pursuant to a subordinated indemnity agreement (the “Subordinated Indemnity Agreement”), to guarantee the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations when due and to indemnify the Company, among others, if the Six Flags Guarantee is called upon. If Six Flags defaults on its indemnification obligations, we have the right to acquire control of the managing partner of the Parks. Six Flags’ obligations to us are further secured by its interest in all limited partnership units held by Six Flags.
Based on our evaluation of the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Guaranteed Obligations and the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, the Company is unable to predict the loss, if any, that may be incurred under the Guaranteed Obligations, and no liability for the arrangements has been recognized as of June 30, 2022. Because of the specific circumstances surrounding the arrangements, and the fact that no active or observable market exists for this type of financial guarantee, the Company is unable to determine a current fair value for the Guaranteed Obligations and related Subordinated Indemnity Agreement.
Contingencies
Other Contingent Commitments
Other contingent commitments primarily include contingent payments for post-production term advance obligations on certain co-financing arrangements, as well as operating lease commitment guarantees, letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds, which generally support performance and payments for a wide range of global contingent and firm obligations, including insurance, litigation appeals, real estate leases and other operational needs.
The Company's other contingent commitments at June 30, 2022 were $258 million, with $251 million estimated due in 2026. For other contingent commitments where payment obligations are outside our control, the timing of amounts represents the earliest period in which the payment could be requested. For the remaining other contingent commitments, the timing of amounts presented represents when the maximum contingent commitment will expire but does not mean that we expect to incur an obligation to make any payments within that time period. In addition, these amounts do not reflect the effects of any indemnification rights we might possess.
Put Rights
The Company has granted put rights to non-controlling interest holders in certain consolidated subsidiaries.
Legal Matters
From time to time, in the normal course of its operations, the Company is subject to various litigation matters and claims, including claims related to employees, vendors, other business partners or patent issues. However, a determination as to the amount of the accrual required for such contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgment about future events. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and the impact of the final resolution of these matters on the Company's results of operations in a particular subsequent reporting period is not known, management does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's future consolidated financial position, future results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 20. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Company’s operating segments are determined based on: (i) financial information reviewed by its chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), (ii) internal management and related reporting structure, and (iii) the basis upon which the CEO makes resource allocation decisions. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company reevaluated and changed its segment presentation and reportable segments during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we classified our operations in three reportable segments: Studios, primarily consisting of the production and release of feature films for initial exhibition in theaters, production and initial licensing of television programs to third parties and our networks/DTC services, distribution of our films and television programs to various third party and internal television and streaming services, distribution through the home entertainment market (physical and digital), related consumer products and themed experience licensing, and interactive gaming; Networks, consisting primarily of our domestic and international television networks; and DTC, consisting primarily of our premium pay TV and digital content services. Goodwill was reallocated to the new segments based on relative fair value. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Company’s, except that certain inter-segment transactions that are eliminated for consolidation are not eliminated at the segment level. Inter-segment transactions primarily include advertising and content licenses. The Company records inter-segment transactions of content licenses at the gross amount. Prior year amounts have been recast to reflect the current presentation. The Company does not report assets by segment because it is not used to allocate resources or evaluate segment performance.

WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company evaluates the operating performance of its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income excluding:
employee share-based compensation;
depreciation and amortization;
restructuring, facility consolidation, and other charges;
certain impairment charges;
gains and losses on business and asset dispositions;
certain inter-segment eliminations;
third-party transaction and integration costs;
amortization of purchase accounting fair value step-up for content;
amortization of capitalized interest for content; and
other items impacting comparability.
The Company uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of its segments, perform analytical comparisons, identify strategies to improve performance, and allocate resources to each segment. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of each segment using the same metric management uses. The Company excludes employee share-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, certain impairment charges, gains and losses on business and asset dispositions, and transaction and integration costs from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA due to their impact on comparability between periods. The Company also excludes the depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, amortization of purchase accounting fair value step-up for content, and amortization of capitalized interest for content, as these amounts do not represent cash payments in the current reporting period. Certain corporate expenses and inter-segment eliminations related to production studios are excluded from segment results to enable executive management to evaluate segment performance based upon the decisions of segment executives. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not a substitute for, operating income, net income, and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The tables below present summarized financial information for each of the Company's reportable segments and corporate, and inter-segment eliminations (in millions).

Pictures, Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Games, New Line Cinema, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Turner Classic Movies, Discovery en Español, Hogar de HGTV and others.
In conjunction with the Merger, the Company reevaluated and changed its segment presentation and reportable segments for the quarter ending June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we classified our operations in three reportable segments:
Studios, consisting primarily of the production and release of feature films for initial exhibition in theaters, production and initial licensing of television programs to third parties and our networks/DTC services, distribution of our films and television programs to various third party and internal television and streaming services, distribution through the home entertainment market (physical and digital), related consumer products and themed experience licensing, and interactive gaming;
Networks, consisting principally of our domestic and international television networks; and
DTC, consisting primarily of our premium pay TV and digital content services.
Our segment presentation aligned with our management structure and the financial information management uses to make decisions about operating matters, such as the allocation of resources and business performance assessments. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we exited our operations in Russia and removed all of our channels and services from the market. We do not expect these actions will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19
We continue to closely monitor the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and geographies, including the impact on our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, distribution and advertising partners, production facilities, and various other third parties. Certain key sources of revenue for WM, including theatrical revenues, television production, studio operations and themed entertainment, have been adversely impacted by governmentally imposed shutdowns and related labor interruptions and constraints on consumer activity, particularly in the context of public entertainment venues, such as cinemas and theme parks.
The nature and full extent of COVID-19’s effects on our operations and results are not yet known and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity and the extent of future variants or surges of COVID-19, vaccine distribution and efficacy and other actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. Our consolidated financial statements reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion below compares our actual and pro forma combined results, as if the Merger occurred on January 1, 2021, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Management believes reviewing our pro forma combined operating results in addition to actual operating results is useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of our businesses. Our combined Studios, Networks, DTC, Corporate, and inter-segment eliminations pro forma information is based on the historical operating results of the respective segments and includes adjustments in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X to illustrate the effects of the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined results include, where applicable, adjustments for (i) additional costs of revenues from the fair value step up of film and television library, (ii) additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, (iii) additional depreciation expense from the fair value of property and equipment, (iv) adjustments for transaction costs and other one-time non-recurring costs, (v) changes to align accounting policies, and (vi) adjustments to eliminate intercompany activity.
Adjustments do not include costs related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved by the combined business. Pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what our results would have been had we operated the combined businesses since January 1, 2021 and should not be taken as indicative of the Company's future consolidated results of operations.
Actual amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 include results of operations for Discovery for the entire period and WM for the period subsequent to the completion of the Merger on April 8, 2022.
Foreign Exchange Impacting Comparability
In addition to the Merger, the impact of exchange rates on our business is an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons of our results. For example, our international revenues are favorably impacted as the U.S. dollar weakens relative to other foreign currencies, and unfavorably impacted as the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to other foreign currencies. We believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis (“ex-FX”), in addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) provides useful information about our operating performance because the presentation ex-FX excludes the effects of foreign currency volatility and highlights our core operating results. The presentation of results on a constant currency basis should be considered in addition to, but not a substitute for, measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The ex-FX change represents the percentage change on a period-over-period basis adjusted for foreign currency impacts. The ex-FX change is calculated as the difference between the current year amounts translated at a baseline rate, which is a spot rate for each of our currencies determined early in the fiscal year as part of our forecasting process (the “2022 Baseline Rate”), and the prior year amounts translated at the same 2022 Baseline Rate. In addition, consistent with the assumption of a constant currency environment, our ex-FX results exclude the impact of our foreign currency hedging activities, as well as realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(a) Prior year actual results have been recast to conform to the current period presentation as a result of the Merger and segment recast.
The discussion through operating income below is on a pro forma combined basis, ex-FX, since the actual increases year over year for revenues, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses and adjusted EBITDA are substantially attributable to the Merger.
Revenues
Advertising revenue is dependent upon a number of factors, including the stage of development of television markets, the number of subscribers to our channels, viewership demographics, the popularity of our content, our ability to sell commercial time over a group of channels, market demand, the mix in sales of commercial time between the upfront and scatter markets, and economic conditions. These factors impact the pricing and volume of our advertising inventory.
Advertising revenue increased 5% and 4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to increased sports advertising in the U.S., the launch of the HBO Max ad-supported tier product in June 2021, and subscriber growth at discovery+ ad-lite tier, partially offset by lower news, kids, and general entertainment performance in the U.S.
Distribution revenue consists principally of fees from affiliates for distributing our linear networks and DTC subscription services.
Distribution revenue was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and increased 3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. While distribution revenue was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decline in linear subscribers in the U.S. and lower contractual affiliate rates in some European markets were largely offset by an increase in U.S. contractual affiliate rates. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to global retail DTC subscriber gains at discovery+ and HBO Max, partially offset by lower domestic wholesale DTC subscribers at HBO Max due to the Amazon Channels expiration in September 2021.
46

Content revenue consists primarily of licensing feature films for initial theatrical exhibition, and licensing television programs for initial television broadcast or streaming; additionally, film and television content is licensed through distribution channels including international free-to-air, basic and premium pay television, television syndication, and further streaming services. Content revenue also includes home entertainment sales and rentals of film and television products (physical and digital, including premium video-on-demand, transactional video-on-demand and electronic sell-through), interactive entertainment sales (physical and digital) across various platforms, and consumer products and themed experience licensing.
Content revenue decreased 12% and increased 1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to the proportion of inter-segment licensing increasing as a percentage of total content revenue. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to higher third party international licensing of sports rights.
Other revenue increased 32% and 39% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to increased studio operations revenues from the reopening of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Revenue for our segments is discussed separately below under the heading “Segment Results of Operations.”
Costs of Revenues
The Company's principal component of costs of revenues is content expense. Content expense includes television series, television specials, films, sporting events, and digital products. The costs of producing a content asset and bringing that asset to market consist of production costs, participation costs, and exploitation costs.
Cost of revenues increased 12% and 8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to increased investments in DTC programming expenses, higher games and theatrical content expenses, and sports rights.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of employee costs, marketing costs, research costs, occupancy and back office support fees.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8% and decreased 2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily attributable to increased third-party transaction and integration costs related to the Merger and share-based compensation. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily attributable to lower marketing-related expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization decreased $214 million and $429 million, respectively, primarily attributable to a change in amortization method from the straight-line method to the sum of the years' digits method for some of the WM assets acquired.
Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges increased $937 million and $836 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to content impairments from a global strategic review of content and employee terminations related to cost reduction efforts and management changes as a result of the Merger. (See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)
Loss (Gain) on Disposition
Gain on disposition was $72 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and was primarily attributable to the sale of our Great American Country network. (See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $354 million and $344 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to assumed debt as a result of the Merger. (See Note 10 and Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)
Loss From Equity Investees, net
We reported losses from our equity method investees of $43 million and $57 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to losses of $7 million and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,respectively. The changes are attributable to our share of earnings and losses from our equity investees. (See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
Income tax benefit was $836 million and $635 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and income tax expense was $2 million and $108 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease in pre-tax book income. The decrease is partially offset by the unfavorable tax adjustment related to the preferred stock conversion transaction expense discussed in Note 2 recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2022 that was not deductible for tax purposes and a deferred tax benefit of $162 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the UK Finance Act 2021 that was enacted in June 2021.
Income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects an effective income tax rate that differs from the federal statutory tax rate primarily attributable to the effect of foreign operations, which included taxation and allocation of income and losses among multiple foreign jurisdictions, state and local income taxes, and the non-tax deductible preferred stock conversion transaction expense discussed above.
Segment Results of Operations
The Company evaluates the operating performance of its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income excluding:
employee share-based compensation;
depreciation and amortization;
restructuring, facility consolidation, and other charges;
certain impairment charges;
gains and losses on business and asset dispositions;
certain inter-segment eliminations;
third-party transaction and integration costs;
amortization of purchase accounting fair value step-up for content;
amortization of capitalized interest for content; and
other items impacting comparability.
The Company uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of its segments, perform analytical comparisons, identify strategies to improve performance, and allocate resources to each segment. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant to investors because it allows them to analyze the operating performance of each segment using the same metric management uses. The Company excludes employee share-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, certain impairment charges, gains and losses on business and asset dispositions, and transaction and integration costs from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA due to their impact on comparability between periods. The Company also excludes the depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, amortization of purchase accounting fair value step-up for content, and amortization of capitalized interest for content, as these amounts do not represent cash payments in the current reporting period. Certain corporate expenses and inter-segment eliminations related to production studios are excluded from segment results to enable executive management to evaluate segment performance based upon the decisions of segment executives. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not a substitute for, operating income, net income, and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The discussion below is on a pro forma combined basis, ex-FX, since the actual increases year over year for revenues, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses and adjusted EBITDA are substantially attributable to the Merger.
Revenues
Content revenue increased 3% and 7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to higher games revenue with the release of LEGO Star Wars - The Skywalker Saga, partially offset by lower TV licensing, home entertainment and theatrical rental revenue. The decrease in TV licensing was primarily attributable to lower TV production revenue, partially offset by the timing of new series availabilities. Theatrical performance was unfavorably impacted by the timing of releases, and home entertainment across theatrical and television product was lower due to strong COVID-induced demand in the prior year quarter.
The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to higher theatrical film rental revenue and TV licensing revenue, partly offset by lower home entertainment revenue. Theatrical performance was favorably impacted by performance of The Batman, which was released in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in TV licensing revenue was primarily attributable to timing of availabilities across theatrical and television product, partially offset by lower TV production revenue.
Other revenue increased 56% and 62% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to increased studio operations revenues from the reopening of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of revenues increased 6% and 3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to higher games and theatrical content expense, partially offset by lower content expense for television products.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower marketing expenses due to fewer theatrical releases, partially offset by higher bad debt expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was flat and increased 46% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The discussion below is on a pro forma combined basis, ex-FX, since the actual increases year over year for revenues, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses and adjusted EBITDA are substantially attributable to the Merger.
Revenues
Advertising revenue increased 2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily attributable to increased sports advertising in the U.S., partially offset by lower news, kids, and general entertainment in the U.S. International networks were, in part, impacted by the sale of Chilevisión in September 2021.
Distribution revenue decreased 1% and was flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to a decline in linear subscribers in the U.S. and lower contractual affiliate rates in some European markets, partially offset by an increase in U.S. contractual affiliate rates.
Content revenue increased 11% and 46% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to higher inter-segment licensing of digital content. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to higher third party international licensing of sports rights, mainly related to Olympic sports rights to broadcast networks throughout Europe.
Other revenue increased 6% and 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Costs of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased 14% and 15% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to higher sports rights and content expense.
54

Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as higher marketing expenses were offset by cost synergies, and increased 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily attributable to higher marketing offset by cost synergies.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 11% and 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The discussion below is on a pro forma combined basis, ex-FX, since the actual increases year over year for revenues, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses and adjusted EBITDA are substantially attributable to the Merger.
Revenues
As of June 30, 2022, we had 92 million core DTC subscribers.1
Advertising revenue increased $61 million and $123 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to the launch of the HBO Max ad-supported tier in June 2021 and subscriber growth on the discovery+ ad-lite tier.
Distribution revenue increased 1% and 8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to global retail subscriber gains at discovery+ and HBO Max that were largely offset by lower domestic wholesale subscribers resulting from the Amazon Channels expiration in September 2021 for HBO Max.
Content revenue increased 5% and 47% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to higher licensing of HBO Max content to third parties.
1 We define a “Core DTC Subscription” as:
a) a retail subscription to discovery+, HBO or HBO Max for which we have recognized subscription revenue, whether directly or through a third party, from a direct-to-consumer platform; b) a wholesale subscription to discovery+, HBO, or HBO Max for which we have recognized subscription revenue from a fixed-fee arrangement with a third party and where the individual user has activated their subscription; and c) a wholesale subscription to discovery+, HBO or HBO Max for which we have recognized subscription revenue on a per subscriber basis.
We may refer to the aggregate number of Core DTC Subscriptions as “subscribers.”
The reported number of “subscribers” included herein and the definition of “Core DTC Subscription” as used herein excludes:
a) individuals who subscribe to DTC products, other than discovery+, HBO and HBO Max, that may be offered by us or by certain joint venture partners or affiliated parties from time to time; b) a limited number of international discovery+ subscribers that are part of non-strategic partnerships or short-term arrangements as may be identified by the Company from time to time (such subscribers may also be referred to as “non-core” subscribers); c) domestic, and international Cinemax subscribers, and international basic HBO subscribers; and d) users on free trials.
56

Costs of Revenues
Costs of revenues increased 33% and 34% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to increased investments in programming expenses to support existing platforms and new market launches.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to more efficient and measured marketing-related spend to support discovery+ and HBO Max.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $338 million and $451 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Corporate operations primarily consist of executive management, administrative support services, substantially all of our share-based compensation, and third-party transaction and integration costs.
As reported transaction and integration costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included the impact of the issuance of additional shares of common stock to Advance/Newhouse Programming Partnership of $789 million upon the closing of the Merger.

Inter-segment revenue and expense eliminations primarily represent inter-segment content transactions and marketing and promotion activity between reportable segments. In our current segment structure, in certain instances, production and distribution activities are in different segments. Inter-segment content transactions are presented “gross” (i.e. the segment producing and/or licensing the content reports revenue and profit from inter-segment transactions in a manner similar to the reporting of third-party transactions, and the required eliminations are reported on the separate “Eliminations” line when presenting our summary of segment results). Generally, timing of revenue recognition is similar to the reporting of third-party transactions. The segment distributing the content, e.g. via our DTC or linear services, capitalizes the cost of inter-segment content transactions, including “mark-ups” and amortizes the costs over the shorter of the license term, if applicable, or the expected period of use. The content amortization expense related to the inter-segment profit is also eliminated on the separate “Eliminations” line when presenting our summary of segment results.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity
Sources of Cash
Historically, we have generated a significant amount of cash from operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we funded our working capital needs primarily through cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2022, we had $2.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand. We are a well-known seasoned issuer and have the ability to conduct registered offerings of securities, including debt securities, common stock, and preferred stock, on short notice, subject to market conditions. Access to sufficient capital from the public market is not assured. As of June 30, 2022, we also have a $6.0 billion revolving credit facility and a $1.5 billion commercial paper program, as described below. In connection with the Merger, we incurred a substantial amount of additional third-party indebtedness, which has significantly increased our future financial commitments, including aggregate interest payments.
Debt
Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper
In June 2021, Discovery Communications, LLC (“DCL”) entered into a multicurrency revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), replacing the existing $2.5 billion credit agreement, dated February 4, 2016, as amended. DCL has the capacity to borrow up to $6.0 billion under the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Agreement includes a $150 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. DCL may also request additional commitments up to $1 billion from the lenders upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are unsecured and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (“Scripps Networks”), and WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc. The Credit Facility will be available on a revolving basis until June 2026, with an option for up to two additional 364-day renewal periods subject to the lenders' consent. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2022, DCL was in compliance with all covenants and there were no events of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Additionally, our commercial paper program is supported by the Credit Facility. Under the commercial paper program, we may issue up to $1.5 billion, including up to $500 million of euro-denominated borrowings. Borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is effectively reduced by any outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we borrowed and repaid $90 million under our commercial paper program. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility or the commercial paper program.
Derivatives
We received investing proceeds of $720 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the unwind and settlement of derivative instruments. (See Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)
Investments and Business Combinations
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we completed the sale of our minority interest in Discovery Education and received cash of $138 million.
In addition, we acquired $2.4 billion of cash in conjunction with the Merger.
Uses of Cash
Our primary uses of cash include the creation and acquisition of new content, business acquisitions, income taxes, personnel costs, costs to develop and market HBO Max and discovery+, principal and interest payments on our outstanding senior notes, funding for various equity method and other investments, and repurchases of our capital stock.
Content Acquisition
We plan to continue to invest significantly in the creation and acquisition of new content. Subsequent to the Merger, contractual commitments to acquire content have increased significantly compared to our commitments as set forth in “Material Cash Requirements from Known Contractual and Other Obligations” in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K. (See Note 19 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)
59

Debt
Term Loan
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $3.5 billion of aggregate principal amount outstanding of its term loans due October 2023 and April 2025.
Senior Notes
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repaid in full at maturity $327 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 2.375% Euro Denominated Senior Notes due March 2022. In addition, we have $106 million, $796 million, and $192 million of senior notes coming due in February, March, and April 2023, respectively.
In anticipation of the Merger, WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc., formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T, entered into a $10 billion term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) and issued $30 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The proceeds were used to fund the cash payments to AT&T and to otherwise fund the Merger and pay fees and expenses. Upon completion of the Merger, AT&T was released from all obligations and the debt was unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by WBD and each wholly owned domestic subsidiary of WBD that is a borrower or considered a subsidiary guarantor under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or the Revolving Credit Agreement, and will rank equally with all of the Company's other unsecured senior debt.
On a consolidated basis, we also assumed an additional $1.5 billion of senior notes (at par value) issued by the WarnerMedia Business that existed prior to the Merger.
Capital Expenditures and Investments in Next Generation Initiatives
We effected capital expenditures of $307 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, including amounts capitalized to support our next generation platforms, such as HBO Max and discovery+. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant costs to develop and market HBO Max and discovery+ streaming products in the future.
Investments and Business Combinations
Our uses of cash have included investments in equity method investments and equity investments without readily determinable fair value. (See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.) We also provide funding to our investees from time to time. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we contributed $109 million for investments in and advances to our investees.
We expect to incur significant, one-time transaction and integration costs during the first year following the Merger. (See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Noncontrolling Interest
Due to business combinations, we have redeemable equity balances of $328 million at June 30, 2022, which may require the use of cash in the event holders of noncontrolling interests put their interests to us. Distributions to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests totaled $264 million and $213 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Common Stock Repurchases
Historically, we have funded our stock repurchases through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and the issuance of debt. In February 2020, our Board of Directors authorized additional stock repurchases of up to $2 billion upon completion of our existing $1 billion repurchase authorization announced in May 2019. Under the new stock repurchase authorization, management is authorized to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases at prevailing prices or privately negotiated purchases subject to market conditions and other factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not repurchase any of our common stock.
Income Taxes and Interest
We expect to continue to make payments for income taxes and interest on our outstanding senior notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we made cash payments of $442 million and $390 million for income taxes and interest on our outstanding debt, respectively. We expect cash required for interest payments to increase significantly as a result of the Merger.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $1,334 million and $1,103 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in net income excluding non-cash items, partially offset by a negative fluctuation in working capital activity.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities was $2,880 million and $196 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds received from cash acquired during the Merger and from the unwind and settlement of derivative instruments, partially offset by a reduction in cash received from the sales and maturities of investments during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $4,157 million and $538 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to principal repayments made on our term loans and senior notes and an increase in distributions to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(a) Interest on the senior notes is paid annually or semi-annually. Our senior notes outstanding as of June 30, 2022 had interest rates that ranged from 1.82% to 9.15% and will mature between 2023 and 2062.
In anticipation of the Merger, WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc., formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T, entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement and issued $30 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The proceeds were used to fund the cash payments to AT&T and to otherwise fund the Merger and pay fees and expenses. Upon completion of the Merger, AT&T was released from all obligations and the debt was unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by WBD and each wholly owned domestic subsidiary of WBD that is a borrower or considered a subsidiary guarantor under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, and will rank equally with all of the Company's other unsecured senior debt.
On a consolidated basis, we also assumed an additional $1.5 billion of senior notes (at par value) issued by the WarnerMedia Business that existed prior to the Merger.

We expect that our cash balance, cash generated from operations and availability under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our cash needs for both the short-term and the long-term. Our borrowing costs and access to capital markets can be affected by short and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies which are based, in part, on our performance as measured by credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios.
As of June 30, 2022, we held $1.2 billion of our $2.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents in our foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 features a participation exemption regime with current taxation of certain foreign income and imposes a mandatory repatriation toll tax on unremitted foreign earnings. Notwithstanding the U.S. taxation of these amounts, we intend to continue to reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. Our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to the U.S. However, if these funds are needed in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay non-U.S. taxes to repatriate them. The determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability with respect to these undistributed foreign earnings is not practicable.

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in other public statements we may make, may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our business, marketing and operating strategies, integration of acquired businesses, new service offerings, financial prospects, anticipated sources and uses of capital and our recently completed acquisition of the WarnerMedia Business. Words such as “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “strategy,” “target” and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and “would,” among other terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be accomplished. The following is a list of some, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated:
the effects of our recently completed acquisition of the WarnerMedia Business;
63

changes in the distribution and viewing of television programming, including the continuing expanded deployment of personal video recorders, subscription video on demand, internet protocol television, mobile personal devices, personal tablets and user-generated content and their impact on television advertising revenue;
continued consolidation of distribution customers and production studios;
a failure to secure affiliate or distribution agreements or the renewal of such agreements or other wholesale subscription or bundled service arrangements on less favorable terms;
rapid technological changes;
the inability of advertisers or affiliates to remit payment to us in a timely manner or at all;
general economic and business conditions, including the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;
industry trends, including the timing of, and spending on, feature film, television and television commercial production;
spending on domestic and foreign television advertising;
disagreements with our distributors or other business partners over contract interpretation;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, political unrest and regulatory changes in international markets, including any proposed or adopted regulatory changes that impact the operations of our international media properties and/or modify the terms under which we offer our services and operate in international markets;
market demand for foreign first-run and existing content libraries;
the regulatory and competitive environment of the industries in which we, and the entities in which we have interests, operate;
uncertainties regarding the financial performance of our investments in unconsolidated entities;
our ability to complete, integrate, maintain and obtain the anticipated benefits and synergies from our proposed business combinations and acquisitions, including our recently completed acquisition of the WarnerMedia Business, on a timely basis or at all;
uncertainties associated with product and service development and market acceptance, including the development and provision of programming for new television and telecommunications technologies, and the success of our discovery+ and HBO Max streaming products;
realizing direct-to-consumer subscriber goals, including through the activation of subscriptions by subscribers receiving access through bundled services or other wholesale subscription arrangements;
future financial performance, including availability, terms, and deployment of capital;
inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of financial forecasts;
the ability of suppliers and vendors to deliver products, equipment, software, and services;
the outcome of any pending or threatened or potential litigation, including any litigation that has been or may be instituted against us relating to our recently completed acquisition of the WarnerMedia Business;
availability of qualified personnel and recruiting, motivating and retaining talent;
the possibility or duration of an industry-wide strike or other job action affecting a major entertainment industry union or others involved in the development and production of our television programming, feature films and interactive entertainment (e.g., games) who are covered by collective bargaining agreements;
changes in, or failure or inability to comply with, government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations of the Federal Communications Commission and similar authorities internationally and data privacy regulations and adverse outcomes from regulatory proceedings;
changes in income taxes due to regulatory changes or changes in our corporate structure;
changes in the nature of key strategic relationships with partners, distributors and equity method investee partners;
competitor responses to our products and services and the products and services of the entities in which we have interests;
threatened or actual cyber-attacks and cybersecurity breaches;
64

threatened terrorist attacks and military action, including the intensification or expansion of the conflict in Ukraine;
service disruptions or the failure of communications satellites or transmitter facilities;
theft of our content and unauthorized duplication, distribution and exhibition of such content;
changes in existing U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, as well as possible private rights of action, regarding intellectual property rights protection and privacy, personal data protection and user consent;
potential changes to the electromagnetic spectrum currently used for broadcast television and satellite distribution being considered by the Federal Communications Commission could negatively impact our WarnerMedia Business's ability to deliver pay-TV network feeds of our domestic pay-TV programming networks to our affiliates, and, in some cases, to produce high-value news and entertainment programming on location;
our level of debt, including the significant indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition of the WarnerMedia Business, and our future compliance with debt covenants;
reduced access to capital markets or significant increases in costs to borrow, including as a result of higher interest rates and perceived, potential or actual inflation; and
a reduction of advertising revenue associated with unexpected reductions in the number of subscribers.
These risks have the potential to impact the recoverability of the assets recorded on our balance sheets, including goodwill or other intangibles. Additionally, many of these risks are currently amplified by and may, in the future, continue to be amplified by the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2021 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022 (the “Q1 10-Q”) and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022. These forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about our existing market risk are set forth in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the 2021 Form 10-K. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2021.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
65

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On April 8, 2022, Discovery completed its merger with WM. (See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). We are currently integrating policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined company. Management will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we execute integration activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, except as noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
66

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, we experience routine claims and legal proceedings. It is the opinion of our management, based on information available at this time, that none of the current claims and proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. (See Note 19 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.)
As of July 1, 2022, eight lawsuits had been filed by alleged Discovery stockholders against the Company related to the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC in connection with the Merger. The cases have been dismissed.
The dismissed cases are as follows: A complaint captioned Rahman v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-09785 (the “Rahman Complaint”), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on November 23, 2021. A complaint captioned Chiao v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-10409, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 6, 2021. A complaint captioned Whitfield v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-10514 (the “Whitfield Complaint”), was filed by Matthew Whitfield in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 8, 2021. A complaint captioned Solakian v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-06806, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on December 8, 2021. A complaint captioned Finger v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-09799, was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on December 20, 2021. A complaint captioned Ciccotelli v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-05566, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 21, 2021. A complaint captioned Kent v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00033-UNA, was filed by Michael Kent in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on January 7, 2022. A complaint captioned Jones v. Discovery Inc. et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00204, was filed by Brian Jones in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 10, 2022. Each of the above complaints named as defendants Discovery and members of the Discovery Board. The Whitfield Complaint and the Rahman Complaint also named as defendants AT&T, Inc. and Drake Subsidiary, Inc. The Whitfield Complaint named Magallanes, Inc. as an additional defendant. Each of the complaints alleged violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. The complaints generally alleged that the respective defendants filed a materially incomplete and misleading preliminary proxy statement with the SEC. Each of the complaints sought injunctive relief, damages and other relief.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as set forth under Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company's Q1 Form 10-Q, as supplemented by the additional risk factor described below under “Risks Related to Our Industry.” In addition, certain of the risks described in our 2021 Form 10-K and Q1 Form 10-Q are amended and restated as set forth below.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material may also adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Risks Related to our Acquisition of the WarnerMedia Business
We could be required to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets.
The Merger added a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets to our consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with GAAP, management periodically assesses these assets to determine if they are impaired. Significant negative industry or economic trends, including the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, disruptions to our business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, underperformance of the WarnerMedia Business as compared to management's initial expectations, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of the assets, divestitures and market capitalization declines may impair goodwill and other intangible assets. Any charges relating to such impairments could materially adversely affect our results of operations in the periods recognized.
67

We may be unable to provide (or obtain from third parties) the same types and level of services to the WarnerMedia Business that historically have been provided by AT&T or may be unable to provide (or obtain) them at the same cost.
Prior to the Merger, as part of a separate reporting segment of AT&T, the WarnerMedia Business was able to receive services from AT&T. Following the Merger, we have replaced these services either by providing them internally from our existing services or by obtaining them from unaffiliated third parties, including AT&T. These services include AT&T bundling HBO Max with some of its wireless and broadband offerings, and certain administrative and operating functions of which effective and appropriate performance is critical to the operations of the WarnerMedia Business and the Company as a whole following the Merger. AT&T is providing certain services on a transitional basis pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) with us. The duration of such services is subject to a limited term set out in the Services Schedule to the TSA. We may have difficulty enforcing the terms of the agreements governing the provision of these services or be unable to replace these services in a timely manner or on terms and conditions as favorable as those the WarnerMedia Business currently receives from AT&T. The costs for these services, or the costs associated with replacing these services, could in the aggregate be higher than the combination of our historical costs and those reflected in the historical financial statements of the WarnerMedia Business. If we are unable to replace the services provided by AT&T or are unable to replace them at the same cost or are delayed in replacing the services provided by AT&T, our results of operations may be materially adversely impacted.
If the results of operations of the WarnerMedia Business following the Merger continue to be below management’s expectations, the Company may not achieve the increases in revenues and net earnings that management expects as a result of the Merger.
In connection with our comprehensive business and strategic review which commenced following the Merger, we determined that certain WarnerMedia budget projections that were made available to us prior to closing varied from what we now view as WarnerMedia’s baseline post-closing. We are actively implementing actions to address these issues. However, as we derive a majority of our revenues and net earnings from the WarnerMedia Business, if the results of operations of the WarnerMedia Business continue to be below management’s expectations, we may not achieve the increases in revenue and net earnings expected as a result of the Merger. Significant factors that could negatively impact the results of operations of the WarnerMedia Business, and therefore harm the results of operations of the Company, include:
more intense competitive pressure from existing or new competitors;
fluctuations in the exchange rates in the jurisdictions in which the WarnerMedia Business operates;
increases in promotional and operating costs for the WarnerMedia Business;
a decline in the viewership or consumption of content provided by the WarnerMedia Business; and
additional material variations in the results of operations of the WarnerMedia Business from expectations or projections of such results of operations, any or all of which may prove to be incorrect or inaccurate.
Risks Related to our Industry
If our DTC products fail to attract and retain subscribers, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.
In January 2021, Discovery launched an aggregated DTC product, discovery+, in the U.S. In May 2020, the WarnerMedia Business launched HBO Max in the U.S. We have incurred and will likely continue to incur significant costs to develop and market discovery+ and HBO Max, including costs related to developing and implementing a go-to-market strategy that coordinates and/or combines our DTC products, and there can be no assurance that consumers and advertisers will embrace our offerings or that subscribers will activate or renew a subscription.
68

Our discovery+ and HBO Max offerings are subscription-based streaming products and are among many such services in a crowded and competitive landscape. Their success will also be largely dependent on our ability to initially attract, and ultimately retain, subscribers. Competitors to discovery+ and HBO Max include traditional linear programming networks, including our own linear channels, competing subscription video-on-demand services, and other digital entertainment platforms and offerings all vying for consumer time, attention and discretionary spending. If we are unable to effectively market our DTC products or if consumers do not perceive the pricing and related features of our DTC products to be of value versus our competitors, we may not be able to attract and retain subscribers. In particular, decreases in consumer discretionary spending where our DTC products are offered may reduce our ability to attract and retain subscribers to our services, which could have a negative impact on our business. Relatedly, a decrease in viewing subscribers on our advertising-supported DTC products could also have a negative impact on the rates we are able to charge advertisers for advertising-supported services. The ability to attract and retain subscribers will also depend in part on our ability to provide compelling content choices that are differentiated from that of our competitors and that are more attractive than other sources of entertainment that consumers could choose in their free time. Furthermore, our ability to provide a quality subscriber experience and our relative service levels, may also impact our ability to attract and retain subscribers. If existing subscribers, including those who receive subscriptions through wireless and broadband bundling arrangements with third parties, cancel or discontinue their subscriptions for any reason, including as a result of selecting an alternative wireless or broadband plan that does not bundle our products, or due to the availability of competing offerings that are perceived to offer greater value compared to our DTC products, our business may be adversely affected. We must continue to add new subscribers both to replace subscribers who cancel or discontinue their subscriptions and to grow our business. If we are unable to attract and retain subscribers and offset the losses of subscribers who cancel or discontinue their subscriptions to our DTC products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Forecasting our financial results requires us to make judgements and estimates which may differ materially from actual results.
Given the dynamic nature of our business, the current uncertain economic climate and the inherent limitations in predicting the future, forecasts of our revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and core subscriber growth, and other financial and operating data, may differ materially from actual results, including as a result of events outside of our control and other risks and uncertainties described herein. Such discrepancies could cause a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

69

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7 and incorporated by reference herein.
JB Perrette Employment Agreement
On August 2, 2022, Discovery Communications, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an employment agreement with JB Perrette, our President and CEO, Global Streaming and Games (the “Perrette Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Perrette Agreement, Mr. Perrette will continue to serve as our President and CEO, Global Streaming and Games. The term of the Perrette Agreement is effective as of August 2, 2022 and runs through August 1, 2025. The parties may agree to renew the Perrette Agreement at the end of the term. If we desire to renew the Perrette Agreement, Mr. Perrette must be notified to that effect, in writing, no later than 150 days prior to the end of the term of the Perrette Agreement. If a “qualifying renewal offer” (as described below) is not made to Mr. Perrette, Mr. Perrette will be eligible for severance payments in connection with his termination.
For purposes of the Perrette Agreement, a “qualifying renewal offer” is an offer to renew the term of the Perrette Agreement with a meaningful increase in base salary and a bonus target that is at least the same level as in effect under the Perrette Agreement at the end of his term, and with other material terms that are at least as favorable to Mr. Perrette in the aggregate as the material terms of the Perrette Agreement.
Under the Perrette Agreement, Mr. Perrette’s base salary was increased from £1.525 million per annum to $2.5 million per annum, effective as of April 8, 2022 (the same day as the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”). Future salary increases will be reviewed and decided in accordance with the Company’s standard practices and procedures for similarly situated executives. Mr. Perrette’s target annual bonus was increased from 175% of his base salary to 200% of his base salary, effective as of the Closing. There is no guaranteed annual bonus amount. Mr. Perrette is also entitled to certain tax-related benefits related to his relocation from the United Kingdom to Los Angeles, California. In addition, two times per year, Mr. Perrette will be permitted to be accompanied by his family on the Company’s corporate airplane in connection with Mr. Perrette’s business duties in Europe.
Mr. Perrette will also be considered for annual equity grants under the Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with our normal executive compensation processes and practices. Beginning in 2023, and subject to approval from our Compensation Committee, such annual equity grants will have a target grant date value of $8.5 million per annum. Mr. Perrette will also be granted a one-time award of 146,736 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Plan. This one-time award of RSUs shall vest in three equal annual installments, with the first installment vesting on August 2, 2023. The award documents that evidence equity awards made to Mr. Perrette pursuant to the Perrette Agreement shall provide for double-trigger vesting upon an Approved Transaction, Board Change or Control Purchase (each as defined in the Plan). The terms of the equity awards granted to Mr. Perrette under the Perrette Agreement will otherwise be consistent with our normal executive compensation processes and practices, with vesting subject to continued employment, and other terms and conditions, as well as approval of our Compensation Committee in each case.
Mr. Perrette’s employment may be terminated for “cause.” “Cause” for purposes of the Perrette Agreement means: (i) the conviction of, or nolo contendere or guilty plea, to a felony (whether any right to appeal has been or may be exercised); (ii) conduct constituting embezzlement, misappropriation or fraud, whether or not related to Mr. Perrette’s employment with us; (iii) conduct constituting a financial crime, material act of dishonesty or conduct in material violation of our Code of Ethics or other of our written policies of which Mr. Perrette has knowledge; (iv) improper conduct substantially prejudicial to our business (whether financial or otherwise); (v) willful unauthorized disclosure or use of our confidential information; (vi) material improper destruction of our property; or (vii) willful misconduct in connection with the performance of Mr. Perrette’s duties. If Mr. Perrette’s employment is terminated for “cause,” he will be entitled to receive only amounts or benefits that have been earned or vested at the time of his termination, or as may be required by applicable law.

If Mr. Perrettes’s employment is terminated without “cause” (as defined above) or by Mr. Perrette for “good reason”, Mr. Perrette will be eligible to receive the following severance payments: (a) base salary for the longest of (i) the balance of the term of employment under the Perrette Agreement, (ii) twelve (12) months, or (iii) the number of weeks of severance Mr. Perrette would otherwise have been entitled to under our severance plan, in each case subject to a maximum of twenty-four (24) months; (b) annual bonus payments at target under our annual incentive plan for each year in which Mr. Perrette is entitled to base salary continuation under clause (a) above (subject to proration for partial years); and (c) reimbursement of up to eighteen (18) months of COBRA premiums. In certain circumstances in which Mr. Perrette is relieved of all work responsibilities for some period of time prior to the effective date of his termination of employment, salary paid during this period of “garden leave” will be offset against the severance amounts otherwise payable to Mr. Perrette. “Good reason” under the Perrette Agreement means: (a) a material reduction in Mr. Perrette’s duties or responsibilities; (b) a material change in the location of the office where Mr. Perrette works (i.e., relocation outside the Los Angeles, CA metropolitan area); or (c) a material breach of the Perrette Agreement by us, including a diminution of Mr. Perrette’s title or change in the position to which Mr. Perrette reports. These severance amounts are contingent on Mr. Perrette executing a release of claims. Additionally, if Mr. Perrette secures employment or any consulting, contractor or other business arrangement for services during the period during which he is receiving severance payments, the severance payments he is receiving may be reduced by the amounts otherwise payable under the Perrette Agreement by the amount Mr. Perrette receives for those services.
The Perrette Agreement also contains certain nonsolicitation covenants effective during Mr. Perrette’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months after the conclusion of Mr. Perrette’s employment. If Mr. Perrette ceases to comply with the nonsolicitation clauses in the Perrette Agreement, any unpaid severance payments would be terminated.

The Parties agree that for purposes of WM Mexico Holdco, any Conveyed Entity, any WM Mexico Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Mexico Transferred Assets and WM Mexico Assumed Liabilities, (a) any obligations of the Parties which were applicable prior to the Spinco Distribution set forth in Section 4.2 (Separation of Information) and, solely for purposes of those items set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, each of Section 1.5 (Intergroup Accounts; Intercompany Accounts) and Section 1.6(a) (Intergroup Contracts) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall continue to apply until immediately prior to or effective as of the Repurchase Transactions Closing and (b) any obligations of the Parties applicable from and/or following the Spinco Distribution set forth in Section 1.1(f) (Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities), Section 1.4 (Commingled Contracts; Dual-Use Contracts; Certain Transferred Contracts), Sections 1.7(b) and 1.7(c) (Nonassignability of Assets), Section 4.2 (Separation of Information) and, solely for purposes of those items set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, each of Section 1.5 (Intergroup Accounts; Intercompany Accounts) and Section 1.6(a) (Intergroup Contracts) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall so apply only from and following the Repurchase Transactions Closing.

(f) Section 8.1 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement is hereby amended by the following language as a newly added paragraph (d):

In the event that a Mexico Claim relates to the same occurrence for which any member of the Remainco Group is seeking coverage under an Insurance Policy, (i) where the limits under an applicable Insurance Policy are not sufficient to fund all covered claims of the applicable member or members of the WM Mexico Group and the Remainco Group (other than the WM Mexico Group), amounts due under such Insurance Policy shall be paid to the respective Persons in proportion to the amounts that otherwise would be due were the limits of liability infinite and (ii) any applicable retention or deductible amounts shall be allocated among the parties in the same proportion. For the avoidance of doubt, any Liabilities involving or related to Mexico Claims that are in excess of insurance coverage therefor (net of any retention amounts, recovery costs, retrospective premium, increases in premium and related deductible payable in connection therewith) under applicable Insurance Policies shall not be by virtue of this Section 8.1 the responsibility of any member of the Remainco Group (other than, for this purpose, the WM Mexico Group).”
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Repurchase Agreement and the Conveyance Agreement, from and after the Spinco Distribution and until the Repurchase Transactions Closing, the WM Mexico Business shall continue to be insured in the ordinary course under the insurance policies of the Remainco Group, and the WM Mexico Business shall have recourse to such policies to the extent of losses occurring prior to the Repurchase Transactions Closing.

6.Release of Claims. The Parties agree that for purposes of Liabilities related to, resulting from or arising out of the WM Mexico Business only, the terms of Section 5.1 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall not apply until the Repurchase Transactions Closing.
7.Indemnification by Spinco and RMT Partner. Section 5.3 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the provision:
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for the purposes of assessing Remainco Indemnitees’ rights under this Section 5.3, (1) from and following the Closing, RMT Partner, Spinco and its and their respective Affiliates shall indemnify, defend and
4



hold harmless the Remainco Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Remainco Indemnitees to the extent relating to WM Mexico Business, the Mexico Transferred Assets and the WM Mexico Assumed Liabilities incurred by any Remainco Indemnitees from and following Closing, excluding (x) the Regulatory Expenses and (y) any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent resulting from or arising out of any material and intentional breach of Remainco’s obligations under the Repurchase Agreement and (2) from and after the Repurchase Transactions Closing, the Parties shall treat the WM Mexico Business, the Mexico Transferred Assets and the Mexico Assumed Liabilities as if they were Transferred to or Assumed by Spinco or members of the Spinco Group, as the case may be, as of the Spinco Distribution Date and prior to the Spinco Distribution.”

Upon and after consummation of the Combination Transactions, all of the foregoing references to Subsidiaries of the Borrower in this definition shall be deemed to include each Subsidiary Guarantor and its Subsidiaries.
(b)    The definition of “Consolidated Funded Indebtedness” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:
““Consolidated Funded Indebtedness” means, as of any date of determination, for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, without duplication, the sum of (a) the outstanding principal amount of all obligations, whether current or long-term, for borrowed money (including Obligations hereunder) and all obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes, loan agreements or other similar instruments (net of cash or cash equivalents held on the balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of Pre-Funded Acquisition Debt), (b) all purchase money Indebtedness (except as also excluded from clause (d) below), (c) all direct obligations arising under letters of credit (including standby and commercial), bankers’ acceptances, bank guaranties, surety bonds and similar instruments (other than (i) commercial letters of credit in an aggregate face amount of not more than $22,500,000 and (ii) surety bonds in an aggregate face amount of not more than $22,500,000), (d) all obligations in respect of the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than trade accounts payable in the ordinary course of business and, to the extent applicable, net of cash or cash equivalents held on the balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of Pre-Funded Acquisition Debt), (e) Attributable Indebtedness in respect of Capital Leases and Synthetic Lease Obligations, (f) without duplication, all Guarantees with respect to outstanding Indebtedness of the types specified in clauses (a) through (e) above of Persons other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (g) all Indebtedness of the types referred to in clauses (a) through (f) above of any partnership or joint venture (other than a joint venture that is itself a corporation, limited liability company or similar limited liability entity organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or a state thereof) in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a general partner or joint venturer, unless such Indebtedness is expressly made non-recourse to the Borrower or such Subsidiary; provided, that (x)(i) if the Borrower or any Subsidiary delivers or causes to be delivered an irrevocable repayment or redemption notice that results in Indebtedness in the form of debt securities being due and payable in full not later than 30 days after such repayment or redemption notice has been delivered and deposits cash with or for the benefit of the trustee or holders of such Indebtedness to fund such repayment or redemption in full, then such Indebtedness shall be considered repaid or redeemed (it being understood that if any applicable deposit is returned and the corresponding Indebtedness is not repaid or redeemed, but remains outstanding, such Indebtedness shall no longer be considered repaid or redeemed), and (ii) if the Borrower or any Subsidiary commences a tender offer to repurchase Indebtedness (the “Repurchased Indebtedness”) and will be obligated to repurchase such Indebtedness for payment in full, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, after the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions of such tender offer,
    2




and in connection therewith issues Indebtedness in the form of debt securities (the “New Indebtedness”) the proceeds of which are to be used to repurchase the Repurchased Indebtedness within 30 days of issuance of such New Indebtedness (the “Period”), then to the extent, and solely so long as, the Borrower or any Subsidiary either holds the proceeds of such New Indebtedness in an escrow account with an independent escrow agent or deposits the proceeds of such New Indebtedness with or for the benefit of the trustee or holders of such Repurchased Indebtedness to fund the repurchase of such Repurchased Indebtedness, then, without duplication of any amounts excluded under clause (i) above, the amount of such New Indebtedness shall be deemed for the purpose of this definition to be reduced by the amount of the proceeds thereof that are so held in escrow or with or for the benefit of the trustee or holders of such Repurchased Indebtedness (solely to the extent and for so long as so held, and not for the avoidance of doubt to the extent applied to repurchase the Repurchased Indebtedness or applied for any other purpose other than the repayment of the New Indebtedness); provided, that upon the end of the Period, the deemed reduction of the New Indebtedness described above shall no longer apply and (y) Consolidated Funded Indebtedness shall not include any obligations under or in respect of any Permitted Securitization Financing. Upon and after consummation of the Combination Transactions, all of the foregoing references to Subsidiaries of the Borrower in this definition shall be deemed to include each Subsidiary Guarantor and its Subsidiaries.”
(c)    Section 6.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting “and solely with respect to the period covered by financial statements commencing on April 1, 2022” immediately following the words “or, solely upon and after the consummation of the Combination Transactions”.

Such financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements of [the Spinoff Business][Discovery] (it being understood that such certification related to the financial statements relates solely to the period covered by such financial statements commencing on April 1, 2022).”
(e)    Exhibit D to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the second sample paragraph 1 in its entirety with the following:
“1. The Loan Parties have delivered the unaudited financial statements required by Section 6.01(b) of the Agreement for the fiscal quarter of [the Spinoff Business][Discovery] ended as of the above date. Such consolidated financial statements fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of [the Spinoff Business][Discovery] in accordance with GAAP as at such date and for such period (it being understood that such certification related to the financial statements relates solely to the period covered by such financial statements commencing on April 1, 2022), subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes and such consolidating statements are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements of [the Spinoff Business][Discovery].”

3.    Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Required Lenders party hereto hereby waive any Default or Event of Default arising out of the failure of the Borrower or Discovery, as the case may be, to deliver the Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.
    3




4.    Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendment and Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment and Waiver shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or constitute a waiver of or consent to any departure from any term or provision of the Credit Agreement or to any further or future action on the part of any Loan Parties that would require a waiver or consent of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment and Waiver, each reference in the Credit Agreement and in any exhibits attached thereto to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement after giving effect hereto.
6.    Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders to enter into this Amendment and Waiver, each of the Borrower, Discovery, Scripps and DCL represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:
    (a)    The representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement (other than Section 5.06 thereof) and in each other Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party, or in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualification included in the terms of any such representation or warranty) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualification included in the terms of any such representation or warranty) as of such earlier date;
    (b)    This Amendment and Waiver has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Borrower, Discovery, Scripps and DCL and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Borrower, Discovery, Scripps and DCL, enforceable against each of the Borrower, Discovery, Scripps and DCL in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and

Purchase and Sale Agreement 1008327189v2 This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of March 27, 2019, is entered into among the VARIOUS ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE I HERETO (collectively, the “Originators” and each, an “Originator”), TURNER BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC., a Georgia corporation (“Turner”), as the initial Servicer (as defined below), and AT&T RECEIVABLES FUNDING II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”). DEFINITIONS Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Article I of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Buyer, as seller, Turner, as the initial Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the Persons from time to time party thereto as Purchasers and Group Agents, PNC Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Structuring Agent, and Section 1.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (Other Interpretive Matters) shall apply to the interpretation of this Agreement. BACKGROUND 1. The Buyer is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of which are owned by Turner (“Contributing Originator”). 2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their businesses. 3. The Originators wish to sell and/or, in the case of the Contributing Originator, contribute Receivables and the Related Rights to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase and/or accept such Receivables and the Related Rights from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 4. The Originators and the Buyer intend each such transaction to be a true sale and/or, in the case of the Contributing Originator, an absolute contribution and conveyance of Receivables and the Related Rights by each Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and the Buyer do not intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to any Originator. 5. The Buyer intends to sell certain of the Receivables and their Related Rights to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time) pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:


 
2 1008327189v2 ARTICLE I AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL SECTION 1.1. Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator, severally and for itself, agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase from such Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date (or, solely in the case of HBO Home Entertainment, Inc., on or after June 1, 2019), but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to: (a) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables as defined in Section 3.1(a)) of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originator’s business on the Cut-Off Date (as defined below); (b) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) generated by such Originator after the Cut-Off Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale Termination Date; (c) all of such Originator’s interest in any goods (including Returned Goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including Returned Goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable; (d) all instruments and chattel paper that may evidence such Receivable; (e) all other security interests or liens and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings relating thereto; (f) solely to the extent necessary to irrevocably collect and enjoy the benefits of such Receivable, all of such Originator’s rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all guaranties, indemnities, insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, subject, in each case, to any applicable terms of such Contract that may adversely impact the sale or assignment of such Contract (as opposed to the sale or the assignment of the Receivables or other proceeds arising thereunder); (g) any related investment property acquired with any Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC) of any of the foregoing; and (h) all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing that are or were received by such Originator on or after the Cut-Off Date, including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by such Originator, the Buyer or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, invoice price, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of any of the above Receivables or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including, without limitation, any insurance payments that such Originator, the Buyer or the Servicer applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any of the above Receivables, and net proceeds


 
3 1008327189v2 of sale or other disposition of Returned Goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors in respect of any of the above Receivables or any other parties directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivables); provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract; provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and the Seller, the applicable Originator shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor. All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originators and the Servicer set forth in this Agreement. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Buyer hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The property, proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (h) above, including with respect to any Contributed Receivable, are herein referred to as the “Related Rights”, and the Buyer’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the “Purchase Facility.” As used herein, “Cut-Off Date” means (a) with respect to each Originator party hereto on the date hereof, February 28, 2019, and (b) with respect to any Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such Originator becomes a party hereto or such other date as the Buyer and such Originator agree to in writing. SECTION 1.2. Timing of Purchases. (a) Closing Date Purchases. Effective on the Closing Date, each Originator (other than HBO Home Entertainment, Inc.) hereby sells to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases, such Originator’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) generated by such Originator after the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto. (b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date (or, solely in the case of HBO Home Entertainment, Inc., on or after June 1, 2019), until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the generation of such Receivable.


 
4 1008327189v2 SECTION 1.3. Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators and to reflect all capital contributions in accordance with Article III. SECTION 1.4. Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Termination Date. SECTION 1.5. Intention of the Parties. (a) It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment (without recourse except as expressly provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables, including without limitation any Receivables constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights, and a conveyance of such Receivables and Related Rights that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Buyer that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created by such Originator transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, which security interest shall secure the obligations of such Originator under this Agreement. (b) It is the express intent of each Party to this Agreement to treat, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) each conveyance to the Buyer by the Originators, other than the Contributing Originator, as sales of the Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer; (ii) each conveyance by the Contributing Originator to the Buyer, as a contribution of the Contributed Receivables and Related Rights by the Contributing Originator to the Buyer; (iii) to treat the Buyer as a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701 3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is wholly owned by a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code); and (iv) to treat the Subordinated Notes as indebtedness. Each Party agrees, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, not to take any position inconsistent with the foregoing for tax reporting purposes.


 
5 1008327189v2 ARTICLE II PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE SECTION 2.1. Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on each date when an Information Package is due to be delivered under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Buyer and each Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things: (a) The aggregate amount of Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator, or contributed to the capital of the Buyer by Contributing Originator, on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date); (b) The aggregate amount of Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator, or contributed to the capital of the Buyer by Contributing Originator, during the Fiscal Month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and (c) The calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.3(a) and (b). SECTION 2.2. Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: PP = OB x FMVD where: PP = Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date. OB = The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date. FMVD = Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal 99%; provided that such discount may be updated by the Originators and the Buyer from time to time to reflect the then current fair market value of the Receivables. “Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.


 
6 1008327189v2 ARTICLE III CONTRIBUTIONS AND PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE SECTION 3.1. Initial Contribution of Receivables and Initial Purchase Price Payment. (a) On the Closing Date, Contributing Originator shall, and hereby does, contribute to the capital of the Buyer Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of Contributing Originator that exists and is owing to Contributing Originator on the Closing Date beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter such that the equity (taking into account any cash contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date) held by Contributing Originator in the Buyer, after giving effect to such contribution of Receivables (the value of which shall be determined based on the Purchase Price definition), shall be at least equal to the Required Capital Amount. Each Receivable or portion thereof contributed by Contributing Originator to the capital of the Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.2 below is herein referred to as a “Contributed Receivable”. (b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Closing Date (i) to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and, solely in the case of Contributing Originator if elected by Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, by accepting a contribution to the Buyer’s capital and (ii) the remainder by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to such Originator (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, being herein called a “Subordinated Note”) with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining Purchase Price payable to such Originator not paid in cash or, in the case of Contributing Originator, contributed to the Buyer’s capital. SECTION 3.2. Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to each Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated by such Originator on such Payment Date: (a) First, in cash to each Originator to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, including any Release (and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement); (b) Second, solely in the case of Contributing Originator, if elected by Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, by accepting a contribution of such Receivable and the Related Rights to its capital in an amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price; and (c) Third, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase


 
7 1008327189v2 Price and (y) the maximum increase in the principal balance of the applicable Subordinated Note that could be made without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount; provided, however, that if more than one Originator is selling Receivables to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments among the Originators in such a way as to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Notes; provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require Contributing Originator to make any capital contribution to the Buyer. “Net Worth” has the meaning set forth under “Seller’s Net Worth” in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. All amounts paid by the Buyer to any Originator shall be allocated first to the payment of any Purchase Price then due and unpaid, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Note of such Originator; third to the repayment of the principal outstanding on the Subordinated Note of such Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal thereof as of the date of such payment before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose and fourth, as a distribution on capital. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Subordinated Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Subordinated Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to mark the Subordinated Notes “CANCELED” and to return such Subordinated Notes to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date. If, on any Business Day, the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price for Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this Section 3.2, then the Originators shall on such Business Day provide written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. SECTION 3.3. Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution. (a) If, (i) on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8 or 5.10 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8 or 5.10 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced in an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator. (b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods, or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate,


 
8 1008327189v2 credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Buyer, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Buyer, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor, the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator. (c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables prior to the Settlement Date immediately following any such reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit: (i) to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator; and (ii) after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Originator on such Settlement Date subject to the following proviso; provided, further, that at any time (x) when an Event of Termination exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (y) when the Aggregate Capital exceeds the Capital Coverage Amount at such time under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be payable by such Originator to the Buyer within two (2) Business Days from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection in cash by deposit of immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Servicers to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date. ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS OF PURCHASES; ADDITIONAL ORIGINATORS SECTION 4.1. Conditions Precedent to Initial Purchase. The initial purchase hereunder is subject to the condition precedent that the Buyer, the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee) and each Group Agent shall have received, on or before the Closing Date, the following, each (unless otherwise indicated) dated the Closing Date, and each in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee) and each Group Agent: (a) a copy of the resolutions or unanimous written consent of the board of directors or other governing body of each Originator, approving this Agreement and the other

Amendments, etc. (a) The provisions of this Agreement may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and executed by the Buyer, the Servicer and each Originator, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents. (b) No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer, any Servicer, any Originator, the Administrative Agent or any third-party beneficiary in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

No waiver or approval by the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Servicer under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. (c) The Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute


 
23 1008327189v2 the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. SECTION 10.2. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include email and facsimile communication) and emailed, faxed or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on Schedule IV hereto or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by email or facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by regular mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received; provided that any notice or communication sent after the recipient’s normal business hours will be effective upon the opening of the recipient’s next Business Day. SECTION 10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree. The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Originator or Servicer pursuant to Article V and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article IX and Section 10.6 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.9. Captions and Cross References; Incorporation by Reference. The various captions (including, without limitation, the table of contents) in this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to any underscored Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit are to such Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit of this Agreement, as the case may be. The Schedules and Exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Agreement. SECTION 10.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or other electronic means shall be equally effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart. SECTION 10.11. Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, each Originator and the Servicer expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Buyer’s rights, title, and interests in, to, and under this Agreement (but not its obligations), shall be assigned by the Buyer to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and each Originator consents to such assignment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers, the Group Agents, the Administrative Agent and each of the other Secured Parties are third-party beneficiaries of the rights of the Buyer arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which any Originator or Servicer is a party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Termination under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent, and not the Buyer, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related remedies.


 
26 1008327189v2 SECTION 10.12. No Proceeding.

Each Originator and the Servicer further agrees that notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount in respect of any Subordinated Note or otherwise to such Originator or the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement unless the Buyer has received funds which may, subject to Section 4.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, be used to make such payment. Any amount which the Buyer does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of the Buyer by such Originator or Servicer for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. SECTION 10.13. Mutual Negotiations.

SECTION 10.14. Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Purchase and Sale Agreement 1008327295v2 This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of March 27, 2019, is entered into among the VARIOUS ENTITIESSUBSIDIARIES OF AT&T, INC. LISTED ON SCHEDULE I HERETO (collectively, the “Originators” and each, an “Originator”), TURNER BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC., a Georgia corporation (“Turner”), as the initial Servicer (as defined below), and AT&T RECEIVABLES FUNDING II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”). DEFINITIONS Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Article I of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Buyer, as seller, Turner, as the initial Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the Persons from time to time party thereto as Purchasers and Group Agents, PNC Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Structuring Agent, and Section 1.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (Other Interpretive Matters) shall apply to the interpretation of this Agreement. BACKGROUND 1. The Buyer is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of which are owned by Turner (“Contributing Originator”). 2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their businesses. 3. The Originators wish to sell and/or, in the case of the Contributing Originator, contribute Receivables and the Related Rights to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase and/or accept such Receivables and the Related Rights from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 4. The Originators and the Buyer intend each such transaction to be a true sale and/or, in the case of the Contributing Originator, an absolute contribution and conveyance of Receivables and the Related Rights by each Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and the Buyer do not intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to any Originator. 5. The Buyer intends to sell certain of the Receivables and their Related Rights to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time) pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originators and the Servicer set forth in this Agreement. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Buyer hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The property, proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (h) above, including with respect to any Contributed Receivable, are herein referred to as the “Related Rights”, and the Buyer’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the “Purchase Facility.” As used herein, “Cut-Off Date” means (a) with respect to each Originator party hereto on the date hereof, February 28, 2019, and (b) with respect to any Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such Originator becomes a party hereto or such other date as the Buyer and such Originator agree to in writing. SECTION 1.2. Timing of Purchases. (a) Closing Date Purchases. Effective on the Closing Date, each Originator (other than HBO Home Entertainment, Inc.) hereby sells to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases, such Originator’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut- Off Date, (ii) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) generated by such Originator after the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto. (b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date (or, solely in the case of HBO Home Entertainment, Inc., on or after June 1, 2019), until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the generation of such Receivable.


 
4 1008327295v2 SECTION 1.3. Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators and to reflect all capital contributions in accordance with Article III. SECTION 1.4. Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Termination Date. SECTION 1.5. Intention of the Parties. (a) It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment (without recourse except as expressly provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables, including without limitation any Receivables constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights, and a conveyance of such Receivables and Related Rights that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Buyer that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created by such Originator transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, which security interest shall secure the obligations of such Originator under this Agreement. (b) It is the express intent of each Party to this Agreement to treat, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) each conveyance to the Buyer by the Originators, other than the Contributing Originator, as sales of the Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer; (ii) each conveyance by the Contributing Originator to the Buyer, as a contribution of the Contributed Receivables and Related Rights by the Contributing Originator to the Buyer; (iii) to treat the Buyer as a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701 3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is wholly owned by a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code); and (iv) to treat the Subordinated Notes as indebtedness. Each Party agrees, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, not to take any position inconsistent with the foregoing for tax reporting purposes.


 
5 1008327295v2 ARTICLE II PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE SECTION 2.1. Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on each date when an Information Package is due to be delivered under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Buyer and each Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things: (a) The aggregate amount of Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator, or contributed to the capital of the Buyer by Contributing Originator, on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date); (b) The aggregate amount of Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator, or contributed to the capital of the Buyer by Contributing Originator, during the Fiscal Month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and (c) The calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.3(a) and (b). SECTION 2.2. Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall equal the fair value of such Receivables as agreed upon by such Originator and the Buyer prior to such Payment Date, which Purchase Price shall not be greater than the amount determined in accordance with the following formula: PP = OB x FMVD where: P = Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date. OB = The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date. FMVD = Fair Market Value Discount, which is equal to 99%. “Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.


 
6 1008327295v2 ARTICLE III CONTRIBUTIONS AND PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE SECTION 3.1. Initial Contribution of Receivables and Initial Purchase Price Payment. (a) On the Closing Date, Contributing Originator shall, and hereby does, contribute to the capital of the Buyer Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of Contributing Originator that exists and is owing to Contributing Originator on the Closing Date beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter such that the equity (taking into account any cash contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date) held by Contributing Originator in the Buyer, after giving effect to such contribution of Receivables (the value of which shall be determined based on the Purchase Price definition), shall be at least equal to the Required Capital Amount. Each Receivable or portion thereof contributed by Contributing Originator to the capital of the Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.2 below is herein referred to as a “Contributed Receivable”. (b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Closing Date (i) to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and, solely in the case of Contributing Originator if elected by Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, by accepting a contribution to the Buyer’s capital and (ii) the remainder by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to such Originator (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, being herein called a “Subordinated Note”) with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining Purchase Price payable to such Originator not paid in cash or, in the case of Contributing Originator, contributed to the Buyer’s capital. SECTION 3.2. Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to each Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated by such Originator on such Payment Date: (a) First, in cash to each Originator to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, including any Release (and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement); (b) Second, solely in the case of Contributing Originator, if elected by Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, by accepting a contribution of such Receivable and the Related Rights to its capital in an amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price; and (c) Third, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase


 
7 1008327295v2 Price and (y) the maximum increase in the principal balance of the applicable Subordinated Note that could be made without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount; provided, however, that if more than one Originator is selling Receivables to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments among the Originators in such a way as to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Notes; provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require Contributing Originator to make any capital contribution to the Buyer. “Net Worth” has the meaning set forth under “Seller’s Net Worth” in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. All amounts paid by the Buyer to any Originator shall be allocated first to the payment of any Purchase Price then due and unpaid, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Note of such Originator; third to the repayment of the principal outstanding on the Subordinated Note of such Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal thereof as of the date of such payment before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose and fourth, as a distribution on capital. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Subordinated Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Subordinated Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to mark the Subordinated Notes “CANCELED” and to return such Subordinated Notes to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date. If, on any Business Day, the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price for Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this Section 3.2, then the Originators shall on such Business Day provide written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. SECTION 3.3. Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution. (a) If, (i) on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8 or 5.10 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8 or 5.10 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced in an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator. (b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned,


 
8 1008327295v2 repossessed or foreclosed goods, or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Buyer, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Buyer, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor, the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator. (c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables prior to the Settlement Date immediately following any such reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit: (i) to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator; and (ii) after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Originator on such Settlement Date subject to the following proviso; provided, further, that at any time (x) when an Event of Termination exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (y) when the Aggregate Capital exceeds the Capital Coverage Amount at such time under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be payable by such Originator to the Buyer within two (2) Business Days from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection in cash by deposit of immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Servicers to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

Any amount which the Buyer does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of the Buyer by such Originator or Servicer for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. SECTION 10.13. Mutual Negotiations. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same.

Preliminary Statements
The Seller has acquired, and will acquire from time to time, Receivables from certain Originators pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Seller desires to sell certain of the Receivables to the Purchasers and, in connection therewith, has requested that the Purchasers make Investments from time to time, on the terms, and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
The Seller, the Servicer, PNC, as a Purchaser and as a Group Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Structuring Agent are currently party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2022 (the “Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The Seller hereby requests that certain amendments be made to the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement and, for the sake of clarity and convenience, that the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement be restated as so amended.
In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I

Definitions
    Section 1.01.    Certain Defined Terms. The defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings as set forth in Exhibit L attached hereto (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined).



    Section 1.02.    Other Interpretative Matters. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. All terms used in Article 9 of the UCC in the State of New York and not specifically defined herein, are used herein as defined in such Article 9.

    Section 1.04.    Conforming Changes Relating to SOFR. With respect to the Term SOFR Rate and Daily Simple SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Seller, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Seller and the
-2-


Purchasers of each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
Article II

Terms of the Purchases and Investments
    Section 2.01.    Purchase Facility.
    (a)    Investments. Upon a request by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.02, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Conduit Purchasers, ratably, in accordance with the aggregate of the Commitments of the Related Committed Purchasers with respect to each such Conduit Purchaser, severally and not jointly, may, in their sole discretion, make payments of Capital to the Seller on a revolving basis, and if and to the extent any Conduit Purchaser does not make any such payment of Capital or if any Group does not include a Conduit Purchaser, the Related Committed Purchaser(s) for such Conduit Purchaser or the Committed Purchaser for such Group, as the case may be, shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, make such payment of Capital to the Seller, in either case, from time to time during the period from the Initial Investment Date to the Termination Date. Each such payment of Capital by a Purchaser to the Seller shall constitute an Investment hereunder for all purposes. Under no circumstances shall any Purchaser be obligated to make any Investment if, after giving effect thereto:
    (i)    the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Facility Limit at such time;
    (ii)    the sum of (A) the Capital of such Purchaser, plus (B) the aggregate outstanding Capital of each other Purchaser in its Group, would exceed the Group Commitment of such Purchaser’s Group;
    (iii)    if such Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Committed Purchaser would exceed its Commitment; or
    (iv)    the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Capital Coverage Amount at such time.
    (b)    Sale of Receivables and Other Sold Assets. In consideration of the Purchasers’ respective agreements to make Investments in accordance with the terms hereof, the Seller, on the Initial Investment Date, on the date of each other Investment and on each other date occurring on or prior to the Termination Date, hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising (collectively, the “Sold Assets”): (i) all Sold Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Sold Receivables and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof
-3-


shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract, provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Seller shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor. Such sales, assignments and transfers by the Seller shall, in each case, occur and be deemed to occur for all purposes in accordance with the terms hereof automatically without further action, notice or consent of any party.
    (c)    Intended Characterization as a Purchase and Sale. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the transfer and conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge for security, and such purchase and sale of the Sold Assets hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 14.14). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (c) shall not be construed to limit or otherwise modify Section 5.05 or any rights, interests, liabilities or obligations of any party thereunder.
    (d)    Obligations Not Assumed. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the foregoing sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance set forth in Section 2.01(b) does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or liability of the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer, or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, any Sold Assets, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Seller, the Originators, the Servicer and such other Persons, as applicable.
    (e)    Selection, Designation and Reporting of Sold Receivables. The Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall select and identify from the Pool Receivables all Sold Receivables to be sold pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Seller shall not permit the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Sold Receivables to exceed the Aggregate Capital at any time; provided, further, no Receivable that is subject to any withholding Taxes shall be designated as a Sold Receivable. The Seller shall maintain (or cause the Servicer to maintain) books and records sufficient to readily identify the Sold Receivables. The Seller and Servicer shall cause all Sold Receivables to be identified on each Investment Request in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and on each Information Package delivered hereunder.
    Section 2.02.    Making Investments; Return of Capital. (a) The Seller may request an Investment by delivering to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent an Investment Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each such Investment Request shall be delivered on a Business Day by no later than (i) if the amount of Capital requested does not
-4-


exceed $50,000,000, 12:00 p.m. on the day the related requested Investment is to be made and (ii) otherwise, 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the day the related requested Investment is to be made, it being understood in each case that any such request made after such time specified in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day. Each Investment Request shall specify (i) the amount of Capital requested (which amount shall (x) not be less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 and (y) after giving effect to the addition of Pool Receivables to the Sold Receivables in connection with such Investment, not cause (1) a Capital Coverage Deficit to exist or (2) the Aggregate Capital to be less than an amount that is equal to the lesser of (A) sixty-six and sixty-seven hundredths percent (66.67%) of the Facility Limit at such time and (B) the Capital Coverage Amount at such time, (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Groups (which shall be ratable based on the Group Commitments), (iii) the account to which the Capital of such Investment shall be distributed, (iv) the date such requested Investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day) and (v) all Pool Receivables that are or, effective upon the making of such Investment, will be, Sold Receivables.
    (b)    (i) On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, deliver to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being funded by such Purchaser. On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Administrative Agent shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Seller in same day funds an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Capital to be funded by all Purchasers, at the account set forth in the related Investment Request.
    (ii)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser or Group Agent prior to the proposed date of any Investment that such Purchaser’s or Group Agent’s Group will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Group’s share of such Investment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Group has made such share available on such date in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)(i) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Group has not in fact made its share of the applicable Investment available to the Administrative Agent, then the Committed Purchaser in such Group and the Seller severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Committed Purchaser, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Seller, the Base Rate. If such Committed Purchaser pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Committed Purchaser’s Capital included in such Investment. If the Seller and such Committed Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period. Any
-5-


such payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Committed Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
    (c)    Each Committed Purchaser’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make available to the Seller or Administrative Agent any funds in connection with any Investment shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Investments are requested (it being understood, that no Committed Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Purchaser to make funds available to the Seller in connection with any Investment hereunder).
    (d)    The Seller shall return in full the outstanding Capital of each Purchaser on the Seller Obligation Final Due Date. Prior thereto, the Seller shall, on each Settlement Date, reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required under Section 4.01 and otherwise only in accordance with such Section 4.01 (subject to the priorities for payment set forth therein) by paying the amount of such reduction in accordance with Section 4.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to reduce, in whole or in part by payment only from Collections on Sold Receivables, the outstanding Capital of any or all Purchasers on any Business Day by delivering a Reduction Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent by no later than (i) if the amount of outstanding Capital to be reduced does not exceed $100,000,000, 3:00 p.m. on the date of such reduction and (ii) otherwise, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such reduction; provided, however, that (A) each such reduction shall not be less than $100,000 (unless the Capital of the applicable Purchaser or the Aggregate Capital, as applicable, would be reduced to zero) and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Capital Coverage Deficit existing at such time to zero, (B) any accrued Yield and Fees in respect of the portion(s) of Capital so reduced shall be paid in full on the immediately following Settlement Date and (C) it shall be a condition precedent to any such reduction in Capital that after giving effect to the reduction in the outstanding Capital proposed in such Reduction Notice, the outstanding Capital at such time would not be less than an amount equal to the lesser of (x) sixty-six and sixty-seven hundredths percent (66.67%) of the Facility Limit at such time and (y) the Capital Coverage Amount at such time; provided, further, if the outstanding Capital of any Committed Purchaser is reduced to zero, the Seller may, in its discretion reduce the Commitment of such Committed Purchaser to zero.
    (e)    The Seller may, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part. Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000,000 (unless the Commitment of any applicable Committed Purchaser shall be reduced to zero) or integral multiples of $100,000,000 in excess thereof, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than $1,000,000,000. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser shall be ratably reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Affected Person in the related Group shall have submitted a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 5.01 or any Purchaser in the related Group shall have become a
-6-


Defaulting Purchaser, at any time upon at least one (1) day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, reduce the Facility Limit in part by reducing the Commitment of the related Committed Purchaser on a non-ratable basis.
    (f)    In connection with any reduction of the Commitments, the Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Purchasers, cash from available Collections in an amount sufficient to pay (A) the Capital of Purchasers in each Group in excess of the Group Commitment of such Group and (B) all other outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Seller Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion) including, without duplication, any associated Breakage Fees. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts from available Collections first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any Breakage Fees, by paying such amounts to the Purchasers.
    (g)    So long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and upon prior notice to the Purchasers, the Seller may from time to time request an increase in the Commitment with respect to one or more Committed Purchasers or cause additional Persons to become parties to this Agreement, as purchasers, at any time following the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date; provided, that any such increase in such Committed Purchasers’ Commitments and the Commitments of all such additional Committed Purchasers may not exceed $2,000,000,000 in the aggregate during the life of this Agreement; provided, that each request for an increase and addition shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000,000. At the time of sending such notice with respect to any Purchaser, the Seller (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which such Purchasers and the Administrative Agent are requested to respond to the Seller’s request (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent). Each Committed Purchaser being asked to increase its Commitment and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller within the applicable time period whether or not such Person agrees, in its respective sole discretion, to the increase to such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. Any such Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Purchaser then being asked to increase its Commitment (or an additional Purchaser) and the Administrative Agent shall be required in order to approve any such request. If the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser is increased (or a new Person is added as Committed Purchaser) in accordance with this clause (g), the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser and the Seller shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase (or addition) and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase (or addition). If the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser is increased (or a new Person is added as Committed Purchaser) the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice of such increase (or addition) to each Purchaser and Group Agent.

    Section 2.03.    Yield and Fees. (a) On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Group Agent, each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the Structuring Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Seller, the members of the applicable Group (or their Group Agent on their behalf) and/or the Administrative Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the “Fee Letter”). Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Purchaser and each other Purchaser in the same Group as provided in Section 2.06.
    (b)    Each Purchaser’s Capital shall accrue Yield on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Yield Rate for such Capital (or each applicable portion thereof). The Seller shall pay all Yield (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Yield accrued on Term SOFR Tranches during a Yield Period regardless of whether the applicable Tranche Period has ended), Fees and Breakage Fees accrued during each Yield Period on each Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01.
    Section 2.04.    Records of Investments and Capital. Each Group Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the date and amount of each Investment made by the Purchasers in its Group hereunder, the Yield Rate with respect to the related Capital (and each portion thereof), the Yield accrued on such Purchasers’ Capital and each repayment and payment thereof and the Administrative Agent shall record such amounts and dates in the Register pursuant to Section 14.03(c). The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Seller hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Purchaser, together with all Yield accruing thereon and all other Seller Obligations.
    Section 2.05.    Selection of Yield Rates and Tranche Periods. (a) Subject to the following sentence, each Purchaser’s Capital (including all portions thereof) shall accrue Yield initially at Daily Simple SOFR plus the applicable SOFR Adjustment. Thereafter, so long as no Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Seller may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of SOFR Rate and/or Tranche Period borne by the Purchasers’ Capital or, subject to the minimum amount requirement set forth in Section 2.02, a portion thereof by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Tranche Period or Yield Period, as applicable; provided, that there shall not be more than three (3) Term SOFR Tranches outstanding hereunder at any one time; provided, further that for the avoidance of doubt, any change from Daily Simple SOFR to the Term SOFR Rate and/or any change to a Tranche Period applicable to any Capital (or portion thereof) shall not be effective until the Monthly Settlement Date occurring after the date of such request. Any such notices requesting the continuation or conversion of any Capital (or any portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent may be given by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
-8-


    (b)    If, by the time required in Section 2.05(a), the Seller fails to select a Tranche Period or SOFR Rate for any Capital (or portion thereof), such Capital (or portion thereof) shall automatically accrue Yield at Daily Simple SOFR plus the applicable SOFR Adjustment for the next occurring Yield Period.
    Section 2.06.    Defaulting Purchasers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser:
    (a)    Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Purchaser and each other Purchaser in the same Group.
    (b)    The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Purchaser and each other Purchaser in the same Group shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Purchasers have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 14.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 14.01, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Purchaser (or other Purchaser in the same Group) in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Purchaser or each Purchaser directly affected thereby (if such Purchaser is directly affected thereby).
(c)        In the event that one or more Committed Purchasers fails to fund any portion of its Investments (or the Capital thereof) by 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of the Investment specified in the related Investment Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the other Committed Purchasers not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, and each of the other Committed Purchasers (or the Related Conduit Purchasers on their behalf) shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Seller a supplemental Investment in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate Capital of the related Investment Request that was unfunded multiplied by such Committed Purchaser’s Percentage (which for purposes of this clause will not include the aggregate Commitment of the Committed Purchaser failing to make the Investment on such prior Business Day) and (b) the excess of (i) such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment over (ii) the product of such Committed Purchaser’s related Percentage multiplied by all outstanding Commitments (after giving effect to the supplemental Investment on such date).  In the event that the Committed Purchasers that originally failed to fund their Investments in respect of a applicable Investment Request, have not otherwise cured such failure, such supplemental Investments shall be made by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in same day funds no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day that is two (2) Business Days following the Business Day on which the notice described in the preceding sentence was received by such Committed Purchaser (it being understood that any such request received after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day). The Administrative Agent will make available to the Seller by wire transfer in same day funds at the account from time
-9-


to time designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrative Agent the amount of such supplemental Investments no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day such supplemental Investments are received from the Committed Purchasers.  If any Committed Purchaser which shall have failed to fund its Investment in respect of an Investment Request shall subsequently pay such amount, the Seller shall immediately remit such funds to the Administrative Agent which shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Investments made by the other Committed Purchasers (or the related Conduit Purchasers on their behalf) pursuant to this Section 2.06(c).  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of a Defaulting Purchaser (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied by the Servicer first to all other Committed Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Investments of such Defaulting Purchaser until such time as all Investments are held by the Committed Purchasers (or the related Conduit Purchasers on their behalf) pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Purchaser that are applied to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Purchaser, and each Committed Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Purchaser arising from that Committed Purchaser having become a Defaulting Purchaser.  No Defaulting Purchaser or any other Purchaser in the same Group shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) for any period during which that Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and the Seller shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Purchaser or any other Purchaser in the same Group for such period).
    (d)    In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Purchaser has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Purchaser to be a Defaulting Purchaser, then on such date such Purchaser shall purchase at par such of the Capital of the other Purchasers as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Purchaser to hold such Capital in accordance with its Percentage; provided, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Seller while such Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser, and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser that is not a Defaulting Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser having been a Defaulting Purchaser.
Article III

Seller Guaranty
    Section 3.01.    Guaranty of Payment. The Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other
-10-


payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Seller Guaranty”). The Seller Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. To the extent the obligations of the Seller hereunder with respect to the Seller Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then such obligations of the Seller shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws).
    Section 3.02.    Unconditional Guaranty. The obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Seller agrees that the Seller Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to any of the other Transaction Documents or any collateral, including the Sold Assets, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Obligations or otherwise, and the Seller hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Seller further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of the Seller Guaranty. The Seller further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Sold Assets, the Seller Collateral or any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the Seller Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Seller’s obligations under the Seller Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Seller that its obligations under the Seller Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Seller Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor. The Seller hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on the Seller Guaranty or acceptance of the Seller Guaranty. All dealings between any Obligor, any Originator, the
-11-


Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Seller Guaranty. The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Seller Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, Solvent. The Seller Guaranty and the obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Termination Events) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Sold Assets or other Seller Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Seller as an obligor in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations.
    Section 3.03.    Modifications. The Seller agrees that: (a) all or any part of any security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligation now or hereafter held for any Guaranteed Obligation may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interest or lien now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Obligor, any Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor and any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of Contracts or any other agreements or documents governing or giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated,
-12-


extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case without notice to or further assent by the Seller, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.
    Section 3.04.    Waiver of Rights. The Seller expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Seller Guaranty by the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest or lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests or liens, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations to which the Seller might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a condition of payment or performance by the Seller, to (i) proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person from any cause other than payment in full of the Sold Assets and the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any Applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Seller’s liability under the Seller Guaranty or the enforcement of the Seller Guaranty, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement and the Seller Guaranty.
-13-


    Section 3.05.    Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of the Seller under this Article III shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Seller agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
    Section 3.06.    Remedies. The Seller agrees that, as between the Seller, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article IX (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article IX) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Seller.
    Section 3.07.    Subrogation. The Seller hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Payout Date has occurred. The Seller further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
    Section 3.08.    Inducement. The Purchasers have been induced to make the Investments under this Agreement in part based upon the Seller Guaranty and the Seller desires that the Seller Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Seller, should Administrative Agent and the Purchasers desire to do so.
    Section 3.09.    Security Interest. (a) To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Guaranty and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and lien upon all property and assets of the Seller, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising and wherever located, including the following (collectively, the “Seller Collateral”):
-14-


    (i)    all Unsold Receivables;
    (ii)    all Related Security with respect to such Unsold Receivables;
    (iii)    all Collections with respect to such Unsold Receivables;
    (iv)    the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts, other than the Excluded Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts other than the Excluded Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein;
    (v)    all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement;
    (vi)    all other personal and fixture property or assets of the Seller of every kind and nature including, without limitation, all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC);
    (vii) the Pledged Investment Account and all Permitted Investments contained therein, the Pledged Deposit Account, and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing the Pledged Investment Account and the Pledged Deposit Account; and
(viii)    all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing;
provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract, provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Seller shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor.
    (b)    The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Seller Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a
-15-


secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.
    (c)    Immediately upon the occurrence of the Final Payout Date, the Seller Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Purchaser Parties hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Seller Collateral shall revert to the Seller; provided, however, that promptly following written request therefor by the Seller delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of the Seller, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Seller UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents as the Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
    (d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 5.05.
    Section 3.10.    Further Assurances. Promptly upon request, the Seller shall deliver such instruments, assignments or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser deems appropriate to evidence or perfect its security interest and lien on any of the Seller Collateral or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Article III.
    Section 3.11.    Release of Seller Collateral and Reconveyance of Certain Sold Receivables. Contemporaneously with any release and reconveyance of Transferred Assets pursuant to Section 8.4(b) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and without any further consideration other than as specified therein, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) agrees to reconvey to Buyer or its designee, all of its rights, title and interest in and to any such Transferred Assets constituting Sold Receivables or Sold Assets and to release any security interest it may have in, and all of its right, title and interest in and to the related Transferred Assets.
Article IV

Settlement Procedures and Payment Provisions
    Section 4.01.    Settlement Procedures. (a) The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Termination, segregate in a separate account designated by the Administrative Agent, which shall be an account maintained and controlled by the Administrative Agent unless the Administrative Agent otherwise instructs in its sole discretion), for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth below, all Collections on
-16-


Pool Receivables that are received by the Servicer or the Seller or received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however, that so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.03 are satisfied on such date, the Servicer may release to the Seller a portion of such Collections (each such release of Collections, a “Release”). On each Settlement Date, the Servicer (or, following its assumption of control of the Collection Accounts, the Administrative Agent) shall distribute any such Collections not previously Released in the following order of priority:
    (i)    first, to the Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Yield Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Servicer);
    (ii)    second, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser and other Purchaser Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees due to such Purchaser and other Purchaser Party for the immediately preceding Yield Period (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments), plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments) payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Purchaser or Purchaser Party;
    (iii)    third, as set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z) below, as applicable:
    (x)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the extent that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists on such date, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Capital Coverage Deficit to zero ($0);
    (y)    on and after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser at such time; or
    (z)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, at the election of the Seller and in accordance with Section 2.02(d), to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers at such time;
    (iv)    fourth, to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the
-17-


payment of all other Seller Obligations then due and owing by the Seller to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties; and
    (v)    fifth, the balance, if any, to be paid to the Seller for its own account.
Amounts payable pursuant to clauses first through sixth above shall be paid first from available Collections on Sold Receivables and other Sold Assets, and second, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables and other Seller Collateral. The Seller’s right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to clause seventh above shall, to the extent arising from Collections on Sold Receivables, constitute compensation to the Seller for the Seller’s provision of the Seller Guaranty of the Purchaser Parties’ interests in the Seller Collateral.
    (b)    All payments or distributions to be made by the Servicer, the Seller and any other Person to the Purchasers (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the related Group Agent at its Group Agent’s Account. Each Group Agent, upon its receipt in the applicable Group Agent’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties within its Group ratably; provided that if such Group Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Group Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties within its Group in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person in such Group) among all such Persons in such Group entitled to payment thereof.
    (c)    If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Obligor or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party, such Affected Person or such Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount.
    (d)    For the purposes of this Section 4.01:
    (i)    if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods, licenses or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof on the next Settlement Date, or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
-18-


Event of Termination, within two (2) Business Days, to a Collection Account subject to an Account Control Agreement (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a);
    (ii)    if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections 7.01(m) or 7.01(u) is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and shall pay the amount of such deemed Collection on the next Settlement Date, or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, within two (2) Business Days, to a Collection Account subject to an Account Control Agreement (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a) (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Section 4.01(d) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);
    (iii)    except as provided in clauses (i) or (ii) above or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and
    (iv)    if and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.
    Section 4.02.    Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid by the Seller or the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder shall be paid no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable Group Agent’s Account.
    (b)    All computations of Yield, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Increased Costs; Funding Losses; Taxes; Illegality and
Back-Up Security Interest
    Section 5.01.    Increased Costs.
    (a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
    (i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirements reflected in the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR);
    (ii)    subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (except to the extent such Taxes are (A) Indemnified Taxes for which relief is sought under Section 5.03, (B) Taxes described in clause (b) or (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
    (iii)    impose on any Affected Person any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) (A) affecting the Sold Assets, the Seller Collateral, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Program Support Agreement, any Capital or any participation therein or (B) affecting its obligations or rights to make Investments or fund or maintain Capital;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrative Agent, a Group Agent or a Purchaser hereunder or as a Program Support Provider with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) making any Investment or funding or maintaining any Capital (or any portion thereof) or (C) maintaining its obligation to make any Investment or to fund or maintain any Capital (or any portion thereof), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder, then, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Group Agent), the Seller shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
    (b)    Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law affecting such Affected Person or any lending office of such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of (x) increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or increasing the amount of high quality liquid assets such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, is required to maintain as a result of any funding commitment made by such Affected Person under any Transaction Document, (y) reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or (z) causing an internal
-20-


capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, in each case, as a consequence of (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the commitments of such Affected Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any related Program Support Agreement, (C) the Investments made by such Affected Person, or (D) any Capital (or portion thereof), to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Group Agent), the Seller will pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such increase, reduction or charge.
    (c)    Reserved.
    (d)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate.
    (e)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
    (f)    Anything in Section 5.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Affected Person enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in receivables, notes or other financial assets from one or more Persons, other than the Seller, that has entered into a receivables purchase agreement, receivables transfer agreement, loan agreement or funding agreement with such Person (each, an “Other Seller”) (or to provide liquidity or credit support therefor), such Affected Person shall ratably allocate the liability for any amounts under this Section 5.01(f), which are generally imposed on or applicable to such Affected Person, to the Seller and each Other Seller; provided, however, that if such amounts are solely attributable to the Seller and not attributable to any Other Seller, as determined in such Affected Person’s reasonable discretion, the Seller shall be solely liable for such amounts or if such amounts are attributable to Other Sellers and not attributable to the Seller, as determined in such Affected Person’s reasonable discretion, such Other Sellers shall be solely liable for such amounts. Any Affected Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01(a) agrees to use its reasonable
-21-


efforts to designate a different office or branch of such Affected Person as its lending office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts to be paid by the Seller, so long as any such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Person.
    (g)    Upon the receipt by the Seller of a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 5.01(a) by an Affected Person, if payment thereof shall not be waived by such Affected Person, the Seller shall request one or more of the other Purchasers in such Affected Person’s Group, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Group Agent for such Group (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), to acquire and assume all or a part of such Affected Person’s rights and obligations (if any) hereunder (a “Replacement Person”) and if no such other Purchaser in such Affected Person’s Group shall become the Replacement Person, the Seller shall request such claiming Affected Person’s Group Agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Seller at the Seller’s sole expense, to attempt to obtain a replacement bank, financial institution or commercial paper conduit, as applicable, satisfactory to the Seller and consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Group Agent for the applicable Group (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), to become the Replacement Person. Upon notice from the Seller, an Affected Person being replaced hereunder shall assign, without recourse, its rights and obligations (if any) hereunder, or a ratable share thereof, to the Replacement Person or Replacement Persons designated and consented to as provided in this Section 5.01(g) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the amount of such Affected Person’s aggregate outstanding Capital at such time or interests therein so assigned, all accrued and unpaid Yield thereon and any other amounts (including fees and any amounts owing under this Section 5.01) to which such Affected Person is entitled hereunder; provided, that the Seller shall have paid all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Affected Person which is a Group Agent may be replaced pursuant to this Section 5.01 unless (A) it has consented to such replacement or (B) a successor for such Group Agent has been duly appointed and such Group Agent shall have received payment of all amounts to which it is entitled hereunder; (ii) the Seller need not make any request under this Section 5.01(g) if the replacement of any claiming Affected Person would be more economically or administratively burdensome on the Seller or Servicer than not replacing such Affected Person or if such replacement would be unlawful, and (iii) no Affected Person shall be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
    Section 5.02.    Funding Losses. (a) The Seller will pay each Purchaser all Breakage Fees.
    (b)    A certificate of a Purchaser (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser, as specified in clause (a) above and delivered to the Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate.
-22-


    Section 5.03.    Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Seller or applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment to a Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party, then the Seller or applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
    (b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Seller. The Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
    (c)    Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and (ii) incremental Taxes that arise solely because an Investment or any Capital is successfully treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a purchase and sale of the Sold Receivables rather than as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Tax Recharacterization”), such indemnification will apply to any U.S. federal income taxes imposed, as necessary to make such Affected Person whole on an after tax basis taking into account the taxability of receipt of payments under this clause (ii) and any reasonable expenses (other than Taxes) solely arising out of the foregoing; provided, (1) that if the applicable Affected Person fails to give notice to the Seller of the imposition of any Indemnified Tax or Tax Recharacterization described in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c) within 120 days following its receipt of actual written notice of the imposition of such Tax, there will be no obligation for the Seller to pay interest or penalties attributable to the period beginning after such 120th day and ending 7 days after the Seller receives notice from the applicable Affected Person and (2) if the applicable Affected Person fails to give notice of a Tax Recharacterization described in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c) and such failure to notify the Seller materially prejudices the Seller’s ability to contest or challenge the Tax Recharacterization then no such incremental Taxes shall be owing and payable to such Affected Person. For purposes of calculating any indemnity under the foregoing clause (ii), it shall be assumed that each beneficial owner of an Investment or of any Capital is (A) entitled to, and will take full advantage of the benefits of any double taxation treaty between the United States and such party’s jurisdiction of organization or jurisdiction of operations (as applicable) and (B) will comply with all required documentation or certification requirements that would be necessary to achieve a reduced or to eliminate any otherwise applicable U.S. federal withholding taxes that
-23-


would apply to such party. In addition, the foregoing clause (ii) shall be the sole provision in this Agreement pursuant to which any beneficial owner of an Investment or Capital may seek an indemnity in the event of the successful treatment of an Investment or any Capital in a manner other than that described in the Intended Tax Treatment. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
    (d)    Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser (other than the Conduit Purchasers) shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Seller and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Seller, the Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 14.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser (or its Group Agent) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser (other than the Conduit Purchasers) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).
    (e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
    (f)    Status of Affected Persons. (i) Any Affected Person that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Affected Person, if reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Seller or the Administrative Agent to
-24-


determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A), 5.03(f)(ii)(B) and 5.03(g)) shall not be required if, in the Affected Person’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Person.
    (ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
    (A)    an Affected Person that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Affected Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
    (B)    any Affected Person that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Affected Person) from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable:
    (1)    in the case of such an Affected Person claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
    (2)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;
    (3)    in the case of such an Affected Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Affected Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
-25-


and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
    (4)    to the extent such Affected Person is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if such Affected Person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Affected Person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Affected Person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and
    (C)    any Affected Person that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
    (g)    Documentation Required by FATCA. If a payment made to an Affected Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
    (h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party
-26-


and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
    (i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser Party or any other Affected person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Seller Obligations and the Servicer’s obligations hereunder.
    (j)    Updates. Each Affected Person agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
    Section 5.04.    Inability to Determine SOFR Rate; Change in Legality. (a) If any Purchaser shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto absent manifest error) before the first day of any Yield Period (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or on any day (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily Simple SOFR), either that: (i) the SOFR Rate cannot be determined because it is not available or published on a current basis, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the SOFR Rate for such Tranche Period, Yield Period or day, as applicable, or (iii) the SOFR Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the applicable Purchaser (as conclusively determined by such Purchaser) of funding or maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Tranche Period, Yield Period or day, as applicable, such Purchaser shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Administrative Agent and the Seller before the first day of any Yield Period (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or on such day (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily Simple SOFR). Upon delivery of such notice: (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the SOFR Rate, and shall instead be funded at the Base Rate, unless and until such Purchaser shall have given notice to the Seller and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the SOFR Rate, the Yield Rate with respect to such Portion of Capital shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate on the last day of the then-current Yield Period
-27-


(with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or immediately (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily Simple SOFR).
    (b)    If at any time any time any Purchaser shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that the funding or maintenance of any Portion of Capital at or by reference to the SOFR Rate has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Purchaser in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), such Purchaser shall notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Purchaser notifies the Seller and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the SOFR Rate, and shall instead be funded at the Base Rate, unless and until such Purchaser shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent and the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the SOFR Rate, the Yield Rate with respect to such Portion of Capital shall automatically and immediately be converted to the Base Rate.
    (c)    (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document (and any Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Transaction Document” for purposes of this Section), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Seller and the Purchasers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Purchasers comprising the Majority Purchasers.
    (ii)    In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, that any such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes that results in any incremental material cost or expense for the Seller will not become effective without the consent of the Seller.
    (iii)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchasers of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (E) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if
-28-


applicable, any Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.
    (iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Tranche Period” or “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Tranche Period” or “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
    (v)    Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any request for an Investment, or a conversion to or continuation of Capital, accruing Yield at the SOFR Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Investment, or a conversion of Capital to Capital, accruing Yield at the Base Rate, and, for the avoidance of doubt, all outstanding Capital accruing Yield at the SOFR Rate shall automatically be converted to Capital accruing Yield at the Base Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
    (vi)    As used in this Section:
                Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of a Tranche Period or Yield Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for Yield calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

-29-


Benchmark” means, initially, the SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the SOFR Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent.

    (i)    the Administrative Agent may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that the Administrative Agent or such designee shall, as promptly as practicable, return to the Seller all amounts that it receives from such Obligors to the extent such amounts do not constitute Collections; provided, further, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor (if applicable) within two (2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors; provided, that the Administrative Agent or such designee shall, as promptly as

practicable, return to the Seller all amounts that it receives from such Obligors to the extent such amounts do not constitute Collections.
    (ii)    the Administrative Agent may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract, provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Seller shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor; and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;
    (iii)    the Administrative Agent may notify the Collection Account Banks that the Seller, and the Servicer will no longer have any access to the Collection Accounts;

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon an Event of Termination are in addition to and not exclusive of the rights and remedies contained herein and under the other Transaction Documents.
    (b)    The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, to collect any and all
-67-


amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Sold Assets and Seller Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
    (c)    The Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Servicer, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Servicer and on behalf of the Servicer necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Servicer on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Sold Assets and Seller Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Purchaser Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any material taxes, including any material sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Sold Assets or Seller Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, or any Originator thereunder.
    (b)    Turner hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Turner shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Turner conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. In connection with any such processing functions, the Seller shall pay to Turner its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Seller’s own funds (subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.01).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Purchaser Party or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of any Purchaser Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Purchaser Party; (d) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
    Section 11.03.    Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with
-73-


the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.
    Section 11.04.    Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Committed Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the respective Percentage of such Committed Purchaser, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Group Agents or the Majority Group Agents, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchaser Parties. The Purchaser Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Group Agents or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Group Agent, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Group Agents.
    Section 11.07.    Notice of Events of Termination; Action by Administrative Agent.

Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, each Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Servicer and the Pool Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents, within thirty (30) days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents within sixty (60) days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

    Section 11.10.    Structuring Agent. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Structuring Agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability,
-75-


responsibility or duty under this Agreement, other than the Structuring Agent’s right to receive fees pursuant to Section 2.03.

    Section 11.11.    Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Purchaser hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Purchaser that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any Erroneous Payment Notice) that any funds received by such Purchaser from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Purchaser (whether or not known to such Purchaser) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of Capital, Yield, Fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Purchaser shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) such Purchaser shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Purchaser under this Section 11.11(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
    (b)    Without limiting the immediately preceding Section 11.11(a), each Purchaser hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Purchaser further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Purchaser shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
-76-


    (c)    Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding clause (b) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
    (d)    The parties hereto hereby agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Purchaser that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Purchaser with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Seller Obligations to the extent the amount of such Erroneous Payment is in excess of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Seller or any of its Affiliates for the purpose of satisfying Seller Obligations.
    (e)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

    Section 12.03.    Group Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also a Group Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not a Group Agent. A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.
    Section 12.04.    Indemnification of Group Agents. Each Committed Purchaser in any Group agrees to indemnify the Group Agent for such Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the proportion of the Percentage of such Committed Purchaser to the aggregate Percentages of all Committed Purchasers in such Group, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Group Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such Group Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Group Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    Section 12.06.    Notice of Events of Termination. No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Purchaser Party, the Servicer or the Seller stating that an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination has occurred hereunder and describing
-78-


such Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination. If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchaser Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination as may be directed by Committed Purchasers in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of this Article XII), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its Group.
    Section 12.07.    Non-Reliance on Group Agent and Other Parties. Each Purchaser Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group Agent’s directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent. Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by a Group Agent to any Purchaser Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Party in its Group with any information concerning the Seller or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
    Section 12.08.    Successor Group Agent. Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Purchaser(s) in such Group. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Group Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.
    Section 12.09.    Reliance on Group Agent. Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Purchaser Party in such Group Agent’s Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit and on behalf of each of the Purchaser Parties in its Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser Parties in its Group.

The Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, the Conduit Purchasers, the other Committed Purchasers, the Seller and the Servicer shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

-87-


Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
    (g)    Assignments by Agents. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, as the case may be, and its successors and assigns; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, so long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Seller’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

-95-


Receivables Purchase Agreement), if any, with respect to the conversion of the Outstanding Capital into the Converted Investments, shall be due and payable on the first Settlement Date that occurs after the Restatement Effective Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01 (with such Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees accorded the same priorities for payment as Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees under this Agreement).

EMPLOYEE RSU FORM #ParticipantName# Dear #ParticipantFirstName#, Congratulations, you have been awarded a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) by Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (the “Company”). A restricted stock unit entitles you to receive a specific number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a future date, assuming that you satisfy conditions of the Plan and the implementing agreement. We would like you to have an opportunity to share in the continued success of the Company through this RSU under the Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Company’s general program to offer equity and equity-type awards to eligible employees is referred to as the Performance Equity Program (“PEP”). The following represents a brief description of your grant. Additional details regarding your RSU are provided in the attached Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) and in the Plan. In addition, if you are located in a country other than the United States, you will receive an International Addendum with your award under the Plan that you must review and acknowledge. If you are subject to this requirement, the International Addendum is attached. RSU Grant Summary Date of Grant #GrantDate# RSU Shares #QuantityGranted# Vesting Schedule #VestingDateandQuantity#  You have been granted an RSU for shares (“Shares”) of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Common Stock for the number of Shares specified under “RSU Shares” in the chart.  The potential value of your RSU increases if the price of the Company’s stock increases, but you also have to continue to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (except as the Grant Agreement provides) to actually receive such value. Of course, the value of the stock may go up and down over time.  You will not receive the Shares represented by the RSU until the RSU vests. Your RSU vests as provided in the chart above under “Vesting Schedule” and “Vesting Dates,” assuming you remain an employee or become and remain a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and subject to the terms in the Grant Agreement.  Once you have received the Shares, you will own the Shares and may decide whether to hold the Shares, sell the Shares or give the Shares to someone as a gift.  Your ability to receive Shares under the RSU is conditioned upon compliance with any local laws that apply to you. Please note the Clawback section of the Grant Agreement, which reflects an important policy of ours. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has determined that awards made under the Plan are subject to a clawback in certain circumstances. By accepting this award, you agree that the Compensation Committee may change the Clawback section of any or all of the grant agreements from time to time without your further consent to reflect changes in law or company policy. You can access the People & Culture Portal and review the Equity Page for more information by clicking Compensation & Recognition and then Equity.


 
Page 2 WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT FOR EMPLOYEES Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you a restricted stock unit (the “RSU”) under the Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The RSU lets you receive a specified number (the “RSU Shares”) of shares (“Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock upon satisfaction of the conditions to receipt. The individualized communication you received (the “Cover Letter”) provides the details for your RSU. It specifies the number of RSU Shares, the Date of Grant, the schedule for vesting (the “Vesting Schedule”), and the Vesting Date(s). The RSU is subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Plan. This grant agreement does not cover all of the rules that apply to the RSU under the Plan; please refer to the Plan document. Capitalized terms are defined either further below in this grant agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) or in the Plan. If you are located in a country other than the United States, you are also receiving (or previously have received) an International Addendum to this Grant Agreement (the “International Addendum”). The International Addendum is incorporated into the Grant Agreement by reference and supplements the terms of this Grant Agreement and future grants to you under the Plan. The Plan document is available on the Fidelity web site. The Prospectus for the Plan, the Company’s S-8, Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available for your review on the Company’s web site. You may also obtain paper copies of these documents upon request to the Company’s People and Culture department. Neither the Company nor anyone else is making any representations or promises regarding the duration of your service, vesting of the RSU, the value of the Company’s stock or of this RSU, or the Company’s prospects. The Company is not providing any advice regarding tax consequences to you or regarding your decisions regarding the RSU. You agree to rely only upon your own personal advisors. NO ONE MAY SELL, TRANSFER, OR DISTRIBUTE THE RSU OR THE SECURITIES THAT MAY BE RECEIVED UNDER IT WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, INC. OR OTHER INFORMATION AND REPRESENTATIONS SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.


 
Page 3 In addition to the Plan’s terms and restrictions, the following terms and restrictions apply: 1. Vesting Schedule. Your RSU becomes nonforfeitable (“Vested”) as provided in the Cover Letter and the Grant Agreement assuming you remain employed (or serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) until the Vesting Date(s). For purposes of this Grant Agreement, employment with the Company will include employment with any Subsidiary whose employees are then eligible to receive Awards under the Plan (provided that a later transfer of employment to an ineligible Subsidiary will not terminate employment unless the Board determines otherwise). While you are employed (or serving as a member of the Board), vesting will accelerate fully on your death, Disability or Retirement. If your employment and, if applicable, Board service is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause (other than by reason of your death or Disability) before the RSU is fully vested and such termination does not constitute a Retirement, the RSU will remain or become Vested on the original schedule as though you remained working through any Vesting Date(s) occurring during the period that is the greater of 90 days after the date of termination and the period over which you receive base salary severance payments from the Company pursuant to an applicable employment or severance agreement, plan or policy, if any. “Cause” has the meaning provided in Section 11.2(b) of the Plan. “Disability” has the meaning provided in Section 2.1 of the Plan. “Retirement” means your employment and, if applicable, board service ends for any reason other than Cause, your death or your Disability at a point at which (i) you are at least age 55, (ii) you have been employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (or served as a member of the Board), any of its current or future Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc for at least ten years, where your period of service is determined using the Company’s Prior Employment Service Policy or a successor policy chosen by the Committee, and (iii) you have been actively employed or actively served as a member of the Company’s Board as described in the foregoing clause (ii) for at least six months since the Date of Grant. 2. Change in Control. Notwithstanding the Plan’s provisions, if an Approved Transaction, Control Purchase, or Board Change (each a “Change in Control”) occurs before the RSU is fully Vested and while you remain actively employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (or serve as a member of the Board) (without reference to any deemed continuous employment or service following an involuntary termination without Cause pursuant to the Vesting Schedule section above), and provided that there is an equitable substitution or replacement for the RSU in connection with a Change in Control, the RSU will have accelerated Vesting as a result of the Change in Control only if (i) within 12 months after the Change in Control, (A) the Company or a Subsidiary terminates your employment other than for Cause, or (B) if you are a party to an employment agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary that permits you to resign for Good Reason, you resign for Good Reason or (ii) during such 12-month period after the Change in Control, you are given notice by the Company that, in connection with a termination of your employment by the Company or a Subsidiary other than for Cause, you shall no longer be required to provide services for the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries as an employee or member of the Board and you cease to provide such services, but due to the length of any statutorily or contractually required notice period, your employment actually terminates following the expiration of such 12-month period. “Good Reason” has the meaning provided in your employment agreement with the Company (or a Subsidiary), if any. Accelerated Vesting will accelerate the Distribution Date only if and to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”); otherwise, any RSUs that may become Vested on an accelerated basis, whether on or following a Change in Control (or


 
Page 4 otherwise hereunder), will be settled pursuant to the original Vesting Schedule and its associated Distribution Date(s). 3. Distribution Date. Subject to any overriding provisions in the Plan or in Section 14 below, you will receive a distribution of the Shares equivalent to your Vested RSU Shares as soon as practicable following the date on which you become Vested (with the actual date being the “Distribution Date”) and, in any event, no later than 60 days following the Vesting Date(s) or other event hereunder on which the RSUs become Vested (or, if earlier, December 31 of the calendar year in which an applicable Vesting Date occurred), unless the Board determines that you may make a timely deferral election to defer distribution to a later date and you have made such an election (in which case the deferred date will be the “Distribution Date”). 4. Clawback. If the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) determines, in its sole discretion, that you engaged in fraud or misconduct as a result of which or in connection with which the Company is required to or decides to restate its financial statements, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, impose any or all of the following: (a) Immediate expiration of the RSU, whether vested or not, if granted within the first 12 months after issuance or filing of any financial statement that is being restated (the “Recovery Measurement Period”); and (b) Payment or transfer to the Company of the Gain from the RSU, where the “Gain” consists of the greatest of (i) the value of the RSU Shares on the applicable Distribution Date on which you received them within the Recovery Measurement Period, (ii) the value of RSU Shares received during the Recovery Measurement Period, as determined on the date of the request by the Committee to pay or transfer, (iii) the gross (before tax) proceeds you received from any sale of the RSU Shares during the Recovery Measurement Period, and (iv) if transferred without sale during the Recovery Measurement Period, the value of the RSU Shares when so transferred. This remedy is in addition to any other remedies that the Company may have available in law or equity. You expressly agree that the Company may take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to effectuate the foregoing (as applicable to you) or applicable law without further consent or action being required by you. Payment is due in cash or cash equivalents within 10 days after the Committee provides notice to you that it is enforcing this clawback. Payment will be calculated on a gross basis, without reduction for taxes or commissions. The Company may, but is not required to, accept retransfer of shares in lieu of cash payments. 5. Restrictions and Forfeiture. You may not sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer any interest (“Transfer”) in the RSU Shares until the RSU Shares are distributed to you. Any attempted Transfer that precedes the Distribution Date is invalid. Unless the Board determines otherwise or the Grant Agreement provides otherwise, if your employment or service with the Company (including its Subsidiaries) terminates for any reason before your RSU is Vested, then you will forfeit the RSU (and the Shares to which they relate) to the extent that the RSU does not otherwise vest as a result of the termination, pursuant to the rules in the Vesting Schedule or Change in Control section. You forfeit any unvested RSU immediately if the Company or a Subsidiary terminates your employment for Cause or if you resign your employment (other than a


 
Page 5 resignation that would constitute a Retirement). The forfeited RSU will then immediately revert to the Company. You will receive no payment for the RSU if you forfeit it. Your employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary will be treated as terminating through a resignation that does not qualify for treatment applicable to terminations without Cause if either (i) the entity that employs you ceases to qualify as a Subsidiary because of its sale, distribution, or other disposition to an unrelated entity or (ii) because the entity that employs you sold a substantial portion of its assets and your employment ended for any reason at or in connection with the closing of that sale, distribution, or other disposition. For the avoidance of doubt, however, any termination of your employment or service by reason of either of the occurrences described in (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence may nevertheless qualify for treatment applicable to terminations upon Retirement to the extent such Retirement constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A. 6. Limited Status. You understand and agree that the Company will not consider you a shareholder for any purpose with respect to the RSU Shares, unless and until the RSU Shares have been issued to you on the Distribution Date. You will not receive dividends with respect to the RSU. 7. Voting. You may not vote the RSU. You may not vote the RSU Shares unless and until the Shares are distributed to you. 8. Taxes and Withholding. The RSU provides tax deferral, meaning that the RSU Shares are not taxable to until you actually receive the RSU Shares on or around the Distribution Date. You will then owe taxes at ordinary income tax rates as of the Distribution Date at the Shares’ value. As an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, you may owe FICA and HI (Social Security and Medicare) taxes before the Distribution Date. Issuing the Shares under the RSU is contingent on satisfaction of all obligations with respect to required tax or other required withholdings (for example, in the U.S., Federal, state, and local taxes). The Company may take any action permitted under Section 11.9 of the Plan to satisfy such obligation, including, if the Board so determines, satisfying the tax obligations by (i) reducing the number of RSU Shares to be issued to you by that number of RSU Shares (valued at their Fair Market Value on the Distribution Date) that would equal all taxes required to be withheld (at their minimum withholding levels), subject to approval by the Committee if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (ii) accepting payment of the withholdings from a broker in connection with a sale of the RSU Shares or directly from you, or (iii) taking any other action under Section 11.9 of the Plan. 9. Compliance with Law. The Company will not issue the RSU Shares if doing so would violate any applicable Federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. You may not sell or otherwise dispose of the RSU Shares in violation of applicable law. 10. Additional Conditions to Receipt. The Company may postpone issuing and delivering any RSU Shares for so long as the Company determines to be advisable to satisfy the following: (a) its completing or amending any securities registration or qualification of the RSU Shares or its or your satisfying any exemption from registration under any Federal or state law, rule, or regulation; (b) its receiving proof it considers satisfactory that a person seeking to receive the RSU Shares after your death is entitled to do so;


 
Page 6 (c) your complying with any requests for representations under the Plan; and (d) your complying with any Federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations. 11. Additional Representations from You. If the vesting provisions of the RSU are satisfied and you are entitled to receive RSU Shares at a time when the Company does not have a current registration statement (generally on Form S-8) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) that covers issuances of shares to you, you must comply with the following before the Company will issue the RSU Shares to you. You must (a) represent to the Company, in a manner satisfactory to the Company’s counsel, that you are acquiring the RSU Shares for your own account and not with a view to reselling or distributing the RSU Shares; and (b) agree that you will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the RSU Shares unless: (i) a registration statement under the Act is effective at the time of disposition with respect to the RSU Shares you propose to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of; or (ii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel or other information and representations it considers satisfactory to the effect that, because of Rule 144 under the Act or otherwise, no registration under the Act is required. 12. No Effect on Employment or Other Relationship. Nothing in this Grant Agreement restricts the Company’s rights or those of any of its affiliates to terminate your employment or other relationship at any time and for any or no reason. The termination of employment or other relationship, whether by the Company or any of its affiliates or otherwise, and regardless of the reason for such termination, has the consequences provided for under the Plan, this Grant Agreement and any applicable employment or severance agreement or plan. 13. No Effect on Running Business. You understand and agree that the existence of the RSU will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stock, with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Company’s Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether or not of a similar character to those described above. 14. Section 409A. The RSU is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and must be construed consistently with that section. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Grant Agreement to the contrary, if the RSU Vests in connection with your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (as determined by the Company), and if (x) you are then a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such separation from service (as determined by the Company, by which determination you agree you are bound) and (y) the distribution of RSU Shares under such accelerated RSU will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if distributed to you within the six month period following your separation from service, then the distribution under such accelerated RSU will not be made until the earlier of (i) the date six months and one day following the date of your separation from service or (ii) the 10th day after your date of death. Neither the Company nor you shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such RSU Shares or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by


 
Page 7 Section 409A. In no event may the Company or you defer the delivery of the RSU Shares beyond the date specified in the Distribution Date section, unless such deferral complies in all respects with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b) related to subsequent changes in the time or form of payment of nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, or any successor regulation. In any event, the Company makes no representations or warranty and shall have no liability to you or any other person, if any provisions of or distributions under this Grant Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but not to satisfy the conditions of that section. 15. Unsecured Creditor. The RSU creates a contractual obligation on the part of the Company to make a distribution of the RSU Shares at the time provided for in this Grant Agreement. Neither you nor any other party claiming an interest in deferred compensation hereunder shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific assets of the Company. Your right to receive distributions hereunder is that of an unsecured general creditor of Company. 16. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware will govern all matters relating to the RSU, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. 17. Notices. Any notice you give to the Company must follow the procedures then in effect. If no other procedures apply, you must send your notice in writing by hand or by mail to the office of the Company’s Secretary (or to the Chair of the Board if you are then serving as the sole Secretary). If mailed, you should address it to the Company’s Secretary (or the Chair of the Board) at the Company’s then corporate headquarters, unless the Company directs RSU holders to send notices to another corporate department or to a third-party administrator or specifies another method of transmitting notice. The Company and the Board will address any notices to you using its standard electronic communications methods or at your office or home address as reflected on the Company’s personnel or other business records. You and the Company may change the address for notice by notice to the other, and the Company can also change the address for notice by general announcements to RSU holders. 18. Amendment. Subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company, the Company may cancel the RSU and provide a new Award under the Plan in its place, provided that the Award so replaced will satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made and no such action will adversely affect the RSU to the extent then Vested. 19. Plan Governs. Wherever a conflict may arise between the terms of this Grant Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. The Board may adjust the number of RSU Shares and other terms of the RSU from time to time as the Plan provides.


 
EMPLOYEE NQSO AGREEMENT #ParticipantName# Dear #ParticipantFirstName#, Congratulations, you have been given a stock option grant in recognition of your contributions to the success of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (the “Company”). A stock option grant gives you the right to purchase a specific number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a fixed price, assuming that you satisfy conditions of the Plan and the implementing agreement. We would like you to have an opportunity to share in the continued success of the Company through this stock option grant under the Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Company’s general program to offer equity and equity-type awards to eligible employees is referred to as the Performance Equity Program (“PEP”). The following represents a brief description of your grant. Additional details regarding your award are provided in the attached Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) and in the Plan. In addition, if you are located in a country other than the United States, you will receive an International Addendum with your award under the Plan that you must review and acknowledge. If you are subject to this requirement, the International Addendum is attached. Stock Option Grant Summary Date of Grant #GrantDate# Option Shares #QuantityGranted# Grant Price per Share #GrantPrice# Exercisability Dates #VestingDateandQuantity# Term Expiration Date #ExpirationDate#  You have been granted a nonqualified stock option to purchase a certain number of shares of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Common Stock at a specific price. The total number of shares under your grant is specified in the chart above under “Option Shares.” The price per share is under “Grant Price per Share.”  The potential value of your stock option grant increases if the price of the Company’s stock increases, but you also have to continue to work for the Company (except as the Grant Agreement provides) to actually receive such value. Of course, the value of the stock may go up and down over time.  You may not exercise the stock option (actually purchase the shares) until it becomes exercisable. Your stock option becomes exercisable as provided in the chart above under “Exercisability Dates”, assuming you remain an employee or become and remain a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and subject to the terms in the Grant Agreement.  Whether or not you decide to exercise your stock option and purchase the stock is your decision, and, except with respect to certain instances when your stock option will be automatically exercised, you have until the stock option expires (which will be no later than the seventh anniversary of the Date of Grant, which date is specified in the chart above under Term Expiration Date, but can end earlier in various situations) to make that decision.


 
Page 2  Once you have purchased the stock, you will own the stock and may decide whether to hold the stock, sell the stock or give the stock to someone as a gift.  In most countries, you will be taxed on your stock option as soon as you exercise the stock option to purchase or sell the stock. However, tax laws vary by country, so please check with your tax advisor or government tax office.  Your ability to purchase shares through the exercise of a stock option is conditioned upon compliance with any local laws that apply to you. Please note the Clawback section of the Grant Agreement, which reflects an important policy of ours. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has determined that awards under the Plan are subject to a clawback in certain circumstances. By accepting this award, you agree that the Compensation Committee may change the Clawback section of any or all of the grant agreements from time to time without your further consent to reflect changes in law or company policy.

Page 3 WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, INC. PERFORMANCE EQUITY PROGRAM NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT FOR EMPLOYEES Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted you an option (the “Option”) under the Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option lets you purchase a specified number (the “Option Shares”) of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a specified price per share (the “Grant Price”). The individualized communication you received (the “Cover Letter”) provides the details for your Option. It specifies the number of Option Shares, the Grant Price, the Date of Grant, the schedule for exercisability (“Exercisability Dates”), and the latest date the Option will expire (the “Term Expiration Date”). The Option is subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Plan. This Grant Agreement does not cover all of the rules that apply to the Option under the Plan; please refer to the Plan document. Capitalized terms are defined either further below in this grant agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) or in the Plan. If you are located in a country other than the United States, you are also receiving (or previously have received) an International Addendum to this Grant Agreement (the “International Addendum”). The International Addendum is incorporated into the Grant Agreement by reference and supplements the terms of this Grant Agreement and future grants to you under the Plan. The Plan document is available on the Fidelity web site. The Prospectus for the Plan, the Company’s S-8, Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available for your review on the Company’s web site. You may also obtain paper copies of these documents upon request to the Company’s People and Culture department. Neither the Company nor anyone else is making any representations or promises regarding the duration of your service, exercisability of the Option, the value of the Company’s stock or of this Option, or the Company’s prospects. The Company is not providing any advice regarding tax consequences to you or regarding your decisions regarding the Option. You agree to rely only upon your own personal advisors. NO ONE MAY SELL, TRANSFER, OR DISTRIBUTE THE OPTION OR THE SECURITIES THAT MAY BE PURCHASED UPON EXERCISING THE OPTION WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY, INC. OR OTHER INFORMATION AND REPRESENTATIONS SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.


 
Page 4 In addition to the Plan’s terms and restrictions, the following terms and restrictions apply: 1. Option Exercisability. While your Option remains in effect under the Option Expiration section, below, you may exercise any exercisable portions of the Option (and buy the Option Shares) under the timing rules of this section. The Option will become exercisable on the schedule provided in the Cover Letter to this Grant Agreement, assuming you remain employed (or serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) through each Exercisability Date. Any fractional shares will be carried forward to the following Exercisability Date, unless the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) selects a different treatment. For purposes of this Grant Agreement, employment with the Company will include employment with any Subsidiary whose employees are then eligible to receive Awards under the Plan (provided that a later transfer of employment to an ineligible Subsidiary will not terminate employment unless the Committee determines otherwise). Exercisability will accelerate fully on your Retirement, or, while you are employed (or serving as a member of the Company’s Board), your Disability or death. If the Company terminates your employment and, if applicable, your service on the Board without Cause during a calendar year before the Option is fully exercisable and such termination does not constitute a Retirement, the Option shall remain or become exercisable over time as though you remained working through any Exercisability Dates occurring during the period that is the greater of 90 days after the date of termination and the period over which you receive base salary severance payments from the Company pursuant to an applicable employment or severance agreement plan or policy, if any (the “Additional Vesting Period”). “Cause” has the meaning provided in Section 11.2(b) of the Plan. “Disability” has the meaning provided in Section 2.1 of the Plan. “Retirement” means your employment and, if applicable, board service ends for any reason other than Cause, your death or your Disability at a point at which (i) you are at least age 55, (ii) you have been employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (or served as a member of the Company’s Board), any of its current or future Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or Discovery Communications, LLC for at least ten years, where your period of service is determined using the Company’s Prior Employment Service Policy or a successor policy chosen by the Committee, and (iii) you have been actively employed or actively served as a member of the Company’s Board as described in the foregoing clause (ii) for at least six months since the Date of Grant. Acceleration upon Retirement does not apply in countries subject to the EU Directive on Discrimination. Your employment or service with the Company will be treated as terminating through a resignation that does not qualify for treatment applicable to terminations without Cause if either (i) the entity that employs you ceases to qualify as a Subsidiary because of its sale, distribution, or other disposition to an unrelated entity or (ii) because the entity that employs you sold a substantial portion of its assets and your employment ended for any reason at or in connection with the closing of that sale, distribution, or other disposition. For the avoidance of doubt, however, any termination of your employment or service by reason of either of the occurrences described in (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence may nevertheless qualify for treatment applicable to terminations upon Retirement. 2. Change in Control. Notwithstanding the Plan’s provisions, if an Approved Transaction, Control Purchase, or Board Change (each a “Change in Control”) occurs before the Option is fully exercisable and while you remain actively employed by the Company or a Subsidiary (or serve as a member of the Board) (without reference to the Additional Vesting Period, above), the Option will have accelerated exercisability as a result of the Change in Control only if within 12 months after the Change in


 
Page 5 Control, the Company or Subsidiary terminates your employment without Cause, or, if you are a party to an employment agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary that permits you to resign for Good Reason, you resign for Good Reason. “Good Reason” has the meaning provided in your employment agreement with the Company (or a Subsidiary), if any. The Committee reserves its ability under Section 11.1(b) of the Plan to vary this treatment if the Committee determines there is an equitable substitution or replacement award in connection with a Change in Control. 3. Option Expiration. You cannot exercise the Option after it has expired. The Option will expire no later than the close of business on the Term Expiration Date. Unexercisable portions of the Option expire immediately when you cease to be employed (unless you are concurrently remaining or becoming a member of the Board, or unless the Company or a Subsidiary terminates your employment without Cause, as specified above). If the Company terminates your employment for Cause, the Option will immediately expire without regard to whether it is then exercisable. Exercisable portions of the Option remain exercisable until the first to occur of the following (the “Final Exercise Date”), each as defined further in the Plan or the Grant Agreement, and then immediately expire:  Immediately upon termination of employment by the Company for Cause  The 30th day after your employment (or directorship) ends if you resign other than on Retirement (including resignation for Good Reason, if applicable) (the “30-Day Period”)  The 90th day after the Additional Vesting Period ends (the “90-Day Period”)  For death, Disability, or Retirement, the first anniversary of the date employment ends. If you die during the 30-Day Period or the 90-day period after employment ends, the first anniversary of the date employment ends will be substituted for the end of the 30-Day Period or the 90-Day Period, as applicable.  The Term Expiration Date The Committee can override the expiration provisions of this Grant Agreement, such as in connection with a Change in Control. 4. Automatic Exercise. At close of business on the Final Exercise Date (or the preceding trading day if the Final Exercise Date is not a trading day), if the Exercise Spread Test (defined below) is met, the Option will be automatically exercised using the “net exercise” method described below, without regard to the notice requirement and with additional shares retained for purposes of satisfying the minimum applicable tax withholdings (the “Automatic Exercise”). The Option satisfies the “Exercise Spread Test” if the per share spread between the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock and the Grant Price (the “Exercise Spread”) on the Final Exercise Date is at least one dollar. If the Exercise Spread Test is not satisfied, the unexercised portions of the Option will expire as of close of business on the Final Exercise Date. For avoidance of doubt, you may exercise any exercisable portion of the Option prior to the time of an Automatic Exercise and no portion of the Option may or will be exercised at or after your termination for Cause.


 
Page 6 The Automatic Exercise procedure is provided as a convenience and as a protection against inadvertent expiration of an Option. Because any exercise of an Option is normally your responsibility, you hereby waive any claims against the Company or any of its employees or agents if an Automatic Exercise does not occur for any reason and the Option expires. 5. Method of Exercise and Payment for Shares. Subject to this Grant Agreement and the Plan, and other than for portions of the Option that are automatically exercised as described in the section, you may exercise the Option only by providing a written notice (or notice through another previously approved method, which could include a web-based or voice- or e-mail system) to the Secretary of the Company or to whomever the Committee designates, received on or before the date the Option expires. Each such notice must satisfy whatever then-current procedures apply to that Option and must contain such representations (statements from you about your situation) as the Company requires. You must, at the same time, pay the Grant Price using one or more of the following methods: (a) Cash/Check. Cash or check in the amount of the Grant Price payable to the order of the Company; (b) Cashless Exercise. An approved cashless exercise method, including directing the Company to send the stock certificates (or other acceptable evidence of ownership) to be issued under the Option to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company as your agent in exchange for the broker’s tendering to the Company cash (or acceptable cash equivalents) equal to the Grant Price and, if you so elect, any required tax withholdings; or (c) Net Exercise. By delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to or as directed by the Company, as a result of which you will receive (i) the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option being exercised less (ii) such number of shares as is equal to (X) the aggregate Grant Price for the portion of the Option being exercised divided by (Y) the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. The Committee can approve additional payment methods, including use of a fully or partially recourse promissory note, subject to any prohibitions of applicable law. 6. Clawback. If the Company’s Board or the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that you engaged in fraud or misconduct as a result of which or in connection with which the Company is required to or decides to restate its financial statements, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, impose any or all of the following: (a) Immediate expiration of the Option, whether vested or not, if granted within the first 12 months after issuance or filing of any financial statement that is being restated (the “Recovery Measurement Period”) (b) As to any exercised portion of the Option (to the extent, during the Recovery Measurement Period, the Option is granted, vests, is exercised, or the purchased shares are sold), prompt payment to the Company of any Option Gain. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Option Gain” per share you received on exercise of options is for stock you have sold or transferred without sale, the greater of (i) the Exercise Spread and (ii) the spread between the price at which you sold (or the fair market value on the date of other disposition of) the stock and the Grant Price paid, and


 
Page 7 for stock you have retained, the greater of (i) Exercise Spread and (ii) the spread between the closing price on the date of the Committee’s request for repayment and the Grant Price paid. This remedy is in addition to any other remedies that the Company may have available in law or equity. You expressly agree that the Company may take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to effectuate the foregoing (as applicable to you) or applicable law without further consent or action being required by you. Payment is due in cash or cash equivalents within 10 days after the Committee provides notice to you that it is enforcing this clawback. Payment will be calculated on a gross basis, without reduction for taxes or commissions. The Company may, but is not required to, accept retransfer of shares in lieu of cash payments. 7. Withholding. Issuing the Option Shares is contingent on satisfaction of all obligations with respect to required tax or other required withholdings (for example, in the U.S., Federal, state, and local taxes generally are due upon exercise of the Option). Except as provided in the Automatic Exercise section, the Company may take any action permitted under Section 11.9 of the Plan to satisfy such obligation, including, if the Committee so determines, satisfying the tax obligations by (i) reducing the number of Option Shares to be issued to you in connection with any exercise of the Option by that number of Option Shares (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise) that would equal all taxes required to be withheld (at their minimum withholding levels), subject to approval by the Committee if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (ii) accepting payment of the withholdings from a broker in connection with a Cashless Exercise of the Option or directly from you, or (iii) taking any other action under Section 11.9. You may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements. 8. Compliance with Law. You may not exercise the Option if the Company’s issuing stock upon such exercise would violate any applicable Federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. You may not sell or otherwise dispose of the Option Shares in violation of applicable law. As part of this prohibition, you may not use the Cashless Exercise methods if the Company’s insider trading policy then prohibits you from selling to the market. 9. Additional Conditions to Exercise. The Company may postpone issuing and delivering any Option Shares for so long as the Company determines to be advisable to satisfy the following: (a) its completing or amending any securities registration or qualification of the Option Shares or its or your satisfying any exemption from registration under any Federal or state law, rule, or regulation; (b) its receiving proof it considers satisfactory that a person seeking to exercise the Option after your death is entitled to do so; (c) your complying with any requests for representations under the Plan; and


 
Page 8 (d) your complying with any Federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations. 10. Additional Representations from You. If you exercise the Option at a time when the Company does not have a current registration statement (generally on Form S-8) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) that covers issuances of shares to you, you must comply with the following before the Company will issue the Option Shares to you. You must — (a) represent to the Company, in a manner satisfactory to the Company’s counsel, that you are acquiring the Option Shares for your own account and not with a view to reselling or distributing the Option Shares; and (b) agree that you will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Option Shares unless: (i) a registration statement under the Act is effective at the time of disposition with respect to the Option Shares you propose to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of; or (ii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel or other information and representations it considers satisfactory to the effect that, because of Rule 144 under the Act or otherwise, no registration under the Act is required. 11. No Effect on Employment or Other Relationship. Nothing in this Grant Agreement restricts the Company’s rights or those of any of its affiliates to terminate your employment or other relationship at any time and for any or no reason. The termination of employment or other relationship, whether by the Company or any of its affiliates or otherwise, and regardless of the reason for such termination, has the consequences provided for under the Plan, this Grant Agreement and any applicable employment or severance agreement or plan. 12. Not a Stockholder. You understand and agree that the Company will not consider you a stockholder for any purpose with respect to any of the Option Shares until you have exercised the Option, paid for the shares, and received evidence of ownership. 13. No Effect on Running Business. You understand and agree that the existence of the Option will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or other stock, with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Company’s common stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether or not of a similar character to those described above. 14. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware will govern all matters relating to the Option, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. 15. Notices. Any notice you give to the Company must follow the procedures then in effect. If no other procedures apply, you must send your notice in writing by hand or by mail to the office of the Company’s Secretary (or to the Chair of the Committee if you are then serving as the sole Secretary). If mailed, you should address it to the Company’s Secretary (or the Chair of the Committee) at the Company’s then corporate headquarters, unless the Company directs optionees to send notices to another corporate department or to a third-party administrator or specifies another method of transmitting notice. The Company and the Committee will address any notices to you using its standard electronic communications methods or at your office or home address as reflected on the


 
Page 9 Company’s personnel or other business records. You and the Company may change the address for notice by like notice to the other, and the Company can also change the address for notice by general announcements to optionees. 16. Amendment. Subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company, the Company may cancel the Option and provide a new Award in its place, provided that the Award so replaced will satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made and no such action will adversely affect the Option to the extent then exercisable. 17. Plan Governs. Wherever a conflict may arise between the terms of this Grant Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. The Committee may adjust the number of Option Shares and the Grant Price and other terms of the Option from time to time as the Plan provides.

(a) AT&T Shares Fund Transfers. Any portion of any Spinco Participant’s account balance in the Remainco U.S. Savings Plan that is invested in the AT&T Shares Fund as of the Spinco Distribution Date will not be transferred to the Spinco U.S. Savings Plan in connection with the Spinco Distribution Date and will instead remain invested in the AT&T Shares Fund for a period of up to approximately six (6) months following the Spinco Distribution Date (such approximate six month period, the “Sunset Period”). Remainco will establish rules for (i) any such Spinco Participant to invest such amounts in different investment funds offered under the Remainco U.S. Savings Plan during the Sunset Period, (ii) the distribution of such amounts if any applicable Spinco Participant has a termination of employment with Spinco during the Sunset Period, and (iii) the transfer of such amounts to the Spinco U.S. Savings Plan during or at the end of such Sunset Period (provided that any such transfer will be in either cash or in-kind mutual fund interests, and there will not be a transfer of shares of Remainco Common Stock to the Spinco U.S. Savings Plan).

4.Treatment of Remainco Equity-Based Awards and Long-Term Cash Awards Held By Spinco Employees on Remainco Forms of Award Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 8.2 and 9.1 of the Employee Matters Agreement, the parties agree that Spinco Employees who hold equity-based awards and long-term cash awards on “Remainco forms” (as opposed to “Spinco forms”) of award agreements shall be treated as follows:
(c) Remainco RSU Awards. Upon the Closing, a prorated portion of each Remainco RSU Award held by a Spinco Employee on a “Remainco form” that is outstanding and unvested as of the Closing shall vest based on time served from the grant date through the Closing Date (less any previously vested portion of the award). Such prorated portion shall remain an award denominated in Remainco Common Stock and shall be equitably adjusted as determined by the Remainco Compensation Committee to reflect the Spinco Distribution and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the terms and conditions applicable to the original Remainco RSU Award. The portion of the Remainco RSU Award that does not vest in connection herewith shall be forfeited. Following the Closing, RMT Partner shall grant such




Spinco Employee an RMT Partner RSU Award to replace such forfeited portion. The number of shares of RMT Partner Series A Common Stock to which such RMT Partner RSU Award relates shall be equal to the product, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares, obtained by multiplying (i) the number of unvested shares of Remainco Common Stock relating to the forfeited portion of the corresponding Remainco RSU Award by (ii) the RMT Partner Equity Adjustment Ratio, and the RMT Partner RSU Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Closing as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Remainco RSU Award immediately prior to the Closing (except that any reference to a “Surplus Termination of Employment” or “Surplus” termination under the Remainco RSU Award, and the corresponding consequences of such a termination, shall be eliminated in the replacement RMT Partner RSU Award and each such replacement RMT Partner RSU Award shall instead provide that upon the holder’s involuntary termination of employment that results in the payment of severance to such holder, such holder shall vest in a pro-rated portion of such replacement RMT Partner RSU Award based on the holder’s termination date, which pro-rated portion shall be paid promptly, and in any event no later than 74 days, following such termination and the remainder of such replacement RMT Partner RSU Award shall be forfeited).
(d) Remainco Restricted Stock Awards. Upon the Closing, a prorated portion of each Remainco Restricted Stock Award held by a Spinco Employee on a “Remainco form” that is outstanding and unvested as of the Closing shall vest based on time served from the grant date through the Closing Date (less any previously vested portion of the award). Such prorated portion shall remain an award denominated in Remainco Common Stock and shall be equitably adjusted as determined by the Remainco Compensation Committee to reflect the Spinco Distribution and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the terms and conditions applicable to the original Remainco Restricted Stock Award. The portion of the Remainco Restricted Stock Award that does not vest in connection herewith shall be forfeited. Following the Closing, RMT Partner shall grant such Spinco Employee an RMT Partner RSU Award to replace such forfeited portion. The number of shares of RMT Partner Series A Common Stock to which such RMT Partner RSU Award relates shall be equal to the product, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares, obtained by multiplying (i) the number of unvested shares of Remainco Common Stock relating to the forfeited portion of the corresponding Remainco Restricted Stock Award by (ii) the RMT Partner Equity Adjustment Ratio, and the RMT Partner RSU Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Closing as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Remainco Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Closing (except that any reference to a “Surplus Termination of Employment” or “Surplus” termination under the Remainco Restricted Stock Award, and the corresponding consequences of such a termination, shall be eliminated in the replacement RMT Partner RSU Award and each such replacement RMT Partner RSU Award shall instead provide that upon the holder’s involuntary termination of employment that results in the payment of severance to such holder, such holder shall vest in a pro-rated portion of such replacement RMT Partner RSU Award based on the holder’s termination date, which pro-rated portion shall be paid promptly, and in any event no later than 74 days, following such termination and the remainder of such replacement RMT Partner RSU Award shall be forfeited).
(e) Remainco Performance Share Awards. Upon the Closing, a prorated portion (based on time served from the grant date through the Closing Date) of each Remainco Performance Share Award held by a Spinco Employee on a “Remainco form” that is outstanding and unvested as of the Closing shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance in accordance with its terms. Such prorated portion shall remain an award denominated in Remainco Common Stock and shall be equitably adjusted as determined by the Remainco Compensation Committee to reflect the Spinco Distribution and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the terms and conditions applicable to the original




Remainco Performance Share Award. The portion of the Remainco Performance Share Award that does not remain eligible to vest in connection herewith shall be forfeited. Following the Closing, RMT Partner shall grant such Spinco Employee an RMT Partner RSU Award to replace such forfeited portion.

However, there are certain WarnerMedia business assets held outside the WM LLC chain of ownership. Further, there are certain non- Retained Assets extracted prior to the public spin-off. Step Plan -off and combination. This Step Plan was developed with a view towards achieving this realignment in a tax-efficient manner, while balancing a number of competing priorities. In addition, while we believe the transactions depicted herein are feasible, we are still undertaking tax and non-tax due diligence on the Step Plan.¹ f the key aspects of the Step Plan to facilitate your review. Organization and Summary of Step Plan This Step Plan is organized into five sections, summarized as follows: Section A WM Max income tax purposes that conducts the HBO Max business, is held outside the WM LLC ownership chain. Section A contains the steps for consolidating this ownership under WM LLC. Certain of these steps have already been executed. Section B QOFs in Opportunity Zones under Section 1400Z-2(a)) that are Retained Assets. Section B contains the steps for extracting the QOF ownership interests from the WM LLC ownership structure. Section C WMCH federal income tax purposes that owns both WarnerMedia business assets (Regional Sports Networks and Otter Media business) and Retained Assets, is held outside the WM LLC ownership chain. Section C contains the steps for both extracting the Retained Assets from WMCH and consolidating the ownership of WMCH under WM LLC. Section D Currently, there are certain aircraft that are part of the WarnerMedia business that are held outside the WM LLC ownership chain. Section D contains the steps for transferring the aircrafts to WM LLC, which have already been executed. Section E Certain internal distributions to reduce or eliminate intercompany accounts among historic WarnerMedia entities. Ordering and Timing The steps in each section are intended to be implemented in the order as described. However, because there is limited interaction between the steps in each section, the sections do not need to be implemented in any particular order. Except as otherwise described herein, the majority of the steps will be executed close in time to the public spin-off. Expected Representations from Discovery A number of the transactions included in this Step Plan are intended to qualify as tax-free under various subchapter C provisions. In some cases, qualification under these provisions depends, in part, on whether or not certain actions are planned to be taken or not taken in the future. Accordingly, we will be requesting from Discovery customary representations associated with certain steps of this Step Plan. We look forward to collaboratively working through this process with you. 1. Any reference to the characterization of particular transaction herein refers only to its currently intended US federal income tax treatment and does not represent a final determination or conclusion with respect to such treatment.
