2.    Amendments to Section 1.1.

(a)    The definition of “FCC Applications” in Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by deleting in its entirety and replacing it as follows:

““FCC Applications” means those applications (including the Petition for Declaratory Ruling) required to be filed with the FCC to obtain the approvals of the FCC pursuant to the Communications Act and FCC Rules necessary to consummate the (a) transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Contribution Agreement and (b) the Post-Closing Transfers; provided, that upon the occurrence of a Post-Closing Transfer Restriction with respect to any of the Post-Closing Transfers, the applicable Post-Closing Transfer(s) shall be excluded from this definition of FCC Applications.”

(b)    Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definition after the definition of “Person”:

-2-

““Post-Closing Transfer Agreements” means all agreements and instruments entered into by the Parent Restructuring Entities in connection with the Post-Closing Transfers, including those set forth on Annex A hereto.”

3.    Amendment to Section 6.6. Section 6.6 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended to include a new subclause (k) as follows:

“(k) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Post-Closing Transfer Restriction” shall have occurred if the FCC (or its staff) conveys to the parties with reasonable clarity that it will not grant the FCC Applications as a result of any of the Post-Closing Transfers or any of the Post-Closing Transfers do not receive HSR clearance after filing the necessary notification and report forms under the HSR Act and observing the applicable waiting period or extensions thereof. Upon the occurrence of a Post-Closing Transfer Restriction, (i) the applicable Post-Closing Transfer(s) will be excluded from the FCC Applications and the parties shall immediately withdraw, file, or amend the FCC Applications and any other related filings to give effect to this change (for clarity, in order to authorize the Merger without such Post-Closing Transfer(s)) and (ii) the Parent Restructuring Entities shall be required to comply with this Section 6.6 without relying on such Post-Closing Transfer(s). The Post-Closing Transfer Agreement Parties hereby agree that the Post-Closing Transfer Agreements shall specify (and shall, to the extent already entered into prior to the date hereof, be amended effective as of the date hereof to specify) that: (A) there shall be no conditions to the obligations of the Post-Closing Transfer Agreement Parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Post-Closing Transfer Agreements, other than (x) the approvals by the FCC and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (or extension thereof) under the HSR Act of the applicable Post-Closing Transfers and (y) the consummation of the Teton Merger, (B) there shall be no rights of the Post-Closing Transfer Agreement Parties (or any other person) to terminate any Post-Closing Transfer Agreements other than upon the valid termination of the Merger Agreement and (C) Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Contribution Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Post-Closing Transfers, the Post-Closing Transfer Agreement Parties and the Post-Closing Transfer Agreements, in each case, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth therein.”

4.    Amendment to Section 6.6. Section 6.6 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended to include a new subclause (l) as follows:

“(l) For purposes of this Section 6.6, (A) unless a Post-Closing Transfer Restriction has occurred and (B) except with respect to any obligation to consummate or make effective the Post-Closing Transfers prior to the Closing, (i) the definition of “Restructuring” shall include the Post-Closing Transfers, (ii) the definition of “Restructuring Agreements” shall include the Post-Closing Transfer Agreements and (iii) the definition of “Parent Restructuring Entities” shall include the Post Closing Transfer Agreement Parties, and, for the avoidance of doubt, each of the Post-Closing Transfer Agreement Parties agrees to comply with all obligations of the Parent Restructuring Entities contained in this Section 6.6 to the extent they apply to the Post-Closing Transfers and Post-Closing Transfer Agreements after giving effect to this Section 6.6(l) (for clarity, to the same extent as the Parent Restructuring Entities are required to comply with their obligations with respect to the Restructuring and the Restructuring Agreements). Without limiting the foregoing, without the Company’s prior written consent, each of the Post Closing Transfer Agreement Parties agrees to not amend, terminate or waive any provision

-3-

of any of the Post-Closing Transfer Agreements if such amendment, termination or waiver is an amendment, termination or waiver of any section of the Post-Closing Transfer Agreements that relates to efforts to obtain regulatory approvals, closing conditions or the termination right of any party thereto.”

5.    Amendment to Section 6.2(d). Section 6.2(d) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended to include a new proviso at the end of the first sentence thereof as follows:

“; provided further that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Post-Closing Transfer Agreement to the contrary, the VHF Assets (as defined in that certain Option Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2020, by and between Estrella Media, Inc. and WFAA-TV, Inc.) shall be excluded from (and shall not be a part of) any Post-Closing Transfer and any Post-Closing Transfer Agreement unless and until the Company provides its prior written consent for such VHF Assets to be included as part of the Post-Closing Transfers.”

6.    Joinder. In consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement, each of the Post-Closing Transfer Agreement Parties agrees to make the representations, and to comply with each of the covenants and obligations, applicable to the Post-Closing Transfer Agreement Parties (and where applicable, the Parent Restructuring Entities) as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

7.    Merger Agreement Remains in Effect. Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect and nothing in this Amendment shall otherwise affect any other provision of the Merger Agreement or the rights and obligations of the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parent Restructuring Entities agrees that nothing in this Amendment shall limit in any way any of the provisions of the Merger Agreement, including Section 6.6 thereof.

8.    References to the Merger Agreement. After giving effect to this Amendment, each reference in the Merger Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereof,” “hereunder” or words of like import referring to the Merger Agreement shall refer to the Merger Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

9.    Incorporation by Reference. Sections 9.3 (Counterparts; Effectiveness), 9.4 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction), 9.6 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL), 9.7 (Notices), 9.9 (Severability), 9.12 (Headings), 9.15 (Interpretation) and 9.17 (Non-Recourse) of the Merger Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.
