Each of the Parent and the Borrower agrees to take, and the Borrower agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to take, in each case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to obtain from the FCC and/or RCA or any other Governmental Authority such approval as may be necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to assign or transfer control of the Operating Licenses or any related Authorization pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, that neither the Parent, the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries shall be required to execute any form, certificate or application partly or wholly in blank or to execute any such document signed subject to penalties for false statements that contains assertions or statements that the Parent, the Borrower or any such Subsidiary does not know to be true or which fails to contain information which the Parent, the Borrower or any such Subsidiary believes in good faith is required to be included for such form, certificate or application to be materially complete and not misleading. (ii) Except to the extent prohibited by any applicable rule or regulation of the RCA or FCC as in effect as of the date hereof, or unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld), the Parent and the Borrower agree to take all actions necessary or desirable to cause all Title III authorizations issued by the FCC and all Operating Licenses and related Authorizations to continue to be held by the applicable License Subsidiaries. (iii) Except to the extent prohibited by any applicable rule or regulation of the RCA or FCC as in effect as of the date hereof, or unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld), the Parent and the Borrower agree to take all actions necessary or desirable to cause each after-acquired Operating License and related Authorization to be held in the applicable License Subsidiary, provided that to the extent the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary shall not have received FCC or RCA approval with respect to the foregoing at the scheduled closing of the acquisition of such Operating License, the Borrower shall comply with the foregoing requirement as soon as practicable following such acquisition (but in any event within 120 days after such acquisition (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld)).
