the FCC Licenses (i) could be revoked, canceled or suspended, and (ii) would not be renewed or extended in the ordinary course of business. None of SICC,
its Subsidiaries, or the Shareholders has entered into any obligation, agreement, arrangement or understanding to transfer the FCC Licenses or that would
