          (b) At Closing, (i) the Closing Escrow Deposit shall be delivered by Escrow Agent to Seller in cash by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to an account designated by Seller, (ii) the balance of the cash portion of the Purchase Price in excess of the Escrow Deposit, subject to the adjustments described in Section 1.6 to be made as of the Closing Date, shall be delivered by Buyer to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to an account designated by Seller.

          1.6 Prorations and Adjustments to the Purchase Price.

          (a) All prepaid revenue, prepaid expenses, accrued income and accrued expenses of the Stations as of 12:01 A.M. local Bakersfield time, on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”) shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be adjusted and allocated between Seller and Buyer to reflect the principle that all revenue, income and expenses arising from the operation of the Stations or relating to the Assets before the Effective Time shall be for the account of Seller, and all revenue, income and expenses arising from the operation of the Stations or relating to the Assets from and after the Effective Time shall be for the account of Buyer. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding: (i) payments for program rights shall be pro-rated or adjusted based on the value of the programs or the percentage of runs of a program performed under any program rights agreement, including those monthly payments for the month in which the Closing Date, and (ii) FCC regulatory fees (not including filing fees related to the FCC Applications) shall be prorated based upon the time during the FCC fiscal year during which each of Buyer and Seller held the FCC Licenses. Any adjustments or prorations made under this Section 1.6 shall be treated as a reduction or increase in the Purchase Price, as applicable.

          (b) Such prorations shall include all ad valorem and other property taxes, utility expenses, liabilities and obligations under Assumed Contracts, rents and similar prepaid and deferred items and all other expenses and obligations, such as deferred revenue and prepayments, attributable to the ownership and operation of the Stations that straddle the periods before and after the Effective Time. To the extent not known, real estate and personal property taxes shall be apportioned on the basis of taxes assessed for the preceding year, with a reapportionment as soon as the new tax rate and valuation can be ascertained even if such is ascertained after the Adjustment Amount is finally determined. Any and all agency commissions that are subject to adjustment after the Effective Time based on revenue, volume of business done or services rendered in part before the Effective Time and in part on or after the Effective Time shall be borne by Seller and Buyer ratably in proportion to the revenue, volume of business done or services rendered, as the case may be, by each with respect to the Stations during the applicable period.

          (c) To the extent not inconsistent with the express provisions of this Agreement, the allocations and prorations made pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be made in accordance with GAAP.

          (d) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth Seller’s estimate of the net amount by which the Purchase Price is to be increased or decreased in accordance with Sections 1.6(a), (b) and (c) of this Agreement as of the Closing (the “Adjustment Amount”) together with a schedule setting forth the pro rata adjustments of assets and liabilities required as of the Effective Time, in reasonable detail, and the components thereof (the “Preliminary Adjustment Statement”). If the Adjustment Amount reflected on the Preliminary Adjustment Statement is a credit to Buyer, then the Purchase Price payable at Closing shall be reduced by the amount of the preliminary Adjustment Amount, and if the Adjustment Amount reflected on the Preliminary Adjustment Statement is a charge to Buyer, then the Purchase Price payable at Closing shall be increased by the amount of such preliminary Adjustment Amount. For a period of ninety

(90) days after Closing, Buyer and its auditors and Seller and its auditors may review the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and the related books and records of Seller with respect to the Stations, and Buyer and Seller will in good faith seek to reach agreement on the final Adjustment Amount. If agreement is reached within such 90-day period, then promptly thereafter Seller shall pay to Buyer or Buyer shall pay to Seller, as the case may be, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the agreed Adjustment Amount and (ii) the preliminary Adjustment Amount indicated in the Preliminary Adjustment Statement. If agreement is not reached within such 90-day period, then the dispute resolution provisions of Section 1.6(e) shall apply.

          (e) If the parties do not reach an agreement on the Adjustment Amount within the 90-day period specified in Section 1.6(d), then Buyer and Seller shall submit to Ernst & Young (the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution by the Accounting Firm any and all matters directly relating to the computation of the Adjustment Amount that remain in dispute; provided, however, that the Accounting Firm shall not resolve any issues relating to the interpretation of this Agreement or any other legal issues. Within sixty (60) days after the end of such 90-day-period, Buyer and Seller shall submit their respective positions to the Accounting Firm, in writing, together with any other materials relied upon in support of their respective positions. Buyer and Seller shall make available to the Accounting Firm any books and records and work papers relevant to the preparation of the Accounting Firm’s computation of the Adjustment Amount. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision resolving such matters in dispute within thirty (30) days following the submission of such materials to the Accounting Firm and, upon completion of its review, to inform the parties in writing of its own determination of the Adjustment Amount and the basis for its determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section shall be final and binding on the parties. Within five (5) calendar days after the Accounting Firm delivers to the parties its written determination of the Adjustment Amount, Seller shall pay to Buyer, or Buyer shall pay to Seller, as the case may be, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Adjustment Amount as determined by the Accounting Firm and (ii) the preliminary Adjustment Amount indicated in the Preliminary Adjustment Statement.

          (f) Buyer and Seller agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. Except as specified in the following sentence, the cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm) pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be borne equally by Buyer on the one hand and Seller on the other hand. The fees and expenses (if any) of Buyer’s independent auditors and attorneys incurred in connection with the review of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and related books and records shall be borne by Buyer, and the fees and expenses (if any) of Seller’s independent auditors and attorneys incurred in connection with their review of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and related books and records shall be borne by Seller.

          (g) With respect to Contracts in effect as of the Closing Date under which Seller has agreed to provide commercial advertising time on the Stations after the Closing Date in exchange for property or services in lieu of, or in addition to, cash (“Trade Agreements”), the parties shall make an adjustment to reflect the difference between (A) the

value, as of the Closing Date, of all advertising time required to be broadcast by the Stations after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Trade Agreements, and (B) the value of all property or services to be received by the Stations after the Closing plus all property or services received by the Station before the Closing to the extent included in the Assets pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Trade Agreements. To the extent that the amount described in the foregoing clause (A) exceeds the amount described in the foregoing clause (B) by an amount that is greater than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward by the amount in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000); in the event that the amount described in clause (A) exceeds the amount described in the clause (B) by an amount that is equal to or less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), such amounts are equal or the amount described in clause (A) is less than clause (B), there shall be no adjustment under this paragraph in respect of Trade Agreements. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall be entitled to all goods and services to be provided to the Stations after the Closing Date under the Trade Agreements. Substantially all of the Trade Agreements as of the date hereof are listed on Schedule 1.6(g) hereto. Buyer shall, as additional consideration, fully assume, perform, discharge and be fully responsible for all obligations under Trade Agreements.

          1.7 Collection of Accounts Receivable.

          (a) At the Closing, Seller shall designate Buyer, by means of a mutually acceptable agency agreement, as its agent solely for purposes of collecting on behalf of Seller the Accounts Receivable. Seller shall deliver to Buyer, on or after the Closing Date, a complete and detailed statement of the Accounts Receivable. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Accounts Receivable during the period (the “Collection Period”) beginning at the Effective Time and ending one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date consistent with Seller’s customary practices for collection of its accounts receivables; provided, however, that such efforts shall not include hiring attorneys or collection agencies to collect such Accounts Receivable. Any payment received by Buyer (i) at any time following the Effective Time, (ii) from a customer of a Station after the Effective Time that was also a customer of that Station prior to the Effective Time and that is obligated with respect to any Accounts Receivable and (iii) that is not designated as a payment of a particular invoice or invoices or as a security deposit or other prepayment, shall be presumptively applied to the accounts receivable for such customer outstanding for the longest amount of time and, if such accounts receivable shall be an Accounts Receivable, remitted to Seller in accordance with Section 1.7(b); provided further, however, that if, prior to the Effective Time, Seller or, after the Effective Time, Seller or Buyer received or receives a written notice of dispute from a customer with respect to an Accounts Receivable that has not been resolved, then Buyer shall apply any payments from such customer to such customer’s oldest, non-disputed accounts receivable, whether or not an Accounts Receivable. Buyer shall obtain the prior written approval of Seller before referring any of the Accounts Receivable to a collection agency or to an attorney for collection. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller for any uncollected Accounts Receivable. During the Collection Period, neither Seller nor any of its agents, without the consent of Buyer shall make any direct solicitation of any customers owing the Accounts Receivable for collection purposes.

          (b) On or before the fifth (5th) day following the end of each calendar month in the Collection Period, Buyer shall deposit into an account identified by Seller at the time of Closing the amounts collected during the preceding month of the Collection Period with respect to the Accounts Receivable. Buyer shall furnish Seller with a list of the amounts collected during such calendar month and in any prior calendar months with respect to the Accounts Receivable and a schedule of the amount remaining outstanding under each particular account. Seller shall be entitled during the sixty-day period following the Collection Period to inspect, copy and audit the records maintained by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.7, upon reasonable advance notice.

          (c) Following the expiration of the Collection Period, Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Section 1.7, except that Buyer shall immediately pay over to Seller any amounts subsequently paid to it with respect to any Accounts Receivable.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

          5.1 FCC Approval.

          (a) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the prior consent and approval of the FCC. Buyer and Seller shall jointly file with the FCC substantially complete applications (the “Assignment Applications”) to request the FCC’s consent to the voluntary assignment of the FCC Licenses from Seller to Buyer (the “FCC Consent”) within ten (10) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement so long as Buyer has delivered the Escrow Deposit to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.4 above; provided, however, that if any FCC-imposed freeze on the filing of broadcast license assignment applications is in effect during such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Assignment Applications shall be filed not more than one (1) business day after such freeze is lifted. Buyer and Seller shall each pay its own expenses in connection with the preparation and prosecution of the Assignment Applications and shall share any filing fee(s) associated with the Assignment Applications equally. Seller and Buyer shall prosecute the Assignment Applications before the FCC, including opposing any petitions to deny filed against the Assignment Applications, with all commercially reasonable diligence, and otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts in order to obtain the FCC Consent promptly and in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. Each party shall promptly provide to the other party a copy of any pleading, order or other document served on them or a copy of any formal inquiry or request by the FCC or the substance of any informal FCC inquiry relating to any such FCC Application. If FCC reconsideration or review, or if judicial review shall be sought with respect to the FCC Consent by a third party or upon the FCC’s own motion, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in opposing such requests for FCC reconsideration or review or for judicial review.

          (b) Except as provided in clause (c) or (d) below, each party hereto covenants and agrees to (i) prepare, file and prosecute any alternative application, petition, motion, request or other filing (including any motion for leave to withdraw or dismiss any Assignment Application filed by the parties with the FCC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) (the “Additional Applications”); (ii) file any amendment or modification to the FCC Applications; (iii) otherwise take any other action with respect to the FCC as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iv) cooperate in good faith with the other party hereto with respect to the foregoing, all as may be reasonably determined by Buyer or Seller to be

necessary, appropriate or advisable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner and within the time period contemplated by this Agreement.

          (c) Each party agrees to comply with any condition imposed on it by the FCC Consent, except that no party shall be required to comply with, or consummate the transaction subject to, a condition if compliance with the condition could reasonably be expected to materially adversely effect it. If any party to this Agreement shall seek FCC reconsideration or review, or judicial review, of a materially adverse condition imposed by the FCC, the other party shall cooperate fully with the party seeking reconsideration or review of such condition; provided, however, that neither party shall seek or cause to be sought, without the prior written consent of the other party, FCC reconsideration or review, or judicial review, of any condition or qualification that is not a materially adverse condition. For purposes of this Agreement, a “materially adverse condition” shall not include any condition generally applicable to the broadcast industry or a transaction of this kind.

          (d) If the Closing shall not have occurred for any reason within the original effective period of any FCC Consent, and neither party shall have terminated this Agreement pursuant to its rights under Section 8.1, the parties shall jointly request an extension or extensions of the effective period of such FCC Consent. No extension of the effective period of any FCC Consent shall limit the exercise by either party of its right to terminate the Agreement under Section 8.1.

          5.2 Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including furnishing information to the other party required in connection with obtaining any Consents or making any filings with Governmental Authorities.

          5.3 Risk of Loss.

          (a) The risk of loss, forfeiture or damage to the Assets shall be upon Seller at all times prior to the Closing. In the event of loss, forfeiture or damage to the Assets, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof (the “Seller’s Risk of Loss Notice”) and if the lost, forfeited or damaged Assets are capable of being replaced or repaired for an aggregate amount less than $550,000, then Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, replace or repair such Assets prior to the Closing or deliver to Buyer at the Closing an amount in cash equal to the cost of replacement or repair of such Assets, as determined by Seller in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount required to replace or repair such Assets exceeds $550,000, Seller may elect in the Seller’s Risk of Loss Notice not to replace or repair such Assets (which election must be set forth in Seller’s Risk of Loss Notice); provided, however, that in the event Seller elects not to replace or repair such Assets, Buyer, at its option, may elect within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Seller’s Risk of Loss Notice to (i) terminate this Agreement without either party being subject to a claim by the other for liquidated damages or any other claims for damages, or (ii) waive any default or breach with respect to the loss or damage and receive a $550,000 credit at Closing. Either

party may extend the Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in order to allow Seller to complete the repair or replacement. This Section 5.3 shall not modify or limit any other conditions precedent to the obligation of the Buyer.

          (b) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid either Station being off the air for three (3) or more consecutive days or five (5) or more days in any thirty (30) day period. Seller shall give prompt written notice to Buyer if either of the following (a “Specified Event”) shall occur: (i) the regular broadcast transmissions of one of the Stations in the normal and usual manner are interrupted or discontinued for more than twenty-four (24) hours in any fourteen (14) day period, on a cumulative basis, whether or not consecutive; or (ii) one of the Stations is operated at less than its licensed antenna height above average terrain or at less than ninety percent (90%) of its licensed effective radiated power for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours or five (5) or more days, whether or not consecutive, during any period of thirty (30) consecutive days. If a Specified Event shall occur, then, provided that Buyer is not in default under this Agreement, Buyer may, at its option: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller not more than ten (10) days after the expiration of such fourteen (14) day, seventy-two (72) hour or thirty (30) day period, as the case may be (without either party being subject to a claim by the other for liquidated damages or any other claims for damages), or (ii) waive any default or breach with respect to the loss or damage and receive a $250,000 credit at Closing. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.3, the parties shall be released and discharged from any further obligation hereunder (without being subject to a claim by Seller for liquidated damages or any other claims for damages). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has an application pending with the FCC to change KBFX-CA’s assigned Channel from 58 to 22 and if such application is granted, Seller may retune the KBFX-CA transmitter to Channel 22, in which case the Station may be off the air during the pendency of such retuning, which shall not be deemed a Specified Event or otherwise be default or breach hereunder or give Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement; provided that such retuning shall be completed as promptly as practicable.

          (c) If the parties are unable to agree upon the extent of any loss, forfeiture or damage, the cost to repair, replace or restore any lost, forfeited or damaged property, the adequacy of any repair, replacement, or restoration of any lost or damaged property, or any other non-legal matter arising under this Section 5.3, the disagreement shall be referred to a qualified consulting communications engineer mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer who is a member of the Association of Federal Communications Consulting Engineers, whose decision on all non-legal issues shall be final, binding upon and non-appealable by the parties, and whose fees and expenses shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer; provided, however, that the consulting communications engineer shall not resolve any issues relating to the interpretation of this Agreement or any other legal issues.

          5.4 Written Consents and Certain Other Documents .

          (a) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall proceed with all reasonable diligence and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all written consents necessary for Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without

limitation, the written consents of the parties to the Assumed Contracts where required (the “Consents”). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not have any obligation to expend funds out-of-pocket or issue any guaranty in order to obtain the Consents. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall execute and deliver to the applicable third party and Seller an assumption agreement with respect to Seller’s obligations and liabilities under each Assumed Contract to commence as of the Effective Time, which assumption agreement may also contain a release of Seller by the applicable third party to such Assumed Contract.

          (b) If applicable, each of Buyer and Seller will cause to be filed as promptly as possible after the date hereof with the United States Federal Trade Commission and with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, all reports and other documents required to be filed by it (or its Affiliates) under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions which are the subject of this Agreement. If applicable, each of Buyer and Seller will use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly comply with or cause to be promptly complied with any requests by the United States Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice for additional information concerning the transactions or it or its Affiliates, in each case so that the waiting period applicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby under the HSR Act shall expire as soon as practicable after the date hereof. Buyer will pay any and all filing and legal fees and costs (other than any fees of the attorneys of the Seller which shall be borne by the Seller) required in connection with the filings under the HSR Act.

          (c) Seller covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver at or prior to the Closing:

          (i) an estoppel certificate from the lessor of any Lease under which Seller is the lessee, sublessee, licensee or occupant thereunder, but only if such Lease entitles Seller to obtain such estoppel certificate;

          (ii) an estoppel certificate from the lessee, sublessee, licensee or occupancy of any Lease under which Seller is the lessor, sublessor, licensor or grantor thereunder, but only if such Lease entitles Seller to obtain such estoppel certificate;;

          (iii) all customary certificates, affidavits and other materials reasonably requested by the Title Company as a condition to its issuance of the owner’s or lessee’s Title Policy for each parcel of the Real Property (including an affidavit with respect to mechanics’ liens certifying that there are no unpaid bills (except as included in the Permitted Liens) for services rendered or materials furnished to any Real Property, and customary seller’s or owner’s affidavits and agreements indemnifying the Title Company against claims for any such services or materials);

          (iv) a valid and subsisting Certificate of Occupancy or equivalent required certificate of compliance (or evidence that none was needed) covering all buildings and other improvements for each parcel of Real Property.

          5.5 Notifications. Pending the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall promptly notify each other in writing of any developments, except for matters affecting the television

broadcasting industry generally, which singly or in concert with others are materially adverse to the ability of such notifying party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          5.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price set forth in Section 1.5 and, to the extent properly taken into account in accordance with the Tax Regulations, Assumed Obligations, shall be allocated among the Assets in accordance with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code, and as determined by mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer prior to Closing as specified in a separate writing between the parties. Buyer and Seller shall each complete, execute and timely file Form 8594 with the Internal Revenue Service with their respective Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date (or such other Internal Revenue Service Form as may then be prescribed for use by the regulations promulgated under the Code (the “Tax Regulations”) to comply with applicable asset acquisition reporting requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and the Tax Regulations thereunder). Buyer and Seller agree to act in accordance with the allocation of the Purchase Price established pursuant to this section in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns, including Form 8594.

          5.7 Control of the Stations.

          5.8 Inspection Rights.

          (a) Until the Closing, upon reasonable prior notice, Seller shall, during the Stations’ regular business hours, make the studio and office facilities, books, accounts, records, contracts, and documents pertaining to the Station Business and included in the Assets available for examination and inspection by Buyer and its agents, provided that neither the furnishing of such information nor any investigation made heretofore or hereafter shall affect Buyer’s right to rely upon any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, each of which shall survive any furnishing of information or any investigation, subject to Section 9.1 hereof. Any such examination and inspection shall be undertaken in a manner designed to minimize the disruption to the operations of the Station Business to the extent reasonably practicable.

          (b) On and after the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice, Buyer will afford promptly to Seller and its agents and advisors reasonable access to its properties, books, accounts, contracts, documents and records (or any portion thereof) relating exclusively to any period ending on or before the Closing Date and to employees of Buyer to the extent necessary to establish facts related to such period and in order to ensure Buyer’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

          (b) After the Closing Date, Buyer shall permit Seller and its authorized representatives to have reasonable access to, and to inspect and copy (including by method of photocopying or, as reasonably practicable, electronic copying or downloading) (at Seller’s sole cost and expense), all materials referred to in Section 5.10(a) and to meet with officers and employees of Buyer on a mutually convenient basis concerning background information with respect to such materials.

          5.11 Construction and Updating of Schedules.

          (a) Any information disclosed by Seller in this Agreement or pursuant to any one or more of the Schedules hereto shall be deemed to be disclosed to Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement and the Schedules. Neither the specification of any Dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any

representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule hereto is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

          (b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller may elect at any time to notify Buyer of any development causing or that may cause a breach of any of its representations and warranties in Section 3.3 through 3.26, inclusive, above.

          5.12 Employees

          (a) Seller agrees to provide Buyer with an updated Schedule of Business Employees at Closing which includes each of the employees engaged by Seller principally in connection with the Stations as of the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (each a “Station Employee” and collectively, the “Stations’ Employees”), including each of their respective job titles, dates of hire and rates of pay. Buyer shall offer employment as of the Closing Date to all Stations’ Employees and shall assume all obligations of Seller under the employment and compensation agreements set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto. As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall employ upon terms offered by Buyer each such Station Employee (other than ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and for the avoidance of doubt ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment (“Transferred Employees”) at a salary and at a position that are comparable to those provided by Seller immediately before the execution hereof; provided that Buyer shall assume all obligations of Seller under the employment and compensation agreements set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto. As of the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause all such Transferred Employees who are not covered under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement (collectively, the “Transferred Non-CBA Employees”) to be eligible to participate in Buyer’s employment, bonus, incentive compensation, deferred compensation, pension, profit sharing, retirement, equity-based, leave of absence, vacation, severance, insurance, worker’s compensation, disability, supplemental unemployment, and other benefit plan, arrangement, agreement, practice or policy (including, without limitation, “employee welfare benefit plans” and “employee pension benefit plans” as defined in Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of ERISA) (collectively, the “Buyer Benefit Plans”) under terms and conditions that, in the aggregate, are equivalent to the terms and conditions under which similarly situated employees of the Buyer participate in the Buyer Benefit Plans or as otherwise required pursuant to any employment and compensation agreements set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto. Buyer shall further cause each Buyer Benefit Plan, as may apply, to recognize service of the Transferred Non-CBA Employees with Seller for purposes of eligibility and vesting only; provided that Buyer shall cause each applicable Buyer Benefit Plan that provides vacation or severance benefits to recognize service of the Transferred Employees with Seller also for purposes of determining the amount of benefits; provided, however, any severance

benefits paid under a Buyer Benefit Plan shall be offset by any severance benefits paid to a Transferred Non-CBA Employee under any Employee Benefit Plan, employment or compensation agreement, or any other severance arrangement provided for in this Agreement, including the severance arrangements described on Schedule 5.12. Buyer shall give Transferred Non-CBA Employees credit under the Buyer Benefit Plans for any deductibles or co-payments paid for the current year under any plan maintained by Seller. Buyer shall provide Transferred Employees who are covered under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement (the “Transferred CBA Employees”) benefits in accordance with the terms of such agreement.

          (b) With respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that includes a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (“Seller’s 401(k) Plan”), Seller shall (i) fully vest as of the Closing Date all accounts of all participants in the 401(k) Plan who are Business Employees, (ii) allow Transferred Employees to elect to receive a complete distribution of all of their accounts under Seller’s 401(k) Plan promptly following the Closing Date, and (iii) subject to acceptance by Buyer’s 401(k) plan and Seller effecting any amendments to Seller’s 401(k) Plan necessary to authorize such rollovers, allow Transferred Employees to rollover outstanding participant loans under Seller’s 401(k) Plan and not treat such loans as in default. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend Seller’s 401(k) Plan to the extent necessary to accomplish the foregoing, including if necessary, amending Seller’s 401(k) Plan to provide that a “severance from employment” in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be a distributable event for purposes of Section 401(k)(2) of the Code.

          (c) With respect to all Stations Employees, Seller shall be responsible for all compensation and benefits arising prior to the Effective Time (in accordance with Seller’s employment terms), and, with respect to all Transferred Employees, Buyer shall be responsible for all compensation and benefits arising after the Effective Time (in accordance with Buyer’s employment terms or the terms of the employment and compensation agreements set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto, as applicable). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Buyer shall grant credit to Transferred Employees for all unused annual vacation and sick leave listed on Schedule 5.12 that has been accrued as of the Effective Time as set forth on an update to such schedule which Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall assume and discharge Seller’s obligation to provide such leave to such Transferred Employees (such obligations being a part of the Assumed Obligations), and (ii) effective at the Effective Time, Buyer shall assume the severance arrangements set forth on Schedule 5.12 as updated by Seller at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date (such obligations being a part of the Assumed Obligations) provided, however, that Buyer shall have no liability for any severance or for vacation and sick leave with respect to any Stations Employees who are not Transferred Employees.

          (d) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Seller will fully provide or pay for all liabilities or obligations to the Stations Employees under all Employee Benefit Plans, but excluding any employment contracts and compensation arrangements set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereto that Buyer assumes pursuant to the terms hereof. Buyer shall assume all liability and responsibility for “COBRA” healthcare continuation coverage required to be offered and provided under Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601-608 of ERISA to employees and former employees (including independent contractors) of Seller and any other COBRA qualified beneficiaries under Seller’s health plan(s) who have

elected or are eligible to elect COBRA continuation coverage as of or prior to the Closing Date or who incur a COBRA qualifying event in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall maintain employee benefit plans providing healthcare coverage sufficient to meet its obligations under this paragraph through the date on which all obligations to provide “COBRA” healthcare continuation coverage under this paragraph cease.

          5.13 Title Insurance; Surveys; Lien Search; Real Property Inspection

          (a) Buyer may order, at its sole cost and expense, title commitments, surveys and lien searches on each parcel of Real Property and lien searches on the other Assets. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer where necessary to enable Buyer to obtain title commitments and surveys on each parcel of Real Property, including providing access to the Real Property to Buyer and its representatives following advanced written notice from Buyer and during normal business hours. The parties understand and agree that Buyer’s efforts to obtain title commitments, surveys and lien searches on each parcel of Real Property and lien searches on the other Assets shall in no event delay the Closing beyond the date on which the Closing would occur but for such procedures. Buyer’s failure to obtain the consent of the owner of any real property to obtain a survey or to the extent it is not otherwise permitted by the Lease(s) shall not negate in any way Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder.

          (b) (I) During the ninety (90)-day period following the Effective Date, upon reasonable notice to Seller, Buyer and its employees, agents, and contractors (including any surveyors) shall have the right to enter on the Real Property from time to time during normal business hours for the purposes of making, at Buyer’s expense, engineering, architectural, title, zoning, survey, and any other studies that Buyer reasonably deems necessary or desirable in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Real Property Inspection”).

               (II) If, as a result of the Real Property Inspection, Buyer reasonably determines that any matter or matters affecting or relating to the title or condition of the Real Property could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (a “Real Property Objection”), Buyer shall, no later than the date ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, deliver written notice to Seller setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and any evidence of the Real Property Objection.

               (III) If Buyer delivers to Seller timely notice of a Real Property Objection, and Seller does not notify Buyer on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days after Buyer’s delivery of notice of a Real Property Objection (the “Cure Notice Deadline”) of Seller’s intention to cure or correct the Real Property Objection, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering to Seller a Notice of Termination no later than five (5) Business Days following the Cure Notice Deadline. If Buyer delivers to Seller a timely notice of a Real Property Objection, Seller notifies Buyer of Seller’s intention to cure or correct the Real Property Objection, and Seller does not cure or correct the Real Property Objection within forty-five (45) days after Buyer’s delivery of a notice of a Real Property Objection, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering to Seller a Notice of Termination no later than five (5) Business Days following the end of such forty-five (45)-day period.

          5.14 Exclusivity. From the Effective Date until the earliest of (a) the Closing Date or (b) the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or any partners, directors, officers or agents of the foregoing to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or agree to any proposals for, or exchange information (including by way of furnishing information concerning Seller or the Station Business) or enter into any negotiations concerning, or respond in writing to any inquiries for, the acquisition of Seller, the Station Business, the Assets or any substantial part thereof. In addition, during such time period, Seller shall notify Buyer of the identity of any Person that contacts Seller regarding the acquisition of Seller, the Station Business, the Assets or any substantial part thereof, and the contents of any such proposals, inquiries or discussions.

          5.15 WARN Act. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith to determine whether any notification may be required under the WARN Act, as a result of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and, if such notices are required, to provide such notice in a manner that is reasonably satisfactory to each of the parties hereto.

          5.16 Environmental Study. During the ninety (90) -day period following the Effective Date, Buyer may cause to be conducted, at its sole cost and expense, a Phase 1 environmental audit with respect to the Real Property by an environmental consultant acceptable to Seller (the “Environmental Consultant”). Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate in scheduling such audit and providing reasonable access to the Real Property for such audit. If Buyer so elects following recommendation by the Environmental Consultant of further investigation of any potential environmental conditions with respect to the Real Property, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller and the parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to the completion of such investigation during the ninety (90)- day period following the Effective Date. If as a result of the Phase 1 audit or any further investigation recommended by the Environmental Consultant (the “Environmental Study”), which complete study shall be provided to Seller, the Environmental Consultant reasonably determines in a writing addressed to Seller that any environmental condition with respect to the Real Property requires remediation (an “Environmental Condition”), Buyer shall cause the Environmental Consultant to prepare an estimate of the cost of such remediation. If the estimated costs of remediation are equal to or less than Three Hundred Thousand ($300,000), Seller shall, at Buyer’s election, either cause such remediation to be completed at Seller’s sole cost and expense to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, or the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the estimate. In the event that the estimated costs of remediation are greater than Three Hundred Thousand ($300,000), then Seller may elect within 15 days of the receipt by Seller of the documentation constituting the Environmental Consultant’s determination and the estimate of the cost of remediation by written notice to Buyer to complete the remediation as provided above; provided, however, that in the event Seller elects not to complete such remediation, Buyer, at its option, shall elect within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller’s notice to such effect, to terminate this Agreement without either party being subject to a claim by the other for liquidated damages or any other claims for damages, or waive any default or breach with respect to the loss or damage and receive a $300,000 credit against the Purchase Price at Closing. Either party may extend the Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in order to allow Seller to complete any such remediation. The parties agree that any payments made pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall be independent of, and shall have no limit on, the provisions of Section 9.2 below.

          9.3 Indemnification by Buyer.

          (a) Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, any officer or director thereof, and their permitted assigns, with respect to any Claim asserted

during the survival periods referred to in Section 9.1 of this Agreement of any kind and description relating to or arising out of:

          (i) the failure of any of Buyer’s representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement to be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that by their terms are made as of another date, which must be true and correct only as of such specified date);

          (ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenants, obligations or agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement;

          (iii) any Assumed Obligation; or

          (iv) any claim by any person or entity that any agent, broker, investment or commercial banker, person or firm acting on behalf of Buyer that it is entitled to any broker, finder, financial advisor fee or any other commission or similar fee directly or indirectly in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Buyer shall not be obligated to pay an amount for indemnification under clause (i) of Section 9.3(a) unless and until the amount of all such Claims of Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $25,000 in the aggregate; in which event Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Claims in excess of $25,000, (ii) Buyer shall not be obligated to pay an amount for indemnification under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.3(a) (other than in respect of Claims relating to actual fraud) in excess of $5,500,000 in the aggregate and (iii) Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.3 for fees and expenses of the counsel of only one such Person (determined by Seller) with respect to each Claim by a third party.

          9.4 Indemnification Procedure. For purposes of administering the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX, the following procedure shall apply:

          (a) Whenever a Claim shall arise under this Article IX, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly and in no event later than ten (10) days after becoming aware of such a Claim, give written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) setting forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such Claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, provided that the Indemnified Party’s failure to do so shall not preclude it from seeking indemnification hereunder unless such failure has materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such Claim.

          (b) In the event of any Claim hereunder resulting from or in connection with any Claim brought by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, either:

          (i) to participate therein, or

                     (ii) to assume the entire defense thereof with counsel who is selected by it and who is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party provided that:

               (A) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing that it does not and will not contest its responsibility for indemnifying the Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim, and

               (B) no settlement shall be made without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld (except that no such consent shall be required if the claimant is entitled under the settlement to only monetary damages to be paid solely by the Indemnifying Party). After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or of assistance as contemplated by this Section 9.4 If, however, (1) the Claim would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible hereunder, or (2) representation of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be entitled to retain counsel (in the case of Clause (A) of this sentence, at their own expense) who shall cooperate with one another in defending against such Claim.

          (c) If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a Claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Claim in such manner as it deems appropriate or settle such Claim (after giving notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection therewith and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in accordance with this Article IX.

          (d) The Indemnifying Party will not, without the Indemnified Party’s written consent, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to any entry of judgment which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Claim.

          (e) In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim subject to this Section 9.4 and the records of each shall be available to the other with respect to such defense (except to the extent counsel of a party advises non-disclosure is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege or similar doctrine, including the work-product doctrine). The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall each render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Claim.

          (f) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will, the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) against any third party in respect of the Claim to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) and Indemnifying Party will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights.

          (g) Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be deemed to have notice of any Claim by reason of any knowledge acquired on or prior to the Closing Date by an employee of the Station unless express evidence is available establishing actual notice to either party.

          9.5 Limitation on Indemnification Obligations. Claims for which indemnification may be obtained under Section 9.2 or 9.3 shall be limited to the extent of the actual loss or damage suffered by the Indemnified Parties, and shall be reduced by the amount of any recovery by such Indemnified Parties from any third party, including any insurer, and by the amount of any Tax benefits received. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party any special, consequential, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, including for lost profits, business interruption or other similar items, nor shall any damages be calculated using a “multiplier” or any other method having a similar effect, except to the extent that a third party has claimed such damages against such Indemnified Party. With respect to Claims made against Seller pursuant to Section 9.2, all payments shall first be made by recourse to the Indemnification Escrow Deposit.

          9.6 Indemnification is Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, Buyer and Seller (i) agree that a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy which Buyer and Seller shall have against each other under or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether for breach or misrepresentation of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, agreement or condition or otherwise, (ii) waive any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and (iii) agree that the only legal action that may be asserted by any party with respect to any matter that is the subject of this Agreement shall be a breach of contract action to enforce or recover damages for breach of this Article IX; provided, however, that a party shall have the right to seek equitable relief as may be required to enforce the covenants set forth in Section 10.4.

          9.7 Indemnification Escrow Deposit. In the event of the Closing, the Indemnification Escrow Deposit shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent, together with all interest earned thereon after the Closing (collectively the “Indemnification Escrow Proceeds”) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Proceeds shall be distributed as follows:

          (a) On the date immediately following the first anniversary of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Seller from the Indemnification Escrow Proceeds an amount equal to (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or, if less, the remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Proceeds less (ii) the amount of any claims by Buyer for payment pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Article IX hereof outstanding and unpaid as of such date, if any, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

          (b) Following release pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the remaining amount of the Indemnification Escrow Proceeds shall continue to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. On the date that is fifteen (15) months following the date hereof, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Seller from the Escrow Amount and the Escrow Proceeds an amount equal to (i) the total aggregate amount of the Indemnification Escrow Proceeds as of such date, less (ii) the amount of any claims by Buyer for payment pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Article IX hereof outstanding and unpaid as of such date, if any, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided that such remaining amount held by the Escrow Agent, if any, shall continue to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent subject to subsequent release and delivery pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

          10.3 Entire Understanding. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, and the Escrow Agreement contain the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and therein, and supersede all negotiations, representations, warranties, commitments, offers, letters of intent, contracts, agreements, understandings, and writings not set forth herein or therein. No waiver and no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective, unless specifically made in writing and duly signed by all parties hereto. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the exercise of a party’s rights at a later date.

          10.4 Confidentiality.

          (a) Except as necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and except as and to the extent required by law, each party will keep confidential, and shall cause its representatives, advisors, attorneys and financing sources to keep confidential, any information obtained from the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated, each party will return to any other party that furnished it with information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement all such information.

          (b) No party shall publish any press release or make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of each other party; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any party, after notification to and consultation with the other party, from making any filings with governmental authorities that, in its judgment, may be required or advisable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

          10.5 Further Assurances.

           All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement which are addressed as provided in this Section 10.10, shall be effective upon such delivery.

          (b) Either party may from time to time change its address for the purpose of the giving of notices to that party, by giving to the other party a notice specifying a new address in compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.10.

          10.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, other than any person or entity entitled to indemnity under Article IX.

          10.12 Contract Consents/Benefit. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an assignment or an attempted assignment of any contract or agreement which is non-assignable without the consent of the other party or parties thereto, unless such consent shall be given. If a Consent to assignment of a contract or agreement is not obtained prior to Closing, Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such Consent after Closing, but not for a period of more than six months. Until such Consent is obtained, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in any arrangements necessary or desirable, on commercially reasonable terms, to provide for Buyer to have the benefits and to have Buyer assume the burdens arising after the Closing Date thereunder, including, without limitation, enforcement for the benefit of Buyer, and assumption by Buyer of the costs of enforcing, any and all rights of Seller thereunder against the other party thereto arising out of the cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise.

          10.13 Bulk Sales. Seller and Buyer hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any applicable bulk sales law and no representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been breached as a result of such non-compliance.

          10.14 FCC Licenses. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, both parties understand and agree that in the event that Seller’s right to hold or transfer one or more of the FCC Licenses under the terms of the FCC Licenses in existence on the date of this Agreement or operate the Stations in accordance with the terms of one or more of the FCC Licenses in existence on the date of this Agreement is revoked or suspended or otherwise materially impaired prior to the Closing (a “Change in FCC License(s) Status”), regardless of whether the Seller is at fault, then this shall not be deemed a default or breach by either party under this Agreement, neither party shall be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and either party may terminate this Agreement. In the event that the Agreement terminates as a result of a Change in FCC License(s) Status, the escrow deposit and any interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any liability or obligation to the other as a result of such Change in FCC License(s) Status or any further obligation or liability to the other hereunder as a result of such termination.
