contained herein.

8.2 By Sales Agent. Sales Agent shall indemnify and hold the KSMO Parties and their officers, directors, stockholders, agents and employees harmless against any and all liability for libel, slander, illegal competition or trade practice, infringement of trademarks, trade names, or program titles, violation of rights of privacy, and infringement of copyrights and proprietary rights resulting from or relating to the Advertisements, the Delivered Programming, or other material furnished by Sales Agent for broadcast on the Station, along with any fine or forfeiture imposed by the FCC because of the content of such material, and for the actions of Sales Agent’s employees and representatives in performing their duties under this Agreement.

8.3 By the KSMO Parties. The KSMO Parties shall indemnify and hold Sales Agent and its officers, directors, stockholders, agents and employees harmless against any and all liability for libel, slander, illegal competition or trade practice, infringement of trademarks, trade names, or program titles, violation of rights of privacy, and infringement of copyrights and proprietary rights resulting from or relating to all material broadcast on the Station that is produced in whole or in part by the KSMO Parties or any Affiliate of the KSMO Parties, along with any fine or forfeiture imposed by the FCC because of the content of such material, and for the actions of the KSMO Parties’ employees and representatives in performing their duties under this Agreement.

The parties hereto agree that, upon the request of either of them, they will join in requesting the view of the staff of the FCC, to the extent necessary, with respect to the revision of any provision of this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing.

(iv) any reasonable operating expense actually incurred by the KSMO Parties that conforms in character to an expense line item or category expressly set forth in the Licensee’s Expense Schedule, notwithstanding that the amount of such expense exceeds the applicable amount specified for such line item or category in the Licensee’s Expense Schedule, if the amount of such excess is reasonable and the sole reason for such excess is an increase in a cost or expense owed by the KSMO Parties to a third party that occurs following the adoption of the applicable Licensee’s Expense Schedule; and

(v) any costs or expenses actually incurred by the KSMO Parties as a result of complying with the obligation to broadcast the Delivered Programming.

(e) “Station Broadcast Cash Flow” means broadcast operating income of the Station, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, adjusted as follows:

(1) plus the sum of (i) depreciation and amortization (including film amortization and amortization of deferred and stock based compensation) relating to the Station (to the extent such depreciation and amortization were deducted in calculating operating income of the Station), and (ii) any trade/barter expenses; and

(2) less the sum of (i) any amounts paid by Sales Agent to Licensee pursuant to Section 2(a) below; (ii) cash payments made or scheduled to be made for program contract rights relating to the Station; (iii) payments made by Sales Agent to the KSMO Parties to the extent not otherwise taken into account in calculating operating income; (iv) any rental income earned by Sales Agent from real property leased to the extent taken into account in calculating broadcast operating income; (v) any rent paid with respect to any capital leases of the Station; (vi) the allocable portion, to the extent taken into account in calculating operating income, of any fees received by any Affiliate of Licensee for entering into any arrangement with a third party that relates to the Station and any other television station owned and/or programmed by Licensee or any Affiliate; (vii) any trade/barter revenue; (viii) any income attributable to any “group deals” which include the Station and any other television station owned and operated by any Affiliate of Licensee, to the extent taken into account in calculating broadcast operating income and (ix) any revenue attributable to Delivered Programming.

2. Allocation of Revenue. Beginning on the Base Date, Net Sales Revenue shall be allocated and paid on a monthly basis as follows:

(a) For each calendar month during the period following the Base Date, Licensee shall receive from Net Sales Revenue a payment equal to the sum of (i) Reimbursable Station Expenses for such month to the extent such Reimbursable Station Expenses are consistent, in character and amount, with Licensee’s Expense Schedule, (ii) the JSA Fee, and (iii) 25% of Station Broadcast Cash Flow for such month; provided that no amount shall be due under this clause (iii) of Section 2(a) unless and until the cumulative Broadcast Cash Flow for the period commencing on the Base Date exceeds $2,000,000, and provided further, however, that

the percentage of Station Broadcast Cash Flow payable to Licensee pursuant to this clause (iii) of Section 2(a) shall be reduced from 25% to 10% for the excess, in any month, of Broadcast Cash Flow over $2,500,000. The foregoing notwithstanding, Licensee shall not be entitled to receive any amount pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 2(a) if, at the time such amount is due (the “Cash Flow Payment Date”), the aggregate amount of Net Sales Revenue during the period from the Base Date until the Cash Flow Payment Date is less than the sum of the Reimbursable Station Expenses and JSA Fees paid to the KSMO Parties during the period from the Base Date until the Cash Flow Payment Date.

(b) For each calendar month during the period following the Base Date, Sales Agent shall receive from Net Sales Revenue an amount equal to the Net Sales Revenue for such month less the Licensee Revenue Share for such month.

3. Payment of Licensee Revenue Share.

(a) On or before the fifth business day of each calendar month during the Initial Term, Licensee shall deliver to Sales Agent a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of Reimbursable Station Expenses paid by Licensee and KSMO-Sub during the prior calendar month. The statement shall include invoice copies and other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Sales Agent evidencing Licensee’s and KSMO-Sub’s payment of such Reimbursable Station Expenses. Licensee shall deliver promptly to Sales Agent such additional documentation concerning the amounts shown on Licensee’s statement as Sales Agent shall reasonably request.

(b) On or before the tenth business day of each calendar month during the Initial Term, Sales Agent shall pay to Licensee the Licensee Revenue Share for such month.

(c) If Licensee elects to preempt any previously scheduled commercial programming in favor of replacement commercial programming from which Licensee will receive revenue or non-cash consideration, then, to the extent that Sales Agent suffers a loss of revenue (“Lost Revenue”) from its inability to broadcast advertising spots that were sold for broadcast on such preempted programming, a cash amount equal to the amount of the Lost Revenue shall be deducted from the payment of Licensee Revenue Share. This provision shall not apply to the reasonable, good faith exercise by Licensee of its rights under Section 4.5 to preempt Broadcast Material (i) to present alternative program material of greater local or national importance or (ii) that Licensee determines to violate applicable laws or to be contrary to the public interest or the terms of this Agreement. Licensee represents and covenants that preemption pursuant to Section 4.5 shall only occur to the extent that Licensee deems such action necessary to carry out its obligations as an FCC licensee, and expressly agrees that such right of preemption shall not be exercised in an arbitrary manner or for the commercial advantage of Licensee or others.

(d) Any payment made hereunder that covers a partial calendar month shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in such month to which such payment applies.

4. Rights of Audit and Objection.

(a) Rights of Audit. At all times during the Initial Term and for six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement, each party, shall have the right, at its own expense and upon prior written request to the other party, to review and audit the books and records of such party relating to Net Sales Revenue, Reimbursable Station Expenses and Station Broadcast Cash Flow. Any such review must take place during normal business hours Monday through Friday.

(b) Right of Objection. On or prior to the 30th day after Licensee’s receipt of a Licensee Revenue Share payment, Licensee may give Sales Agent a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) indicating its objections to the applicable payment. If Licensee fails to deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then the applicable Licensee Revenue Share payment will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. If Licensee gives a timely Objection Notice, Licensee and Sales Agent will negotiate in good faith to resolve their disputes regarding the disputed Licensee Revenue Share payment. If the Parties are unable to resolve all disputes regarding such Licensee Revenue Share payment on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after an Objection Notice is given, the Parties shall retain a qualified accounting firm (either by mutual agreement or by random choice after eliminating any such firm which is conflicted or otherwise unable to participate) (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve the dispute as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days. The Licensee Revenue Share payment for the applicable period determined by the Independent Accounting Firm will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and will constitute the Licensee Revenue Share payment for such applicable period for all purposes of this Schedule 3.1. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with its review of any Licensee Revenue Share payment shall be paid one-half (1/2) by Sales Agent and one-half (1/2) by the KSMO Parties.

5. National Rep Contract. Except as provided in this Section 5, national spot advertising broadcast on the Station shall be sold by ▇▇▇▇ Millennium Sales and Marketing, Inc. (“▇▇▇▇”) pursuant to the terms of the Representation Agreement dated August 13, 2001 between ▇▇▇▇ and KSMO, Inc. (the “▇▇▇▇ Rep Agreement”). All proceeds from the sale of such advertising shall be considered Net Sales Revenue for purposes of this Agreement and any commissions payable to ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇ Rep Agreement applicable to the period following the Base Date shall be Reimbursable Station Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sales Agent may, at its option and expense, obtain a termination of the ▇▇▇▇ Rep Agreement and enter into a representation agreement with such other national rep firm as Sales Agent may select and such other firm shall have the right to sell the Station’s national spot advertising.

6. Licensee Expenditures. Nothing in this Schedule 3.1 shall restrict Licensee or KSMO-Sub from entering into any contract or commitment or incurring any obligation or liability in connection with the acquisition of programming for broadcast on the Station or the employment of such personnel as Licensee or KSMO-Sub deems to be necessary or appropriate for the operation of the Station.

7. Changes to Licensee’s Expense Schedule. If and to the extent that the KSMO Parties assign to Sales Agent one or more Assumed Contracts (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, Sales Agent and Licensee shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon such changes to the Licensee’s Expense Schedule as are necessary to give effect to such assignment. Commencing in 2005 and annually thereafter during the Initial Term, Licensee and Sales Agent shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon in writing no later than October 1 of the applicable year such changes, if any, to the Licensee’s Expense Schedule as are reasonably required to accurately reflect actual Reimbursable Station Expenses incurred during such year (or, in the case of Licensee’s Expense Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, during the period commencing on the Base Date and ending on December 31, 2005). In the event that Licensee and Sales Agent are unable to resolve any dispute regarding any proposed changes to a Licensee’s Expense Schedule by October 1 of any year, either party may notify the other party in writing of its objection to Licensee’s Expense Schedule for the prior year. In the event such a notice is provided, until such time as the parties agree upon a new Licensee’s Expense Schedule in writing, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, except that the Licensee’s Expense Schedule for the succeeding year shall be the Licensee’s Expense Schedule for the prior year subject to an automatic increase of each expense item set forth in the Licensee’s Expense Schedule for such prior year in an amount equal to the greater of five percent (5%) or the increase in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the U.S. City Average for All Items, 1982-84=100 (the “Automatic Increase”). If neither party has provided to the other a written notification of a dispute regarding changes to a Licensee’s Expense Schedule prior to October 1 of the applicable year, the Licensee’s Expense Schedule for the succeeding year shall be the Licensee’s Expense Schedule for the prior year subject to the Automatic Increase.

8. Programming Liability Claims. If the KSMO Parties have the right under Section 1(b)(iii) of this Schedule 3.1 to seek reimbursement from Sales Agent for any liability that may be incurred by the KSMO Parties as a result of programming broadcast on the Station, the KSMO Parties shall not settle any claim regarding any such liability without Sales Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and Sales Agent shall have the right to participate (at Sales Agent’s cost) in the of defense of any action involving a claim for any such liability.

SCHEDULE 4.2

SCHEDULE OF DELIVERED PROGRAMMING

Commencing on the Base Date, Sales Agent shall be permitted to provide Delivered Programming constituting in the aggregate up to 22 hours and 12 minutes of the weekly programming time on the Station, but in no event shall the aggregate duration of such programming exceed 15% of the Station’s broadcast hours for any week. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of Licensee set forth in this Schedule 4.2 shall be subject to Licensee’s rights under Sections 4.2, 4.5 and 4.10 of this Agreement.

At any time and from time to time following the Base Date, Sales Agent may designate by written notice to Licensee the days and times during which Licensee shall broadcast Delivered Programming on the Station, and Licensee shall commence the broadcast of such Delivered Programming no later than 14 days following its receipt of such notice, so long as (i) the duration of such Delivered Programming, together with the duration of all other Delivered Programming broadcast on the Station, does not exceed 15% of the Station’s weekly broadcast schedule and (ii) the broadcast of such Delivered Programming during the days and times specified by Sales Agent shall not conflict with the contractual obligations of the KSMO Parties.

At any time and from time to time following the Base Date, Sales Agent may designate by written notice to Licensee existing programming broadcast on the Station by Licensee that, effective upon Licensee’s receipt of such notice, shall constitute Delivered Programming for all purposes under this Agreement (any existing programming so designated by Sales Agent is “Converted Programming”). At Sales Agent’s election, such notice may specify changes to the days and times during which Licensee shall broadcast such Converted Programming on the Station, and Licensee shall broadcast such Converted Programming during the days and times specified by Sales Agent no later than 14 days following its receipt of such notice, so long as (i) the duration of such Converted Programming, together with the duration of all other Delivered Programming broadcast on the Station, does not exceed 15% of the Station’s weekly broadcast schedule and (ii) the broadcast of such Converted Programming during the days and times specified by Sales Agent shall not conflict with the contractual obligations of the KSMO Parties. Subject to receipt of any required consent, the KSMO Parties shall assign to Sales Agent as promptly as practicable following receipt of Sales Agent’s written notice their rights and interests in the Converted Programming in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement that are applicable to Assumed Contracts.

If the FCC changes its rules or policies in a manner that allows Sales Agent to provide Delivered Programming that exceeds 15% of the Station’s broadcast hours for any week, at the request of Sales Agent, Licensee shall cooperate in good faith with Sales Agent to agree upon one or more additional time periods during which Sales Agent shall be permitted to provide additional Delivered Programming for broadcast on the Station, but in no event shall the aggregate duration of all Delivered Programming, including such additional time periods, exceed the total amount of Delivered Programming as may be permitted by the FCC after giving effect to such change in the FCC’s rules or policies.

Upon no less than 14 days prior written notice from Sales Agent to Licensee, Sales Agent may change the date and times that the Delivered Programming shall be broadcast on the Station and Licensee agrees to broadcast the Delivered Programming in accordance with such revised schedule.

POLICY STATEMENT FOR BROADCAST MATERIAL

Sales Agent agrees to cooperate with Licensee in the broadcasting of programs of high quality and, for this purpose, to observe the following policies in the preparation, writing and production of Broadcast Material.

1. CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE. Any discussion of controversial issues of public importance shall be reasonably balanced with the presentation of contrasting viewpoints in the course of overall programming; no attacks on the honesty, integrity, or like personal qualities of any person or group of persons shall be made; and Station programs (other than public forum or talk features) are not to be used as a forum for editorializing about individual candidates. If such events occur, Licensee may require that responsive programming be aired.

(b) Prior Consent. In any case where questions of policy or interpretation arise, Sales Agent will attempt in good faith to submit the same to Licensee for decision before making any commitments in connection therewith.

SCHEDULE 4.7

BARTER SCHEDULE

SCHEDULE 6.3

In November 2003, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ filed applications with the FCC to acquire the license assets of five television stations, WRGT-TV, Dayton, Ohio, WTAT-TV, Charleston, South Carolina, WVAH-TV, Charleston, West Virginia, WNUV-TV, Baltimore, Maryland, and WTTE-TV, Columbus, Ohio. The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition filed a petition to deny these five applications and in this context asked the FCC to revoke all of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ FCC licenses. The Chief of the Media Bureau of the FCC denied Rainbow’s request, and Rainbow filed a petition for reconsideration, which is pending.

The KSMO Parties are aware of threats that have been made publicly that various entities may file actions at the FCC against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Broadcast Group, Inc., which could include a filing against the Station. None of these threats relate specifically to the Station except insofar as the Station acted in a manner consistent with a number of other ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ television stations. On November 1, 2004, an organization calling itself “Free Press” filed a petition to deny the license renewal applications of six ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ stations (WXLV-TV, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, WUPN-TV, Greensboro, North Carolina, WLFL(TV), Raleigh, North Carolina, WRDC(TV), Durham, North Carolina, WLOS(TV), Asheville, North Carolina, and WMMP(TV), Charleston, South Carolina) and two ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Broadcasting Corporation stations (WBSC-TV, Anderson, South Carolina and WTAT-TV, Charleston, South Carolina), which are programmed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to LMAs.
