STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of January 17, 2001, between Univision Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Buyer"), and USA Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Seller").

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, Seller owns, or with respect to clause (c), at the Initial Closing will own, all of the capital stock (collectively, the "Stock") of the following direct or indirect corporations (collectively, the "Subsidiaries"):

(a) the subsidiaries of Seller (the "O&O Subsidiaries") that own the thirteen (13) full-power television stations (the "Stations") and the related FCC licenses and authorizations, including all digital television authorizations (the "FCC Licenses") set forth on Exhibit A;

(b) the subsidiaries of Seller (the "MI Subsidiaries") that hold the minority interests in and other rights (but specifically excluding the Urban Judgment) with respect to the four (4) other full-power television stations set forth on Exhibit A; and

(c) a subsidiary to be formed by Seller (the "SW Subsidiary") to which all of the assets and liabilities of Seller's business known as "Station Works" located in Ontario, California and Miami, Florida (" Station Works") will be contributed on or prior to the Initial Closing Date; and

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to buy, the Stock for the consideration described herein.

A G R E E M E N T

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and intending to be legally bound the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE & SALE/CLOSING

1.1 Transfer of Stock by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell the Stock and deliver the certificates evidencing the Stock to Buyer at the applicable Closing, and Buyer agrees to buy the Stock and pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.2 at the applicable Closing. The certificates will be properly endorsed for transfer to or accompanied by a duly executed stock power in favor of Buyer or, subject to compliance with Section 9.5 (Assignment), its nominee as Buyer may have directed prior to the applicable Closing Date and otherwise in a form acceptable for transfer on the books of the Subsidiaries.

1.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Stock (the "Purchase Price") shall be One Billion One Hundred Million Dollars ($1,100,000,000). At each Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller, the portion of the Purchase Price payable for the Stock of the Subsidiaries being transferred at such Closing, plus any reimbursement payments expressly provided for herein in Sections 4.7 and 4.19 relating to such Stock or the Stations owned by such Subsidiaries. The portion of the Purchase Price payable for the Stock of each O&O Subsidiary and each MI Subsidiary shall be determined by reference to the value of the Station or Stations owned by, as applicable, such O&O Subsidiary or the entity in which such MI Subsidiary has an interest, as set forth on Exhibit B. The portion of the Purchase Price payable for the Stock of the SW Subsidiary is also set forth on Exhibit B.

1.3 Excluded Assets. Prior to the Initial Closing (as hereinafter defined), Seller will, or will cause its Affiliates to, cause the Subsidiaries to assign or transfer (by contract, dividend, distribution or otherwise) to Seller (or its designee) the following (the "Excluded Assets"):

(a) all assets, rights, claims, causes of action and other assets of USASGV with respect to the Urban Judgment, specifically including, without limitation, all rights to enforce, collect on and receive all proceeds from the Urban Judgment, along with all rights and interests in any associated liens, security interests, pledges and/or other collateral securing USASGV as the Urban Judgment creditor;

(b) all assets, rights, claims, causes of action and other assets related to WJYS-TV, Hammond, Indiana;

(c) all assets, rights, claims, causes of action and other assets related to the low-power television stations of Seller and its Affiliates (collectively, the "LPTV Stations"), including, without limitation, the capital stock of USA Station Group LPTV, Inc. and all licenses, authorizations, Permits and tangible assets used or held for use in connection with the operation of Low Power Television Station W60AI, New York, New York;

(d) all assets, rights, claims, causes of action and other assets related to the names "USA" and "USA Broadcasting" and any logo or variation thereof and the goodwill associated therewith;

(e) all assets, rights, claims, causes of action and other assets related to any proprietary programming material of Seller, the Subsidiaries and any of their respective Affiliates set forth on Exhibit C hereto (the "Proprietary Programming"); provided, however, that for a period of six (6) months from and after each Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, grant Buyer a license to continue to broadcast the Proprietary Programming on the Station or Stations owned by the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries being transferred at such Closing to the extent consistent with Seller's past practices for such Station with royalty payments from Buyer to Seller only to the extent Seller or any Affiliate of Seller is required to make royalty or other payments to a third party in connection with the broadcast of such Proprietary Programming;

(f) all of the machinery, equipment, furniture, furnishings and other tangible personal property located at the corporate offices of Seller in New York and California and that are primarily used by or relate to such corporate offices or the employees located at such corporate offices; and

(g) all other assets and rights (and the liabilities associated therewith) which are not used or held for use in the business and operations of the Stations, the MI Subsidiaries or Station Works.

In connection with the transfer of the LPTV Stations as described in Section 1.3(c), Buyer agrees to cooperate in the legal and business separation of the LPTV Stations from the Stations in order for the LPTV Stations to be operated as independent businesses (the "LPTV Separation"). In order to facilitate the consummation of the LPTV Separation in an orderly manner, Buyer covenants and agrees to cooperate, negotiate in good faith and take such further actions, and execute and deliver such documents and instruments, as may be reasonably requested by Seller in connection with the LPTV Separation; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Buyer to incur any liability or expense in connection with the LPTV Separation without receiving from Seller fair market compensation or indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

1.4 The Closings.

(a) Initial Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, the initial closing of the purchase and sale of Stock (the "Initial Closing") shall occur at the offices of O'Melveny & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, on the tenth (10^th) business day following the first initial grant of an FCC Order for any

of the Stations (the "Initial FCC Order"), or at such other time and place as the parties mutually agree in writing (the date on which the Initial Closing shall occur, the "Initial Closing Date"). At the Initial Closing, Seller shall sell, assign and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, (i) the shares of capital stock of the SW Subsidiary, (ii) the shares of capital stock of the MI Subsidiaries, (iii) the shares of capital stock of each O&O Subsidiary that is subject to the Initial FCC Order and that has terminated or will terminate contemporaneously with the Initial Closing the affiliation agreement between HSN and the Stations owned by such O&O Subsidiary and (iv) the general partnership interests required to be transferred pursuant to Section 1.4(c). Subject to Section 4.9, Seller may elect to delay the Closing of the sale of any such O&O Subsidiary because a Station owned by such O&O Subsidiary carries programming of HSN.

(b) Subsequent Closings. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, the closing of the purchase and sale of the shares of capital stock of any O&O Subsidiary not transferred at the Initial Closing (each a "Subsequent Closing") shall occur at the offices of Buyer's counsel described in Section 1.4(a). Each Subsequent Closing shall occur on a date specified by Seller, which date shall not be earlier than ten (10) business days after such notice and shall not be prior to (i) the date which is the tenth (10^th) business day following the initial grant of an FCC Order authorizing the transfer of control of the FCC Licenses for the Station or Stations owned by such O&O Subsidiary (each such FCC Order not covered by the Initial FCC Order, a "Subsequent FCC Order"), and (ii) the date on which the affiliation agreement between the Station or Stations owned by such O&O Subsidiary and HSN is terminated (the date on which each Subsequent Closing shall occur, a "Subsequent Closing Date"). Subject to Section 4.9, Seller may elect to delay the Closing of the sale of any such O&O Subsidiary because a Station owned by such O&O Subsidiary carries programming of HSN.

(c) Transfer of Certain Partnership Interests. USA Station Group, Inc. ("USASGI"), one of the Subsidiaries, owns a 1% general partnership interest in each of the eleven (11) licensee general partnerships. If all of the O&O Subsidiaries are not transferred to Buyer at the Initial Closing, Seller shall cause USASGI to transfer to Buyer or its Designee at each Closing the 1% general partnership interest in the licensee general partnership that owns the FCC License or FCC Licenses of the Station or Stations owned by the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries being transferred at such Closing.

(d) Outside Closing Date. If all of the Closings shall not have occurred on or prior to January 10, 2002 (the "Outside Closing Date") then Buyer shall pay to Seller on the Outside Closing Date all amounts that would have been payable to Seller had all of the Closings on all Stock occurred on the Outside Closing Date, less the amount of the Purchase Price paid to Seller at any prior Closings, except no such amounts shall be payable if (i) all of the Closings shall not have occurred because of a breach by Seller of this Agreement that has caused the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) not to be satisfied as of the Outside Closing Date, or (ii) such breach has been the sole cause of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 not to be satisfied as of the Outside Closing Date. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, Buyer's obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) and the rights of Seller to receive such payment shall be absolute and unconditional (subject to the qualification in the preceding sentence with respect to a breach by Seller and subject to a delay in such payment as provided for in Sections 4.15 and 7.1) and not subject to any right of set off, deduction or counterclaim. Payment of the amounts pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) shall be final and non-refundable and Buyer shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from Seller for any reason whatsoever. All payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller. Subject to compliance with Section 9.5, upon receipt by Seller of all amounts payable to Seller pursuant to this Section 1.4(d), Seller shall, or shall cause, the Stock to

be transferred in accordance with Buyer's written instructions; provided, that such transfer is in compliance with all applicable Laws.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that Buyer intends to alter the format and programming of the Stations and further develop the Stations in order to implement a new business plan with respect to the Business and operations of the Stations.

Seller makes the following representations and warranties (and no other representations or warranties) on behalf of Seller and each of the Subsidiaries:

2.1 Organization of Seller. Seller and each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective state of organization.

2.4 No Undisclosed Liabilities. As of the date hereof, the Subsidiaries are not subject to any liability (including, without limitation, unasserted claims), whether absolute, contingent, accrued or otherwise, which is not set forth on Schedule 2.4 to Seller's Disclosure Schedule, other than liabilities not greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) individually or Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate.

2.5 Assets. As of the date of the Closing with respect to each Station, all of the assets used or held for use in the operation and Business of such Station as currently conducted will be owned by the O&O Subsidiary which owns such Station. The transmission facilities of each Station, and the transmission facilities of Station Works that are owned by Seller or a Subsidiary, are in good working order, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

2.6 Compliance with Laws. To the knowledge of Seller, the Business of the Stations has been conducted in compliance with all Laws, including the Communications Act and the FCC Rules, which are applicable to the Stations, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on any Station.

2.7 Tax Representations. Each of the Subsidiaries currently is, and for the Tax period ending on the respective Closing for such Subsidiary will be, included in Seller's consolidated federal income Tax returns. None of the Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement relating to allocating or sharing the payment of, or liability for, Taxes with respect to any taxable period after the Closings.

2.8 Operation of Stations in Ordinary Course of Business. Except for changes in operations related to reductions of costs and expenses, since December 31, 1999, Seller and the Subsidiaries have operated the Stations in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

2.9 Environmental Matters. No Subsidiary, nor any of the properties, assets or operations of any Subsidiary relating to the Stations are subject to any claim from any Governmental Entity or private party respecting any environmental health or safety requirements of Law or any liabilities and costs arising from the release or threatened release of a Hazardous Substance into the environment. With respect to the operation of the Stations, the Subsidiaries have materially complied with and are currently in material compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety requirements of Law. No Subsidiary has generated, used, transported, treated, stored, released or disposed of, or has suffered or permitted anyone else to generate, use, transport, treat, store, release or dispose of any Hazardous Substance into the environment in material violation of any applicable environmental, health or safety laws. There has not been any generation, use, transportation, treatment, storage, release or disposal of any Hazardous Substances into the environment in connection with the operations of any Subsidiary or the use of the properties or assets of any Subsidiary that has created or would be reasonably expected to create a Material Consequence, whether or not asserted by a third party, under any applicable environmental, health or safety laws.

2.10 Must Carry Rights; Cable Carriage. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.10, Seller and the Subsidiaries have not entered into any agreements which forfeit any "must carry" rights of the Stations under the Communications Act or the FCC Rules.

The FCC Licenses are in full force and effect and constitute all the licenses and authorizations from the FCC required for and/or used in the operation of the Stations as currently operated as of the date of this Agreement. Except for actions or proceedings affecting television stations generally, no action, complaint, petition, notice of violation, or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of Seller or the Subsidiaries, threatened by the FCC relating to the business or operations of the Stations. The Stations have been operated in all material respects in compliance with the FCC Licenses. Except for the waiver described in Schedule 2.12, to the knowledge of Seller, there are no waivers of any FCC Rules necessary to be obtained for the grant of the applications for the transfer of control of the FCC Licenses to a qualified buyer. To the knowledge of Seller, there are no matters, facts or circumstances relating exclusively to Seller or the Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to result in the FCC's refusal to grant Approval of the transfer of control of the FCC Licenses to a qualified buyer under the Communications Act and FCC Rules.

2.13 Insurance. Seller or its Affiliates maintain with reputable insurance companies insurance covering the assets, liabilities and operations of the Stations in amounts and with coverage which Seller believes are adequate and sufficient in connection with the ownership and operations of the Stations as presently conducted by Seller and the Subsidiaries.

4.3 Conduct of Business.

(a) Seller agrees with and for the benefit of Buyer that, with respect to each Station and Station Works, during the Interim Period, neither Seller nor any Subsidiary shall without the prior consent in writing of Buyer, except as expressly provided for herein:

(1) conduct the Business of such Station in any manner except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and in material compliance with all FCC Licenses; or

(2) make any purchase or enter into any contractual commitment at such Station or Station Works that (i) will remain in effect after the Closing of the transfer of the Subsidiary that owns such Station or Station Works, or (ii) individually requires payment by any Subsidiary of more than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in any specific case or Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate; or

(3) make any loan, guaranty or other extension of credit, or enter into any commitment to make any loan, guaranty or other extension of credit, to or for the benefit of any director, officer, employee, stockholder or any of their respective Associates or Affiliates, except to the extent that such loan, guaranty or other extension of credit or commitment does not become an asset or liability of Buyer or a Subsidiary on or after the Closing with respect to such Subsidiary; or

(4) grant any general or uniform increase in the rates of pay or benefits to officers, directors or employees (or a class thereof), except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; or

4.4 Notification of Certain Matters.

Seller shall give prompt written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall give prompt written notice to Seller, of (a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event that would be likely to cause any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied and (b) any failure of Seller to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) would not be satisfied. No such notification shall affect the representations or warranties of Seller or the conditions to Buyer's obligations hereunder.

(c) Regulatory Impediments. If there are any regulatory impediments to any Closing, Buyer and Seller shall take all commercially reasonable actions to remove such impediments.

4.6 Elimination of Intercompany and Affiliate Liabilities. Prior to each Closing Date, Seller shall purchase, cause to be repaid or (with respect to guarantees) assume liability for any intercompany obligations or receivables (each an "Intercompany Liability") among Seller and its Affiliates on the one hand and the Subsidiaries to be transferred at such Closing on the other hand. At such Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of the Subsidiaries that have been transferred to Buyer on or prior to such Closing Date shall have any continuing commitment, obligation or liability of any kind with respect to such Intercompany Liability. Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer and the Subsidiaries for any Losses with respect to any such Intercompany Liability not fully assumed or discharged as contemplated.

(a) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. If prior to the Initial Closing Date Seller or any Affiliate of Seller has an opportunity to exercise a right of first refusal to acquire the assets of a Minority Owned Entity or to acquire the majority interest in a Minority Owned Entity (each a "Right of First Refusal"), Seller shall as promptly as practicable prior to the date on which such right may be exercised provide written notice to Buyer of such opportunity, and Seller or its Affiliate shall, at Buyer's written direction (which shall be given as promptly as practicable), either not exercise such Right of First Refusal or exercise such Right of First Refusal to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the agreement governing such Right of First Refusal, and Seller or its Affiliate shall after such exercise, but only during the period prior to the Initial Closing Date, undertake to effectuate the purchase of such assets or of such majority interest in such Minority Owned Entity. If Seller or any of its Affiliates shall be required to exercise a Right of First Refusal or if Seller or any of its Affiliates has otherwise agreed to acquire the assets of a Minority Owned Entity, then:

(1) if the acquisition of such assets or of such majority interest has not occurred by the Initial Closing Date, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliate to, assign such Right of First Refusal or such contractual rights to purchase such assets to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations related thereto and thereafter be responsible for purchasing such assets or majority interest following receipt of the required FCC Approval; provided, that Buyer shall reimburse Seller on the Initial Closing Date for the full amount of the Urban Judgment to the extent Seller surrenders its claim to such amount in connection with a successful bid to acquire the assets of Urban; or

(2) if such acquisition has occurred by the Initial Closing Date (i) upon the transfer of such assets or majority interest to Seller or its Affiliate, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all amounts incurred by Seller and its Affiliates to purchase such assets or such majority interest in accordance with the terms of the agreement governing such Right of First Refusal, including the full amount of the Urban Judgment to the extent Seller surrenders its claim to such amount in connection with a successful bid to acquire the assets of Urban, (ii) such

assets or such majority interest shall be transferred to Buyer promptly after receipt of any required FCC Approval and (iii) the affiliation agreement between the station owned by such Subsidiary and HSN, if any, shall terminate no later than twelve (12) months after the Initial Closing Date.

(b) Sale to Third-Party. If prior to the Initial Closing Date the assets of any Minority Owned Entity are sold to a third party, Seller shall pay Buyer at the Initial Closing the amount received by Seller or any of its Affiliates for its interest in such entity, and if such amount differs from the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the entity owning such assets as set forth on Exhibit B, the purchase price payment schedule set forth on Exhibit B shall be adjusted as mutually agreed by the parties to reallocate such difference to the other Stations being transferred at the Initial Closing, provided the aggregate Purchase Price shall not be increased.

(c) Termination of HSN Agreements. If subsequent to the Initial Closing Buyer acquires all of the equity in a Minority Owned Entity or acquires the station owned by such entity, the affiliation agreement between such station and HSN, if any, shall terminate no later than twelve (12) months after the closing date for such acquisition.

4.13 Possession and Control. Prior to the transfer by Seller to Buyer of Seller's interest in any Station, Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, control, supervise or direct, or attempt to control, supervise or direct, the Business and operations of such Station, and such operation, including complete control and supervision of all programming, shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. On and after the transfer by Seller to Buyer of Seller's interest in any Station, Seller shall have no control over, or right to intervene, supervise, direct or participate in, the Business and operations of such Station.

4.14 Schedule 2.4 Liabilities. During the applicable Interim Period for each Station, Seller shall continue to satisfy the liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.4 with respect to such Station in the ordinary course of business consistent with the past practices of Seller. At each Closing, the liabilities of the Subsidiaries being transferred to Buyer at such Closing shall only include those liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.4 (other than the liabilities for which Seller shall continue to be responsible as provided in the third sentence of this Section 4.14) and liabilities incurred as permitted by this Agreement. From and after the Closing of the transfer of the shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary, Buyer shall or shall cause the Subsidiaries to satisfy the liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.4 (whether or not included under a heading which includes the words "Booked", "Unbooked", "Unrecorded" or "Other Contract Obligations") with respect to the Stations owned by such Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business consistent with the past practices of the broadcasting business of Buyer; provided, however, that Seller shall continue to be responsible for the following liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.4 with respect to such Stations: (a) the liabilities on Schedule 2.4 under the headings "Potential Claims", "Workers' Compensation", "Other Claims" and "Lawsuits" and (b) the $8,280,000 liability to Cablevision for advertising availability set forth on Schedule 2.4 under the heading "New York Schedule of Unrecorded Contract Liabilities."

4.15 Risk of Loss. The risk of loss or damage by fire or other casualty or cause to the assets of any Station or Station Works shall be upon Seller until the date of the Closing at which Seller's interest in the Subsidiary that owns such assets are transferred to Buyer. In the event of any such loss or damage that would cause the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) not to be satisfied because of the occurrence of such loss or damage (a "Material Casualty Loss"), Seller shall restore, replace or repair the damaged assets to their previous condition; provided, however, that if any such Material Casualty Loss shall not have been restored, replaced or repaired as of the date of the Closing scheduled for the

transfer of the Stock of the Subsidiary that owns such assets, Seller shall have the right to delay the date of such Closing for a period of up to ninety (90) business days from the date such Closing would otherwise occur (or a longer period if Buyer shall consent in writing) to make such restorations, replacements or repairs as are necessary; provided, further, that if such delay shall be the sole cause of such Closing occurring after the Outside Closing Date and, as a result, Buyer shall be obligated to make payment to Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(d), then Buyer shall have the right to withhold from such payment an amount equal to the portion of such payment (as set forth on Exhibit B) attributable to the Subsidiary that owns, as applicable, Station Works or the Station at which such loss or damage occurred, and Seller shall not be obligated to transfer the Stock of the Subsidiary that owns such Station or Station Works. Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice of the completion of the restoration, replacement or repair of such loss or damage, and on the tenth (10^th) business day following such notice Seller shall transfer the Stock of such Subsidiary to Buyer, and Buyer shall pay to Seller any such withheld amount. In the event of any such loss or damage prior to a Closing that does not constitute a Material Casualty Loss, Seller shall, at its option, either (a) restore, replace or repair such loss or damage, in which case Seller shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds to which Seller or the Subsidiaries would be entitled as a result of such loss or damage, or (b) assign such insurance proceeds to Buyer, whereupon Seller shall have no further liability to Buyer for such loss or damage (pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement or otherwise).

4.16 Certain Transfers. Except for any Excluded Assets, to the extent that Seller or any Affiliate of Seller holds any assets or rights used or held for use with respect to the Stations or is responsible for any liabilities or obligations with respect to the Stations which are set forth on Schedule 2.4, Seller or its Affiliates shall transfer such assets, rights, liabilities or obligations to the appropriate O&O Subsidiary prior to the Closing for such O&O Subsidiary.

4.17 Station Works and MI Subsidiaries. On or prior to the Initial Closing Date, Seller shall cause the assets and liabilities of Station Works to be contributed to the SW Subsidiary.

4.19 Settlement Agreements. If, with the prior approval of Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Seller or any Subsidiary enters into an agreement (a "Settlement Agreement") that terminates any Contract related to the operations of any Station or Station Works (including (a) an agreement set forth on Schedule 2.4 under the heading "Schedule of

Unrecorded Contractual Liabilities as of November, 2000," (b) an employment agreement with any Subsidiary Employee or (c) an agreement set forth on Schedule 2.4 under the heading "Schedule of Program Liabilities as of November 30, 2000"), Buyer shall reimburse Seller at the Closing with respect to the Subsidiary subject to such Settlement Agreement for the amount equal to (x) the amount paid by Seller pursuant to the Settlement Agreement multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the period commencing with the Closing Date with respect to such Subsidiary and ending on the date on which such terminated Contract would otherwise have terminated in the absence of such Settlement Agreement (the "Original Termination Date"), and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the period commencing with the date on which the Contract referred to in this Section 4.19 terminates (the "New Termination Date") and ending on the Original Termination Date. Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer at least five (5) business days before each Closing Date of the amount of all such settlement payments with respect to the Subsidiaries being transferred at such Closing. All reimbursement amounts paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 4.19 shall be independent from and in addition to the Purchase Price hereunder.

5.2 Employment Matters.

(a) As of the date of each Closing, Buyer shall cause each Subsidiary transferred to Buyer at such Closing to provide to the then employees of such Subsidiary (each, a "Subsidiary Employee"), aggregate employee benefits that are not materially less favorable than those provided by Buyer and Buyer's Affiliates to their similarly situated employees. To the extent permitted under applicable laws and the employee benefit plans or arrangements of Buyer or its Affiliates in which any Subsidiary Employee may be eligible to participate, Buyer shall provide credit for such Subsidiary Employee's period of service with the Subsidiary or predecessors thereof for all purposes in which time of service is applicable under such employee benefit plans or arrangements. To the extent permitted under applicable laws and the welfare benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates in which any Subsidiary Employee may be eligible to participate, Buyer shall waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Subsidiary Employee, other than those that were in effect and not satisfied as of the Closing Date with respect to such Subsidiary Employee under any welfare benefit plan maintained for such Subsidiary Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not create, in any Subsidiary Employee, any rights to

employment or continued employment with Buyer or its Affiliates or any right to specific terms or conditions of employment.

(b) Seller shall retain all liabilities and obligations, whether arising before or after the Closing Date, with respect to Subsidiary Employees under any employee benefit policies, plans, arrangements, programs, practices or agreements maintained or contributed to by Seller or any of the Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date.

For purposes of this Section 5.3, (a) the first One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) received by Buyer and its Affiliates for all transactions described in this Section 5.3 for all of the Stations, as a group, shall be retained by Buyer, (b) to the extent any such consideration is for other than cash, Seller shall receive a cash payment from Buyer based on the fair market value of the consideration received by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer; (c) in determining the amount of such consideration received by Buyer and its Affiliates, there shall be deducted the amount of actual, direct, out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the transaction that resulted in such consideration; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 5.3 the amount of costs or expenses deemed to be incurred by Buyer and its Affiliates shall not exceed such consideration received by Buyer or its Affiliates; and (d) if any transaction or series of transactions described in this Section 5.3 involves television stations in addition to the Stations, Buyer agrees to allocate fairly to the Stations the proportionate share of consideration attributable to the Stations based on relative size of the Designated Market Areas in which the Stations operate and the relative amount of spectrum of the Stations utilized in such transaction or series of transactions.

If requested by Seller, Buyer agrees to restructure the sale of the stock of one or more of the Subsidiaries as contemplated herein to the sale of the assets of a Station in order to allow Seller to structure a subsequent acquisition by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller as an exchange qualifying the disposition of any such Station for non-recognition of gain under Section 1031 of the Code, so long as such restructuring does not impose any additional cost on Buyer that is not reimbursed by Seller or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. The parties agree to execute such agreements and other documents as may be necessary to complete and otherwise effectuate a Tax-deferred exchange by Seller.

Additional allocations required but not provided for in said Exhibit B will be made in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, and in accordance with Buyer's and Seller's reasonable determination of the fair market values of the relevant assets, which determination shall be made not later than 90 days following the relevant Closing. Seller shall prepare the initial draft of each Form 8023 and attachments thereto as soon as possible after the relevant Closing, and will promptly submit such Form 8023 to Buyer for its review and Approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Liability For Taxes. Seller shall be liable for and pay, and shall indemnify Buyer and each Subsidiary against (i) all Taxes imposed on any Subsidiary, or for which any Subsidiary may otherwise be liable, as a result of having been a member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group prior to the applicable Closing with respect to the stock of such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, Taxes for which any Subsidiary may be liable pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-6 or similar provisions of state, local or foreign law), (ii) all Taxes imposed on any Subsidiary, or for which any Subsidiary may otherwise be liable, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including, but not limited to, any Taxes resulting from any 338(h)(10) Election contemplated by this Agreement or from any Subsidiary ceasing to be a member of any consolidated, combined or unitary group), and (iii) Taxes arising as a result of any breach of the representation contained in Section 2.7 and the covenants contained in Section 8.3(a). Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Seller's indemnification obligations under this Section 8.3(b) will survive without limitation and will not be subject to the Basket or Cap.

(c) Straddle Periods. For purposes of Section 8.3(b), whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of any Subsidiary for a period that begins before and ends after a Closing Date (a "Straddle Period"), the determination of the Taxes of such Subsidiary for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and, items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Subsidiary for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a "closing of the books basis" by assuming that the books of the Subsidiary were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that real and personal property taxes and exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis.

(d) Tax Returns. Seller shall cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to each Subsidiary for tax periods actually ending on or prior to the applicable Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for causing the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns required to be filed for Straddle Periods. Any state and local Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice of the relevant Subsidiary and, on such Tax Returns, no position shall

be taken, elections made or method adopted by Buyer or by Seller if it would have an adverse impact on the other party, without the other party's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in preparing and filing similar Tax Returns in prior periods. Buyer will cause to be delivered, at least 45 days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return (including extensions), to Seller a copy of such Tax Return. Seller and Buyer agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Return and mutually to consent to the filing as promptly as possible of such Tax Return.

(e) Contest Provisions. Promptly after receipt by Buyer, Seller or one of their Affiliates of written notice of the assertion or commencement of any claim, audit, examination or other proposed change or adjustment by any taxing authority relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a "Tax Claim"), the recipient shall immediately notify the other party hereto. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax Claim in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority in respect of any such asserted Tax Claim. The failure of Seller to receive prompt notice from Buyer or its Affiliates as provided herein shall not relieve Seller of any of its obligations under Section 8.3(b) except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Seller's ability to defend the Tax Claim. Seller shall have the right to represent each Subsidiary's interests in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and to employ counsel of Seller's choice at its expense; provided, however, that Buyer and its representatives shall be permitted, at their expense, to be present at any such audit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall be entitled to settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any claim for Taxes which would materially adversely affect the liability for Taxes of Buyer, or any Subsidiary or for any period after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Buyer. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be necessary to the extent that (i) the settlement is consistent with the positions previously taken by the Subsidiary, or (ii) Seller has agreed to indemnify Buyer or the Company against the effects of any such settlement.

(f) Assistance And Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall (and cause their respective Affiliates to):

(1) timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to sales, transfer and similar Taxes;

(2) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 8.3(d);

(3) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of a Subsidiary;

(4) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of each Subsidiary; and

(5) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period.

8.4 Procedure.

(a) Notice. Any party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any Loss shall promptly give notice to the party required to provide indemnity hereunder (the "Indemnifying Party"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of any Indemnified Party to be indemnified with respect to any Loss resulting from the asserted liability shall not be adversely

affected by the Indemnified Party's failure to give or delay in giving notice unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) Defense. If any claim, demand or liability is asserted by any third party against any Indemnified Party (a "Third-Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party will (upon notice of said claim or demand) promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall defend and/or settle any actions or proceedings brought against the Indemnified Party in respect of matters embraced by the indemnity with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not promptly defend or settle any such claims, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct and control any defense or settlement, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Except as provided by the preceding sentence, no claim will be settled or compromised without the prior written consent of each party to be affected by such settlement or compromise, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party shall at all times also have the right to participate fully in the defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the legal fees of one counsel for the Indemnified Party if the Third-Party Claim is made both against the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there would be a conflict of interest in having the same counsel represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. The parties will cooperate in the defense of all Third-Party Claims that may give rise to Indemnifiable Claims hereunder. In connection with the defense of any claim, each party will make available to the party controlling such defense any books, records or other documents within its control that are reasonably requested in the course of such defense.

(c) Inter-Party Claims. If the Indemnified Party has a claim against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim (an "Inter-Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing with reasonable promptness of such claim, specifying the nature, estimated amount and the specific basis for such claim. The Indemnifying Party will respond within 45 days of receipt of such notice of an Inter-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party timely disputes such claim, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute, and if not so resolved, either party may pursue whatever remedies it may have.

(d) Insurance Matters. If any Loss is covered by insurance Buyer shall use good faith efforts to exhaust claims against such policies. The provisions of this Article are subject to the rights of any Indemnified Party's insurer which may be defending any such claim.

(e) Subrogation. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment hereunder of a Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any insurer or third party with respect to such Loss.

(f) Mitigation. Each party agrees to use reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss which forms the basis for any claim for indemnification hereunder.

8.5 No Offset. If any matter as to which Buyer may be able to assert a claim hereunder is pending or unresolved at the time any payment is due from Buyer to Seller under this Agreement, Buyer shall have no right to offset, deduct, counterclaim or otherwise withhold from such payment due to Seller any amount with respect to any pending or unresolved claim.

Thereafter, Buyer shall have the right to require that Seller transfer some or all of the Subsidiaries to a third party designated in writing by Buyer (a "Designee"); provided, however, Buyer shall provide Seller at least ten (10) days written notice before entering into an agreement with a Designee; provided, further, that (i) such Designee shall be jointly and severally liable for the liabilities or obligations of Buyer hereunder with respect to such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries; (ii) an FCC Approval shall have been issued on or prior to the closing for such Subsidiary authorizing such transfer to such Designee; (iii) the transfer to such Designee would not violate any Laws, (iv) such transfer to a Designee shall not relieve or release Buyer from any liabilities or obligations hereunder; (v) there shall be no assignment or transfer (actual or implied) of this Agreement to the Designee; (vi) Seller shall have no liabilities or obligations to such Designee under this Agreement or otherwise; and (vii) such Designee shall deliver to the Seller a written certificate, pursuant to which the Designee acknowledges and agrees for the benefit of Seller to the terms and conditions of the designation as described herein. The parties shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in making any modifications to the closing documents and deliveries that may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transfer of any Subsidiary to any Designee pursuant to this Section 9.5.

9.6 Headings. The descriptive headings of the Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto or any other agreement (or document) delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts. All of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement (or other document) and shall become effective (unless otherwise provided therein) when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party.

9.8 Publicity and Reports. Seller and Buyer shall coordinate all publicity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no party shall issue any press release, publicity statement or other public notice relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without consulting with the other party except to the extent that a particular action is required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

9.9 Confidentiality.

(a) All information which is non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature whether disclosed orally or in writing by Buyer or Seller (or their respective Representatives) before or after the date hereof, in connection with the transactions contemplated by, or the discussions and negotiations preceding, this Agreement to the other party (or its Representatives) (the "Confidential Information") shall be kept confidential by such other party and its Representatives and shall not be used by any such Persons other than as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The duty of confidentiality set forth in Section 9.9(a) shall be inoperative as to those particular portions of the Confidential Information that (i) become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the recipient or the recipient's Representatives, (ii) were available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to the recipient pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the source of such information was not known by the recipient or the recipient's Representatives to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the other party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such information, (iii) become available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other party or its Representatives, provided that the source of such information was not known by the recipient or the recipient's Representatives to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the other party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such information.

(c) In the event that a recipient of Confidential Information or anyone to whom such recipient transmits any Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or similar process), in connection with any proceeding, to disclose any Confidential Information, such recipient will give the other party prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the recipient will cooperate with the other party to obtain such protective order. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the other party waives compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the recipient (or such other persons to whom such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. It is further agreed that if, in the absence of a protective order the recipient (or such other persons to whom such request is directed) is legally compelled to disclose such information, the recipient may make such disclosure without liability hereunder, provided that the recipient has complied with its obligations under this Section 9.9 and, upon the other party's request, uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, each party shall use all reasonable efforts to return upon written request from the other party all documents (and reproductions thereof) received by it or its Representatives from such other party (and, in the case of reproductions, all such reproductions made by the receiving party) that include information not within the exceptions contained in Section 9.9(b), unless the recipients provide assurances reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party that such documents have been destroyed. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of written Confidential Information the recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by the obligations of confidentiality under this Agreement.

9.10 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for Section 9.5(a) (which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons provided for therein and may be enforced by such Persons). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation of any third person to (or to confer any right of subrogation or action against) any party to this Agreement.

9.11 Performance by Subsidiaries.

9.14 Waiver. No failure on the part of any party to exercise or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further or other exercise of such or any other right.

9.15 Attorney's Fees. In the event of any Action for the breach of this Agreement or misrepresentation by any party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred in such Action. Attorney's fees incurred in enforcing any judgment in respect of this Agreement are recoverable as a separate item. The parties intend that the preceding sentence be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement, survive any judgment and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, not be deemed merged into such judgment.

9.16 Knowledge Convention. Whenever any statement herein or in any Schedule, Exhibit, certificate or other documents delivered to any party pursuant to this Agreement is made "to the

knowledge" or words of similar intent or effect of any party or its representative:(a)(i) with respect to Seller such statement shall be limited to the actual knowledge of the directors, executive officers and the director of engineering and technology of Seller and the directors and executive officers of each Subsidiary, and (ii) with respect to Buyer such statement shall be limited to the actual knowledge of the directors and executive officers of Buyer; and (b) such person making such statement shall not be required to conduct any investigation of the subject matter thereof, and such statement shall not imply or be deemed to imply that any such investigation has been conducted.

9.17 Representation By Counsel; Interpretation. Seller and Buyer each acknowledge that each party to this Agreement has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of Law, or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. Unless the context otherwise requires, (a) a term has the meaning assigned to it, (b) "or" is not exclusive, (c) words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural include the singular, (d) "herein," "hereof" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section, Subsection, paragraph, clause, or other subdivision, (e) all references to "Section," "Schedule" or "Exhibit" refer to the particular Section, Schedule or Exhibit in or attached to this Agreement, and (f) "including" and "includes," when following any general provision, sentence, clause, statement, term or matter, will be deemed to be followed by," but not limited to," and," but is not limited to," respectively.

9.18 Specific Performance. Seller and Buyer each acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the Business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party would not have an adequate remedy at Law for money damages if this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that the other party shall be entitled to specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at Law or in equity.

9.19 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Law shall remain in full force and effect provided that the intent and purpose of the parties are not frustrated thereby. In the event of any such determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and purposes hereof. To the extent permitted by Law, the parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of Law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

9.20 No Consequential or Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no party (or its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable to the other party (or its Affiliates) for any consequential or punitive damages, including, but not limited to, loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.
