For purposes of this Section 2.5(d), an “Individual Tradeout Credit” shall mean the extent any liabilities under Tradeout Agreements for a particular Seller Market on the Closing Date exceed by more than $50,000 the value of any assets from Tradeout Agreements for a particular Seller Market as of the Closing Date.

Such list shall show the net amount credited to or charged against the account of Buyer (the “Adjustment Amount”). If the Adjustment Amount is a credit to the account of Buyer, Seller shall pay by wire transfer such amount to Buyer of the undisputed portion of the Adjustment Amount within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Adjustment List. If the Adjustment Amount is a charge to the account of Buyer, Buyer shall pay by wire transfer such amount to Seller of the undisputed portion of the Adjustment Amount within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Adjustment List. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that certain prorations (i.e., rebates and volume discounts) may not be known by the parties at the Closing or within the time period for the delivery of the Adjustment List and that the parties shall cooperate to make such adjustments in a timely manner when they become aware of such prorations.

(g) Not later than thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Adjustment List, Seller may furnish Buyer with written notification of any dispute concerning any items shown thereon or omitted therefrom together with a detailed explanation in support of Seller’s position in respect thereof.

In the event of any such dispute, that portion of the Adjustment Amount that is not in dispute shall be paid to the party entitled to receive the same by wire transfer on the day for payment provided in Section 2.5(f). If such thirty (30) day consultation period expires and the dispute has not been resolved, the matter shall be referred to an independent public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer (the “Accountants”), which shall resolve the dispute and shall render its decision (together with a brief explanation in reasonable detail of the basis therefor) to Buyer and Seller not later than thirty (30) days following submission of the dispute to it; provided, however, if Buyer and Seller are unable to mutually agree upon an independent public accounting firm, then Buyer and Seller shall each choose an independent public accounting firm and those firms shall appoint a third independent public accounting firm to act as the Accountants. The disputed portion of the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by wire transfer by the party required to pay the same within five (5) business days after the delivery of a copy of such decision to Seller and Buyer. The fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer.

(h) Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 2.5(f) regarding certain prorations, the Adjustment List (to the extent not disputed within the specified period by Seller), any mutually agreed written settlement of any such dispute concerning the Adjustment List and any determination of disputed items by the Accountants shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto absent manifest error.

(a) For purposes of Buyer’s obligation to collect the Accounts Receivable as set forth in this Section 2.11, for all Accounts Receivable, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to create and deliver to Buyer within five (5) days after the Closing Date a complete and detailed statement of Accounts Receivable, showing the name, amount and age of each Account Receivable as of the Closing Date (“Receivables List”). Buyer shall, in the ordinary course of business, prepare invoices for each account debtor, which shall include the Accounts Receivable, and shall deliver such invoices to the applicable account debtors in the ordinary course of business, but not later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date. Effective upon the Closing Date, during the Collection Period (as defined herein), Seller hereby constitutes and appoints Buyer, its successors and assigns, the true and lawful attorney of Seller with full power of substitution, in the name of Buyer, or the name of Seller, on behalf of and for the benefit of Seller, to collect the Accounts Receivable, to endorse, without recourse, checks, notes and other instruments in the name of Seller and to do all such further acts and things in relation thereto as is contemplated by this Section 2.11. Seller agrees that the foregoing powers are coupled with an interest. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that any invoices prepared and delivered by Buyer to account debtors in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be for a normal billing cycle as implemented by Buyer and there will not be a special invoice or demand letters sent to account debtors based upon the Closing Date and outside of such normal billing cycle.

(b) Buyer will collect the Accounts Receivable in the same manner and with the same diligence that Buyer uses to collect its own accounts receivable for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of delivery of the Receivables List to Buyer (the “Collection Period”). Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each full calendar month in the Collection Period (i) Buyer shall furnish Seller with a list of the amounts collected during such period with respect to the Accounts Receivable and an Accounts Receivable aging report and (ii) Buyer shall pay over to Seller (or its designee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds such collected amounts in full.

(c) Any payment received by Buyer during the Collection Period from any account debtor owing on any of the Accounts Receivable shall first be applied in reduction of the oldest outstanding balance due from such account debtor, except to the extent the account debtor shall otherwise expressly provide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an account debtor disputes its obligations for an Account Receivable, Buyer shall promptly return all records relating to the disputed account to Seller, and Buyer shall have no further obligation with respect to the collection thereof. So long as Buyer is in compliance with this Section 2.11, and except for disputed accounts returned to Seller, neither Seller nor its agents or successors or assigns shall make any direct solicitation of the account debtors for collection purposes or other direct attempts to collect from account debtors during such Collection Period except as may be agreed to by Buyer. Upon the expiration of the Collection Period, Buyer shall pay to Seller (or its designee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds all remaining amounts collected with

respect to Accounts Receivable and furnish Seller with a (i) a statement of accounts for each Account Receivable which then remains uncollected prepared substantially in the manner in which Seller has heretofore prepared such report for the Stations, (ii) copies of all open Accounts Receivable invoices, (iii) an Accounts Receivable aging report and (iv) all files to the extent concerning the collection or attempts to collect such accounts hereunder; thereafter Buyer shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to such Accounts Receivable. Any amounts received by Buyer after the Collection Period expires which can be identified as a payment of the Accounts Receivable will be promptly paid over to Seller. Buyer shall not be obligated to use any extraordinary efforts (including, demand letters), or such other action other than those it would customarily undertake in the ordinary course of business, to collect any of the Accounts Receivable or to refer any of such Accounts Receivable to a collection agency or to an attorney for collection, and Buyer shall not make any such referral or compromise, settle or adjust the amount of any Account Receivable, except with the approval of Seller. Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller for any uncollected amount. The payment by Buyer of collected Accounts Receivable to Seller hereunder shall in all events be net of commissions due to employees, national sales representatives and advertising agency sales representatives (except to the extent already paid) paid by Buyer on behalf of Seller at Buyer’s applicable commission rate, and Buyer shall promptly pay such commissions to the appropriate party solely to the extent of collections of Accounts Receivable.

2.12 Section 1031 Exchanges. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may wish to transfer any or all of the Purchased Assets in a transaction intending to qualify in whole or in part for nonrecognition of gain pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code. If Seller so desires, it shall provide Buyer with a written statement, at least five (5) days prior to Closing, stating Seller’s intent to qualify the transfer of the Purchased Assets specified in such statement as a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Code. Buyer agrees that at the request of Seller, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Purchased Assets, as specified in the written statement, to any single “qualified intermediary” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)) designated by Seller in lieu of and in complete satisfaction of the portion of the Purchase Price otherwise payable to Seller. In addition, Buyer agrees that it will cooperate with Seller in completing any such exchange, and shall execute all such agreements, instructions, instruments, and other documents as Seller shall reasonably request with respect to such exchange. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall be construed to (a) require that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be conditioned upon completion of any such exchange, (b) permit Seller to delay the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer as required by this Agreement, including without limitation any delay of the FCC Consent or filing of the Assignment Application, (c) require Buyer to make any payment of any portion of the Purchase Price to any person other than Seller, the Escrow Agent, or a qualified intermediary designated by Seller in accordance with this Section 2.12, or (d) require that Buyer incur any additional expense or liability as a result of or otherwise in connection with any such exchange.

ARTICLE 3

GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS AND CONTROL OF STATIONS

3.1 FCC Consent. Consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and the performance of the obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Agreement are subject to the condition that the FCC or its staff shall have given its consent in writing, without any condition materially adverse to Buyer or Seller, to the assignment of the Licenses to Buyer, other than as set forth in Section 3.6 hereof.

3.2 Application For FCC Consent.

(a) Seller and Buyer agree to proceed expeditiously, in good faith, and with due diligence and to use their good faith best efforts and to cooperate with each other in seeking the FCC’s approval of the assignment of the Licenses to Buyer or in the case of the Great Falls Closing, Buyer’s designee. Within ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement, each party shall prepare its portion of an application for consent to assign the Licenses (the “Assignment Application”) for electronic filing by Seller with the FCC, including all information, data, exhibits, resolutions, statements and other materials necessary and proper in connection with such Assignment Application. Seller and Buyer further agree expeditiously to prepare and submit amendments to the Assignment Application whenever such amendments are required by the FCC or its rules. Seller and Buyer will promptly provide to the other(s) a copy of any pleading, order or other document it receives from other parties relating to the Assignment Application. Buyer and Seller shall oppose any efforts by any third parties for action against the Assignment Application, and for reconsideration or judicial review of the grant by the FCC of the Assignment Application (but nothing in this Article 3 shall limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 of this Agreement).

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, each party will be solely responsible for the expenses incurred by it in the preparation, filing and prosecution of its respective portion of the Assignment Application. All filing fees imposed by the FCC shall be paid one-half (1/2) by Seller and one-half (1/2) by Buyer.

(c) Seller and Buyer agree to comply with any condition imposed by the FCC, except that no such party shall be required to comply with a condition that would have a material adverse effect upon it unless the condition was imposed as the result of a circumstance which constitutes a breach by that party of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement, other than as set forth in Section 3.6 hereof.

3.3 Notice of Application. Seller shall, at its own expense, give the notice of the filing of the Assignment Application as required by the FCC’s rules.

3.4 Delay in Approval of Application. Seller or Buyer, not then being in default under this Agreement, at their option may terminate this Agreement by providing ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other party, without liability, at any time after one (1) year from the date hereof, if the FCC has not granted the Assignment Application by that date; provided, however, if a Final Order is required by Buyer or Seller and the FCC has provided an initial

grant of the Assignment Application within such one (1) year period from the date hereof, then Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall have the right to extend the Closing Date through a date no later than sixty (60) days thereafter. In the event of such termination, each party shall bear its own expenses, and the Escrow Agent shall return to Buyer the Escrow Deposit (as such amount remains on such effective date of termination) (including all interest earned thereon) without foreclosing any other remedies Buyer or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties may choose to pursue.

3.5 Other Governmental Consents. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall prepare and file with the appropriate governmental authorities any other requests for approval or waiver, if any, that are required from other governmental authorities in connection with the Closing, and shall diligently and expeditiously prosecute, and shall cooperate fully with each other in the prosecution of, such requests for approval or waiver and all proceedings necessary to secure such approvals and waivers.

3.6 Great Falls Waiver. The parties acknowledge that Buyer’s affiliates currently own radio stations in Great Falls, Montana and that the purchase of all of Seller’s Stations in Great Falls, Montana will cause Buyer to exceed the ownership limits for radio stations in that market as prescribed by the Communications Laws. Accordingly, Buyer and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties acknowledge that Buyer will request from the FCC in the Assignment Application a waiver of these ownership limits in Great Falls, Montana by requesting FCC consent to the use of a voting trust or other means of establishing independent ownership for certain of the radio stations in Great Falls, Montana such that Buyer will comply with the radio ownership limits for the Great Falls market at the Closing (collectively, the “Great Falls Waiver”). Buyer shall expeditiously, in good faith, and with due diligence exercise its best efforts in seeking the FCC’s approval of the Great Falls Waiver.

COVENANTS

From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing:

6.1 Access. Buyer and its authorized agents, officers and representatives shall have access, upon reasonable prior notice, to the Business, the Stations and the Purchased Assets to conduct such examination and investigation of the Business, the Stations and the Purchased Assets as it reasonably deems necessary (including meeting with Station Employees), provided that such examinations shall be during the Stations’ normal business hours, and shall not unreasonably interfere with the Stations’ operations and activities. Buyer shall give the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties prompt written notice if Buyer discovers facts or circumstances that would cause either of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party’s representations or warranties to be materially false or misleading; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall neither excuse the failure of such representations or warranties to be true when and as made, nor constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Additionally, Seller shall furnish to Buyer such information and materials concerning the Stations’ affairs as Buyer may reasonably request, so far as such access, information and materials pertain to the operation of the Stations and do not impose undue burden or cost upon Seller.

6.2 Title Insurance; Surveys and Lien Search. Seller shall cooperate fully with Buyer and Buyer and Seller will use their good faith commercially reasonable efforts so that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof with respect to the items set forth in Section 6.2(a) and 6.2(b), ninety (90) days with respect to the item set forth in Section 6.2(d), and with respect to the item set forth in Section 6.2(c) within ten (10) days prior to the Closing, the following shall have been obtained by Buyer and Seller, as provided herein:

(a) With respect to the Real Property, Seller shall cause the Title Companies to issue and deliver to Buyer preliminary reports on title covering a date subsequent to the date hereof, which preliminary reports shall contain a commitment (individually, a “Title Commitment” and collectively, the “Title Commitments”) of the Title Companies to issue an owner’s or lessee’s title insurance policy on ALTA Owners or Lessees Policy (and corresponding mortgagee’s policies) insuring the fee simple or leasehold interest of Seller in such parcels of Real Property (individually, a “Title Policy” and collectively, the “Title Policies”) as well as legible copies of all underlying title documents referenced in such Title Commitment. To the extent available from the Title Companies, all standard exceptions shall be removed from the Title Policies and the Title Policies shall contain extended coverage over the general exceptions to title which do not require the delivery of an ALTA survey and which can be removed by the delivery by Seller of an ALTA statement, owner’s affidavit or such similar certificate as is customarily required by the Title Company to issue such coverage. The cost of extended coverage and any other endorsement obtained by Buyer in connection with the issuance of the Title Policies shall be paid for by Buyer. The Title Commitments (and Title Policies issued to Buyer) shall not be subject to any Liens other than (i) Liens that will be released or removed at or prior to Closing, (ii) Permitted Liens or (iii) those exceptions listed on SCHEDULE 4.9 and Leases listed in SCHEDULE 1.5 in which Seller is the lessor of a transmission tower; provided, however, if Buyer has an objection to title it shall notify Seller of such objection or defect (“Notice of Defect”) within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Title Commitment and Survey (as described in Section 6.2(b) hereof) and Seller shall have until the Closing Date to cure such objection or defect. The Title Commitments (and Title Policies issued to Buyer) for the leasehold interests of the Seller in the Real Property shall commit to insure or insure, as appropriate, those Leases listed in SCHEDULE 1.5. Any mortgage, security deed, deed of trust, lien, judgment, or other claim in liquidated amount which constitutes an exception to the title to the Real Property (whether or not the same is disclosed by the Title Commitment or listed in the Notice of Defect) shall not in any event be a “Permitted Lien” hereunder, but such claim shall be paid or satisfied out of the sums payable by Buyer at Closing, and the proceeds of sale payable to Seller shall be reduced accordingly. At any time prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right to notify Seller of any additional title exception which first appears of record after the effective date of the Title Commitment, is disclosed by any survey obtained by Buyer, or otherwise becomes known to Buyer, it being understood and agreed that no such additional title exception shall constitute a Permitted Lien hereunder unless Buyer shall expressly approve the same or unless such exception was caused by Buyer. Seller shall use its best efforts to cooperate with Buyer and any applicable landlord to obtain each leasehold Title Policy.

(b) If desired by Buyer, Buyer shall at its own expense obtain ALTA-ASCM Surveys of the Real Property as of a date subsequent to the date hereof which shall: (i) be prepared by a registered land surveyor; (ii) be certified to the Title Companies, Buyer’s lender and Buyer; and (iii) show with respect to such Real Property: (A) the legal description of such parcel of Real Property (which shall be the same as the Title Policy pertaining thereto); (B) all buildings, structures and improvements thereon and all restrictions of record and other restrictions that have been established by an applicable zoning or building code or ordinance and all easements or rights of way; (C) no encroachments upon such parcel or adjoining parcels by buildings, structures or improvements; and (D) access to a public street from such parcel, if applicable. Any restrictions, encroachments (onto the Real Property or from the Real Property onto adjoining property) or other claims which materially affect the intended use of the Real Property as disclosed on the Survey shall be a “Survey Defect,” and if Buyer shall have an objection to such Survey, Buyer shall notify Seller of such objection within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Survey and the Title Commitment and Seller shall have until the Closing Date to cure such objection of Survey Defect.

(c) With regard to the Purchased Assets other than the Real Property, Buyer shall obtain lien search reports prepared by an independent, nationally recognized reporting service (the “Purchased Assets Reports”), reflecting the results of UCC, tax and judgment lien searches conducted at the applicable state offices of the States of Montana and Washington, and in the County Clerk’s office of any county in which the Purchased Assets are located, to the effect that: (i) none of the Purchased Assets is subject to any record Lien for federal, state or local Taxes or assessments, excepting only a Lien for property Taxes not yet due and payable; and (ii) there are no then-effective financing statements pertaining to any of the Purchased Assets, except for financing statements that will be released at or before the Closing.

(d) (I) Within ninety (90) calendar days from the date hereof (the “Phase I Time Period”), Buyer shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to engage an environmental engineering firm reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Consultant”) to conduct a Phase I Environmental Assessment, as such term is commonly understood (a “Phase I Environment Assessment”) concerning each Station and the Purchased Assets which shall confirm, in a manner satisfactory to Buyer, that there are no Recognized Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in the American Society of Testing and Materials Standard for Phase I Environmental Assessments) (a “Recognized Environmental Condition”) on or about each Station and the accuracy of Seller’s representations set forth in Section 4.25. A copy of the Phase I Environmental Assessment shall be delivered to Seller within seven (7) days of Buyer’s receipt of the same.

(II) If the Phase I Environmental Assessment conducted in connection with Section (d)(I) above details a Recognized Environmental Condition in connection with the Real Property, the Consultant reasonably recommends further investigatory action with respect to such Recognized Environmental Condition, and Buyer delivers such assessment and recommendation to Seller within twenty (20) calendar days from Buyer’s receipt of the Phase I Environmental Assessment, Buyer shall have the right until fifty-five (55) calendar days from the expiration of the Phase I Time Period (the “Phase II Time Period”), to have Seller, at its cost and expense, conduct the investigation so recommended (the “Phase II Inspection”); provided, however, Seller shall have the right to review and, in its reasonable discretion, approve the work

plan for any Phase II Inspection proposed. Any damage caused by Seller or its agents, in the course of any Phase II Inspection shall be promptly repaired by Seller, at its sole cost and expense.

(III) If it is determined that there is a Recognized Environmental Condition in connection with the Real Property and there is a Phase II Inspection, the Consultant shall provide an estimate to Buyer and Seller of the cost and expense of clean up, removal, remedial, corrective or responsive action necessary to address such Recognized Environmental Condition (the “Environmental Work”), which estimate shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for those estimates; provided, however, the Environmental Work shall be designed to meet the least stringent standards or requirements so as not to be a violation under applicable Environmental Laws (taking into account the zoning of the applicable Real Property and the current uses of resources thereon). If the estimated costs of Environmental Work are equal to or less than Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000), Seller shall, at its election, either cause such Environmental Work to be completed at Seller’s sole cost and expense to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, in which case Closing shall be delayed until such Environmental Work has been completed, or the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the estimate. If such Environmental Work exceeds Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000), Seller may elect to complete Environmental Work or terminate this Agreement and return the Escrow Deposit, together with all accrued interest thereon, to Buyer by providing written notice to Buyer within ten (10) days after receipt of the estimate for the Environmental Work; provided, however, Buyer may elect, within ten (10) days of receipt of said termination notice from Seller, to elect to Close the purchase pursuant to the Agreement and receive a Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollar ($375,000) credit against the Purchase Price. Without limiting the rights of Buyer herein or the obligations of Seller herein, as between Seller and third parties, Seller hereby reserves any and all rights that it may have against the tenants of the Owned Real Property with respect thereto, including but not limited to any claim or right of contribution, indemnity or cost recovery under Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liabilities Act of 1980, as amended, and under any other federal or state environmental law, rule, regulation or statute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such Environmental Work exceeds Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000), Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement and Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Escrow Deposit together with all accrued interest thereon.

(IV) The parties understand and agree that the procedures outlined in this subsection (d) shall in no event delay the Closing beyond the date on which the Closing would occur but for such procedures.

(e) The expenses incurred relating to Sections 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) shall be paid by Buyer. The expenses incurred relating to Section 6.2(c) shall be paid by Seller.

existence of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without prior approval of the other party hereto, except as and to the extent that such party shall be obligated by law or regulation or by the rules, regulations or policies of any national securities exchange or association, in which case the other party shall be so advised and the parties shall use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued.

(j) any failure of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties to comply with its obligations under this Section 9.1; or

(k) any fees or expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Buyer in enforcing its rights hereunder.

For purposes of this Section 9.1, to the extent any facts or circumstances can be deemed a breach of a representation or warranty by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties, or be deemed a Retained Liability, such facts and circumstances shall be deemed to be a Retained Liability.

9.2 Indemnification of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties. Buyer covenants and agrees with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties that it shall reimburse and indemnify and hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties and their directors, officers, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from, against and in respect of any and all Claims incurred by any of Seller Indemnified Parties that result from:

9.3 Method of Asserting Claims.

(a) The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) will give prompt written notice to the other party or parties (the “Indemnitor”) of any Claim which it discovers or of which it receives notice after the Closing and which might give rise to a claim by it against Indemnitor under Section 9 hereof, stating the nature, basis and (to the extent known) amount thereof; provided that failure to give prompt notice shall not jeopardize the right of any Indemnitee to indemnification except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the ability of the Indemnitor to defend such Claim. Subject to the Indemnitor’s right to defend in good faith third party claims as hereinafter provided, the Indemnitor shall satisfy its obligations and this Article 9 within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Indemnitee.

(b) In case of any Claim or suit by a third party or by any Governmental Body, or any legal, administrative or arbitration proceeding with respect to which Indemnitor may have liability under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9, Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent desired by it, to assume the defense thereof, and after notice from Indemnitor to Indemnitee of the election so to assume the defense thereof, Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless Indemnitor does not actually assume the defense thereof following notice of such election. Indemnitee and Indemnitor will render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be required of each other in order to insure proper and adequate defense of any such suit, Claim or proceeding. If the Indemnitor actually assumes the defense of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will not make any settlement of any Claim which might give rise to liability of Indemnitor under the indemnity agreements contained in this Section without the written consent of Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Indemnitor shall not agree to make any settlement of any Claim which would not include the unconditional release of the Indemnitee without the written consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) If the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor of any claim or demand pursuant to Section 9.3(a), and if such claim or demand relates to a claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnitee which the Indemnitor acknowledges is a claim or demand for which it must indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitee under Sections 9.1 or 9.2, the Indemnitor shall have the right to employ counsel acceptable to the Indemnitee to defend any such claim or demand asserted against the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim or demand. The Indemnitor shall notify the Indemnitee in writing, as promptly as possible (but in any case before the due date for the answer or response to a claim) after the date of the notice of claim given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor under Section 9.3(a) of its election to defend in good faith any such third party claim

or demand. So long as the Indemnitor is defending in good faith any such claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such claim or demand. The Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor or its agents all records and other materials in the Indemnitee’s possession reasonably required by it for its use in contesting any third party claim or demand. Whether or not the Indemnitor elects to defend any such claim or demand, the Indemnitee shall have no obligations to do so.

9.4 Payment of Claims. Buyer shall have the right to cause any Claims it may have against the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, to be paid by reduction or offset of such Claims against any amounts payable by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, to the extent permitted under the Escrow Agreement, Buyer may offset any such Claims against the Escrow Reserve retained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof. The rights contained herein shall not be exclusive, but shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Buyer. If such Claims by Buyer are pending against the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties at such time as the Escrow Reserve would otherwise be disbursed by the Escrow Agent, then, to the extent permitted by the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall withhold from such disbursement any amount that would become necessary to satisfy such Claim until such time as such Claim has been resolved.

9.5 Nature and Survival of Representations. All statements made by or on behalf of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties herein or in the Schedules, shall be deemed representations and warranties of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer. The representations and warranties made by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties, on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, under this Agreement shall survive for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, except that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.15 (Taxes) and Section 4.24 (Employee Benefit Plans) shall survive the Closing until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.5 (Title), Section 4.21 (Brokers), Section 4.25 (Environmental Compliance) and Section 5.4 (Brokers) shall survive indefinitely.

9.6 Limitation on Aggregate Claims.

(a) No Claims may be asserted by a party pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(i) (as it relates to 9.1(a)) or 9.2(a) or 9.2(e) (as it relates to 9.2(a)) of this Agreement until the aggregate amount of all such Claims of such party shall exceed One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), at which time the party seeking indemnification shall be entitled to recover all amounts in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, the foregoing clause shall not apply to Claims with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.6(d) herein which may be asserted by Indemnitor without regard to whether any Threshold Amount has been met; provided further, however, (I) no Claims may be asserted by Indemnitor pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(i) (as it relates to 9.1(a)) of this Agreement with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.6(a) herein (“Equipment Claims”) until the aggregate amount of all such Equipment Claims of Indemnitor shall exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Equipment Threshold Amount”), at which time Indemnitor shall be entitled to recover all amounts in excess of the Equipment Threshold Amount and (II) any Equipment Claims by Indemnitor up to

$25,000 shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the Threshold Amount, but any amount in excess of $25,000 paid by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties shall not further reduce the Threshold Amount.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent any aggregate liabilities under Tradeout Agreements on the Closing Date exceed the value of any aggregate assets from Tradeout Agreements as of the Closing Date, the amount of such excess shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the Threshold Amount; provided, however, to the extent Buyer is entitled to a Purchase Price credit in accordance with Section 2.5(d), the amount of the reduction of the Threshold Amount shall be net of the amount of such Purchase Price credit. For avoidance of doubt and by way of clarification (i) this Section 9.6(b) shall not affect Buyer’s right to receive a credit to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.5(d) and (ii) the Threshold Amount shall at no time be increased or replenished.

(c) Except for any such Claims involving fraud or intentional misrepresentation or any inaccuracy in or breach of any representations or warranties of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties set forth in Section 4.2 (Authorization), Section 4.5 (Title), Section 4.15 (Taxes), or Section 4.25 (Environmental Compliance), the liability of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties or Buyer for Claims asserted pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(i) (as it relates to 9.1(a)) or 9.2(a) or 9.2(e) (as it relates to 9.2(a)) shall not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

ARTICLE 10

FURTHER AGREEMENTS

10.1 Event of Loss. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss prior to the Closing, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties shall take reasonable steps to repair, replace and restore damaged, destroyed or lost property to its condition prior to any such loss, damage, or destruction. In the event of any such loss, damage, or destruction, the proceeds of any claim for any loss, payable under any insurance policy with respect thereto, shall be used to repair, replace, or restore any such property to its former condition subject to the conditions stated below. In the event of any loss or damage to the Stations or any of the Purchased Assets, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties shall notify Buyer thereof in writing immediately. Such notice shall specify with particularity the loss or damage incurred, the cause thereof (if known or reasonably ascertainable), and the insurance coverage. In the event that the property is not completely repaired, replaced or restored on or before the scheduled Closing Date, Buyer at its option: (a) may elect to postpone Closing until such time as the property has been completely repaired, replaced or restored (and, if necessary, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties shall join Buyer in requesting from the FCC any extensions of time in which to consummate the Closing that may be required in order to complete such repairs); or (b) may elect to consummate the Closing and accept the property in its then condition, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties shall pay to Buyer all proceeds of insurance and assign to Buyer the right to any unpaid proceeds. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties shall have no responsibility to repair or replace damaged or destroyed Purchased Assets not covered by insurance if the cost of such repair exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in the aggregate; provided, however, Buyer shall have the right to accept the Purchased Assets subject to such Event of Loss and receive a Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) credit against the Purchase Price plus all proceeds of insurance and an assignment by Seller to Buyer of the right to any unpaid proceeds; provided further, however, that should the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties not advise Buyer within five (5) days after being requested to do so that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇

Parties will repair or replace such Purchased Assets, Buyer may terminate this Agreement without penalty upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties, and upon such termination Buyer shall be entitled to have the Escrow Deposit, together with all accrued interest, returned to it on or on the business day following such termination.

10.2 Station Employees.

(a) Buyer specifically reserves to itself the right to employ or not employ any and all current employees of Seller at Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a commitment or obligation of Buyer to offer employment to, accept for employment, or otherwise continue the employment of, any of Seller’s employees, or to continue the terms and conditions of employment previously enjoyed by Seller’s employees.

(b) To the extent any of the Stations’ employees accept employment with Buyer (collectively, the “Transferred Employees”), such Transferred Employees will be included in Buyer’s then-existing employee welfare benefit plans (if any) and will be subject to Buyer’s then-existing employment policies, as generally applicable to Buyer’s employees.

(c) Nothing herein shall restrict Buyer’s ability to change or terminate the benefits or benefit plans provided to Buyer’s employees (including Transferred Employees), nor shall Buyer be required to provide to any employee any of the terms and conditions of employment provided by Seller, subject, however, to the requirements of any written employment agreements of Seller which Buyer agrees to assume. This Section 10.2 shall operate exclusively for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and not for the benefit of any other Person, including, without limitation, any current, former or retired employee of Seller or Buyer.

(d) Seller agrees that it shall be solely responsible and liable for any medical, disability, severance, vacation, sick leave or other benefits owed under Seller’s benefit plans, including, without limitation, any expenses for health or dental benefits incurred but not submitted for reimbursement prior to the Closing that are covered under Seller’s benefit plans. Seller will be solely responsible for providing, at its cost, all life and other insurance coverage and benefits, and disability benefits to which any employee of Seller who retired or was terminated from service with Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or who was disabled prior to the Closing Date is entitled.

(e) Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall not assume any liability whatsoever for any compensation arrangement or bonus plan for any Transferred Employees, except to the extent liabilities in respect of any such amounts have been included in calculating the adjustments pursuant to Section 2.5.

(f) Seller agrees that it will not enter into any collective bargaining agreement that would be contractually binding on Buyer without Buyer’s prior written consent. Any such collective bargaining agreement will not be effective as to Buyer until on or after the Closing Date. Seller further agrees that, upon Buyer’s request and with the consent of the labor organization, Seller will allow Buyer or its designated representative to engage in negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement with the labor organization certified by the NLRB as the representative of a group of included employees.

10.3 WARN Act. Seller shall be responsible for compliance with applicable provisions of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, as amended (the “WARN Act”). To the extent any obligations under the WARN Act might arise as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for, and indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) against any losses caused by, arising from, incurred in connection with or relating in any way to, any obligations under the WARN Act arising as a result of any employment losses occurring prior to or on the Closing Date.

10.4 Bulk Transfer. Buyer and Seller hereby waive compliance with the bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and all similar laws. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Seller shall promptly pay and discharge when and as due all liabilities and obligations arising out of or relating to Seller’s ownership, operation and sale of the Stations. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages or causes of action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal costs and expenses) arising out of or relating to claims asserted against Buyer pursuant to the bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or any similar law.

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION; MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date, as follows:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer; or

(b) by written notice of Buyer to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties if any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement shall not have been fulfilled by the Closing Date or as otherwise provided herein (other than by reason of Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or its breach of representation or warranty); or

(c) by written notice of Buyer to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties if the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties have failed to cure a material breach of their representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days after they receive notice from Buyer of such occurrence; or

(d) by written notice of Buyer to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties if there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect; or

(e) by written notice of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties to Buyer if any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 of this Agreement shall not have been fulfilled by the Closing Date (other than by reason of a failure by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties to comply with their obligations under this Agreement or their breach of representation or warranty); or

(f) by written notice of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties to Buyer if Buyer has failed to cure a material breach of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days after it receives notice from the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties of such occurrence; or

(g) by Buyer or Seller by written notice to the other party, subject to Section 3.4, if the Closing has not occurred on or before one (1) year from the date hereof, other than by reason of the terminating party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, unless one or more of the applications to transfer the Licenses are challenged by a third party, in which case this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; provided however, this Agreement may be terminated by Buyer or Seller if the Closing has not occurred on or before the six (6) month period immediately following the expiration of the foregoing one (1) year period; or

(h) by written notice of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties to Buyer or Buyer to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 6.2(d)(III); or

(i) by Buyer in accordance with Section 10.1 (Event of Loss).

11.2 Rights on Termination; Waiver.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11.1 above, all further obligations of the parties under or pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate without further liability of either party to the other, except (i) as provided in Section 11.2(b) and (c) below, and (ii) for claims resulting from any breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 11.2(c), the Escrow Deposit, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be returned promptly to Buyer pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement upon termination of this Agreement.

(b) If Buyer is the terminating party of this Agreement and such termination is pursuant to Sections 11.1(c) or (d) above and Buyer is not in material default of its obligations under this Agreement and has not breached in any material respects its representations and warranties hereunder, then Buyer shall be entitled to pursue all legal and equitable remedies against Seller for such default or breach, including specific performance (the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties hereby acknowledge that the Purchased Assets are unique and that Buyer has no adequate remedy at law if the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties breach this Agreement), and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties agree to waive the defense in any such suit that Buyer has an adequate remedy at law and to interpose no opposition, legal or otherwise, as to the propriety of specific performance as a remedy. In the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as a result of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ breach instead of seeking specific performance (or if Buyer is denied the remedy of specific performance of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ obligations under this Agreement), Buyer shall be entitled to (i) the return of the Escrow Deposit and all interest earned thereon, and (ii) recover from the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties Buyer’s actual damages occasioned by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ breach, including without limitation, attorneys fees and costs, bank commitment fees, due diligence costs and other expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in attempting to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, the amount Buyer shall be entitled to recover pursuant to this Section 11.2(b)(ii) shall not exceed $1,600,000.

(c) If a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party is the terminating party of this Agreement and such termination is pursuant to Section 11.1(f) above and each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party is not in material default of its obligations under this Agreement and has not breached in any material respect its representations and warranties hereunder and there shall have been no Material Adverse Effect,

then the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties shall be entitled to receive as liquidated damages (i) the Escrow Deposit (including all interest or other proceeds earned thereon, less any compensation due to the Escrow Agent) and (ii) the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ actual attorneys fees in attempting to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amounts shall be substantiated by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer. Such liquidated damages shall be the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy and shall be in lieu of any other remedies at law or in equity to which the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties might otherwise be entitled due to Buyer’s wrongful failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties each acknowledges and agrees that the liquidated damage amount is reasonable in light of the anticipated harm which would be caused by Buyer’s breach of this Agreement, the difficulty of proof of loss, the inconvenience and non-feasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy, and the value of the transactions to be consummated hereunder. The parties agree that the liquidated damages provided in this Section are intended to limit the claims that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties may have against Buyer in the circumstances described herein.

11.3 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request in order more effectively to sell, assign, convey, transfer, reduce to possession and record title to any of the Purchased Assets. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties agree to cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable respects to assure to Buyer the continued title to and possession of the Purchased Assets in the condition and manner contemplated by this Agreement.

11.4 Schedules. Any disclosure with respect to a Section of this Agreement requires a specific reference in the Schedules to such Section of the Agreement to which any such disclosure applies, and no disclosure shall be deemed to apply with respect to any Section to which it does not expressly apply.

11.5 Survival. The obligations to indemnify contained in Article 9 hereof, the agreements contained herein, the representations and warranties made in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall survive any independent investigation by Buyer or Seller, and any dissolution, merger or consolidation of Buyer or Seller and shall bind the legal representatives, assigns and successors of Buyer and Seller.

11.6 Entire Agreement; Amendment; and Waivers. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein and to be delivered pursuant hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions of the parties, whether oral or written, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof, except as specifically set forth herein. No amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or breach of this Agreement, whether or not similar, unless otherwise expressly provided.

11.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each of the parties hereto shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective counsel, accountants and other experts incident to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.8 Benefit; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by Buyer and Seller and their respective proper successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by Buyer to another party without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that (a) Buyer may assign this Agreement to any entity or entities which are Affiliates of Buyer or which are direct or indirect subsidiaries of Buyer, and (b) no such assignment to such Affiliates or subsidiaries shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. With respect to any permitted assignment hereunder, the parties shall reasonably cooperate to take actions necessary to effectuate such assignment, including but not limited to cooperating in any appropriate filings with the FCC or other governmental authorities. Upon prior written notice to Seller, Buyer may make an assignment of its rights hereunder to any third party or to a voting trust solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Great Falls Waiver; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not invalidate such assignment.

11.9 Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

(a) Buyer agrees that prior to Closing, Buyer and its agents and representatives shall not use for its or their own benefit (except when required by law and except for use in connection with Buyer’s financing of the transactions contemplated by, and Buyer’s investigation of the Stations and its assets in connection with, this Agreement), and shall hold in strict confidence and not disclose: (i) any data or information relating to Seller, their affiliates or the Stations obtained from Seller or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives in connection with this Agreement; or (ii) any data and information relating to the business, customers, financial statements, conditions or operations of the Stations, in each case which is confidential in nature and not generally known to the public (clauses (i) and (ii) together, “Seller’s Information”). If the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated for any reason, Buyer shall return to Seller all data, information and any other written material (including, without limitation, material in electronic form) obtained by Buyer from Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any copies, summaries or extracts thereof, and shall refrain from disclosing any of Seller’s Information to any third party or using any of Seller’s Information for its own benefit or that of any other Person.

(b) Seller agrees that Seller and their respective agents and representatives shall not use for their own benefit (except when required by law and except for use in connection with their respective investigations and reviews of Buyer in connection with this Agreement), and shall hold in strict confidence and not disclose: (i) any data or information relating to Buyer or its affiliates obtained from Buyer, or from any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, in connection with this Agreement; or (ii) any data and information relating to the business, customers, financial statements, conditions or operations of Buyer which is confidential in nature and not generally known to the public (clauses (i) and (ii) together

“Buyer’s Information”). If the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated for any reason, Seller shall return to Buyer all data, information and any other written material (including, without limitation, material in electronic form) obtained by Seller from Buyer in connection with this transaction and any copies, summaries or extracts thereof and shall refrain from disclosing any of Buyer’s Information to any third party or using any of Buyer’s Information for its own benefit or that of any other Person.

(c) Prior to Closing, except as otherwise required by law or regulation or by the rules, regulations or policies of any national securities exchange or association, no party hereto will make any public announcement regarding the transactions described in this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties hereto, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

11.10 Exclusivity. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties will not, after the date hereof: (a) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to (i) the liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets or stock, or recapitalization of, (ii) merger or consolidation with or into, (iii) acquisition or purchase of assets of (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any equity interest in, or (iv) similar transaction or business combination, involving any Station (each, an “Alternative Transaction”), or (b) institute, pursue, or engage in any discussions, negotiations, or agreements with any Person concerning any of the foregoing, or (c) furnish any information with respect to any effort or attempt by any other Person to do any of the foregoing. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties will immediately notify Buyer of any offer received from third parties regarding an Alternative Transaction.
