ANTENNA SITE AGREEMENT
(WBLS Aux)

 

1.                                      Premises and Use. WLIB Tower LLC, an
Indiana limited liability company (“Owner”), hereby licenses to MediaCo Holding
Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Licensee”), the site described below: antenna
space on the tower (the “Tower”); ground space for placement of Pad or Shelter
(“Shelter”) for Licensee’s transmission equipment or space in the existing
equipment building; space for Licensee’s genset and related fuel tank,
equipment, and cabling; and space required for Licensee’s cable ladders, cable
runs, and cable bridges to connect telecommunications equipment and antennas, in
the location at which such equipment is currently installed as further shown on
Exhibit A, together with a non-exclusive easement for reasonable access thereto
and to the source of electric and telephone facilities, in all cases consistent
with past practices (collectively, the “Site”). The Site will be used by
Licensee for the purpose of installing, removing, replacing, modifying,
maintaining and operating, at its expense, a telecommunications service system
facility consisting of the antenna(s) and related equipment set forth on
Exhibit B (the “Equipment”). Licensee will use commercially reasonable efforts
to use the Site in a manner which will not unreasonably disturb the occupancy of
Owner; provided however, that Licensee’s equipment was installed at the Site
prior to any other existing Licensee’s or licensee’s equipment and shall be
considered “first in time” and Licensee’s right to use the Site in accordance
with past practice in all material respects shall be superior to the right to
use the Site of every other current and future user of the Site. Owner, at
Owner’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain and repair (and if necessary,
replace) the Tower, the equipment building, and all improvements thereon in good
order and repair sufficient for the operation of the Tower and the use of the
Site by Licensee consistent with past practice, and in compliance with all laws,
codes, regulations, and orders, including without limitation all FAA and FCC
rules and regulations. Owner shall maintain all required records and shall file
any required notification concerning any failure of, repairs to, and correction
of the Tower in compliance with the rules and regulations of the FAA, the FCC,
and all other applicable governmental authorities. Owner shall maintain access
to and the appearance of the Site, including the access road, weeding and
mowing, and similar.

 

2.                                      Term. The “Term” of this Agreement shall
be ten (10) years beginning on the date hereof (“Commencement Date”) and
terminating on the twentieth anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Initial
Term”). This Agreement will automatically renew for two (2) additional terms
(each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term the “Term”) of ten
(10) years each, unless Licensee provides notice to Owner of its intention not
to renew not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial
Term or any Renewal Term.

 

3.                                      License Fee. The license fee shall be
Ten Dollars ($10) per annum, payable in advance in a lump sum, the receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged by Owner.

 

4.                                      Title and Quiet Possession. Owner
represents and agrees (a) that it is in possession of the Site as fee owner;
(b) that it has the right to enter into this Agreement; (c) that the person
signing this Agreement has the authority to sign; and (e) that Licensee is
entitled to the quiet possession of the Site subject to zoning and other
requirements imposed by governmental authorities, any easements, restrictions,
or encumbrances of record throughout the Term. This Agreement shall be
subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust now of record against the Site;
but, solely with respect to any mortgage or deed of trust granted by Owner, only
if the holder of

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any mortgage or deed of trust agrees not to disturb Licensee’s peaceable
enjoyment of the Site upon any foreclosure or other proceeding by such party
pursuant to a customary subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Licensee.

 

5.                                      Assignment/Subletting. Licensee may not
assign or transfer this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
However, Licensee may assign without the Owner’s prior written consent to any
party acquiring the broadcast facilities and FCC license operated by Licensee at
the Site. In the event that Owner transfers the Site or any interest in the
Site, it shall require the transferee of the Site to assume and agree to perform
this Agreement.

 

6.                                      Access and Security. Licensee will have
unrestricted access twenty-four (24) hours a day seven (7) days a week to the
Site, the Shelter, and the Tower.

 

7.                                      Notices. All notices must be in writing

8.                                      Installation and Improvements. Owner and
Licensee acknowledge that the Equipment was previously installed at the Site and
on the Tower prior to the date hereof. Prior to installing any additional
Equipment at the Site or making any changes, modifications or alterations to
such Equipment, Licensee, at its expense, will obtain all required approvals and
will submit to Owner plans, specifications and proposed dates of the planned
installation or other activity. All installation of or other work on the
Equipment on the Tower will be at Licensee’s sole expense and performed by
contractors selected by Licensee. Upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement, Licensee shall remove its Equipment and improvements and will restore
the Site to the condition existing on the Commencement Date, except for ordinary
wear and tear; provided, however, that Owner may require Licensee to leave in
place any Equipment to the extent the removal of such Equipment would interfere
with the broadcast operations of WLIB-AM.

 

9.                                      Compliance with Laws. Owner accepts
responsibility for, and will ensure, the Tower’s and Site’s compliance with all
laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Tower or the Site, including tower
or building marking, fencing, painting, and lighting regulations promulgated by
the Federal Aviation Administration “FAA” or the Federal Communications
Commission “FCC,” as applicable. Owner represents and warrants that the Site
complies with all applicable tower or building marking or lighting regulations
promulgated by the FAA or the FCC, which Owner shall maintain in compliance with
applicable law and regulations in all material respects.

 

10.                               Insurance. Licensee will procure and maintain
a public liability policy, with limits of not less than $[***] for bodily
injury, $[***] for property damage, $[***] aggregate, with a certificate of
insurance to be furnished to Owner within [***] of request and prior to
performing any work. Should policies be cancelled before the expiration date
listed on certificates provided, Licensee agrees to provide [***] written
notification of said cancellation. Owner shall carry public liability insurance
covering the Tower and the Site. Owner shall maintain the following insurance
coverage: (i) Statutory Workers’ Compensation including $[***] Employers’
Liability; (ii) Commercial General Liability including personal injury with
limits not less than $[***] per occurrence; (iii) Automobile Liability with
limits not less than $[***] per occurrence; and (iv) Fire and extended coverage
insurance on the Tower and the Site. All policies required to be provided
pursuant to this paragraph shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of
Licensee. Owner shall provide certificates evidencing said coverage to Licensee
upon request. Owner shall provide a declaration of said policies to Licensee
upon request.

 

11.                               Interference; Licensee is First in Time.

 

(a)                                 As Licensee’s Equipment was installed on the
Tower and at the Site prior to the installation of any other existing Licensee’s
equipment, Licensee’s equipment shall be considered “first in time” and
Licensee’s right to use the Site in accordance with past practice in all
material respects shall be superior to the right to use the Site of every other
current and future user of the Site, subject, however, to the existence of
provisions in tower space agreements of other licensees on the tower as of the
date of this Agreement permitting Owner to enforce Licensee’s rights under this
sentence. Owner shall cause all future users on the Tower (and all existing
licensees on the Tower unless required otherwise by an existing licensee or
lease) not to cause, by their transmitters or other activities, including the
addition of any equipment at a future date, interference to Licensee or other
licensees at the Site or on the Tower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)                                 Owner agrees that neither Owner nor other
existing users of the Site other than Licensee as of the date hereof (unless
directly permitted by such other users’ current lease or license) shall permit
their equipment to interfere with Licensee’s transmissions or reception in
accordance with Licensee’s FCC licenses. In the event that Licensee experiences
RF interference caused by any other Licensee at the Tower, Licensee shall notify
Owner in writing of such interference (the “Interference Notice”) and Owner
shall, as soon as the applicable lease or license for such licensee permits,
cause the party causing such interference to reduce power and/or cease
operations in order to correct and eliminate such interference. In the event
Owner is notified of any interference experienced by Licensee, Owner shall cause
the entity responsible for the interference to perform (or cause to be
performed) whatever actions are commercially reasonable and necessary at no cost
or expense to Licensee to eliminate such interference within 24 hours following
receipt of notice of such interference. Owner agrees that any future licenses,
leases or other agreements with third parties for a transmission at the Tower,
or at any other portion of the Site from which transmissions may cause
interference to Licensee’s use of the Tower, will contain provisions that
similarly require such users to correct or eliminate interference with
Licensee’s operation of its Equipment within 24 hours following receipt of a
notice of such interference.

 

(c)                                  Without limiting Owner’s obligations
hereunder, Owner will require non-interference language in all future lease,
license, or similar agreements related to the Site sufficient to permit Owner to
perform its obligations hereunder, and will fully enforce such language.

 

12.                               Utilities. Landlord will supply, without
charge, all utilities used by Licensee at the Site. To the extent not already
included in Licensee’s Equipment, Licensee may bring a temporary generator or
other alternate source of power to the Site during any prolonged utility outage.

 

13.                               Termination by Licensee. Licensee may
terminate this Agreement at any time by notice to Owner without further
liability. Any such termination by Licensee shall not relieve Owner of liability
for any breach or default hereunder.

 

14.                               Default. If either party is in default under
this Agreement for a period of [***] following receipt of notice from the
non-defaulting party, then the non-defaulting party may pursue any remedies
available to it against the defaulting party under this Agreement and applicable
law, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate this Agreement.

 

15.                               Taxes. Licensee shall pay all taxes,
including, without limitation, sales, use and excise taxes, and all fees,
assessments and any other cost or expense now or hereafter imposed by any
government authority in connection with Licensee’s Equipment or Licensee’s use
of the Site. Owner shall pay all real estate taxes levied on the Site and all
taxes on the Tower and on any equipment located at the Site (other than
Licensee’s).

 

16.                               Indemnity. Owner and Licensee each indemnifies
the other against and holds the other harmless from any and all costs (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) and claims of liability or loss which
arise out of a breach or default by it of any provision of this Agreement which
remains uncured after the expiration of the applicable cure periods under this
Agreement and the use and/or occupancy of the Site by the indemnifying party.
This indemnity does not apply to any claims arising from the gross negligence or
intentional misconduct of the indemnified party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

17.                               Hazardous Substances. Licensee or Owner will
not introduce or use, or permit any other party to introduce or use, any
hazardous substance on the Site in violation of any applicable law, or permit
any discharge or release of such substance on the Site, it being understood that
Licensee may have fuel, oil, cleaning and maintenance supplies, and other
similar items stored at the Site in compliance with applicable law in connection
with any gensets or other ordinary course operations of Licensee at the Site.

 

18.                               RF Exposure; Scheduled Maintenance. Licensee
agrees to reduce power or suspend operation of its Equipment if necessary and
upon reasonable notice from Owner to prevent exposure of workers or the public
to RF radiation in excess of the then-existing regulatory standards, provided
that such reductions in power or suspension of operations shall not exceed two
(2) hours in any one calendar month period, unless a reasonable amount of
additional time is required under the circumstances, and shall be scheduled, if
at all possible, between the hours of midnight and 5am local time. Owner agrees
for itself and to direct other Licensees at the Tower to reduce power or suspend
operation of their equipment if necessary and upon reasonable notice from
Licensee to prevent exposure of workers or the public to RF radiation in excess
of the then-existing regulatory standards, provided that such reductions in
power or suspension of operations shall not exceed two (2) hours in any one
calendar month period, unless a reasonable amount of additional time is required
under the circumstances, and shall be scheduled, if at all possible, between the
hours of midnight and 5am local time. Without limiting the foregoing for RF
radiation and with respect to scheduled maintenance, Owner agrees to provide
Licensee with at least ten (10) business days’ notice for maintenance on the
Tower or surrounding property that will require Licensee to reduce power or
suspend operations of its Equipment (except with respect to the requirements set
forth above in this Section, a force majeure or other emergency). Owner agrees
that it shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to schedule such
maintenance either on weekends (for no more than 8 consecutive hours) or on
weekday evening/overnight between 8:00 p.m. local time and 5:00 a.m. local time.

 

19.                               Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement applies to
and binds the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the
parties to this Agreement; (b) this Agreement is governed by the laws of the
State in which the Site is located; (c) if requested by Licensee, Owner agrees
to promptly execute and deliver to Licensee a recordable Memorandum of this
Agreement in the form of Exhibit C; (d) this Agreement (including the Exhibits)
constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior
written and verbal agreements, representations, promises or understandings
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. Any amendments to
this Agreement must be in writing and executed by both parties; (e) if any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable with respect to any
party, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to
persons other than those as to whom it is held invalid or unenforceable, will
not be affected and each provision of this Agreement will be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (f) the prevailing party in
any action or proceeding in court or mutually agreed upon arbitration proceeding
to enforce the terms of this Agreement is entitled to receive its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other reasonable enforcement costs and expenses from the
non-prevailing party; and (g) failure or delay on the part of Licensee or Owner
to exercise any right, power, or privilege hereunder will not operate as a

waiver thereof; waiver of a breach of any provision hereof under any
circumstances will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the
provision, or of a breach of any other provision of this Agreement.
