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





 

    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 & Myers LLP, 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 700, Los Angeles, California, on the tenth (10th) business day following the first
initial grant of an FCC Order for any 



2





 


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 (10th) 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 



3





 


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. Consequently, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that limited representations and warranties are
appropriate for this transaction and that except for the representations and warranties specifically identified in the Agreement, no other representations or warranties shall be made or deemed to be
made by any party hereto. 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. Seller and each Subsidiary has the power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and to carry
on its business as now conducted. 


    2.2  Authority of Seller.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate actions of Seller (none of which actions have been modified or
rescinded and all of which
actions are in full force and effect). This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement and obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 


    2.3  Capitalization.  Seller directly or indirectly owns, or will own prior to
the Initial Closing Date, all of the equity of all of the Subsidiaries. Except for the equity held directly or indirectly by Seller, no Subsidiary has issued or has outstanding any securities, capital
stock, warrants, calls or options. The shares of capital stock of the Subsidiaries and, if applicable the general partnership interests held by USASGI, will be transferred to Buyer free and clear of
all Encumbrances. 


    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. 


4





 

    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. To the knowledge of Seller, there is no imminent threat to the current cable carriage of any of the Stations. 


    2.11  No Signal Interference.  To the knowledge of Seller, the Stations do not
cause and do not receive any material interference that is in violation of applicable FCC Rules. 


    2.12  FCC Matters.  Seller or a Subsidiary is the authorized legal holder of the
FCC Licenses. 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.

ARTICLE III
  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER    
  


    Buyer makes the following representations and warranties (and no other representations or warranties): 



    3.1  Organization of Buyer.  Buyer is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the terms of this Agreement, and the transactions
contemplated hereby. 


    3.2  Authority of Buyer.  The execution, delivery and performance of this

    3.3  Funds.  Buyer has available or has access to adequate funds to consummate
the transactions contemplated herein in accordance with the terms hereof. 


    3.4  FCC Matters.  Buyer is legally, technically, financially and otherwise
qualified under the Communications Act and the FCC Rules to acquire and operate the Stations. To the knowledge of Buyer, there are no matters, facts or circumstances 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 Buyer or which could reasonably be expected to disqualify Buyer under the Communications Act
or otherwise from acquiring or operating the Stations. Except for the waiver described in Schedule 2.12 to Seller's Disclosure Schedule, to the
knowledge of Buyer, 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 Buyer, nor will
processing pursuant to any exception of any FCC Rules be requested or required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. 



    3.5  Investment Representation.  Buyer is acquiring the Stock from Seller for
Buyer's own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for the sale in connection with the distribution thereof. 


 
 

ARTICLE IV
  COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO CONDUCT PRIOR TO CLOSING    
  


    4.1  Access.  Subject to applicable Laws and fiduciary and privacy obligations,
Seller shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to authorize and permit Buyer and its counsel, financial advisors, independent auditors and other authorized representatives (collectively, the  "Representatives") to have reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice and in such manner as will not unreasonably interfere
with the conduct of their respective businesses, to all of their respective officers, outside producers, properties, books (including financial and operating data), records, documents, operating
instructions and procedures, Tax Returns (solely to the portions of such Tax Returns that relate to the Stations) and all other information with respect to the Subsidiaries, the Stations and the Stock
as Buyer may from time to time request, and to permit Buyer or its Representatives to make copies of such books, records and other documents and to discuss the respective businesses of Seller and its
Subsidiaries with such other Persons, including, without limitation, their respective directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel, suppliers, customers, and creditors, as Buyer considers
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of familiarizing itself with the Business of the Subsidiaries and the Stations, obtaining any necessary Approvals of or Permits for the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and conducting an evaluation of the organization and Business of the Subsidiaries and the Stations; provided, however,
that Buyer shall not contact any employee, supplier, customer or 


6





 


creditor of Seller without the prior written consent of Seller. All information furnished hereunder shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement. 


    4.2  Third-Party Approvals.  To the extent that the Approval of any third party
with respect to any Contract is required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including Section 4.16 and  Section 4.17, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Approval prior to the Closing Date for the Subsidiary or
Subsidiaries to which such Approval relates, and if any such Approval is not obtained, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an arrangement pursuant to which Buyer
obtains the benefits of each such Contract and is responsible and liable for any burdens of each such Contract. 


    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

    (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 


    (5) sell,
transfer, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of any assets or any liabilities, except (i) for dispositions of property not material in amount, or
(ii) in the ordinary course of business or (iii) as contemplated by this Agreement; or 


    (6) change
or amend its charter documents or bylaws, except to the extent any such change or amendment does not adversely affect Buyer;  provided that prior to each Closing, Seller shall change the name of each
Subsidiary to be transferred at such Closing to a name requested by Buyer on
at least ten (10) business days written notice, which name shall not include "USA" or "USA Broadcasting", or if no such notice is given, to any name chosen by Seller; or 



    (7) agree

    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

(b) any failure of Seller to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be

Form or communications regarding the same. 


    (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. If such impediments remain after such efforts, Buyer shall take such action as is necessary, including, but not limited to,
placing the subject assets into a trust or assigning its rights to take title to certain Stock to a third party as provided for in  Section 9.5(b), in order for such regulatory impediment to be

    (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

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,

10





 



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." At the Closing of the transfer of each O&O Subsidiary, the non-programming liabilities of the Stations owned by such O&O Subsidiary shall be current and
the programming assets of such Stations shall be current or, in the alternative, the programming assets of such Stations shall equal or exceed the programming liabilities of such Stations, as
determined in accordance with GAAP. At the Initial Closing the liabilities of the SW Subsidiary and the MI Subsidiaries shall be current. 


    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 


11





 


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 (10th) 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. At the Initial Closing Date, the assets, rights, liabilities or obligations of each MI
Subsidiary shall include only (i) the capital stock representing such MI Subsidiary's interest in the Minority Owned Entities and (ii) the rights and obligations of such MI Subsidiary
under all agreements among such MI Subsidiary on the one hand and the Minority Owned Entity and/or any other shareholder of such Minority Owned Entity on the other hand, except in all cases, the Urban
Judgment. 


    4.18  Cooperation; Professional Teams.  



    (a) Buyer
and Seller will cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts in (i) preparing any related agreements and other documentation reasonably
required in connection with the consummation of transactions contemplated herein, (ii) terminating, substituting, or otherwise releasing all guaranties or other obligations made by Seller
and/or its Affiliates which are made solely for the benefit of the Subsidiaries, the Stations and/or Station Works, and (iii) complying with all regulatory requirements. 


    (b) In
connection with the existing contractual and business relationships between Seller and certain Affiliates of Seller and various professional sports teams
(collectively, the "Teams") which currently have games broadcast on the Stations pursuant to various agreements set forth on  Schedule 2.4, Buyer and
Seller agree to cooperate, negotiate in good faith and take or cause to be taken such commercially
reasonable actions as may be reasonably requested by either party to effect a reasonable and orderly transition of the relationship with the Teams with respect to the relevant Stations. 




    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 


12






 


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. 


 
 

ARTICLE V
  ADDITIONAL CONTINUING COVENANTS    
  


    5.1  Station Works Facility.  If subsequent to the Initial Closing, Seller
requests the services of the Station Works facilities to distribute programming content to, and/or to monitor the programming of, any Station owned by a Subsidiary that has not been transferred to
Buyer as of the Initial Closing, Buyer agrees to provide such services to any such Station until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Stock of such Subsidiary is transferred to Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement or (b) the date on which Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller no longer desires such services. All such services shall be provided by Buyer in a manner
consistent with the practices and services of Station Works as of the Initial Closing Date. In consideration for the services provided by Buyer to any such Station pursuant to this  Section 5.1,
Seller shall pay to Buyer a monthly fee (i) which shall be a pro rata portion of Buyer's costs and expenses incurred at the
Station Works facility based on Seller's use of such facility and the equipment and employees at such facility and to the extent that such costs and expenses are consistent in type and amount with the
costs and expenses incurred by Seller at the Station Works facility prior to the Initial Closing; (ii) which shall not include a profit and (iii) the exact terms of which shall be
mutually agreed upon by the parties prior to the Initial Closing, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 


    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 



13





 


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. Seller will be responsible for
making continuation coverage under Code Section 4980B and Sections 601-608 of ERISA ("COBRA") available to any eligible employee of
any Subsidiary and any eligible spouse or dependent of any such employee who experiences a "qualifying event," as defined in Code Section 4980B(f)(3), before the Closing Date. 




    5.3  700 Megahertz Spectrum.  If, with respect to any Station, Buyer or any
Affiliate of Buyer enters into a transaction (or series of transactions) within five (5) years after the Closing to which such Station relates, pursuant to which Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer
receives from a third party any consideration for modifying the facilities of any Station to cease digital or analog operations in the Channel 59-69 Television Band, upon consummation of
any such transaction (or series of transactions), Seller shall receive from Buyer fifty percent (50%) of the consideration received by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer from such modification of such
Station after Buyer and its Affiliates have received in the aggregate for all transactions under this Section 5.3 more than One Hundred Million
Dollars ($100,000,000). 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. 


    5.4  MSO Agreements.  Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, or any assignee, transferee
or successor of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer shall take no action, or fail to take any action that (a) constitutes a breach of or is inconsistent with the obligations of Seller under
Section 4 or Section 11 of the Cablevision Agreement or (b) results, or is reasonably likely to result, in Time Warner being obligated to carry the broadcast signal of
WHSI-TV, Smithtown prior to March 31, 2005, except in the limited circumstances expressly provided for in the provision of the Time Warner Agreement attached hereto as  Schedule 5.4. Buyer
further covenants and agrees that Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer shall require that any subsequent assignee, successor or
transferee of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer honor all of the obligations under this Section 5.4. 


    5.5  Section 1031 Exchange.  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.

if such breach shall not have been cured as of the Outside Closing Date, then Buyer shall have the right to withhold from the payment required to be made by Buyer pursuant to  Section 1.4(d), an
amount equal to the portion of such payment attributable to the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries that own the Station or Stations to
which such breach relates and Seller shall not transfer the Stock of the Subsidiary that owns such Station or Stations, and any such withheld amount shall be paid to Seller, and the withheld Stock
shall be transferred to Buyer, on the date that such breach is cured so long as such date is within such ninety (90) business day cure period (or a longer period if Buyer shall consent in
writing); provided, further, that Seller shall have no such ninety (90) business day cure period with respect to any breach by Seller of its
obligation to terminate HSN programming prior to or contemporaneously with any Closing for the Stations owned by the Subsidiaries being transferred at such Closing; or 


    (c)  Conditions to Seller's Performance Not Met.  By Seller, upon breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, in any case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) or  Section 6.3(b)
would not be satisfied as a result of such breach; provided, that such breach has
not been cured by Buyer within ninety (90) business days after Buyer receives written notice of such breach from Seller; provided, further, that
Buyer shall have no such ninety (90) business day cure period with respect to any breach by Buyer of its obligation to pay the amounts set forth in  Section 1.4(d) or to otherwise pay the
Purchase Price (or any portion thereof) when due hereunder. 




    7.2  Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to  Section 7.1, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate and there shall be no liability of any party to another except
with respect to any willful breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations of the parties contained in  Section 9.9 (Confidentiality)
 and Section 9.13 (Expenses) shall survive any such
termination. 


 
 

ARTICLE VIII
  INDEMNIFICATION    
  


    8.1  Indemnification Obligations of Seller.  



    (a)  Obligations.  From and after each Closing Date, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer
from and against any and all Losses incurred by Buyer, any Subsidiary that has been transferred to Buyer on or prior to such Closing Date or any direct or indirect subsidiaries of such Subsidiary,
resulting from: 



    (1) any
misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein with respect to the Subsidiaries or the underlying assets of the
Subsidiaries that are transferred to Buyer on such Closing Date; and 




16





 



    (2) any breach by Seller of any covenants of Seller contained herein with respect to the Subsidiaries or the underlying assets of the Subsidiaries that are transferred
to Buyer on such Closing Date; and 




    (b)  Limitation on Indemnification.  Except as provided in  Section 8.3, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer in respect of any claims for
indemnification under  Section 8.1(a)(1) except to the extent that the aggregate amount of losses of Buyer for all such claims exceeds Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000) (the "Basket"), and then only to the extent of the excess over the Basket. The maximum aggregate liability of Seller to Buyer and any third
parties for any and all claims for losses under Section 8.1(a)(1) shall not exceed an amount equal to Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000)
(the "Cap"). 


    (c)  Exclusive Remedy.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and except
as provided in Section 8.3, (i) the indemnification provisions set forth herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Buyer
for any breach by Seller of this Agreement, and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller under Section 8.1(a)(1) shall not exceed
the Cap, regardless of whether the Buyer seeks indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or tort. 


    (d)  Survival.  Except as provided in Section 8.3(b), no claim for indemnification may be made
hereunder by Buyer with respect to any Subsidiary or Stock (or liabilities related to such Subsidiary or Stock) at any time after the date which is fifteen (15) months after the date of the
Closing with respect to such Subsidiary or Stock (and related liabilities); provided, however, any covenants which by their terms are to be performed
after the Closing Date shall survive indefinitely, provided, further, that if a claim or notice is given under this  Article VIII with respect to any
representation, warranty or covenant prior to the applicable expiration date, such representation, warranty or
covenant shall continue until such claim is finally resolved. 




    8.2  Indemnification Obligations of Buyer.  



    (a) From
and after each Closing Date, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any Losses of Seller or any Affiliates of Seller, directly or
indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from: 



    (1) any
misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained herein; or 


    (2) any
breach by Buyer of any covenants of Buyer contained herein (including the covenants set forth in  Section 5.4). 




    (b)  Limitation on Indemnification.  Buyer shall not be liable to Seller in respect of any claims for
indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(1) except to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses of Seller for all such claims exceeds the
Basket, and then only to the extent of the excess over the Basket. The maximum aggregate liability of Buyer to Seller and any third parties for any and all claims for losses under  Section 8.2(a)(1)
shall not exceed the Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Cap and Basket shall not apply, or be
deemed to apply, to the obligations of Buyer to make payments of the Purchase Price or payments under Section 1.4(d). 


    (c)  Survival.  No claim for indemnification may be made under  Article VIII by Seller at any time after such date which is fifteen (15)
 months after the date of the last Closing;  provided, however, any covenants which by their terms are to be performed after the Closing Date shall survive indefinitely,  provided, further, that if a claim or notice is given under this Article VIII with respect to any
representation, warranty or covenant prior to the applicable expiration date, such representation, warranty or agreement shall continue until such claim is finally resolved. 



17





 

    8.3  Certain Tax Matters.  



    (a)  Section 338(h)(10) Elections.  Seller and Buyer or its nominee(s) will timely file
(and Seller shall cause its subsidiaries to timely file with respect to the Subsidiaries) joint and irrevocable elections pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable
elections under applicable state or local tax laws) (the "338(h)(10) Elections") with respect to the direct and indirect acquisition of the Stock
of the Subsidiaries. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate fully in order to make the 338(h)(10) Elections valid, including, but not limited to, the timely preparation and filing of
Form 8023 and any required
attachments thereto. The allocations described in Exhibit B shall be used by Buyer and Seller for purposes of allocating the "aggregate deemed
sale price," as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-4T. 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 



18





 


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 



19





 


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. 


 
 

ARTICLE IX
  GENERAL    
  


    9.1  Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement and any Schedule or
Exhibit attached hereto may be amended only by agreement in writing of all parties. No waiver of any provision nor consent to any exception to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by the party to be bound and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so provided. 


20





 

    9.2  Schedules; Exhibits; Integration.  Each Schedule and
Exhibit delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall constitute a part of this Agreement, although Schedules need not be attached to each copy of this
Agreement. This Agreement, together with such Schedules and
Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith,
including, but not limited to, the Letter Agreement dated December 6, 2000, between Buyer and Seller, as amended. 


    9.3  Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  As used in this Agreement, the term
"commercially reasonable efforts" shall not mean efforts that require the performing party to do any act that is unreasonable under the circumstances, to make any capital contribution or to expend any
funds other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in satisfying its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to the fees, expenses and disbursements of its
accountants, actuaries, counsel and other professionals. 


    9.4  Governing Law.  This Agreement, the legal relations between the parties and
any Action, whether contractual or non-contractual, instituted by any party with respect to matters arising under or growing out of or in connection with or in respect of this Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof (other than Section 5-1401
of the New York General Obligations law), except to the extent that certain matters are preempted by federal law or are governed as a matter of controlling law by the law of the jurisdiction of
organization of the respective parties. 


    9.5  Assignment.  



    (a) No
party hereto shall assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party
hereto; provided, however, upon written notice to Seller, Buyer may assign all or any portion of Buyer's rights and obligations under this Agreement to
one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Buyer (each an "Affiliated Assignee"); provided,
further, that (i) Buyer reasonably believes that such assignment to an Affiliated Assignee would not lead to a material delay in the processing by the FCC of the
applications for the transactions contemplated herein or the receipt of the FCC Order, (ii) notwithstanding such assumption, Buyer shall not be released from any liabilities or obligations
hereunder; and (iii) Buyer and any such Affiliated Assignee shall be jointly and severally liable for the liabilities or obligations of Buyer hereunder. 


    (b) If
at any time the Buyer reasonably believes in good faith that the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 will
not be satisfied on or prior to January 10, 2002, Buyer shall provide notice to Seller to such effect. 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. 



21





 

    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. 



22







  




    (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.  Each party agrees to cause its subsidiaries
to comply with any obligations hereunder relating to such subsidiaries and to cause its subsidiaries to take any other action which may be necessary or reasonably requested by the other party in order
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

investment bankers, accountants and counsel. Any such expenses of any Subsidiary incurred prior to the Closing shall be paid by Seller and any such expenses of any Subsidiary incurred after such

conveyance, excise, recording, license and other similar Taxes and fees ("Transfer Taxes") applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the sale by
Seller and the purchase by Buyer of the Stock whether now in effect or hereinafter adopted and regardless of which party such Transfer Tax is imposed upon; (b) any FCC filing fees incurred in

    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 


24





 


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
