and, in that regard, will adopt written standards, generally in accordance with industry standards for commercial television broadcast stations, in substantially the same form and substance as the attached Exhibit B, for the acceptance of

programming material and commercial announcements.

 10. Special Programs. The Owner reserves the right, in good faith, to preempt the Broker’s
programs for the Station to broadcast special programs on occasion concerning issues or events of local, regional or national importance in the event that the Broker does not broadcast the same on its own initiative or in the event that the Owner
reasonably determines in good faith that the amount of the Broker’s coverage of such issues or events is inadequate; provided that in all such cases the Owner will use its best efforts to give the Broker reasonable notice of the Owner’s
intention to preempt programs scheduled by the Broker. 
  
 11.
Station Identification. The Owner will be responsible for the proper broadcast of FCC-required station identification announcements on the Station. The Broker, while conducting its activities with regard to the Station pursuant to this

interruptions contemplated by Section 12(b) and events described in Section 16. Any routine or non-emergency maintenance work affecting operation of the Station at full power will be scheduled with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to the
Broker, and, to the extent possible, will not take place during a rating period; and, to the extent possible, the Owner will cause such maintenance work to be performed between the hours of 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM, local time.

or damage of any nature to its transmission or studio facilities which results in the interruption of service or the inability of the Station to operate with its maximum authorized facilities, Broker may undertake such repairs as are necessary to
restore full-time operation of the Station with its maximum authorized facilities at its own expense; provided that if the Purchase Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Owner will promptly reimburse the Broker for all such expenses
incurred by the Broker.

advertising limits in children’s programs pursuant to Section 73.3526(e)(11)(ii) of the FCC’s rules. Such draft advertising certification will be in the form of the attached Exhibit C. In completing each such draft quarterly certificate,
the Broker will list the titles of all children’s programs carried on the Station in the past quarter in which the advertising limits apply, both local and network, all program segments during which the allowed commercial limits were exceeded,
and a separate memo explaining why any excesses occurred. In carrying out its obligations with respect to children’s programming, the Broker will further maintain records with respect to commercial matter in children’s programming either
in the form of logs of programs reflecting the commercial time, tapes of the programs, lists of commercial minutes aired in identified children’s programs, or appropriate certificates from networks and syndicators with respect to compliance
with the FCC’s requirements on commercial limits. Broker shall make such items available to Owner upon request. 
  
 (b) Issues Programs Lists. Broker and Owner mutually acknowledge their interest in ensuring that the Station serves the needs and interests of its
community of license. Owner shall, on a regular basis, assess the issues of concern to residents of San Angelo, Texas and the surrounding area and provide such information to Broker. Broker, in cooperation with Owner, will endeavor to ensure that
programming responsive to the needs and interests of the community of license and surrounding area is broadcast, in compliance with FCC requirements. 

  

 7

such reports to Owner and, following review and approval of the same by Owner, Owner shall place issues program reports in the Station’s public inspection file as required by FCC rules. Further, Owner may request, and Broker shall provide,
information concerning such of Broker’s programs as are responsive to community issues so as to assist Owner in the satisfaction if its public service programming obligations. Broker shall also provide Owner upon request such other information
necessary to enable Owner to prepare records and reports required by the Commission or other local, state or federal government entities. 
  
 15. Responsibility For Compliance with FCC Technical Rules. The Broker will employ a Chief Engineer who will be responsible for maintaining the
Station’s transmission facilities. The Owner will employ a Chief Operator, as that term is defined by the rules and published policies of the FCC (who may also hold the position of Chief Engineer if not so employed by Buyer), who will be
responsible for ensuring compliance by the Station with the technical operating and reporting requirements established by the FCC. 
  
 16. Force Majeure. Each party will carry standard property and casualty insurance for the property and equipment it owns. The Owner’s
policy(ies) for such coverage will have an aggregate policy limit that is not less than the aggregate limit of the policy(ies) normally maintained by the Owner for such property and equipment prior to the date hereof. 
  
 17. Trade Secrets and Proprietary Information. In the event that: (a)
any trade secrets or other proprietary information of the Broker in connection with this Agreement becomes known to the Owner, and (b) such trade secrets and/or proprietary information are not otherwise available in the public domain or known
publicly, the Owner agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such trade secrets and/or proprietary information and not to use or disclose any such trade secrets and/or proprietary information without the prior written consent of the Broker (except
as required by law, rule or regulation, or by order of any government agency or court). In the event that: (i) any trade secrets or other proprietary information of the Owner in connection with this Agreement become known to the Broker, and (ii)
such trade secrets and/or proprietary information are not otherwise available in the public domain or known publicly, prior to the Closing the Broker agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such trade secrets and/or proprietary information and not
to use or disclose any such trade secrets and/or proprietary information without the prior written consent of the Owner (except as required by law, rule or regulation, or by order of any government agency or court). The provisions of this Section 17
will survive any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 18. Payola
and Conflicts of Interest. Each of the Broker and the Owner agrees not to, and to use reasonable efforts to cause its employees who have the ability to cause the broadcast of programs and/or commercial matter on the Station not to, accept any
consideration, compensation or gift or gratuity of any kind whatsoever, regardless of its value or form, including a commission, discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor (collectively, “Consideration”),
whether or not pursuant to written contracts or agreements between the Broker, the Owner and merchants or advertisers, in consideration for the broadcast of any matter on the Station unless the payor is identified, in the broadcast for which
Consideration was provided, as having paid for or furnished such Consideration, in accordance 

  

 8 








 
with Sections 317 and 507 of the Communications Act [47 U.S.C. §§ 317 and 508] and the FCC’s rules and published policies. The Broker agrees
to execute, and, as a condition of each such employee’s employment, to cause each of the Broker’s employees to execute, at least once every calendar year, a payola/conflict of interest affidavit in the form of the attached Exhibit D, and

 19. The Broker’s Compliance with Law. The Broker agrees that, throughout the Term, the Broker will comply with all laws, rules, regulations
and policies applicable to the functions performed by it in connection with the Station, including meeting equal employment opportunity requirements with respect to the Broker’s employees performing duties in connection with the Station.

  
 20. Indemnification. 
  
 (a) The Broker’s Indemnification of the Owner. The Broker will
indemnify and hold the Owner and the Owner’s employees, agents and contractors harmless, including, without limitation, in respect of reasonable attorney’s fees, from and against all liability, claims, damages and causes of action
(“Losses”) arising out of or resulting from acts or omissions of the Broker involving: (i) libel and slander; (ii) infringement of trade marks, service marks or trade names; (iii) violations of law, rules, regulations, or orders (including
the FCC’s rules and published policies); (iv) invasion of rights of privacy or infringement of copyrights or other proprietary rights; (v) breaches of this Agreement; (vi) the broadcast of programming furnished by Broker; or (vii) the operation
of Broker’s business relating to the Station. The Broker’s obligation to indemnify and hold the Owner and the Owner’s employees, agents and contractors harmless against the Losses specified above will survive any termination of this
Agreement. 
  
 (b) The Owner’s Indemnification of the
Broker. The Owner will indemnify and hold the Broker and the Broker’s employees, agents and contractors harmless, including, without limitation, in respect of reasonable attorney’s fees, from and against all Losses arising out of or
resulting from acts or omissions of the Owner involving: (i) libel and slander; (ii) infringement of trademarks, service marks or trade names; (iii) violations of law, rules or regulations (including the FCC’s rules and published policies);
(iv) invasion of rights of privacy or infringement of copyrights and other proprietary rights; (v) breaches of this Agreement; (vi) the broadcast of programming furnished by the Owner; or (vii) the operation of the Owner’s business relating to
the Station. The Owner’s obligation to indemnify and hold the Broker and the Broker’s employees, agents and contractors harmless against Losses specified above will survive any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Indemnification Procedures. The procedures for making a claim for
indemnification under Section 20(a) or 20(b) and defending and settling any related third-party claim related hereto will be identical to those set forth in Section 9.5 of the Purchase Agreement as if set forth herein, mutatis mutandis.

broadcasters’ liability insurance policies covering libel, slander, invasion of privacy and the like, general liability, blanket crime, property damage, business interruption, automobile liability, and 

  

 9

neither party shall be required to get insurance specifically with respect to property it does not own), and each of the parties hereto will name the other as an additional insured under such policies to the extent that their respective interests
may appear and will provide for notice to the other party prior to cancellation thereof. Upon request, each party will provide the other with certificates evidencing such insurance, and will further provide certificates evidencing renewal thereof
prior to the expiration of such policies. 
  
 21.
Termination. 
  
 (a) Termination Upon Closing.
Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate effective upon the Closing or the earlier termination of the Purchase Agreement. 
  
 (b) Termination Upon Order of Governmental Authority. A “Governmental Termination Event” will occur if any
court or federal, state or local government authority (including the FCC) orders or takes any action which becomes effective and which requires the termination or material curtailment of the Broker’s activities with respect to the Station
pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such order or action will no longer constitute a Governmental Termination Event if such action or order is subsequently stayed or ceases to be effective. If any court or federal, state or local government
authority announces or takes any other action or proposed action which could result in a Governmental Termination Event, then either the Broker or the Owner may seek administrative or judicial relief therefrom (in which event the other of them will
cooperate with such effort in any reasonable manner requested) and consult with such agency and its staff concerning such matters and, in the event that this Agreement is not terminated, use their reasonable best efforts and negotiate in good faith
a modification to this Agreement which would obviate any such questions as to validity while preserving, to the extent possible, the intent of the parties and the economic and other benefits of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and the
portions thereof the validity of which are called into question. The Broker will cooperate and comply with any reasonable request of the Owner to assemble and provide to the FCC information relating to the Broker’s performance under this
Agreement. In the event of termination of the Broker’s activities with respect to the Station pursuant to this Agreement as a result of any Governmental Termination Event, the Owner will cooperate reasonably with the Broker to the extent
permitted to enable the Broker to fulfill advertising or other programming contracts then outstanding. If a Governmental Termination Event occurs, then the Term will continue until the date upon which the activities of the Broker and the Owner are
required to be ceased, as mandated by the agency or authority which brought about such Governmental Termination Event. 
  
 (c) Material Breach. Each party hereto shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party hereto is in material breach of this
Agreement and such breach remains uncured for at least 15 days after the terminating party has given written notice of such breach to the breaching party; provided that such right to terminate shall only be in effect during the continuation of such
breach. 
  

 10 








 (d) Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Monthly Costs shall be prorated
to the effective termination date of this Agreement. 
  
 22.
Authorizations. The Owner owns or holds all material licenses and other permits and authorizations reasonably necessary for the operation of the Station (including licenses, permits and authorizations issued by the FCC), and the Owner
(including the Owner’s affiliates, principals, employees and agents) will take no action to impair such licenses, permits and authorizations. 
  
 23. Advanced Television/High Definition Television. 
  
 (a) The parties acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, KLST-DT is operating with facilities less than those authorized in Construction Permit, FCC File
No. BPCDT-19991015ABB (the “KLST-DT CP”) but as authorized by Special Temporary Authority, FCC File No. BDSTA-20020214ADC, as extended by FCC File No. BEDSTA-20040406ACY (the “KLST-DT STA”). The KLST-DT STA expires on October 22,
2004 and Owner shall file timely extension requests with the FCC as necessary prior to the Closing. By virtue of being on the air pursuant to the KLST-DT STA, the Station is considered to have met the FCC’s deadline for completion of
construction of the KLST-DT CP and said construction permit is thereby extended until further notice by the FCC. 
  
 (b) To the extent that the Station’s digital television channel (the “DTV Channel”) is operational prior to the Closing, the Broker will
have the right to utilize the DTV Channel and the related facilities under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the use of the Station. If the FCC assesses the Owner any spectrum fees or other charges for the Broker’s use of
the DTV Channel, such FCC fees or other charges will be subject to reimbursement by Broker pursuant to the attached Exhibit A. 
  
 24. Notices. All notices, demands and requests required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement will be (a) in writing, (b)
delivered to the recipient in person or sent by commercial delivery service or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (a) deemed to have been given on the date received by the recipient (if delivered in person)

empowered representative of the other party hereto for any purpose. 
  
 32. Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable law. Subject to the provisions of Section 21(b), if any provision of this Agreement is held to
be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise affecting the remainder or such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement. 
  
 33. Legal Effect. This Agreement will
be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

 EXHIBIT A 
  
 Reimbursement of Expenses 
  
 A. For each calendar month during the Term, the Broker shall pay the Owner a monthly fee of $15,000 (the “Monthly Fee”). The Monthly Fee
with respect to the first calendar month of the Term shall be due and payable on the Commencement Date and the Monthly Fee with respect to each following calendar month during the Term shall be due and payable on the same business day on which the
Monthly Costs for the immediately preceding calendar month are due and payable as set forth below; provided that for any calendar month during which this Agreement is not in force for the entire month, the Monthly Fee shall be prorated accordingly.

  
 B. In addition to the Monthly Fee, at the conclusion of each
calendar month during the Term, the Broker will pay the Owner an amount equal to all of the Owner’s monthly costs (the “Monthly Costs”) incurred by the Owner in connection with its ownership and operation of the Station in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. The Monthly Costs shall be equal to the sum of all reasonable operating expenses for each calendar month incurred by Owner in connection with providing air time to Broker.
The Monthly Costs shall be prorated such that expenses relating to the operating of the Station before the Commencement Date shall be for the account of Seller, and expenses relating to the operation of the Station from and after the Commencement
Date shall be for the account of Buyer. After each calendar month during the Term, the Owner will submit to the Broker an invoice for the Monthly Costs incurred during such month, and the amount of such costs reflected on any such invoice to the
extent not previously advanced to the Owner will be due and payable within seven (7) Business Days after the date upon which such invoice is received. 
  
 C. Notwithstanding the anything in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Broker shall not be responsible for reimbursing the Owner
for compensation paid to employees of the Owner in excess of rates approved by the Broker.

 II. Controversial Issues. Any discussion of controversial issues or public importance shall be reasonably balanced with the presentation of contrasting
viewpoints in the course of overall programming; no attacks on the honesty, integrity, or like personal qualities of any person or group of persons shall be made during the discussion of controversial issues of public importance; and during the
course of political campaigns, programs are not to be used as a forum for editorializing about individual candidates. If such events occur, the Owner may require that responsive programming be aired.

indirectly interested without the same having been approved in advance by the Owner’s General Manager and such broadcast being announced and logged as

and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, the Owner reserves the right to reject or terminate any advertising proposed to be presented or being presented over the Station which is in conflict with the policy of the Station or which
in the reasonable judgment of the Owner or its General Manager would not serve the public interest. 
  
 XI. Programming in Which Broker has a Financial Interest. The Broker shall advise the General Manager of the Station with respect to any programming
(including commercial(s)) concerning goods or services in which the Broker has a material financial interest. Any announcements for such goods and services shall clearly identify the Broker’s financial interest.

 I. Fraudulent or Misleading Advertisement. Any advertisement matter, announcement, or claim which Broker
knows to be fraudulent, misleading, or untrue. 
  
 Owner may waive
any of the foregoing regulations in specific instances if, in its reasonable opinion, good broadcasting in the public interest will be served thereby.
