calendar month which are prior to the Adjustment Time and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such calendar month, and (B) Buyer will be allocated the remaining portion of such Program Payments. 
  
 (c) To the extent not inconsistent with the express
provisions of this Agreement, the allocations made pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and (b) above shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

described in Section 2.4(e) below, shall increase or decrease the Purchase Price, with a brief explanation thereof. Such list shall show the net amount of the increase or decrease to the Purchase Price (the “Adjustment Amount”). If the

payment of the Adjustment Amount shall be made not later than fifteen (15) business days following the delivery of the Adjustment List. 
  
 (e) The items set forth on the Adjustment List and the calculation of the Adjustment Amount shall each reflect the understanding that the
Purchase Price shall be: 
  
 (i) decreased
by the amount, if any, by which Tradeout Payables as of the Adjustment Time exceed Tradeout Receivables as of the Adjustment Time by more than $10,000; and 
  
 (ii) decreased by the amount of all liabilities under Financing Leases, if any, existing as of the Adjustment Time. 
  
 (f) Not later than fifteen (15) business days following the
delivery of the Adjustment List, Seller may furnish Buyer with written notification of any dispute concerning any items shown thereon or omitted therefrom together with a detailed explanation in support of Seller’s position in respect thereof.
If Seller does not furnish Buyer such a written notification during such fifteen (15) business day period, then Buyer’s determination of the Adjustment 

  

 -11- 








 
Amount (as set forth in the Adjustment List) will be final and binding on Buyer and Seller as of the last day of such fifteen (15) business day period. If
Seller does furnish Buyer such a written notification during such fifteen (15) business day period, then Buyer and Seller shall consult to resolve any such dispute for a period of fifteen (15) business days following the notification thereof. In the
event of any such dispute, that portion of the Adjustment Amount that is not in dispute shall be paid to the party entitled to receive the same on the day for payment provided in Section 2.4(d). If such fifteen (15) business day consultation period
expires and the dispute has not been resolved, the matter shall be referred to an independent “Big Five” public accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer (the “Accountants”), which shall resolve the dispute and
shall render its decision (together with a brief explanation of the basis therefor) to Buyer and Seller not later than twenty (20) business days following submission of the dispute to it; provided, however, if Buyer and Seller is
unable to mutually agree upon an independent public accounting firm, then Buyer and Seller shall each choose an independent public accounting firm and those firms shall appoint a third independent public accounting firm to act as the Accountants.
The Accountants’ determination of the disputed portion of the Adjustment Amount (the “Disputed Amount”) will become final and binding on Buyer and Seller on the business day after the date upon which a written report setting forth
such determination is delivered to Seller and Buyer. The Disputed Amount shall be paid by the party required to pay the same within five (5) business days after the delivery of a copy of such decision to Seller and Buyer. The fees and expenses of
the Accountants shall be shared equally by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer on the other hand. 
  
 (g) The Adjustment List to the extent not disputed within the specified period by Seller, any mutually agreed written settlement of any
such dispute concerning the Adjustment List and any determination of disputed items by the Accountants shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto absent manifest error. 
  
 2.5 Taxes. All federal, state, local and other transfer, sales and use taxes and recording costs applicable to,
imposed upon or arising out of the transfer to Buyer of the Purchased Assets as contemplated by this Agreement shall be shared equally by Buyer on the one hand, and Seller on the other. Notwithstanding anything else herein, (a) Seller shall pay and
be solely responsible for the Texas State franchise tax due in May of 2004 assessed with respect to the operations of the Station in 2003, and (b) Seller and Buyer shall pay and be responsible for their pro rata portion (5/12 shall be paid by Seller
and 7/12 shall be paid by Buyer) of the Texas State franchise tax due in May of 2005 assessed with respect to the operations of the Station in 2004.

 (b) Within twenty (20) days following the last day of the Collection Period, Buyer will deliver to Seller all records of uncollected

will promptly deliver to the other a true copy of any notice of a dispute as to the validity or enforceability of a Pre-TBA Receivable received from an account debtor. Buyer shall not agree to any settlement, discount or reduction of any Pre-TBA
Receivable without the prior written consent of Seller. Buyer’s collection obligation under this Section 2.9 shall not include any obligation to bring suit, engage a collection agent or take any legal action for the collection of any Pre-TBA

properly and timely filed. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, no cable television system or satellite service provider has notified Seller of any signal quality deficiency or copyright indemnity or other prerequisite to cable or satellite
carriage of the Station’s signal, and no cable television system or satellite service provider has notified Seller that it has declined or threatened to decline such carriage or failed to respond to a request for carriage or sought any form of
relief from carriage from the FCC. 
  
 4.17 Insurance.
Seller has such amounts and types of insurance coverage as is reasonable and customary for a broadcast television station such as the Station. Seller is not in default with respect to any of its insurance policies, nor has Seller failed to give any
notice or present any claim under any policies in a due and timely fashion.

benefit plan,” as such term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA; or (ii) any “employee welfare benefit plan,” as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.20, all employee benefit plans
maintained by Seller or to which Seller is obligated to contribute (“Employee Benefit Plans”) are, and have in the past been, in all material respects maintained, funded and administered in compliance with ERISA, the Code, and other
applicable law. As to each Employee Benefit Plan for which an annual report, including schedules, or comparable report is required to be filed under ERISA or the Code, no liabilities, with respect to such plan, existed on the dates of such annual
report except as disclosed therein and, except as disclosed in Schedule 4.20, no material adverse change has occurred with respect to the financial data covered by such annual report since the date thereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule
4.20, the execution of this Agreement and performance of the transactions contemplated hereby will not in and of itself constitute a triggering event under any Employee Benefit Plan that will result in any payment (whether of severance pay or
otherwise) becoming due from Seller. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is an employee pension benefit plan, if any, has received a determination letter stating that it is tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and to the Knowledge of Seller,
no event has occurred that could result in a disqualification of such plan. Seller has never maintained a pension plan subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA, and has never maintained, contributed to or been required to contribute
to any employee benefit plan that is a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37)(A) or (D) of ERISA) as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Acts of

Real Property, or (iii) asserts or alleges that Seller is required to pay all or a portion of the cost of any past, present or future cleanup, removal or remedial or other response action which arises out of or is related to the disposal,
depositing, discharge, leaking or other release of any Hazardous Materials by Seller at any of the Real Property or any Off-Site Location; 
  
 (c) with respect to the period during which Seller owned or occupied the Real Property, and, to the Knowledge of Seller with respect to
the time before Seller owned or occupied the Real Property, no person has caused or permitted Hazardous Materials to be stored, deposited, treated, recycled or disposed of on, under or at any Real Property owned, leased, used or occupied by Seller
which would subject Seller to material liability for the cleanup, removal or some other remedial action under Environmental Laws; 
  
 (d) there are not now, nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, have there previously been, tanks or other facilities on, under, or at the Real
Property which contained any Hazardous Materials which, if known to be present in soils or ground water, would subject any owner or operator of such Real Property to material liability for cleanup, removal or some other remedial action under
Environmental Laws; 
  
 (e) to the Knowledge of
Seller, there are no conditions existing currently which would subject any owner or operator of the Real Property to material damages, penalties, injunctive relief or cleanup costs under any Environmental Laws or which require or are likely to

could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Station shall be operating in material compliance with the Communications Act, and no proceeding shall be pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened, the effect of which
would be to revoke, cancel, fail to renew, suspend or modify materially and adversely any of the Licenses. 
  
 7.9 Release of Liens. All Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on the Purchased Assets shall be released as provided in Section 6.7.

  
 If any of the conditions set forth in this Article VII have
not been satisfied prior to or at the Closing, Buyer may (without waiving any other right or remedy under this Agreement or the TBA) in its sole discretion waive any such condition (other than as set forth in Section 7.7) and elect to proceed with
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER 
  
 Each and every obligation of Seller to be performed on the Closing Date shall
be subject to the satisfaction prior to or at the Closing of the following express conditions precedent: 
  
 8.1 Compliance with Agreement. Buyer shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of its obligations under this Agreement
and the TBA which are to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing. 
  

 -29- 








 8.2 Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by Buyer in this
Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the Closing Date. 
  
 8.3 Deliveries at Closing. Buyer shall have delivered, or caused to be
delivered, to Seller the documents, each properly executed and dated as of the Closing Date, required pursuant to Section 2.3(b). Buyer shall also have made the payments described in Section 2.2. 
  
 8.4 Other Documents. Buyer shall have delivered, or caused to be
delivered, to Seller such documents and certificates of officers of Buyer and of public officials as shall be reasonably requested by Seller’s counsel to establish the existence and good standing of Buyer and the due authorization of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer. 
  
 8.5 Absence of Investigations and Proceedings. Except for governmental proceedings relating to the television broadcast industry generally, no claim, suit, action or other proceeding shall be pending or threatened before or by any
court, governmental agency, arbitrator or other entity against any party to this Agreement the effect of which would make it reasonably likely to be unlawful to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be performed prior to or
at the Closing. 
  
 8.6 Governmental Consents. The FCC
Consent shall have been issued (without any conditions materially adverse to Seller other than those generally applicable to assignors of such licenses) and shall be in full force and effect. All other material authorizations, consents or approvals
of any and all governmental regulatory authorities necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been obtained and be in full force and effect. 
  
 If any of the conditions set forth in this Article VIII have not been
satisfied, Seller may (without waiving any other right or remedy under this Agreement or the TBA) in its sole discretion waive any of such conditions (other than as set forth in Section 8.6) and elect to proceed with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 

INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in the Agreement shall
survive the Closing (regardless of any investigation or inquiry of any party and even if the damaged party knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the time of Closing) and continue in full force and effect until
the date that is six months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.21 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the one year
anniversary of the Closing Date, unless Seller fails to provide, at Seller’s expense, Buyer with a Phase I environmental report at least 30 days prior to the Closing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, which report does not disclose
any matter that would be a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.21 (without reference to any Knowledge qualifiers therein), in which case the representations and 

  

 -30- 








 
warranties contained in Section 4.21 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the five year anniversary of the Closing Date;
(ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.14 shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period expiring 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation, and (iii) the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.2 and 4.18 shall continue in full force and effect forever; provided, that any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article IX, and the
indemnity with respect thereto, shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1 if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against
whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time; in any such case such representation or warranty shall survive until any claim for indemnity related to such inaccuracy or breach is resolved. The representations and warranties in this Agreement
shall in no event be affected by any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of any party, or the knowledge of any party’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees or agents or the acceptance by any party of any
certificate or opinion hereunder. 
  
 9.2 Indemnification by
Seller. Subject to (a) the survival provisions set forth in Section 9.1 and (b) the other limitations set forth in this Article IX, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates, and their successors and assigns (collectively,
“Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and claims of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) which Buyer
Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with: 
  
 (i) any breach of the representations and warranties made by Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement, or in any instrument, certificate or
affidavit delivered by Seller at the Closing in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; 
  
 (ii) any failure by Seller to carry out, perform, or otherwise fulfill or comply with any covenant, agreement, undertaking, or obligation
under this Agreement or the TBA; 
  
 (iii) the
Retained Liabilities; 
  
 (iv) without limiting
clause (iii) above, any and all losses, liabilities or damages resulting from the litigation required to be listed on Schedule 4.13; or 
  
 (v) any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any governmental authority or other Person arising out of, or in any way related to,
any of the matters referred to in Sections 9.2(i), 9.2(ii), 9.2(iii) or 9.2(iv). 
  
 9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the survival provisions set forth in Section 9.1, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns
(individually a “Seller Indemnitee,” and collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any and all Losses, which Seller Indemnified Parties may at any time suffer or incur, or become
subject to, as a result of or in connection with: 
  
 (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any instrument, certificate or affidavit delivered by or on behalf of Buyer at the Closing in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
and 
  

 -31- 








 (ii) any failure by Buyer to carry out, perform, or otherwise fulfill or comply with any
covenant, agreement, undertaking, or obligation under this Agreement or the TBA; 
  
 (iii) the Assumed Liabilities; 
  
 (iv) the operation of the Station and the ownership of the Purchased Assets from and after the Closing (provided that the Seller
Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to claims made by Buyer under Section 9.2); or 
  
 (v) any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any governmental authority or Person arising out of, or in any way related to, any of
the matters referred to in 9.3(i) , 9.3(ii), 9.3(iii) or 9.3(iv). 
  
 9.4 Indemnification Procedures. 
  
 (a) Notice of Third Party Claim. Any party making a claim for indemnification under Sections 9.2 or 9.3 (the “Indemnified Party”) will notify the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying
Party”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it by a third party. Such notice will describe the claim, the amount thereof (to the extent
then known and quantifiable), and the basis therefor, in each case to the extent known to the Indemnified Party. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Sections 9.2 or 9.3, as
the case may be, except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party. 
  
 (b) Assumption of Defense. With respect to any third party claim which gives rise or is alleged to give rise to a claim for
indemnity under Sections 9.2 or 9.3 and which involves only the payment of money damages to such third party and which does not concern any Licenses, the Indemnifying Party, at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below), will be
entitled to control and assume responsibility for the defense of such claim and to appoint a competent and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to act as lead counsel of such defense. Prior to the Indemnifying
Party’s assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must first furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence which, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, establishes that the Indemnifying Party is and will be able to
satisfy any such liability. 
  
 (c) Limits of
Assumption of Defense. An Indemnifying Party’s rights under Section 9.4(b) will be subject to the following additional limitations: 
  
 (i) with respect to any claim the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has assumed, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to
participate in the defense of 

  

 -32- 








 
such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, and the fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be borne by the Indemnified Party
(except that the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense will be borne by the Indemnifying Party); 
  
 (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume
(or retain, as applicable) control of such defense if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against the Indemnified Party, (B) the
Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith that, in light of any actual or potential conflict of interest, it would be inappropriate for legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party, (C) the
Indemnified Party reasonably believes in good faith that an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to or
materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects (or, in the case of a claim by the Buyer, a Station’s or a Company’s reputation or business prospects), or (D) upon the Indemnifying Party failing to
vigorously prosecute or defend such claim in good faith or failing to begin such prosecution or defense in a timely manner; and 
  
 (iii) if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party will obtain the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such claim, if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim.

  
 If the Indemnifying Party has the right to, but does not,
assume control of the defense of any claim in accordance with this Section 9.4, then the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate (at its own expense) in the defense of such claim and at the Indemnifying Party’s request the Indemnified
Party will consult in a reasonable manner with the Indemnifying Party in respect of such defense. As used in this Article IX, the term “settlement” refers to any settlement, compromise, consent or similar decree, or election to permit
default judgment to be entered, in respect of any claim. 
  
 9.5 Remedies 
  
 (a) The
indemnification provisions of this Article IX are the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy of Buyer and Seller for a breach or nonperformance of any representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or in any related agreement,
document, instrument or certificate (other than (i) the rights and remedies contained in the TBA, which shall be deemed non-exclusive herewith, (ii) in the case of fraud, and (iii) rights to seek specific performance). 
  
 (b) Except with respect to Environmental Liabilities arising
from Environmental Conditions at any Off-Site Location existing as of the Closing, Buyer hereby agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy against Seller with respect to any and all Environmental Liabilities or losses arising under or related to any
Environmental Law or any Hazardous Materials, including statutory, common law or equitable claims, in connection with the operation 

  

 -33- 








 
of the Station or the Purchased Assets, shall be the indemnity for breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.21. Except with respect
to the remedy referred to in the preceding sentence and except with respect to Environmental Liabilities arising from Environmental Conditions at any Off-Site Location existing as of the Closing, Buyer waives, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, and forever releases the Seller, in connection with the operation of the Station and the Purchased Assets, for any and all Environmental Liabilities or losses arising under or related to any Environmental Law or any Hazardous
Materials, including losses arising under statutory, common law or equitable claims. 
  
 9.6 Certain Limitations of Liability. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses suffered or
incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party for a breach of the representations or warranties of Seller made under this Agreement or in any instrument, certificate or affidavit delivered by or on behalf of Seller under this Agreement (a) until such
Losses exceed an aggregate deductible of Sixty Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($63,750.00) (the “Indemnity Deductible”) (after which point the Seller shall be obligated to indemnify Buyer from and against all Losses in
excess of the Indemnity Deductible), and (b) to the extent such Losses exceed the sum of Three Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000.00); provided that such limitations shall not apply to Losses related to breaches of
representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.2, 4.5, 4.14, 4.18, 4.20 and 4.21. 
  
 9.7 Determination of Loss and Amount. In view of the limitation set forth in Section 9.6(a), for purposes of determining whether any Loss has occurred, or the amount of such Loss, the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement will be considered without regard to any materiality qualification set forth therein. 
  
 9.8 Survival. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, this Article IX shall survive
termination of this Agreement without limitation. 
  
 ARTICLE X

 FURTHER AGREEMENTS 
  
 10.1 Event of Loss. If prior to Closing the Station shall suffer an Event of Loss, at Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer all its rights under
any insurance and all proceeds of insurance (excluding business interruption proceeds for periods prior to the Closing Date) covering the property damage, destruction or loss not repaired, replaced or restored prior to Closing. 
  
 10.2 Station Employees. Immediately prior to the Adjustment Time
Seller shall terminate all of its employees except the General Manager of the Station, and Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay any and all severance obligations and earned and accrued vacation owed to such terminated employees (provided
that Buyer shall retain all obligation to provide “continuation coverage” within the meaning of Section 4980B(f) of the Code, Sections 601-609 of ERISA, and any similar local law). Buyer shall, effective as of the Adjustment Time, offer
employment to all employees of Seller except the General Manager of the Station, upon terms 

  

 -34- 








 
substantially consistent with their respective current employment with Seller, or, if applicable, pursuant to the terms and provisions of such
employees’ respective employment agreements as listed on Schedule 1.2. Any notification required by any federal, state or local law governing mass layoffs or terminations, including without limitation the federal Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act of 1988, shall be given by Seller. Compliance with all such laws shall be Sellers’ sole responsibility and liability. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against all liabilities, claims
and causes of action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees and other legal costs and expenses) arising out of the violation, or alleged violation, of any such laws, any other employment laws or otherwise arising out of any such
termination of any of the employees. 
  
 10.3 Bulk
Transfer. Buyer and Seller hereby waive compliance with the Bulk Transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and all similar laws. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Seller shall promptly pay and discharge when and as due all liabilities
and obligations arising out of or relating to Seller’s ownership and operation of the Station prior to Closing and its sale of the Station to Buyer. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages or causes of action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees and other legal costs and expenses) arising out of or relating to claims asserted against Buyer
pursuant to the Bulk Transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of Texas or any similar law. 
  
 10.4 Non-Solicitation 
  
 (a) Seller agrees that neither Seller nor its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, for a period of three (3) years from and after the
Closing Date, contact, approach or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) or actually hire any person who is employed in the operation of the
Station on the date hereof (other than those persons who are not offered employment by Buyer on or about the Adjustment Time on substantially the same terms as the terms of employment such persons have with Seller as of the date hereof), or induce
or attempt to induce any customer or other business relation of the Station to cease doing business with Buyer or the Station. 
  
 (b) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 10.4 is invalid or
unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any
invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so
modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. 
  
 10.5 Rescission of Agreement. If the Closing occurs prior to a Final Order, and prior to becoming a Final Order, the FCC Consent is reversed or otherwise set aside, and there is a final order of the FCC (or
court of competent jurisdiction) requiring the re-assignment of the Licenses to Seller, then Seller and Buyer agree that the purchase and sale of the Purchased 

  

 -35- 








 
Assets shall be rescinded. In such event, Buyer shall reconvey to Seller the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall repay to Buyer the Purchase Price and
reassume the Assumed Contracts and the Assumed Liabilities assigned and assumed by Buyer at Closing. Any such rescission shall be consummated on a mutually agreeable date within thirty (30) calendar days of such final order (or, if earlier, within
the time required by such order). In connection therewith, Buyer and Seller shall each execute such documents (including execution by Buyer of instruments of conveyance of the Purchased Assets to Seller and execution by Seller of instruments of
assumption of the Assumed Contracts and the Assumed Liabilities assigned and assumed at Closing) and make such payments (including repayment by Seller to Buyer of the Purchase Price) as are necessary to give effect to such rescission. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
 TERMINATION; MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing, as follows: 
  
 (a) by mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer; or

  
 (b) at any time on or after December 31,
2004, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not yet been consummated, 
  
 (i) by Seller, by written notice to Buyer, if each condition set forth in Article VII has been satisfied (or will be satisfied by the delivery of documents by the parties prior to the Closing) or waived in writing on
such date and Buyer has nonetheless failed to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; or 
  
 (ii) by Buyer, by written notice to Seller, if each condition set forth in Article VIII has been satisfied (or will be satisfied by the
delivery of documents by the Parties prior to the Closing) or waived in writing on such date and Seller has nonetheless failed to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; or 
  
 (c) by Buyer, if Buyer is not then in material breach of this Agreement or the TBA and Seller is then in
material breach of this Agreement or the TBA, and such breach remains uncured for fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer; or 
  
 (d) by Seller, if Seller is not then in material breach of this Agreement or the TBA and Buyer is then in material breach of this
Agreement or the TBA, and such breach remains uncured for fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Seller; or 
  
 (e) by Buyer or Seller upon termination (other than in connection with Closing) of the TBA in accordance with the terms thereof; or

  
 (f) by Buyer or Seller, by written notice to
the other, at any time after June 30, 2005, provided the party seeking to terminate this Agreement is not in material breach of this Agreement or the TBA. 
  

 -36- 








 11.2 Rights on Termination; Waiver. 
  
 (a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1(a), 11.1(e) (and neither party is in material
default under the TBA), or 11.1(f), all further obligations of the parties under or pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately terminate without further liability of any party to the other and the initial payment of One Million Seven Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000.00) made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof shall be returned promptly to Buyer. 
  
 (b) If this Agreement is terminated (or terminable in the case of clause (i) below) by Buyer pursuant to Sections 11.1(b)(ii), 11.1(c), or
pursuant to Section 11.1(e) (and Seller is in material default under the TBA), then Buyer shall be entitled to (i) pursue the legal remedy of specific performance (in lieu of terminating this Agreement), or (ii) claim and be paid by Seller as its
sole liquidated damages hereunder and under the TBA, a return of the initial payment of One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000.00) made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof, plus an amount equal to its direct and actual
damages, not to exceed the sum of One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000.00). 
  
 (c) If this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Sections 11.1(b)(i), 11.1(d), or pursuant to Section 11.1(e) (and Buyer is in
material default under the TBA), then Seller shall be entitled to claim and be paid as its sole liquidated damages hereunder and under the TBA, the sum of One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000.00), which payment shall be
satisfied by Seller retaining the initial payment described in Section 2.2(a). 
  
 (d) The parties agree that the liquidated damages provided in Sections (b) and (c) above are intended to limit the claims that a
non-defaulting party hereto may have against a defaulting party hereto in the circumstances described therein. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provided in such Sections bear a reasonable relationship to the anticipated
harm, which would be caused by a breach of this Agreement and the TBA. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the amount of actual loss caused by a breach of this Agreement is incapable and difficult of precise estimation and that there
would not be a convenient and adequate alternative to liquidated damages hereunder. 
  
 11.3 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, Seller shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such further instruments of
conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request in order more effectively to sell, assign, convey, transfer, reduce to possession and record title to Buyer to any of the Purchased Assets. Seller
agrees to cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable respects to assure to Buyer the continued title to and possession of the Purchased Assets in the condition and manner contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, Seller shall not
be required to spend additional sums of money other than incidental expenses. 
  
 11.4 Survival. The obligations to indemnify contained in Article IX hereof, the agreements contained herein and, as limited by Article IX hereof, shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any dissolution, 

  

 -37- 








 
merger or consolidation of Buyer or Seller and shall bind the legal representatives, assigns and successors of Buyer and Seller. 
  
 11.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waivers. This Agreement, the TBA and
the documents required to be delivered pursuant hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions
of the parties, whether oral or written, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof, except as specifically set forth herein. No amendment, supplement,
modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provision of this Agreement, whether or not similar, unless otherwise expressly provided. 
  
 11.6 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each of the parties shall pay the fees and expenses of its
respective counsel, accountants and other experts incident to the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement, the TBA and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 11.7 Benefit; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable
by Buyer and Seller and its respective proper successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement (and any rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder) may not be assigned or delegated in whole or in part by any party without the prior written consent
of the other party; provided, however, that Buyer may, without such consent, (a) prior to the Closing, (i) assign any or all of its rights and any claims under this Agreement to one or more of its creditors, or (ii) assign any or all
of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates, provided further, however, that in such case (x) the representations and warranties of Buyer hereunder shall be true and correct in all material aspects as applied to the
assignee, (y) both Buyer and the assignee shall execute and deliver to Seller a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Seller within its reasonable judgment in which both Buyer and the assignee agree to be jointly and severally
liable for performance of all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, and (z) Buyer and the assignee shall deliver such other documents and instruments as reasonably requested by Seller, including appropriate certified resolutions of the
boards of directors of Buyer and the assignee; and (b) after the Closing, assign any or all of its rights and any claims under this Agreement to any other Person. In the event Buyer assigns its rights hereunder pursuant to this Section 11.7, Seller
shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer and its assignee to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby with such assignee. 
  
 11.8 Confidentiality. 
  
 (a) Buyer agrees that prior to Closing, Buyer and its Affiliates, respective agents and representatives shall only use for its or their
own benefit (except when required by law, rule or regulation and except for use in connection with Buyer’s financing of the transaction and Buyer’s investigation of the Station and its assets in connection with this Agreement), and shall
hold in strict confidence and not disclose (unless required under applicable laws or pursuant to a duly issued subpoena), (i) any data or information relating to Seller, its Affiliates, or the 

  

 -38- 








 
Station obtained from Seller or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives in connection with this Agreement, or (ii) any data and
information relating to the business, customers, financial statements, conditions or operations of the Station which is confidential in nature and not generally known to the public (clauses (i) and (ii) together, “Seller’s
Information”). If the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated for any reason, Buyer shall return to Seller all data, information and any other written material obtained by Buyer from Seller in connection with this
transaction and any copies, summaries or extracts thereof, and shall refrain from disclosing any of Seller’s Information to any third party or using any of Seller’s Information for its own benefit or that of any other person, other than in
connection with the filing of tax returns applicable to the Purchased Assets. 
  
 (b) Seller agrees that Seller and its Affiliates, agents and representatives shall only use for its or their own benefit (except when required by law, rule or regulation and except for use in connection with their
investigations and review of Buyer in connection with this Agreement), and shall hold in strict confidence and not disclose (unless required under applicable laws or pursuant to a duly issued subpoena or in connection with obtaining any required
third party consents or approvals or filing any tax returns), (i) any data or information, relating to Buyer or its Affiliates obtained from Buyer, or from any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives, in connection with this
Agreement, or (ii) any data and information relating to the business, customers, financial statements, conditions or operations of the Station or the Buyer (including, without limitation, of the Station’s operations under the TBA) which is
confidential in nature and not generally known to the public (clauses (i) and (ii) together “Buyer’s Information”). If the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated for any reason, Seller shall return to Buyer
all data, information and any other written material obtained by Seller from Buyer in connection with this transaction and any copies, summaries or extracts, thereof and shall refrain from disclosing any of Buyer’s Information to any third
party or using any of Buyer’s Information for its own benefit or that of any other person other than in connection with the filing of tax returns. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 11.8 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

Headings. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in

provision, clause or part of this Agreement or the application thereof under certain circumstances is held invalid, or unenforceable, the remainder of this

Agreement, or the application of such provision, clause or part under other circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.

Judicial Interpretation. Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the parties hereto agree that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more

participated in the preparation hereof.

Sundays and Legal Holidays. If the time period by which any acts or payments required hereunder must be performed or paid expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended to the close of
