     This MASTER AGREEMENT FOR OVERNIGHT PROGRAMMING, USE OF DIGITAL CAPACITY AND PUBLIC INTEREST
PROGRAMMING (the “Agreement”) is dated as of September 10, 1999 between THE CHRISTIAN NETWORK,
INC., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, and PAXSON COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (“PCC”), all of the Persons (as defined below) which are on the date hereof or may from
time to time become Subsidiaries (as defined below) of PCC, including, without limitation, the
Subsidiaries listed on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “PCC Subsidiaries” and
collectively with PCC, “PCC”).



RECITALS




     A. PCC owns the television stations set forth on Exhibit B hereto.



     B. PCC is entering into various agreements with the National Broadcasting Company, Inc.
(“NBC”) pursuant to which NBC is making an investment in PCC. In connection with the PCC-NBC
Agreements, the parties are entering into this Agreement with the consent and approval of NBC.



     C. All parties to this Agreement, including the Licensees of the Stations, acknowledge that
CNI has substantial experience and expertise in producing high quality broadcast television
programming and public interest programming of both a commercial and non-commercial nature,
including public affairs, children’s, instructional and educational programming, for nationwide
distribution to television stations and that, since its inception as an owner and operator of
television broadcast stations seven years ago, PCC has broadcast on its stations CNI’s public
interest programming pursuant to individual station affiliation agreements and the parties to this
Agreement, including the Licensees of the Stations acknowledge that such programming is
instructional and educational and constitutes suitable programming in the public interest.



     D. The FCC imposes public interest obligations on all television stations requiring
television stations to provide programming that meets the public interest, convenience and
necessity, address community issues with responsive programming, provide three hours weekly of
children’s educational programming, and adhere to the restrictions on the airing of indecent
programming.



 









 





     E. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 provides that these public interest obligations of
television stations extend to their digital operations, and the FCC has announced that it may
adopt new public interest rules for digital television.



     F. The Advisory Committee on Public Interest Obligations of Digital Broadcasters was created
by the White House pursuant to Executive Order and has sent its Final Report to the FCC
recommending that additional public interest obligations be imposed on digital television
stations. The FCC has announced that it will initiate a proceeding to consider these
recommendations.



     G. PCC has determined that the public interest, convenience and necessity would be served by
the continued overnight broadcast of CNI Programming on the Stations which includes instructional
and educational programming. It is in the best interests of PCC to satisfy its public interest
obligations and such additional obligations as may be imposed on PCC in the digital future through
the broadcast of CNI Programming on the Stations. PCC and CNI have agreed that, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, PCC shall grant to CNI the right to broadcast CNI
Programming on the Stations in analog overnight or in digital on 0.6 MHz of spectrum.

-4-









 





Section 2(a) unless and until CNI receives Replacement Coverage. If Replacement Coverage is
provided with respect to any Station that becomes a PCC Converted Station and such Replacement
Coverage subsequently ceases as a result of such coverage at any time having materially failed to
satisfy the definition of Replacement Coverage or otherwise such PCC Converted Station shall
commence CNI Overnight Programming broadcasts effective upon the cessation of Replacement Coverage
and shall continue such CNI Overnight Programming broadcasts until CNI again receives Replacement
Coverage or CNI commences use of the CNI Digital Channel in accordance with Section 3 hereof.



          (c) Manner of Broadcast. Except to the extent Replacement Coverage (as defined in
Section 1(p)) consists of a multi-channel distribution system, each Station shall broadcast the CNI
Overnight Programming from the Station’s originating transmitter and antenna for free over-the-air
television home reception and associated carriage by cable or other multi-channel distribution
system within the Station’s DMA.



          (d) Must Carry; Retransmission Consent.



               (1) PCC or the Licensee of any Station may grant consent to the retransmission of the
Station’s signal by a cable system or other multi-channel distribution system pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6 of the 1992 Cable Act provided that such retransmission consent provides
for carriage of CNI Overnight Programming on the same terms and conditions applicable to the
Station’s primary channel at no cost to CNI.



               (2) Any Station may elect in the future mandatory carriage (“must-carry”) pursuant to Section
76.64 (or other such applicable Section) of the FCC Rules, for either its analog signal or for its
digital signals, whether on a digital tier or not, and, in such event, such Station shall make all
commercially reasonable efforts to enforce those must carry rights and shall take all necessary
steps to ensure that CNI Overnight Programming or digital programming is entitled to such
must-carry on an equal basis with the Station’s analog or primary digital channel, as applicable.



               (3) The parties acknowledge that the FCC has a pending rulemaking proceeding in CS Docket No.
98-120 regarding digital broadcast television must-carry requirements for cable television
operators. PCC will use commercially reasonable efforts to see that the CNI Overnight Programming
is entitled to non-discriminatory must-carry rights relative to the rights provided to the Station
as a result of that or any other FCC must-carry proceeding, or any statutory enactment, including,
without limitation, cable carriage or where applicable, carriage by any multi-channel distribution
system, in a manner that provides the widest possible viewer receipt of the CNI Overnight
Programming during the Digital Transition Period and carriage in both the analog and digital format
that is equal to the Station’s analog or primary digital channel, as applicable.



          (e) Digital Channel for the First Stage. During the Digital Transition Period, with
respect to the digital and analog channels allocated to each Station by the



-5-









 





FCC for use in broadcasting a digital television signal of such Station, PCC shall cause the
Station to broadcast the CNI Overnight Programming as required hereunder simultaneously over both
the analog and the digital channel. Notwithstanding the Station’s return of its analog channel at
the end of the Digital Transition Period, except as set forth in Section 3, the Station shall
continue to broadcast the CNI Overnight Programming over the Station’s digital channel, whether
that channel uses HDTV, ATV, or some other digital broadcast format; provided that, in the event
that PCC engages in multi-casting during the First Stage of this Agreement, the CNI Overnight
Programming shall be on the primary digital channel visible to the viewer. Digital broadcasts of
the CNI Overnight Programming pursuant to Section 2(a) shall continue until such time as CNI
commences use of the CNI Digital Channel (as that term is defined below in Section 3).



          (f) Licensee Discretion and Preemptions of CNI Overnight Programming. CNI recognizes
that the Licensee of each Station has full authority to control such Station under currently
applicable law. The Licensee of each Station shall have the right to reject any portion of the CNI
Overnight Programming that such Licensee reasonably believes to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or
contrary to the public interest (an “Unsuitable Program”). In the event of any such rejection, the
Licensee shall give CNI written notice of such rejection at least 7 days in advance of the
scheduled broadcast or as soon as possible. Any portion of the CNI Overnight Programming may be
deemed by the Licensee to be an Unsuitable Program only if: (i) such Licensee reasonably believes
that the telecast of such CNI Overnight Programming would violate applicable governmental laws,
rules, regulations or published policies or (ii) if in such Licensee’s reasonable judgment
preemption of such portion of the CNI Overnight Programming is required in order for the Station to
meet a programming obligation imposed by the FCC that cannot otherwise be met by the Station and
the Licensee provides a written explanation for its determination. No CNI Overnight Programming
may be deemed by the Licensee to be an Unsuitable Program based on program performance or ratings,
advertiser reactions or the availability of alternate programming which such Licensee believes to
be more profitable or attractive than such CNI Overnight Programming. If such Licensee refuses to
broadcast any Unsuitable Program, CNI shall have the right to provide substitute CNI Programming to
the Station from the previously approved CNI Programming which shall be provided to PCC at least 30
days in advance of the scheduled broadcast or as soon as possible. The Licensee may also preempt
the CNI Overnight Programming to provide the broadcast of live reports of a fast breaking news
event free of commercial announcements or any promotional announcements for the Station or its
network.



     Section 3. Use of CNI Digital Channel. During the Second Stage of this Agreement as
applicable to each Station, PCC shall make available to CNI for CNI’s use the CNI Digital Channel.
CNI shall have the right to retain all income and donations received by CNI in connection with its
use of the CNI Digital Channel of the Stations. PCC agrees that CNI’s right to use the CNI
Digital Channel is part of the essence of this Agreement.



-6-









 





          (a) Commencement of Use of CNI Digital Channel. Upon any Station engaging in
multi-casting using two multi-cast channels, from the Station’s 6 MHz television channel, PCC shall
immediately make available to CNI (the third channel) the CNI Digital Channel for such Station.



          (b) PCC Converted Station. If at any time during the Second Stage a Station becomes a
PCC Converted Station, notwithstanding such conversion, such Station shall continue to have the
carriage obligations for the CNI Digital Channel as set forth in this Agreement except to the
extent CNI has been provided with Replacement Coverage, and CNI shall continue to have the right to
provide CNI Programming.



          (c) Programming of CNI Digital Channel. CNI shall have the right to program each
Station’s CNI Digital Channel with CNI 24-hour Digital Programming. The parties hereto acknowledge
that the FCC has not yet implemented specific public interest obligations for the use of the
digital spectrum by television stations. Accordingly, the actual CNI Programs supplied by CNI for
the CNI Digital Channel of each Station will be subject to change from time to time as reasonably
decided by CNI so as to satisfy the public interest obligations (including, without limitation,
children’s programming obligations) as they may be imposed by the FCC on the use of the digital
spectrum by such Station. The parties hereto acknowledge that the CNI Programming contains
commercial and non-commercial aspects and contains programming that is educational and
instructional in nature. Subject to change in order to satisfy the FCC’s public interest
obligations (including, without limitation, children’s programming obligations), CNI has the right
to provide up to 90 minutes per week of public affairs programming on the CNI Digital Channel for
broadcast between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and Midnight; three (3) hours per week of children’s
programming for broadcast during core programming hours suitable for compliance with FCC
regulations implementing the Children’s Television Act or any successor law; and thirteen (13)
hours per week of instructional/educational programming, provided, however, that in the event that
CNI’s use of the CNI Digital Channel is preempted pursuant to Section 3(f) or (g) hereof, CNI will
have the right to not provide any public affairs and children’s programming. The programming to be
broadcast on the CNI Digital Channel shall conform in all material respects with applicable laws,
including the Act and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC. Subject to the
foregoing, CNI shall not be required to produce or deliver any news programming for broadcast on
the Stations or provide broadcast access to political candidates. CNI may use the CNI Digital
Channel of each Station for free-over-the-air video television service, data casting to the extent
that it is wholly integrated with the CNI Programming and its content is relevant to the CNI
Programming and to obtain associated carriage by cable or other multi-channel distribution system
and may not use the CNI Digital Channel of any Station for any non-video, non-data casting or
non-broadcast uses except with the prior written consent of PCC, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.



          (d) Rights of Carriage. PCC shall cause the Stations to broadcast the CNI Digital
Channel from the Stations’ originating transmitters and antennas for free over-the-air television
home reception and associated carriage by cable, multi-channel distribution system or any other
delivery system as may be developed in the future



-7-









 





within the Station’s DMA. PCC shall broadcast the CNI Digital Channel on the same basis as
the other multi-cast, multi-channel digital services of that Station and shall not discriminate in
its broadcast transmission of the CNI Digital Channel, provided that in no event shall the CNI
Digital Channel be entitled to more than 0.6 MHz. CNI shall not be obligated to drop its First
Stage overnight carriage and to commence use of the CNI Digital Channel until the number of
households in the DMA capable of receiving the CNI Digital Channel off-air or by cable carriage or
other multi-channel video programming distributor pursuant to must carry or retransmission consent
reaches twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of households in the DMA. The Station shall
be permitted to employ digital technology that allows it to use the Stations’ spectrum more
efficiently, provided that such use shall not in any way degrade the quality or the extent of
delivery to viewers of the CNI Digital Channel or any other aspect of CNI’s use of the CNI Digital
Channel.



          (e) Must Carry; Retransmission Consent. The parties acknowledge that the FCC has a
pending rulemaking proceeding in CS Docket No. 98-120 regarding digital broadcast television
must-carry requirements for cable television operators during and after the Digital Transition
Period and in a multi-cast, multi-channel environment.



               (1) PCC or the Licensee of any Station may grant consent to the retransmission of the
Station’s signal by a cable system or other multi-channel distribution system pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6 of the 1992 Cable Act, provided that PCC uses commercially reasonable
efforts to see that the retransmission consent provides for carriage of CNI 24-hour Digital
Programming on terms at least as favorable as the carriage afforded to the primary channel or any
of the multi-cast channels using the Station’s 6 MHz television channel and at no cost to CNI.



               (2) Any Station may elect in the future mandatory carriage (“must carry”) pursuant to rules
adopted by the FCC. PCC will use commercially reasonable efforts to see that the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming shall be entitled to non-discriminatory must-carry rights relative to those
secured by the Station, including, without limitation, carriage by cable or other multi-channel
distribution system in a manner that provides the widest possible viewer receipt of the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming. PCC and the Station Licensees agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
fulfill the intent of the parties with respect to must-carry rights. At a minimum, the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming shall be entitled to non-discriminatory carriage by cable or other
multi-channel distribution system relative to that afforded to the primary channel or any of the
multi-cast channels using the Station’s 6 MHz television channel, provided that in no event shall
the CNI Digital Channel be entitled to more than 0.6 MHz. The parties also acknowledge that there
is pending in Congress legislation regarding digital broadcast television must-carry requirements
for satellite multi-channel video programming providers during and after the Digital Transition
Period and in a multi-cast, multi-channel environment.



               (3) PCC or the Licensee of any Station may grant consent to the retransmission of the
Station’s signal by a satellite system or other multi-channel distribution system, provided that
the retransmission consent provides for carriage of



-8-









 





CNI 24-hour Digital Programming that is non-discriminatory relative to the carriage afforded
to the primary channel or any of the multi-cast channels using the Station’s 6 MHz television
channel and at no cost to CNI, provided that in no event shall the CNI Digital Channel be entitled
to more than 0.6 MHz.



               (4) Any licensed Station may elect mandatory carriage (“must carry”) pursuant to laws adopted
by Congress. PCC will use commercially reasonable efforts to see that the CNI 24-hour Digital
Programming shall not be discriminated in any must-carry rights selected by the Station, including,
without limitation, carriage by satellite systems in a manner that provides the widest possible
viewer receipt of the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming. PCC agrees to take all commercially
reasonable steps necessary to fulfill the intent of the parties with respect to must-carry rights.
At a minimum, the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming shall be entitled to the most favorable carriage
afforded to the primary channel or any of the multi-cast channels using the Station’s 6 MHz
television channel, provided that in no event shall the CNI Digital Signal be entitled to more than
0.6 MHz.



          (f) Licensee Discretion and CNI Digital Channel Preemption. CNI recognizes that the
Licensee of each Station has full authority to control such Station under currently applicable law.
PCC agrees that, should the law or FCC rules, policies or interpretations change to permit users
of digital broadcast spectrum to control directly their own use of the spectrum, this subsection
shall no longer apply. Until such change, however, the following provisions shall apply to the
minimum extent required by the FCC (if at all), the parties intending that CNI would have absolute
control of the CNI Digital Channel under this Agreement if and to the extent permitted by law. The
Licensee of each Station shall have the right to reject any portion of the CNI 24-hour Digital
Programming to be broadcast on such Station which such Licensee reasonably believes to be an
Unsuitable Program. In the event of any such rejection by a Licensee, the Licensee shall give CNI
written notice of such rejection at least 7 days in advance of the scheduled broadcast or as soon
as possible. Any portion of the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming may be deemed by the Licensee to
be an Unsuitable Program only if: (i) such Licensee reasonably believes that the telecast of such
CNI Programming from the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming would violate applicable governmental
laws, rules, regulations or published policies or (ii) if in such Licensee’s reasonable judgment
preemption of such CNI Programming from the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming is required in order
for the Station to meet the public interest programming obligations imposed by the FCC that cannot
otherwise be met by the Station and the Licensee provides a written explanation for its
determination. No CNI 24-hour Digital Programming may be deemed by Licensee to be an Unsuitable
Program based on program performance or ratings, advertiser reactions or the availability of
alternate programming which such Licensee believes to be more profitable or attractive than such
CNI 24-hour Digital Programming. If such Licensee refuses to broadcast any Unsuitable Program, CNI
shall have the right to provide substitute CNI Programming to the Station from the previously
approved CNI Programming. The Licensee may also preempt the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming to
provide the broadcast of live reports of a fast breaking news event free of commercial
announcements or any promotional announcements for the Station or its network.

          (g) HDTV Preemption Rights. On a PCC Converted Station, CNI’s use of the CNI Digital
Channel may be preempted only in the following circumstance: (i) use of the CNI Digital Channel is
required for HDTV broadcasts and there is no other technologically feasible means (including use of
any other portions of the 6 MHz digital channel other than the CNI Digital Channel, or the use of
other equipment or technologies, such as digital compression equipment) to achieve the HDTV
broadcast without use of the CNI Digital Channel; provided, however, that PCC and Licensees agree
to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid preemption of the CNI Digital Channel for HDTV
broadcasts if it is technologically feasible at the time of any such preemption to broadcast HDTV
in the 1080i picture format with less than 6 MHz of spectrum; (ii) any preemptions of the CNI
Digital Channel for HDTV broadcasts do not exceed twelve (12) hours of each broadcast day; and
(iii) CNI receives as much notice as is commercially reasonable of any preemptions for HDTV
broadcasts.



          (h) Provision of Alternate Spectrum. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
restrict or limit the use of digital technology to permit the more efficient use of the Station’s
digital spectrum so long as such technology does not in any way degrade the quality of any CNI
Program or limit the amount of programming time on or CNI’s right to use the 0.6 MHz spectrum in
the CNI Digital Channel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, alternate spectrum may
be substituted for the CNI Digital Channel (“Alternate Spectrum”), provided that the Alternate
Spectrum is reasonably comparable in all respects, including geographic coverage and audience
reach, signal quality to viewers, channel position and free reception, and provided that, if the
Alternate Spectrum consists of a broadcast station other than a PCC Station, the Licensee of such
broadcast station agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms of the individual Station
Agreement. If the Alternate Spectrum provided by the other Station shall become unavailable or
unsuitable for longer than a period of thirty (30) consecutive days, for use by the CNI Digital
Channel as provided herein, CNI shall have the right to have the CNI Digital Channel carried on the
PCC Station as provided for in this Agreement and the individual Station Agreement reinstated.



     Section 4. Provisions Applicable to CNI Overnight Programming and CNI Digital Channel



          (a) Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of execution of this
Agreement and, except as set forth in Section 6(d) hereof, shall continue in effect for a period of
fifty years and will thereafter automatically renew for successive periods of ten years,
unless and until one of the following events occur (a) CNI or its permitted successors or
assigns cease to exist; (b) CNI commences a proceeding for voluntary or involuntary liquidation and
dissolution; (c) CNI ceases to provide family values-based programming with no excessive or
gratuitous violence, no explicit sex and no foul language in accordance with the CNI Statement of
Mission and Purpose attached hereto as Exhibit C; or (d) the FCC licenses for a majority of
the Stations are revoked.



          (b) Delivery and Distribution. CNI shall produce, acquire and deliver the CNI
Overnight Programming and the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming to each



-10-









 





Station at CNI’s expense using commercially reasonable and industry accepted delivery methods.
CNI will provide the CNI Programming to the PAX TV network master control or other
master control location specified by PCC, at CNI’s expense, in order to permit the inclusion of the
CNI Programming in the network feed for delivery to the Stations. For any Station that does not
receive a PAX TV or other network feed, CNI shall provide the CNI Programming to such
Station via CNI satellite delivery or other industry accepted delivery method at CNI’s expense. If
the PCC network programming subsequently originates from other network facilities, the CNI
Programming shall be provided to that facility by satellite delivery or other industry accepted
delivery method at CNI’s expense. The Licensee of each Station shall install and maintain at its
expense the equipment which is necessary to receive, decode, decompress and distribute standard
analog and digital programming on the Station or on the CNI Digital Channel of such Station. The
Licensee of each Station shall within five (5) business days of filing any application with the FCC
notify CNI in writing of any proposed change in the Station’s facilities. The Licensee of each
Station shall not change the facilities of such Station in a manner that could materially adversely
affect CNI’s rights under this Agreement with respect to such Station without CNI’s consent. To
the extent that CNI prepares local public affairs programming for some or all of the Stations, such
Stations shall incorporate this programming into the CNI Programming being broadcast by the
Stations at the times selected by CNI, via tape or other insertion method.



          (c) Website Hyperlinks. While Paxson is the Single Majority Shareholder of PCC, (i)
each Station that utilizes an Internet website will provide at the Station’s expense a first screen
hyperlink to the CNI Internet website, and (ii) if a majority of the Stations are affiliated with a
television network that utilizes an Internet website, such network shall provide at the network’s
expense a first screen hyperlink to the CNI Internet website. CNI shall at its sole expense
provide the graphic material required to establish the hyperlinks described in this section. CNI’s
website shall conform in all respects to the CNI Mission Statement and Statement of Purpose.



          (d) Licensee Operation of Station. To the extent required by law, the Licensee of
each Station shall be responsible for the Station’s compliance with all applicable laws, including
the Act and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC. Nothing in this Agreement
shall abrogate the unrestricted authority of such Licensee to discharge its obligations to the
public and to comply with all applicable laws and the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC.
The Licensee of each Station shall coordinate with CNI any announcements required to be aired by
the FCC during the programming being provided by CNI. In the event that any Station preempts or
rejects any CNI Programming, as provided for in this Agreement, the Station’s substitute
programming will be inserted at its own expense in the CNI Programming via insertion at the Station
in the manner and at the times designated by CNI and in all respects acceptable to CNI. CNI shall
have the right to provide the Station with such information concerning CNI’s programming and
advertising as is necessary to assist the Station to prepare information and materials required to
be placed in the Station’s public inspection file or filed with the FCC, including without
limitation, the Station’s quarterly issues and program lists; information concerning the broadcast
of children’s educational and informational programming; and documentation of compliance with
commercial



-11-









 





limits applicable to certain children’s television programming and political broadcast
material to the extent CNI is required to broadcast political programming or advertisements by
applicable law. CNI’s rights hereunder will be exercised in a manner to assist in the Station’s
compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC. If a
Station reasonably determines that the CNI Programming does not comply with FCC requirements
relating to children’s or public affairs programming, then the Station may, at its sole expense,
provide substitute programming via insertion at the Station for placement within the CNI
Programming at such times as CNI determines is appropriate provided that such programming complies
with CNI’s family values-based programming with no excessive or gratuitous violence, no explicit
sex and no foul language.



          (e) Children’s Television Advertising. Subject to changes in applicable laws, rules,
regulations and published policies of the FCC, CNI agrees that it will not broadcast on any Station
advertising within programs originally designed for children aged 12 years and under in excess of
the amounts permitted under applicable FCC rules, and will take all steps necessary to pre-screen
children’s educational and institutional programming broadcast during the hours it is providing
such programming, to establish that advertising is not being broadcast in excess of the applicable
or any future FCC rules.



          (f) Payola. CNI agrees that it will not accept any consideration, compensation, gift
or gratuity of any kind whatsoever, regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to,
a commission, discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively “Consideration”), whether or not pursuant to written contracts or agreements between
CNI and merchants or advertisers, unless the payer is identified in the program for which
Consideration was provided as having paid or furnished such Consideration, in accordance with
applicable laws and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC.



          (g) Cooperation on Programming. CNI and the Licensee of each Station mutually
acknowledge their interest in ensuring that such Station serves the needs and interests of viewers
in the service area of the Station and agree to cooperate to provide such service. The Station may
request, and CNI shall have the right to provide, information to the Station concerning CNI’s
programs as are responsive to community issues so as to assist the Station in the satisfaction of
its public service programming obligations. CNI may also provide the Station with information
necessary to enable the Station to prepare programming-related records and reports required by the
FCC. Upon CNI’s request, the Station shall provide CNI with notarized quarterly reports in a form
reasonably acceptable to CNI on the Station’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement
including, but not limited to, its carriage of the CNI Programming.



          (h) Unauthorized Copying. PCC and the individual Licensees shall not, and shall not
authorize others to, record, copy or duplicate any programming and other material furnished by CNI
hereunder, in whole or in part, and shall take all reasonable



-12-









 





precautions to prevent any such recording, copying or duplicating (except for copying by
viewers for home viewing).



          (i) Programming Changes. CNI shall have the right, in its sole discretion, subject to
Section 2(f) or 3(f), as applicable, to (i) modify, cancel or replace any CNI Program, so long as
any such modified or replacement programming is similar in context in all material respects to
CNI’s existing family values-based programming with no excessive or gratuitous violence, no
explicit sex and no foul language, or (ii) change the day or time period during which any CNI
Program is scheduled to be broadcast but only within the time periods during which PCC is obligated
to air CNI Programming. Any program delivered by CNI in place of any CNI Program regularly
scheduled for broadcast by CNI shall be considered a CNI Program.



          (j) Promotion. CNI and PCC will promote the broadcast of the CNI Overnight
Programming and the CNI Digital Channel in a cooperative manner. PCC agrees to consider and, to
the extent it deems consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity, follow
guidelines established by CNI with respect to the promotion of the CNI Overnight Programming or the
CNI Digital Channel in each Station’s service area, including without limitation, on-the-air
promotion, billboards, radio, and newspapers or other printed advertisements, announcements or
promotions provided, however, that PCC is not obligated to spend any funds on any promotional
efforts for CNI or CNI Programming. While Paxson is the single majority shareholder of PCC, PCC
agrees to air two ten-second CNI promotional announcements on a run of schedule basis daily during
the First Stage only.



          (k) Programming. All rights in and to the CNI Overnight Programming or the CNI
24-hour Digital Programming not specifically granted to PCC in this Agreement are reserved to CNI
for its exclusive use. All right, title and interest in and to the CNI Overnight Programming and
the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming will remain the property of CNI, subject only to PCC’s right
and obligation to broadcast the CNI Overnight Programming and transmit the CNI 24-hour Digital
Programming in accordance with this Agreement.



          (l) Trademark License. CNI hereby licenses PCC and the Station Licensees to use
certain of its trade names, trademarks and service marks (the “CNI Marks”) in connection with the
performance of their obligations under this Agreement, subject to the following conditions. Use of
the CNI Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of CNI. PCC and the Station Licensees acknowledge
and agree that uniform and high standards of quality of use of the CNI Marks are necessary in order
to maintain the public image and widespread reputation of the CNI Marks. PCC and the Station
Licensees agree that they will not use the CNI Marks in a manner that might tend to reflect
negatively on the CNI Marks and/or CNI; it being expressly recognized by PCC and the Station
Licensees that CNI presents family values-based programming with no excessive or gratuitous
violence, no explicit sex and no foul language.



          (m) Changes in Law, FCC Rules and Policies. The parties acknowledge that governing
law may change the manner in which users of the digital



-13-









 





capacity on broadcast stations are regulated and the scope of Licensee discretion over a
station’s digital capacity. In the event that the rules, regulations or published policies of the
FCC, the provisions of the Act, or any other applicable law are changed in a manner that materially
and adversely affects this Agreement, then CNI may, at its option and in its sole discretion, (1)
terminate this Agreement without any liability whatsoever, effective upon the effective date of the
change in applicable law but that otherwise complies with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; or (2) change the CNI Overnight Programming or CNI 24-hour Digital Programming in a
manner that conforms to the policies and requirements of the change in applicable law; or (3) enter
into good faith negotiations with PCC seeking to convert CNI’s rights to the CNI Digital Channel to
an ownership interest if the parties can reach a mutually acceptable agreement, if and to the
extent permitted by governing law or (4) seek any appropriate waiver of the FCC’s rules to permit
this Agreement to continue unchanged. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, if, in the
future, the Stations’ digital broadcast spectrum becomes sublicensable, CNI shall have the right to
enter into good faith negotiations with PCC to attempt to reach a mutually acceptable agreement to
convert the CNI Digital Channel on each Station to such FCC sublicense, if and to the extent
permitted by governing law. In this Agreement and subject to the negotiations referred above, the
parties intend that CNI shall have all right, title and interest in and to the CNI Digital Channel
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable provisions of the Act, and the rules, regulations and
policies of the FCC promulgated thereunder (collectively with the Act, the “Communications Law”) as
the Communications Law may be amended or interpreted from time to time subject to CNI and PCC
negotiating a mutually acceptable agreement. If, at any time following the date of this Agreement,
the Communications Law is amended to permit CNI to acquire the CNI Digital Channel for each Station
then CNI shall have the right to enter into good faith negotiations with PCC to attempt to reach a
mutually acceptable agreement to convert the CNI Digital Channel on each Station to such FCC
sublicense, if and to the extent permitted by governing law to CNI. Upon the consummation of such
conveyance, neither PCC, CNI nor the applicable Station Licensee shall have any further obligation
hereunder except to transmit the CNI Programming. The parties hereto further acknowledge that CNI
may seek whatever rule or law changes are necessary to permit CNI to be the sublicensee or owner of
the CNI Digital Channel and that the other parties to this Agreement will not oppose or otherwise
seek to impede such rule or law change in any manner whatsoever. To the extent that revisions in
the Communications Law or changes in the technology employed by television stations occur such that
the Stations utilize a transmission or broadcast method different from the current analog or
anticipated digital methods, the parties acknowledge that it is their intent that CNI retain its
rights to broadcast the CNI Programming over the Stations to the full extent provided by this
Agreement, to the extent commercially reasonable, by amending or modifying the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, if necessary, to effectuate that intent. It is expressly understood that the
parties intend that CNI’s rights under this Agreement will not be adversely affected in the future
by law or technological changes.



          (n) Broadcast in Entirety. Subject to the preemption rights under this Agreement, PCC
agrees to cause the Stations licensed to broadcast in its entirety, without any editing, delay,
addition, alteration or deletion, the CNI Programming,



-14-









 





including the primary video and accompanying audio portions of the signal; all CNI
identification; all commercial spots and noncommercial announcements; all promotional material; all
data casting transmissions to the extent that it is wholly integrated with the CNI Programming and
its content is relevant to the CNI Programming; all copyright and trademark notices; all
sponsorship identification announcements; all credits and billings; all information in the Vertical
Blanking Interval to the extent that it is wholly integrated with the CNI Programming and its
content is relevant to the CNI Programming; any and all video anywhere within digital signal; and
any other proprietary material of any kind or nature included therein.

               (4) CNI owns the complete exhibition and broadcast rights to the CNI Programming and that
there is no contract with any other person which will in any way interfere with any broadcast
rights granted under this Agreement and the CNI Programming does not infringe upon any trademark,

the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the

delivered by PCC and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of PCC enforceable against it
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by judicial discretion in the
enforcement of equitable remedies.



               (2) There is no requirement applicable to PCC to obtain any permit, authorization, consent or
approval of, any governmental or regulatory authority or any other third party as a condition to
the consummation by PCC of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and PCC is required to
make a filing with the FCC with respect to this Agreement.

filings with the FCC or at the local, State and Federal level that CNI requests in order for CNI to
fully receive all benefits contemplated by this Agreement. Such Licensee shall diligently
prosecute such applications or other filings.

          (d) PCC’s Indemnification. PCC shall indemnify and hold harmless CNI and its
affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all
claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages, forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and description (collectively,
“Damages”) resulting from PCC’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or
obligation contained in this Agreement.



          (e) CNI’s Indemnification. CNI shall indemnify and hold harmless PCC, the Station
Licensees and their affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents from and
against any and all Damages resulting from (i) CNI’s breach of any representation, warranty,

other parties.



          (g) Indemnification. If upon presentation of a claim for indemnity hereunder, the

parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute, including where appropriate, reaching

     Section 6. Miscellaneous Provisions



          (a) Agreement Challenge. If this Agreement is challenged at the FCC or in any court
of law or equity, whether or not in connection with any Station’s License renewal, transfer or
assignment application, PCC, CNI and the Station Licensee, current or subsequent, shall defend this
Agreement and the parties’ performance thereunder either individually, or at their option, jointly,
throughout all FCC and Court proceedings. The parties hereto agree that they shall take no action
to support in any manner, such a challenge to this Agreement. If portions of this Agreement do not
receive the approval of the FCC or the Courts, or are otherwise determined to be invalid, then the
parties shall reform this Agreement as necessary to satisfy the FCC’s or the Court’s concerns to
the extent consistent with the parties’ agreements hereunder or, at CNI’s option and expense, seek
reversal of the FCC or Court decision and approval from the full FCC or the Court.



-17-









 





          (b) Confidential Review. Upon any Station’s request, CNI shall acquaint the Licensee
of such Station with the nature and type of the programming provided by CNI. The Station shall be
entitled to review at its discretion from time to time on a confidential basis any of CNI’s
programming material it may reasonably request. CNI may provide the Station with copies of all
correspondence and complaints received from the public (including any logs of telephone
complaints), and copies of all program logs and promotional materials. However, nothing in this
section shall entitle PCC or any Station to review the internal corporate or financial records of
CNI.



          (c) Station Agreements with Respect to CNI Programming. On the date of execution of
this Agreement, each Licensee of a Station listed on Exhibit B hereto shall enter into an
Agreement for Overnight Programming, Use of Digital Capacity and Public Interest Programming in the
form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Station Agreement”) with respect to such Station.
If PCC acquires or otherwise becomes the Licensee of any television station after the date hereof
and prior to any transfer of control of PCC, including any transfer, resulting in Paxson no longer
being PCC’s Single Majority Shareholder, the Licensee of such Station shall become a party to this
Agreement by executing the Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto and shall
enter into a Station Agreement with CNI with respect to such Station on the date on which PCC
acquires or otherwise becomes the Licensee of such Station.



          (d) Termination. In addition to the termination provisions set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated as set forth below by PCC or CNI or any licensed
Station by written notice to the other party upon the occurrence of any of the following:



               (1) if this Agreement with respect to such Station is declared invalid or illegal in whole or
substantial part by an order or decree of an administrative agency or court of competent
jurisdiction and such order or decree has become final and no longer subject to further
administrative or judicial review;



               (2) with the mutual consent of PCC, the Station Licensee and CNI with respect to such Station;
or



               (3) by PCC, if the CNI Overnight Programming or CNI 24-hour Digital Programming fails to
comply with CNI’s Statement of Mission and Purpose (attached hereto as Exhibit C), and CNI has not
cured such deficiency within 6 months after written notice thereof from PCC to CNI.



               Any termination of this Agreement with respect to any Station shall not affect the continued
validity or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to the other Stations. No party shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement except as provided in this Section 6(d).



          (e) Remedies for Breach. If there is a material breach by any party hereto of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement with respect to
any licensed Station, the nonbreaching party shall provide



-18-









 





the breaching party notice of such breach and the breaching party shall have 30 days
thereafter to cure such breach. If such breach is not cured within such 30-day period, the
nonbreaching party may bring an action for specific performance of this Agreement or for injunctive
relief. PCC and CNI specifically recognize that in the event any party hereto shall refuse to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, monetary damages will not be adequate, given that the
essence of this Agreement is the right of CNI for carriage of the CNI Overnight Programming and CNI
24-hour Digital Programming. In the event of any action to enforce this Agreement, each
nonperforming party hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In no event
shall any party hereto have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any Station as a
result of a breach of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. A breach
of this Agreement with respect to any Station shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement with
respect to any other Station. Nothing contained in this subsection shall affect any party’s rights
to indemnification for a breach of this Agreement as set forth in this Agreement.



          (f) Force Majeure. Any failure or impairment of any Station’s facilities or any delay
or interruption in the broadcast of programs, or failure at any time to furnish facilities or
programming, in whole or in part, for broadcast, due to Acts of God, strikes, lockouts, material or
labor restrictions by any governmental authority, civil riot, floods and any other cause not
reasonably within the control of PCC, CNI or the Station Licensee, or for power reductions
necessitated for maintenance of any Station or for maintenance of other stations located on the
tower from which such Station is broadcasting, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement,
provided that the party which is unable to perform as a result of a force majeure event shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to restore promptly full compliance by such party with the terms of
this Agreement.



          (g) Assignments. It is the intent of the parties that the rights and obligations of
PCC under this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned to PCC’s assignees, transferees or
successors in interest, including, without limitation, each successive Licensee of each Station
whether or not such Licensee is owned or controlled by PCC, and shall not be disavowed by PCC or
any assignee, transferee or successor in interest to PCC.



               (1) Upon any transfer of control or the assignment of the License of any Station, the
assignee, transferee or successor in interest shall assume and perform in its entirety the Station
Agreement; provided that, if any transfer of control or assignment of License of any Station is
attempted without assumption and performance of the Station Agreement, such transfer or assignment
shall be deemed null and void and the transaction shall be invalid, and CNI shall have all remedies
available at law and equity.



               (2) PCC (and each assignee, transferee or successor in interest subsequent to PCC) shall
include the following provision in any contract or other agreement for the sale, transfer of
control or assignment of License of any Station (and shall require that each succeeding assignee,
transferee, or successor in interest include



-19-









 





the following provision in any contract or other agreement for the sale, transfer or control
or assignment of License of any Station):



          [The purchaser, transferee, assignee or successor in interest of this Station’s
License and/or assets acknowledges that it has received actual notice of the Master
Agreement for Overnight Programming, Use of Digital Capacity and Public Interest
Programming by and between The Christian Network, Inc., and Paxson Communications
Corporation (“PCC”), and the PCC Subsidiaries and the related Station Agreement with
the Station Licensee and represents and warrants that it will assume the Station
Agreement and all rights and obligations contained in it and, if it should transfer
control of the Licensee or sell the Station’s assets in the future to a third party,
it shall require that this language be included in the agreement and that the third
party enter into the Assumption Agreement.]



               (3) The assignee, transferee or successor in interest of any Station shall assume the Station
Agreement by an Assumption Agreement in form and substance acceptable to CNI, which shall include,
without limitation, the venue, jurisdiction and assignment provisions of this Agreement. The
Licensee of each Station shall notify CNI (i) within forty-eight (48) hours of the execution of any
contract seeking the FCC’s consent to a change of control or assignment of the Licensee of such
Station; (ii) within 5 business days of the filing of any application seeking such consent; and
(iii) within 5 business days of the FCC grant of any such application. Except for transfers of
control and assignments of licenses described in Section 73.3540(f) of the FCC’s current rules and
regulations, CNI may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Station as of the effective date
of a transfer of control or assignment of the licenses of such Station upon written notice to the
applicable Licensee. Any termination by CNI of this Agreement with respect to any one Station in
accordance with the previous sentence shall not affect the continued validity and enforceability of
this Agreement with respect to any other Station.



               (4) This Agreement shall not be assignable by CNI without the prior written consent of PCC.



          (h) Public Notice. PCC and the Licensee of each Station shall provide notice to the
general public of this Agreement by (i) filing a copy of this Agreement with the FCC in the
publicly available records of each Station; (ii) placing a copy of this Agreement in the Station’s
public inspection file; (iii) listing this Agreement on each Station’s Ownership Report filed with
the FCC and attaching a copy to each Ownership Report filing; (iv) acknowledging the existence of
this Agreement in each quarterly issues/programs list placed in the Station’s public file; and (v)
filing a copy of this Agreement at the local, State and Federal level as requested by CNI,
including any UCC or similar filings.

          (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.



          (j) Amendment. No amendment, waiver of compliance with any provision or condition
hereof, or consent pursuant to this Agreement will be effective unless evidenced by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.



          (k) Compliance with Copyright Act. CNI represents and warrants to PCC that CNI has
full authority to broadcast the CNI Programming on the Stations and that CNI shall not broadcast
any material in violation of the Copyright Act. All music supplied by CNI shall be (i) licensed by
ASCAP, SESAC or BMI; (ii) in the public domain; or (iii) cleared at the source by CNI. CNI shall
be responsible for the payment of all synchronization license fees and master use license fees.
The Licensee of each Station will maintain and pay for ASCAP, BMI and SESAC music performance
licenses as necessary. The right to use the programming and to authorize its use in any manner
shall be and remain vested in CNI.



          (l) Headings. The headings are for convenience only and will not control or affect
the meaning or construction of the provisions of this Agreement.



          (m) Governing Law. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof) subject to applicable federal law
and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC.



          (n) Notices. Any notices required by this Agreement will be in writing and will be
deemed given when personally delivered, or if mailed by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, when deposited in the mail postage prepaid, to the addresses listed below. If

          (o) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to
any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. In the event that
the FCC alters or modifies its rules or policies in a fashion that would raise substantial and
material questions as to the validity of any provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall
negotiate in good faith to revise any such provision of this Agreement with a view toward assuring
compliance with all then existing FCC rules and policies that may be applicable, while attempting
to preserve, as closely as possible, the intent of the parties as embodied in the provisions of
this Agreement which is to be so modified, provided, however, that CNI shall be afforded the
opportunity to seek any waiver of the FCC rules or policies to permit the continuation of this
Agreement unchanged or with changes acceptable to CNI and the other parties to this Agreement shall
not oppose or impede such waiver requests. The invalidity of this Agreement with respect to any
Station shall not affect the validity of this Agreement with respect to any other Station.



          (p) Cooperation. The parties hereto shall cooperate fully with each other and their

unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding
arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Superior Court of New
Castle County, Delaware and/or the Chancery Court of New Castle County, Delaware, or the United

Exhibit C




Statement of Mission and Purpose

for The Christian Network, Inc. (CNI)




CNI is a Church that exists to Honor God by Communicating
Truth Worldwide through Media.



In this pursuit, we believe that Truth is a person: Jesus Christ. And because of this

belief, we are founded upon His teachings.



We believe:




	 	 	 	- that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit.
	 
	 	 	 	- in the Deity and Lordship of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life,
in His miracles, in His atoning death, in His resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of
the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
	 
	 	 	 	- that the Bible is inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
	 
	 	 	 	- in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
	 
	 	 	 	- in the knowledge that for the salvation of the lost and sinful, belief in Jesus
Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
	 
	 	 	 	- that salvation is received wholly by grace through faith in Christ who died for all
men as our substitute.
	 
	 	 	 	- in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is
able to live a godly life.





CNI is committed to communicating these beliefs by assembling people for worship
worldwide through the use of television and other media (traditional and new).
Through the use of this media, the Church intends to inspire, guide and educate people for
the reconciliation of the creation to the Creator. Through our work, we will assist other churches
and service organizations to utilize media for these purposes.



We believe God created us to have a personal relationship with Him. To that end, we created a
programming service called “WORSHIP” to help intensify the individual’s relationship with God and
His Church through the experience of personal worship.



WORSHIP is designed as a 24-hour, multi-media, Christian television church service. A key
ingredient in WORSHIP’s overnight church service is beautiful Christian music videos. These videos
are comprised of hymns and spiritual choruses set to spectacular nature footage and overlaid with
Bible verses. The format creates an environment and promotes itself as a part of a Christian’s
daily worship schedule. It also introduces God to those seeking Him.



WORSHIP’s ministerial hosts conduct the church service with a dialogue of praise and worship
offered up to our Heavenly Father in a manner in which the viewer can actively participate. The
WORSHIP service also features prayers offered by ministers and the



-34-









 








invitation to join in the sacraments. Through their role, the ministers model worship for the
viewers, and invite them to join in as they point toward God. WORSHIP serves as an oasis and a
respite from the daily stresses of life.



The rest of the program day appeals to viewers seeking an entertaining and family friendly
television service. This service features family-values based, “G rated” entertainment programming
with no excessive or gratuitous violence, explicit sex or foul language. In many cases it is also
integrated with a spiritual message, thus promoting an environment for the viewer to come to know
God. Through this segment of programming, CM provides positive entertainment from a Christian
worldview.. . entertainment that is meaningful.



All CNI programming and services are conducted to honor God (not man) and to make known the
renowned Creator of the universe.



Through WORSHIP and other activities and subsidiaries, CM will utilize the power of media to
promote obedience of the Great Commandment (to love God) and to advance the Great Commission (to go
and make followers). In order to accomplish CNI’s purpose, it will take great commerce.



To that end, CM will receive donations from individuals, churches, foundations and other entities.
CM will also seek corporate support on a variety of levels including, but not limited to,
sponsorships and royalties. Such activities will be consistent with the limitations of the church
structure and adhere to its mission as a church. These activities will promote the same beliefs and
values as stated above.

(“NBC”) pursuant to which NBC is making an investment in PCC. In connection with the PCC-NBC
Agreements, the parties are entering into this Agreement with the consent and approval of NBC.



     C. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that CNI has substantial experience and expertise
in producing high quality broadcast television programming and public interest programming of both
a commercial and non-commercial nature, including public affairs, children’s, instructional and
educational programming, for nationwide distribution to television stations and that, since its
inception as an owner and operator of television broadcast stations seven years ago, PCC has
broadcast on its stations CNI’s public interest programming pursuant to individual station
affiliation agreements and the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that such programming is
instructional and educational and constitutes suitable programming in the public interest.



     D. The FCC imposes public interest obligations on all television stations requiring television
stations to provide programming that meets the public interest, convenience and necessity, address
community issues with responsive programming, provide three hours weekly of children’s educational
programming, and adhere to the restrictions on the airing of indecent programming.



     E. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 provides that these public interest obligations of
television stations extend to their digital operations, and the FCC has announced that it may adopt
new public interest rules for digital television.



-36-









 





     F. The Advisory Committee on Public Interest Obligations of Digital Broadcasters was created
by the White House pursuant to Executive Order and has sent its Final Report to the FCC
recommending that additional public interest obligations be imposed on digital television stations.
The FCC has announced that it will initiate a proceeding to consider these recommendations.



     G. The Station has determined that the public interest, convenience and necessity would be
served by the continued overnight broadcast of CNI Programming on the Station which includes
instructional and educational programming. It is in the best interests of the Station to satisfy
its public interest obligations and such additional obligations as may be imposed on the Station in
the digital future through the broadcast of CNI Programming on the Station. The Station and CNI
have agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Station shall grant to

television home reception and associated carriage by cable or other multi-channel distribution
system within the Station’s DMA.



          (d) Must Carry; Retransmission Consent.



               (1) The Licensee of the Station may grant consent to the retransmission of the Station’s
signal by a cable system or other multi-channel distribution system pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6 of the 1992 Cable Act provided that such retransmission consent provides for carriage of
CNI Overnight Programming on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Station’s primary
channel at no cost to CNI.



               (2) The Station may elect in the future mandatory carriage (“must-carry”) pursuant to Section
76.64 (or other such applicable Section) of the FCC Rules, for either its analog signal or for its
digital signals, whether on a digital tier or not, and, in such event, the Station shall make all
commercially reasonable efforts to enforce those must carry rights and shall take all necessary
steps to ensure that CNI Overnight Programming or digital programming is entitled to such
must-carry on an equal basis with the Station’s analog or primary digital channel, as applicable.



               (3) The parties acknowledge that the FCC has a pending rulemaking proceeding in CS Docket No.
98-120 regarding digital broadcast television must-carry requirements for cable television
operators. The Station will use commercially reasonable efforts to see that the CNI Overnight
Programming is entitled to non-discriminatory must-carry rights relative to the rights provided to
the Station as a result of that or any other FCC must-carry proceeding, or any statutory enactment,
including, without limitation, cable carriage or where applicable, carriage by any multi-channel
distribution system, in a manner that provides the widest possible viewer receipt of the CNI
Overnight Programming during the Digital Transition Period and carriage in both the analog and
digital format that is equal to the Station’s analog or primary digital channel, as applicable.



          (e) Digital Channel for the First Stage. During the Digital Transition Period, with
respect to the digital and analog channels allocated to the Station by the FCC, the Station shall
broadcast the CNI Overnight Programming as required hereunder simultaneously over both the analog
and the digital channel. Notwithstanding the Station’s return of its analog channel at the end of
the Digital Transition Period, except as set forth in Section 3, the Station shall continue to
broadcast the CNI Overnight Programming over the Station’s digital channel, whether that channel
uses HDTV, ATV, or some other digital broadcast format; provided that, in the event that the
Station engages in multi-casting during the First Stage of this



-40-









 





Agreement, the CNI Overnight Programming shall be on the primary digital channel visible to
the viewer. Digital broadcasts of the CNI Overnight Programming pursuant to Section 2(a) shall
continue until such time as CNI commences use of the CNI Digital Channel (as that term is defined
below in Section 3).



          (f) Licensee Discretion and Preemptions of CNI Overnight Programming. CNI recognizes
that the Licensee of the Station has full authority to control the Station under currently
applicable law. The Licensee of the Station shall have the right to reject any portion of the CNI
Overnight Programming that the Licensee reasonably believes to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or
contrary to the public interest (an “Unsuitable Program”). In the event of any such rejection, the
Licensee shall give CNI written notice of such rejection at least 7 days in advance of the
scheduled broadcast or as soon as possible. Any portion of the CNI Overnight Programming may be
deemed by the Licensee to be an Unsuitable Program only if: (i) the Licensee reasonably believes
that the telecast of such CNI Overnight Programming would violate applicable governmental laws,
rules, regulations or published policies or (ii) if in the Licensee’s reasonable judgment
preemption of such portion of the CNI Overnight Programming is required in order for the Station to
meet a programming obligation imposed by the FCC that cannot otherwise be met by the Station and
the Licensee provides a written explanation for its determination. No CNI Overnight Programming
may be deemed by the Licensee to be an Unsuitable Program based on program performance or ratings,
advertiser reactions or the availability of alternate programming which the Licensee believes to be
more profitable or attractive than such CNI Overnight Programming. If the Licensee refuses to
broadcast any Unsuitable Program, CNI shall have the right to provide substitute CNI Programming to
the Station from the previously approved CNI Programming which shall be provided to PCC at least 30
days in advance of the scheduled broadcast or as soon as possible. The Licensee may also preempt
the CNI Overnight Programming to provide the broadcast of live reports of a fast breaking news
event free of commercial announcements or any promotional announcements for the Station or its
network.



     Section 3. Use of CNI Digital Channel. During the Second Stage of this Agreement as
applicable to the Station, the Station shall make available to CNI for CNI’s use the CNI Digital
Channel. CNI shall have the right to retain all income and donations received by CNI in connection
with its use of the CNI Digital Channel of the Station. The Station agrees that CNI’s right to use
the CNI Digital Channel is part of the essence of this Agreement.



          (a) Commencement of Use of CNI Digital Channel. Upon the Station engaging in
multi-casting using two multi-cast channels, from the Station’s 6 MHz television channel, the
Station shall immediately make available to CNI (the third channel) the CNI Digital Channel for the
Station.



          (b) PCC Converted Station. If at any time during the Second Stage the Station becomes
a PCC Converted Station, notwithstanding such conversion, the Station shall continue to have the
carriage obligations for the CNI Digital Channel as set



-41-









 





forth in this Agreement except to the extent CNI has been provided with Replacement Coverage,
and CNI shall continue to have the right to provide CNI Programming.



          (c) Programming of CNI Digital Channel. CNI shall have the right to program the
Station’s CNI Digital Channel with CNI 24-hour Digital Programming. The parties hereto acknowledge
that the FCC has not yet implemented specific public interest obligations for the use of the
digital spectrum by television Station. Accordingly, the actual CNI Programs supplied by CNI for
the CNI Digital Channel of the Station will be subject to change from time to time as reasonably
decided by CNI so as to satisfy the public interest obligations (including, without limitation,
children’s programming obligations) as they may be imposed by the FCC on the use of the digital
spectrum by the Station. The parties hereto acknowledge that the CNI Programming contains
commercial and non-commercial aspects and contains programming that is educational and
instructional in nature. Subject to change in order to satisfy the FCC’s public interest
obligations (including, without limitation, children’s programming obligations), CNI has the right
to provide up to 90 minutes per week of public affairs programming on the CNI Digital Channel for
broadcast between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and Midnight; three (3) hours per week of children’s
programming for broadcast during core programming hours suitable for compliance with FCC
regulations implementing the Children’s Television Act or any successor law; and thirteen (13)
hours per week of instructional/educational programming, provided, however, that in the event that
CNI’s use of the CNI Digital Channel is preempted pursuant to Section 3(f) or (g) hereof, CNI will
have the right to not provide any public affairs and children’s programming. The programming to be
broadcast on the CNI Digital Channel shall conform in all material respects with applicable laws,
including the Act and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC. Subject to the
foregoing, CNI shall not be required to produce or deliver any news programming for broadcast on
the Station or provide broadcast access to political candidates. CNI may use the CNI Digital
Channel of the Station for free-over-the-air video television service, data casting to the extent
that it is wholly integrated with the CNI Programming and its content is relevant to the CNI
Programming and to obtain associated carriage by cable or other multi-channel distribution system
and may not use the CNI Digital Channel of the Station for any non-video, non-data casting or
non-broadcast uses except with the prior written consent of the Licensee, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.



          (d) Rights of Carriage. The Station shall broadcast the CNI Digital Channel from the
Station’s originating transmitter and antenna for free over-the-air television home reception and
associated carriage by cable, multi-channel distribution systems or any other delivery system as
may be developed in the future within the Station’s DMA. The Station shall broadcast the CNI
Digital Channel on the same basis as the other multi-cast, multi-channel digital services of the
Station and shall not discriminate in its broadcast transmission of the CNI Digital Channel,
provided that in no event shall the CNI Digital Channel be entitled to more than 0.6 MHz. CNI
shall not be obligated to drop its First Stage overnight carriage and to commence use of the CNI
Digital Channel until the number of households in the DMA capable of receiving the CNI Digital
Channel off-air or by cable carriage or other multi-channel distribution systems pursuant to must
carry or retransmission consent reaches twenty-five percent (25%) of



-42-









 





the total number of households in the DMA. The Station shall be permitted to employ digital
technology that allows it to use the Station’s spectrum more efficiently, provided that such use
shall not in any way degrade the quality or the extent of delivery to viewers of the CNI Digital
Channel or any other aspect of CNI’s use of the CNI Digital Channel.



          (e) Must Carry; Retransmission Consent. The parties acknowledge that the FCC has a
pending rulemaking proceeding in CS Docket No. 98-120 regarding digital broadcast television
must-carry requirements for cable television operators during and after the Digital Transition
Period and in a multi-cast, multi-channel environment.



               (1) The Licensee of the Station may grant consent to the retransmission of the Station’s
signal by a cable system or other multi-channel distribution system pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6 of the 1992 Cable Act, provided that the Licensee uses commercially reasonable efforts to
see that the retransmission consent provides for carriage of CNI 24-hour Digital Programming that
is non-discriminatory to the carriage afforded to the primary channel or any of the multi-cast
channels using the Station’s 6 MHz television channel and at no cost to CNI.



               (2) The Station may elect in the future mandatory carriage (“must carry”) pursuant to rules
adopted by the FCC. PCC will use commercially reasonable efforts to see that the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming shall be entitled to non-discriminatory must-carry rights relative to those
secured by the Station, including, without limitation, carriage by cable or other multi-channel
distribution system in a manner that provides the widest possible viewer receipt of the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming. The Station Licensee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill
the intent of the parties with respect to must-carry rights. At a minimum, the CNI 24-hour Digital
Programming shall be entitled to non-discriminatory carriage by cable or other multi-channel
distribution system relative to that afforded to the primary channel or any of the multi-cast
channels using the Station’s 6 MHz television channel, provided that in no event shall the CNI
Digital Channel be entitled to more than 0.6 MHz. The parties also acknowledge that there is
pending in Congress legislation regarding digital broadcast television must-carry requirements for
satellite multi-channel video programming providers during and after the Digital Transition Period
and in a multi-cast, multi-channel environment.



               (3) The Licensee of the Station may grant consent to the retransmission of the Station’s
signal by a satellite system or other multi-channel distribution system, provided that the
retransmission consent provides for carriage of CNI 24-hour Digital Programming that is
non-discriminatory relative to the carriage afforded to the primary channel or any of the
multi-cast channels using the Station’s 6 MHz television channel and at no cost to CNI, provided
that in no event shall the CNI Digital Channel be entitled to more than 0.6 MHz.



               (4) The Station may elect mandatory carriage (“must carry”) pursuant to laws adopted by
Congress. The Station will use commercially reasonable efforts to see that the CNI 24-hour Digital
Programming shall not be discriminated in any



-43-









 





must-carry rights selected by the Station, including, without limitation, carriage by
satellite systems in a manner that provides the widest possible viewer receipt of the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming. The Licensee agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to
fulfill the intent of the parties with respect to must-carry rights. At a minimum, the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming shall be entitled to the most favorable carriage afforded to the primary
channel or any of the multi-cast channels using the Station’s 6 MHz television channel, provided
that in no event shall the CNI Digital Signal be entitled to more than 0.6 MHz.



          (f) Licensee Discretion and CNI Digital Channel Preemption. CNI recognizes that the
Licensee of the Station has full authority to control the Station under currently applicable law.
The Station agrees that, should the law or FCC rules, policies or interpretations change to permit
users of digital broadcast spectrum to control directly their own use of the spectrum, this
subsection shall no longer apply. Until such change, however, the following provisions shall apply
to the minimum extent required by the FCC (if at all), the parties intending that CNI would have
absolute control of the CNI Digital Channel under this Agreement if and to the extent permitted by
law. The Licensee of the Station shall have the right to reject any portion of the CNI 24-hour
Digital Programming to be broadcast on the Station which the Licensee reasonably believes to be an
Unsuitable Program. In the event of any such rejection by the Licensee, the Licensee shall give
CNI written notice of such rejection at least 7 days in advance of the scheduled broadcast or as
soon as possible. Any portion of the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming may be deemed by the Licensee
to be an Unsuitable Program only if: (i) the Licensee reasonably believes that the telecast of such
CNI Programming from the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming would violate applicable governmental
laws, rules, regulations or published policies or (ii) if in the Licensee’s reasonable judgment
preemption of such CNI Programming from the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming is required in order
for the Station to meet the public interest programming obligations imposed by the FCC that cannot
otherwise be met by the Station and the Licensee provides a written explanation for its
determination. No CNI 24-hour Digital Programming may be deemed by Licensee to be an Unsuitable
Program based on program performance or ratings, advertiser reactions or the availability of
alternate programming which the Licensee believes to be more profitable or attractive than such CNI
24-hour Digital Programming. If the Licensee refuses to broadcast any Unsuitable Program, CNI
shall have the right to provide substitute CNI Programming to the Station from the previously
approved CNI Programming. The Licensee may also preempt the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming to
provide the broadcast of live reports of a fast breaking news event free of commercial
announcements or any promotional announcements for the Station or its network.



          (g) HDTV Preemption Rights. On a PCC Converted Station, CNI’s use of the CNI Digital
Channel may be preempted only in the following circumstance: (i) use of the CNI Digital Channel is
required for HDTV broadcasts and there is no other technologically feasible means (including use of
any other portions of the 6 MHz digital channel other than the CNI Digital Channel, or the use of
other equipment or technologies, such as digital compression equipment) to achieve the HDTV
broadcast without use of the CNI Digital Channel; provided, however, that the Station agrees to



-44-









 





use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid preemption of the CNI Digital Channel for HDTV
broadcasts if it is technologically feasible at the time of any such preemption to broadcast HDTV
in the 1080i picture format with less than 6 MHz of spectrum; (ii) any preemptions of the CNI
Digital Channel for HDTV broadcasts do not exceed twelve (12) hours of each broadcast day; and
(iii) CNI receives as much notice as is commercially reasonable of any preemptions for HDTV
broadcasts.



          (h) Provision of Alternate Spectrum. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
restrict or limit the use of digital technology to permit the more efficient use of the Station’s
digital spectrum so long as such technology does not in any way degrade the quality of any CNI
Program or limit the amount of programming time on or CNI’s right to use the 0.6 MHz spectrum in
the CNI Digital Channel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, alternate spectrum may
be substituted for the CNI Digital Channel (“Alternate Spectrum”), provided that the Alternate
Spectrum is reasonably comparable in all respects, including geographic coverage and audience
reach, signal quality to viewers, channel position and free reception, and provided that, if the
Alternate Spectrum consists of another broadcast station, the licensee of such broadcast station
agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Station Agreement. If the Alternate
Spectrum provided by the other Station shall become unavailable or unsuitable for longer than a
period of thirty (30) consecutive days, for use by the CNI Digital Channel as provided herein, CNI
shall have the right to have the CNI Digital Channel carried on the Station as provided for in this
Agreement and this Station Agreement reinstated.



     Section 4. Provisions Applicable to CNI Overnight Programming and CNI Digital Channel



          (a) Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of execution of this
Agreement and, except as set forth in Section 6(d) hereof, shall continue in effect for a period of
fifty years and will thereafter automatically renew for successive periods of ten years,
unless and until one of the following events occur (a) CNI or its permitted successors or
assigns cease to exist; (b) CNI commences a proceeding for voluntary or involuntary liquidation and
dissolution; (c) CNI ceases to provide family values-based programming with no excessive or
gratuitous violence, no explicit sex and no foul language in accordance with the CNI Statement of
Mission and Purpose attached hereto as Exhibit A; or (d) the FCC licenses for a majority of
PCC’s television stations are revoked.



          (b) Delivery and Distribution. CNI shall produce, acquire and deliver the CNI
Overnight Programming and the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming to the Station at CNI’s expense using
commercially reasonable and industry accepted delivery methods. CNI will provide the CNI
Programming to the PAX TV network master control or other master control location
specified by PCC, at CNI’s expense, in order to permit the inclusion of the CNI Programming in the
network feed for delivery to the Station. If the Station does not
receive a PAX TV or other network feed, CNI shall provide the CNI Programming to the Station via CNI satellite delivery
or other industry accepted delivery method at CNI’s expense. If the PCC network programming
subsequently originates



-45-









 





from other network facilities, the CNI Programming shall be provided to that facility by
satellite delivery or other industry accepted delivery method at CNI’s expense. The Licensee of
the Station shall install and maintain at its expense the equipment which is necessary to receive,
decode, decompress and distribute standard analog and digital programming on the Station or on the
CNI Digital Channel of the Station. The Licensee of the Station shall within five (5) business
days of filing any application with the FCC notify CNI in writing of any proposed change in the
Station’s facilities. The Licensee of the Station shall not change the facilities of the Station
in a manner that could materially adversely affect CNI’s rights under this Agreement with respect
to the Station without CNI’s consent. To the extent that CNI prepares local public affairs
programming for the Station, the Station shall incorporate this programming into the CNI
Programming being broadcast by the Station at the times selected by CNI, via tape or other
insertion method.



          (c) Website Hyperlinks. While Lowell W. Paxson (“Paxson”) is the Single Majority
Shareholder of PCC, (i) the Station if it utilizes an Internet website will provide at the
Station’s expense a first screen hyperlink to the CNI Internet website, and (ii) if a majority of
the PCC Stations are affiliated with a television network that utilizes an Internet website, such
network shall provide at the network’s expense a first screen hyperlink to the CNI Internet
website. CNI shall at its sole expense provide the graphic material required to establish the
hyperlinks described in this section. CNI’s website shall conform in all respects to the CNI
Statement of Mission and Purpose.



          (d) Licensee Operation of Station. To the extent required by law, the Licensee of the
Station shall be responsible for the Station’s compliance with all applicable laws, including the
Act and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC. Nothing in this Agreement shall
abrogate the unrestricted authority of the Licensee to discharge its obligations to the public and
to comply with all applicable laws and the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC. The
Licensee of the Station shall coordinate with CNI any announcements required to be aired by the FCC
during the programming being provided by CNI. In the event that the Station preempts or rejects
any CNI Programming, as provided for in this Agreement, the Station’s substitute programming will
be inserted at its own expense in the CNI Programming via insertion at the Station in the manner
and at the times designated by CNI and in all respects acceptable to CNI. CNI shall have the right
to provide the Station with such information concerning CNI’s programming and advertising as is
necessary to assist the Station to prepare information and materials required to be placed in the
Station’s public inspection file or filed with the FCC, including without limitation, the Station’s
quarterly issues and program lists; information concerning the broadcast of children’s educational
and informational programming; and documentation of compliance with commercial limits applicable to
certain children’s television programming and political broadcast material to the extent CNI is
required to broadcast political programming or advertisements by applicable law. CNI’s rights
hereunder will be exercised in a manner to assist in the Station’s compliance with all applicable
laws, rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC. If the Station reasonably determines
that the CNI Programming does not comply with FCC requirements relating to children’s or public
affairs programming, then the Station may, at its sole expense, provide substitute



-46-









 





programming via insertion at the Station for placement within the CNI Programming at such
times as CNI determines is appropriate provided that such programming complies with CNI’s family
values-based programming with no excessive or gratuitous violence, no explicit sex and no foul
language.



          (e) Children’s Television Advertising. Subject to changes in applicable laws, rules,
regulations and published policies of the FCC, CNI agrees that it will not broadcast on the Station
advertising within programs originally designed for children aged 12 years and under in excess of
the amounts permitted under applicable FCC rules, and will take all steps necessary to pre-screen
children’s educational and institutional programming broadcast during the hours it is providing
such programming, to establish that advertising is not being broadcast in excess of the applicable
or any future FCC rules.



          (f) Payola. CNI agrees that it will not accept any consideration, compensation, gift
or gratuity of any kind whatsoever, regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to,
a commission, discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively “Consideration”), whether or not pursuant to written contracts or agreements between
CNI and merchants or advertisers, unless the payer is identified in the program for which
Consideration was provided as having paid or furnished such Consideration, in accordance with
applicable laws and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC.



          (g) Cooperation on Programming. CNI and the Licensee mutually acknowledge their
interest in ensuring that the Station serves the needs and interests of viewers in the service area
of the Station and agree to cooperate to provide such service. The Station may request, and CNI
shall have the right to provide, information to the Station concerning CNI’s programs as are
responsive to community issues so as to assist the Station in the satisfaction of its public
service programming obligations. CNI may also provide the Station with information necessary to
enable the Station to prepare programming-related records and reports required by the FCC. Upon
CNI’s request, the Station shall provide CNI with notarized quarterly reports in a form reasonably
acceptable to CNI on the Station’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement including,
but not limited to, its carriage of the CNI Programming.



          (h) Unauthorized Copying. The Licensee shall not, and shall not authorize others to,
record, copy or duplicate any programming and other material furnished by CNI hereunder, in whole
or in part, and shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent any such recording, copying or
duplicating (except for copying by viewers for home viewing).



          (i) Programming Changes. CNI shall have the right, in its sole discretion subject to
Section 2(f) and 3(f), as applicable, to (i) modify, cancel or replace any CNI Program, so long as
any such modified or replacement programming is similar in context in all material respects to
CNI’s existing family values-based programming with no excessive or gratuitous violence, no
explicit sex and no foul language, or (ii) change the day or time period during which any CNI
Program is scheduled to be



-47-









 





broadcast but only within the time periods during which the Station is obligated to air CNI
Programming. Any program delivered by CNI in place of any CNI Program regularly scheduled for
broadcast by CNI shall be considered a CNI Program.



          (j) Promotion. CNI and the Station will promote the broadcast of the CNI Overnight
Programming and the CNI Digital Channel in a cooperative manner. The Station agrees to consider
and, to the extent it deems consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity, follow
guidelines established by CNI with respect to the promotion of the CNI Overnight Programming or the
CNI Digital Channel in the Station’s service area, including without limitation, on-the-air
promotion, billboards, radio, and newspapers or other printed advertisements, announcements or
promotions provided, however, that the Station is not obligated to spend any funds on any
promotional efforts for CNI or CNI Programming. While Paxson is the Single Majority Shareholder of
PCC, the Station agrees to air two ten-second CNI promotional announcements on a run of schedule
basis daily during the First Stage only.



          (k) Programming. All rights in and to the CNI Overnight Programming or the CNI
24-hour Digital Programming not specifically granted to the Station in this Agreement are reserved
to CNI for its exclusive use. All right, title and interest in and to the CNI Overnight
Programming and the CNI 24-hour Digital Programming will remain the property of CNI, subject only
to PCC’s right and obligation to broadcast the CNI Overnight Programming and transmit the CNI
24-hour Digital Programming in accordance with this Agreement.



          (l) Trademark License. CNI hereby licenses the Station to use certain of its trade
names, trademarks and service marks (the “CNI Marks”) in connection with the performance of their
obligations under this Agreement, subject to the following conditions. Use of the CNI Marks shall
inure solely to the benefit of CNI. The Station Licensee acknowledges and agrees that uniform and
high standards of quality of use of the CNI Marks are necessary in order to maintain the public
image and widespread reputation of the CNI Marks. The Station Licensee agrees that it will not use
the CNI Marks in a manner that might tend to reflect negatively on the CNI Marks and/or CNI; it
being expressly recognized by the Station Licensee that CNI presents family values-based
programming with no excessive or gratuitous violence, no explicit sex and no foul language.



          (m) Changes in Law, FCC Rules and Policies. The parties acknowledge that governing
law may change the manner in which users of the digital capacity on the Station are regulated and
the scope of Licensee discretion over the Station’s digital capacity. In the event that the rules,
regulations or published policies of the FCC, the provisions of the Act, or any other applicable
law are changed in a manner that materially and adversely affects this Agreement, then CNI may, at
its option and in its sole discretion, (1) terminate this Agreement without any liability
whatsoever, effective upon the effective date of the change in applicable law but that otherwise
complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (2) change the CNI Overnight
Programming or CNI 24-hour Digital Programming in a manner that conforms to the policies and
requirements of the change in applicable law; or (3) enter into good



-48-









 





faith negotiations with the Station seeking to convert CNI’s rights to the CNI Digital Channel
to an ownership interest if the parties can reach a mutually acceptable agreement, if and to the
extent permitted by governing law or (4) seek any appropriate waiver of the FCC’s rules to permit
this Agreement to continue unchanged. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, if, in the
future, the Station’s digital broadcast spectrum becomes sublicensable, CNI shall have the right to
enter into good faith negotiations with the Station to attempt to reach a mutually acceptable
agreement to convert the CNI Digital Channel on the Station to such FCC sublicense, if and to the
extent permitted by governing law. In this Agreement and subject to the negotiations referred
above, the parties intend that CNI shall have all right, title and interest in and to the CNI
Digital Channel to the fullest extent permitted by applicable provisions of the Act, and the rules,
regulations and policies of the FCC promulgated thereunder (collectively with the Act, the
“Communications Law”) as the Communications Law may be amended or interpreted from time to time
subject to CNI and the Station negotiating a mutually acceptable agreement. If, at any time
following the date of this Agreement, the Communications Law is amended to permit CNI to acquire
the CNI Digital Channel for the Station then, CNI shall have the right to enter into good faith
negotiations with the Station to attempt to reach a mutually acceptable agreement to convert the
CNI Digital Channel on the Station to such FCC sublicense, if and to the extent permitted by
governing law to CNI. Upon the consummation of such conveyance, neither CNI nor the Station
Licensee shall have any further obligation hereunder except to transmit the CNI Programming. The
parties hereto further acknowledge that CNI may seek whatever rule or law changes are necessary to
permit CNI to be the sublicensee or owner of the CNI Digital Channel and that the other parties to
this Agreement will not oppose or otherwise seek to impede such rule or law change in any manner
whatsoever. To the extent that revisions in the Communications Law or changes in the technology
employed by the Station occur such that the Station utilizes a transmission or broadcast method
different from the current analog or anticipated digital methods, the parties acknowledge that it
is their intent that CNI retain its rights to broadcast the CNI Programming over the Station to the
full extent provided by this Agreement, to the extent commercially reasonable, by amending or
modifying the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if necessary, to effectuate that intent. It
is expressly understood that the parties intend that CNI’s rights under this Agreement will not be
adversely affected in the future by law or technological changes.



          (n) Broadcast in Entirety. Subject to the preemption rights under this Agreement, the
Licensee agrees to cause the Station to broadcast in its entirety, without any editing, delay,
addition, alteration or deletion, the CNI Programming, including the primary video and accompanying
audio portions of the signal; all CNI identification; all commercial spots and noncommercial
announcements; all promotional material; all data casting transmissions to the extent that it is
wholly integrated with the CNI Programming and its content is relevant to the CNI Programming; all
copyright and trademark notices; all sponsorship identification announcements; all credits and
billings; all information in the Vertical Blanking Interval to the extent that it is wholly
integrated with the CNI Programming and its content is relevant to the CNI Programming; any and all
video anywhere within digital signal; and any other proprietary material of any kind or nature
included therein.

               (2) There is no requirement applicable to the Licensee to obtain any permit, authorization,

rule, regulation or policy of the FCC, slander, defamation or other claims relating to programming
provided by CNI and CNI’s broadcast and sale of advertising time on the Station or (iii) CNI’s

          (f) Limitation. No party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to subsections
(d) and (e) unless such claim for indemnification is asserted in writing delivered to the other
party.



          (g) Indemnification. If upon presentation of a claim for indemnity hereunder, the
party against whom indemnification is requested does not agree that all or part of such claim is
subject to the indemnification obligations imposed upon it pursuant to this Agreement, it shall
promptly so notify the party claiming to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. Thereupon, the
parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute, including where appropriate, reaching
an agreement as to that portion of the claim, if any, which all concede is subject to
indemnification. To the extent that the parties are unable to reach agreement, the parties shall
have all remedies available at law or in equity.



     Section 6. Miscellaneous Provisions



          (a) Agreement Challenge. If this Agreement is challenged at the FCC or in any court
of law or equity, whether or not in connection with the Station’s License renewal, transfer or
assignment application, CNI and the Station Licensee, current or subsequent, shall defend this
Agreement and the parties’ performance thereunder either individually, or at their option, jointly,
throughout all FCC and Court proceedings. The parties hereto agree that they shall take no action
to support in any manner, such a challenge to this Agreement. If portions of this Agreement do not
receive the approval of the FCC or the Courts, or are otherwise determined to be invalid, then the
parties shall reform this Agreement as necessary to satisfy the FCC’s or the Court’s concerns to
the extent consistent with the parties’ agreements hereunder or, at CNI’s option and expense, seek
reversal of the FCC or Court decision and approval from the full FCC or the Court.



          (b) Confidential Review. Upon the Station’s request, CNI shall acquaint the Licensee
of the Station with the nature and type of the programming provided by CNI. The Station shall be
entitled to review at its discretion from time to time on a confidential basis any of CNI’s
programming material it may reasonably request. CNI may provide the Station with copies of all
correspondence and complaints received from the public (including any logs of telephone
complaints), and copies of all program logs and promotional materials. However, nothing in this
section shall entitle the Station to review the internal corporate or financial records of CNI.



          (c) Termination. In addition to the termination provisions set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated as set forth below by the Station or CNI by
written notice to the other party upon the occurrence of any of the following:



-52-









 





               (1) if this Agreement with respect to the Station is declared invalid or illegal in whole or
substantial part by an order or decree of an administrative agency or court of competent
jurisdiction and such order or decree has become final and no longer subject to further
administrative or judicial review;



               (2) with the mutual consent of the Station Licensee and CNI with respect to the Station; or



               (3) by the Station, if the CNI Overnight Programming or CNI 24-hour Digital Programming fails
to comply with CNI’s Statement of Mission and Purpose (attached hereto as Exhibit A), and CNI has
not cured such deficiency within 6 months after written notice thereof from the Station to CNI.



     Any termination of this Agreement with respect to the Station shall not affect the continued
validity or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to the other PCC Stations. No party
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement except as provided in this Section 6(c).



          (d) Remedies for Breach. If there is a material breach by any party hereto of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement with respect to
the Station, the nonbreaching party shall provide the breaching party notice of such breach and the
breaching party shall have 30 days thereafter to cure such breach. If such breach is not cured
within such 30-day period, the nonbreaching party may bring an action for specific performance of
this Agreement or for injunctive relief. The Station and CNI specifically recognize that in the
event any party hereto shall refuse to perform its obligations under this Agreement, monetary
damages will not be adequate, given that the essence of this Agreement is the right of CNI for
carriage of the CNI Overnight Programming and CNI 24-hour Digital Programming. In the event of any
action to enforce this Agreement, each nonperforming party hereby waives the defense that there is
an adequate remedy at law. In no event shall any party hereto have the right to terminate this
Agreement with respect to the Station as a result of a breach of this Agreement, except as
specifically set forth in this Agreement. A breach of this Agreement with respect to the Station
shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement with respect to any other PCC Station. Nothing
contained in this subsection shall affect any party’s rights to indemnification for a breach of
this Agreement as set forth in this Agreement.



          (e) Force Majeure. Any failure or impairment of the Station’s facilities or any delay
or interruption in the broadcast of programs, or failure at any time to furnish facilities or
programming, in whole or in part, for broadcast, due to Acts of God, strikes, lockouts, material or
labor restrictions by any governmental authority, civil riot, floods and any other cause not
reasonably within the control of CNI or the Station Licensee, or for power reductions necessitated
for maintenance of the Station or for maintenance of other stations located on the tower from which
the Station is broadcasting, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, provided that the
party which is unable to perform as a result of a force majeure event shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to restore promptly full compliance by such party with the terms of this
Agreement.



-53-









 





          (f) Assignments. It is the intent of the parties that the rights and obligations of
the Station under this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned to the Station’s assignees,
transferees or successors in interest, including, without limitation, each successive Licensee of
the Station whether or not the Licensee is owned or controlled by PCC, and shall not be disavowed
by the Station or any assignee, transferee or successor in interest to the Station.



               (1) Upon any transfer of control or the assignment of the License of the Station, the
assignee, transferee or successor in interest shall assume and perform in its entirety this
Agreement; provided that, if any transfer of control or assignment of License of the Station is
attempted without assumption and performance of this Agreement, such transfer or assignment shall
be deemed null and void and the transaction shall be invalid, and CNI shall have all remedies
available at law and equity.



               (2) The Licensee (and each assignee, transferee or successor in interest subsequent to the
Licensee) shall include the following provision in any contract or other agreement for the sale,
transfer of control or assignment of License of the Station (and shall require that each succeeding
assignee, transferee, or successor in interest include the following provision in any contract or
other agreement for the sale, transfer or control or assignment of License of the Station):



     [The purchaser, transferee, assignee or successor in interest of this Station’s
License and/or assets acknowledges that it has received actual notice of the Master
Agreement for Overnight Programming, Use of Digital Capacity and Public Interest
Programming by and between The Christian Network, Inc., and Paxson Communications
Corporation (“PCC”), and the PCC Subsidiaries and the related Station Agreement with
the Station Licensee and represents and warrants that it will assume the Station
Agreement and all rights and obligations contained in it and, if it should transfer
control of the Licensee or sell the Station’s assets in the future to a third party,
it shall require that this language be included in the agreement and that the third
party enter into the Assumption Agreement.]



               (3) The assignee, transferee or successor in interest of the Station shall assume the Station
Agreement by an Assumption Agreement in form and substance acceptable to CNI, which shall include,
without limitation, the venue, jurisdiction and assignment provisions of this Agreement. The
Licensee of the Station shall notify CNI (i) within forty-eight (48) hours of the execution of any
contract seeking the FCC’s consent to a change of control or assignment of the Licensee of the
Station; (ii) within 5 business days of the filing of any application seeking such consent; and
(iii) within 5 business days of the FCC grant of any such application. Except for transfers of
control and assignments of licenses described in Section 73.3540(f) of the FCC’s current rules and
regulations, CNI may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Station as of the effective date
of a transfer of control or assignment of the licenses of the Station upon written notice to the
applicable Licensee. Any termination by CNI of



-54-









 





this Agreement with respect to the Station in accordance with the previous sentence shall not
affect the continued validity and enforceability of this Agreement with respect to any other PCC
Station.



               (4) This Agreement shall not be assignable by CNI without the prior written of the Station.



          (g) Public Notice. PCC and the Licensee of the Station shall provide notice to the
general public of this Agreement by (i) filing a copy of this Agreement with the FCC in the
publicly available records of the Station; (ii) placing a copy of this Agreement in the Station’s
public inspection file; (iii) listing this Agreement on the Station’s Ownership Report filed with
the FCC and attaching a copy to each Ownership Report filing; (iv) acknowledging the existence of
this Agreement in each quarterly issues/programs list placed in the Station’s public file; and (v)
filing a copy of this Agreement at the local, State and Federal level as requested by CNI,
including any UCC or similar filings.



          (h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.



          (i) Amendment. No amendment, waiver of compliance with any provision or condition
hereof, or consent pursuant to this Agreement will be effective unless evidenced by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.



          (j) Compliance with Copyright Act. CNI represents and warrants to the Station that
CNI has full authority to broadcast the CNI Programming on the Station and that CNI shall not
broadcast any material in violation of the Copyright Act. All music supplied by CNI shall be (i)
licensed by ASCAP, SESAC or BMI; (ii) in the public domain; or (iii) cleared at the source by CNI.
CNI shall be responsible for the payment of all synchronization license fees and master use license
fees. The Licensee of the Station will maintain and pay for ASCAP, BMI and SESAC music performance
licenses as necessary. The right to use the programming and to authorize its use in any manner
shall be and remain vested in CNI.



          (k) Headings. The headings are for convenience only and will not control or affect
the meaning or construction of the provisions of this Agreement.



          (l) Governing Law. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof) subject to applicable federal law
and the rules, regulations and published policies of the FCC.



          (m) Notices. Any notices required by this Agreement will be in writing and will be
deemed given when personally delivered, or if mailed by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, when deposited in the mail postage prepaid, to the addresses listed below. If

          (n) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to
any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. In the event that
the FCC alters or modifies its rules or policies in a fashion that would raise substantial and
material questions as to the validity of any provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall
negotiate in good faith to revise any such provision of this Agreement with a view toward assuring
compliance with all then existing FCC rules and policies that may be applicable, while attempting
to preserve, as closely as possible, the intent of the parties as embodied in the provisions of
this Agreement which is to be so modified, provided, however, that CNI shall be afforded the
opportunity to seek any waiver of the FCC rules or policies to permit the continuation of this
Agreement unchanged or with changes acceptable to CNI and the other parties to this Agreement shall
not oppose or impede such waiver requests. The invalidity of this Agreement with respect to the
Station shall not affect the validity of this Agreement with respect to any other PCC Station.




          (o) Cooperation. The parties hereto shall cooperate fully with each other and their
respective counsel and accountants in connection with any steps required to be taken under this
Agreement and will use their respective best efforts to perform or fulfill all conditions and
obligations to be performed or fulfilled by them under this Agreement.




          (p) Exclusivity. Other than this Agreement and the Master Agreement, CNI shall not
enter into any agreement or commitment pursuant to which CNI or an affiliate thereof shall permit
any television station to broadcast the CNI Programming in any DMA in which the Station is located;
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent CNI from offering the CNI
Programming for carriage by private



-56-









 





or master antenna cable service located in or serving the Station’s DMA but outside of the
Station’s Grade B contour. In areas outside of the Station’s current coverage area but within the
Station’s DMA, CNI may offer the CNI Programming to full or low power television Station or
multi-channel distribution system, including direct broadcast satellite service, cable and any
other future multi-channel video program distributors.




          (q) Expenses. Each party hereto shall bear its own expenses, costs, fees and taxes
incurred in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.




          (r) Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware and the Superior Court of New Castle County, Delaware and/or the Chancery
Court of New Castle County, Delaware, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding
arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto
agrees, to the extent permitted under applicable rules of procedure, to commence any action, suit
or proceeding relating hereto either in the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware, or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for
jurisdictional reasons in the Superior Court of New Castle County, Delaware and/or the Chancery
Court of New Castle County, Delaware. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that service of
any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address
set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in
Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this
