course of business, (B) enter into, renew, amend or modify any contract of
employment, collective bargaining agreement or other labor contract except in
the ordinary course of business or (C) permit any increases in the compensation
of any of the employees of any Station except in the ordinary course of
business; provided, however, that LIN-Texas may pay bonuses to any of its
employees so long as such bonuses do not create binding obligations upon
Holdings after the Closing Date.

<PAGE>   23

            (c) Whenever, pursuant to subsections (b)(i) through (vi) above,
LIN-Texas shall request the consent of Holdings, the request shall be sent in
writing via facsimile to Holdings in accordance with Section 11.3. Unless
Holdings gives or denies its written consent by the end of the second Business

consent will be presumed to have been given as of that deadline.

         5.2 ENCUMBRANCES. LIN-Texas shall not create, assume or permit to exist
any Liens upon any of the Assets except for Permitted Liens and Liens that will
be discharged prior to or on the Closing Date.

         5.6 UPDATED SCHEDULES. LIN-Texas shall promptly disclose in writing to
Holdings, and Holdings shall promptly disclose in writing to LIN-Texas, any
information contained in its respective representations and warranties or any of
the Schedules hereto which, because of an event occurring after the Agreement
Date, is incomplete or is no longer correct as of all times after the Agreement
Date and until the Closing Date. Any such disclosure shall be in the form of an
updated Schedule, marked to reflect the new or amended information. In the event
that LIN-Texas or Holdings makes any such disclosure prior to the Closing and
the Closing occurs, such disclosure shall be deemed to amend and supplement the
representations and warranties and the applicable Schedule hereto, and in such
event neither Holdings nor LIN-Texas, as the case may be, shall have the right
to be indemnified for any matter contained in such disclosure. Nothing contained
in this Section 5.6 shall be construed as changing any party's right to
terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything to the contrary contained herein, from the Agreement Date through
the Closing Date, Holdings and its subsidiaries (including, for the purposes
hereof, persons which will become subsidiaries immediately after giving effect

contracts and agreements in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice and (B) all contracts ancillary to effecting the Additional
Transactions in a manner consistent with Exhibit hereto, in each case

disclosed pursuant to Section 4.13 or any other representation or warranty of
Holdings contained in Section 4, (ii) shall notify LIN-Texas of such contracts
at any time prior to the Closing Date (but in any event no later than five
business days prior to the Closing Date) and (iii) provided such contract was
entered into in accordance with this sentence, such notice shall operate to cure
(for all purposes, including for the purposes of the indemnification provisions
hereof) any breach of the applicable representations and warranties made herein
or any schedule referred to herein or attached hereto that otherwise would have
been caused by the execution of such Contracts absent the application of this
sentence.

         5.7 NOTICE OF CERTAIN MATTERS. LIN-Texas shall give prompt written
notice to Holdings and Holdings shall give prompt written notice to LIN-Texas,

satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by
it hereunder.

         5.8 NOTICE OF PROCEEDINGS. LIN-Texas and Holdings shall promptly notify
the other in writing upon becoming aware of any order or decree or any complaint

defend and resolve any such suit, proceeding or injunction brought against it so
as to permit the prompt consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, neither Holdings nor LIN-Texas
shall be required hereunder to appeal any injunction, to divest any of its
assets or to take any other specific step which in its sole judgement would not
be in its best interest under the circumstances.

         6.2 CONFIDENTIALITY.

            (a) Each party will not use or disclose to third parties (except as
may be necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
or as required by law, and then only with prior notice to the other party
hereto) this Agreement or any information received from the other party hereto
or their agents in the course of investigating, negotiating and performing the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that each party
may disclose such information to such party's officers, directors, employees,
lenders, advisors, attorneys and accountants who need to know such information
in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and who are informed by such party of the confidential nature of such
information. Nothing shall be deemed to be confidential information that: (i) is
already in such party's possession, provided that such information is not known
by such party to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other
obligation of secrecy to the other party hereto or another party, or (ii)
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
by such party or such party's officers, directors, employees, lenders, advisors,
attorneys or accountants, or (iii) becomes available to such party on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than another party hereto or its
advisors, provided that such source is not known by such party to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to the other party
hereto or another party, or (iv) is developed independently by either party
without resort to the confidential information of the other party. In the event
this Agreement is terminated and the purchase and sale contemplated hereby
abandoned, each party will return to the other party all information, including
all documents, work papers and other written confidential material, obtained by
such party from the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. The covenant contained in this Section 6.4(a) shall survive
for a period of five (5) years from the earlier of the Closing Date or the date
in which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.

            (b) No party shall publish any press release or make any other
public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be
withheld unreasonably; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Agreement shall prevent any party, after notification to the other party, from
making any filings with governmental authorities that, in its judgment, may be
required or advisable in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

         6.3 COOPERATION. Holdings and LIN-Texas shall cooperate fully with each
other and their respective counsel and accountants in connection with any
actions required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this
Agreement, and

Holdings and LIN-Texas shall execute such other documents as may be necessary or
desirable to obtain such Consents or to implement and consummate this Agreement,
and otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and to fulfill their obligations under this
Agreement. LIN-Texas and Holdings shall each diligently make, and cooperate with
the other in making, all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or cause to
be obtained prior to the Closing Date (a) all Consents without any change in the
terms or conditions of any Assumed Contract or License that could reasonably be
expected to be materially less advantageous to Holdings than those pertaining
under the Assumed Contract or License as in effect on the date of this Agreement
and (b) estoppel certificates, in customary form reasonably satisfactory to
Holdings and LIN-Texas, relating to the Real Property leased to LIN-Texas.
Holdings agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist LIN-Texas
in obtaining such Consents and such estoppel certificates, and to take all
commercially reasonable actions necessary or desirable to obtain such Consents
and such estoppel certificates, including without limitation, executing such
assumption instruments and other documents as may be required in connection with
obtaining the Consents and the estoppel certificates. LIN-Texas will cooperate
with Holdings in Holdings's efforts to obtain title policies relating to the
Real Property.

         6.4 MLB AND NHL APPROVAL.

            (a) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof (but not in
any event prior to the initial public announcement of the execution of this
Agreement), Holdings and, if applicable, LIN-Texas, shall apply to Major League
Baseball ("MLB"), the National Association of Professional Leagues, Inc.
("National Association"), the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, the
National Hockey League ("NHL") and to such other governing bodies as may be
necessary, for approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

with and pursuant to the requirements of MLB, the Office of the Commissioner of
Baseball, the National Association, the NHL, the applicable provisions of the
Constitution of the American League and any other applicable governing documents
or policies of such governing bodies) (the "MLB and NHL Approvals"). LIN-Texas
recognizes that such approval is within the sole discretion of MLB, the National
Association and NHL. LIN-Texas shall fully cooperate with Holdings in all
reasonable respects in seeking the MLB and NHL Approvals and shall furnish to
Holdings all such information in its possession as may be necessary for the
completion of the filings, reports or notifications to be filed with such
governing bodies. Holdings shall fully cooperate with LIN-Texas and its
respective partners in all respects in seeking the MLB and NHL Approvals,
including but not limited to, the prompt filing of all documents and information
reasonably required of Holdings by MLB, the Office of the Commissioner of
Baseball, the National Association, and NHL in connection therewith. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings and LIN-Texas shall, and
LIN-Texas shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its partners to, use
their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the MLB and NHL Approvals.
All reasonable fees, costs and expense incurred by LIN-Texas in connection with
seeking and obtaining the MLB and NHL Approvals shall be paid by Holdings within
a reasonable time following LIN-Texas's request therefor.


<PAGE>   27

            (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as
practicable following the date hereof, Holdings shall provide to LIN-Texas, and
LIN-Texas shall deliver to each of its partners, all necessary reports,
applications, questionnaires and other materials required to be submitted by
such partners in order to obtain the MLB and NHL Approvals (collectively, the
"MLB and NHL Approval Documentation"). LIN-Texas shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such partners to properly complete and return to Holdings, as
applicable, all such MLB and NHL Approval Documentation within the time period
specified therein, and Holdings shall as promptly as practicable thereafter
provide such MLB and NHL Approval Documentation to MLB, the Commissioner of
Baseball, the National Association, NHL and such other governing bodies included
therein. Each such partner shall be required to covenant, among other
requirements, that all information contained in documents or statements provided
by or on behalf of them to MLB, the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, the
National Association or NHL shall be true, complete and correct in all material
respects and shall not contain any untrue or misleading information.

         6.5 ACCESS TO BOOKS AND RECORDS. LIN-Texas shall provide Holdings
access and the right to copy for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing
Date any books and records relating to the Assets but not included in the
Assets. Holdings shall provide LIN-Texas access and the right to copy for a
period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date any books and records relating
to the Assets that are included in the Assets.

         6.6 CURE. For all purposes under this Agreement, the existence or
occurrence of any event or circumstance that constitutes or causes a breach of a
representation or warranty of LIN-Texas (including under the information
disclosed in the Schedules hereto) on the date such representation or warranty
is made shall be deemed not to constitute a breach of such representation or
warranty if such event or circumstance is cured in all material respects on or
prior to the Closing Date.

         6.7 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS.

            (a) Holdings, at its election and cost, may obtain any Phase I
environmental report for, as determined by Holdings, each owned site and for
each tower, office and studio site included in the Real Property. To the extent
Holdings so elects, Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain, and LIN-Texas shall cooperate with Holdings in obtaining, at Holdings's
expense, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date (which
Holdings shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to be within forty-five
(45) days) such Phase I environmental reports. If the Phase I environmental
report shows any potential environmental liability, Holdings shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain, and LIN-Texas shall and will cooperate with
Holdings in obtaining, at Holdings's expense, as soon as is reasonably
practicable after such potential environmental liability becomes known to
Holdings, a Phase II environmental report for each such parcel of Real Property
owned or leased by LIN-Texas with any potential environmental liability. The
Phase I and Phase II environmental reports are hereinafter referred to as the
"Assessments."


<PAGE>   28

            (b) Copies of each Assessment shall be delivered to LIN-Texas by
Holdings promptly after receipt by Holdings. LIN-Texas and Holdings agree that
the results of any Assessment carried out pursuant to this Section shall not be
disclosed to any third party, unless such disclosure is required by law;
provided, however, that each party may disclose such information to such party's
officers, directors, employees, lenders, advisors, attorneys and accountants who
need to know such information in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and who are informed by such party
of the confidential nature of such information.

            (c) If any Assessment reveals any reasonable potential of liability
under any Applicable Environmental Laws ("Environmental Noncompliance"),
Holdings shall be responsible for up to the first $50,000 of the costs of
remediation, and LIN-Texas shall be responsible for the costs of remediation in
excess of the first $50,000, but not to exceed a total of $50,000. If the cost
of such remediation exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate for all parcels subject to
this Section 6.7, then either Holdings or LIN-Texas may terminate this Agreement
as provided for in Sections 9.1 and 9.2; provided, however, notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent such remediation costs exceed $100,000 (i) LIN-Texas
may elect to pay such remediation costs in excess of $100,000 and shall make
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Holdings to pay such excess costs, and
in such event Holdings may not terminate this Agreement as a result of such
remediation costs exceeding $100,000; or (ii) Holdings may elect to pay such
remediation costs in excess of $100,000 and in such event LIN-Texas may not
terminate this Agreement as a result of such environmental costs exceeding
$100,000. If the Closing is not consummated hereunder, neither party shall have
any obligation to remediate hereunder.

            (d) If the cost of such remediation does not exceed $50,000, then
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Holdings shall
have no claim against LIN-Texas for the cost of such remediation.

         6.8 EMPLOYEES. The parties hereto agree that they will cooperate and
use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause Employees of the LIN-Texas with
respect to the Station's Business to physically report to work on the Closing
Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Holdings shall offer employment as

respect to the Station's Business immediately prior to the Closing Date and
physically reports to work on the Closing Date or, if absent from work on the
Closing Date solely by reason of vacation or regularly scheduled non-working

employment to each individual who is an Employee of the LIN-Texas immediately
prior to the Closing Date but is absent from work on the Closing Date for any
reason other than vacation or regularly scheduled days off. Each such Employee
shall be offered employment with Holdings in a position similar to such
Employee's last position with the LIN-Texas as of the date such Employee
physically returns to work duty. Each Employee of the LIN-Texas who is actively
at work in connection with the Station's Business as of the Closing Date or
returns to active work duty with the Station's Business

referred to as a "Transferred Employee", and the first date on which such
Transferred Employee is actively at work with the Station's Business on or after
the Closing Date shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Transfer Date" with
respect to such Transferred Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, unless otherwise provided under the terms of a written
employment or collective bargaining agreement, each Transferred Employee shall
be employed by Holdings on an at will basis and nothing shall prohibit Holdings
from terminating such employment at any time after the Closing.

         6.9 CONTINUATION OF BENEFITS. During the twelve (12) month period after

Transferred Employee), and, as to all other Transferred Employees, Holdings
shall maintain or cause to be maintained severance benefits at least as
favorable as those provided under the standard severance policy of LIN-Texas
applicable to such employees as in effect as of the Agreement Date until the

agreements and employment agreements with any Transferred Employees.

practice.

         6.12 WELFARE PLANS. Holdings shall (a) waive or cause to be waived all
limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with
respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred
Employees under any welfare plan that such employees may be eligible to
participate in after the Closing Date and (b) provide or cause to be provided to

take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to permit the distribution and
rollover, or the direct transfer (under Code Section 401(a)(31)), of the account

arrangements (but not for benefit accrual or any other purpose under such
programs or arrangements).

follows:

            (a) at any time by mutual written consent of LIN-Texas and Holdings;

            (b) by LIN-Texas, if LIN-Texas is not in default or breach in any
material respect of its obligations under this Agreement and Holdings is in
material breach of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation its
obligation to enter into the Closing in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof,
provided that LIN-Texas has given Holdings notice of such breach and Holdings

after the date of such notice and (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the
date of this Agreement;

            (e) by Holdings or LIN-Texas pursuant to Section 6.7.


<PAGE>   36

         9.2 PROCEDURE AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

            (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either or both
of Holdings and/or LIN-Texas pursuant to Section 9.1, prompt written notice
thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and this Agreement shall
terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without
further action by any of the parties hereto, but subject to and without limiting
any of the rights of the parties specified herein in the event a party is in
default or breach in any material respect of its obligations under this
Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein:

                (i) None of the parties hereto nor any of their respective
partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employers, agents, or Affiliates
(each, a "Related Party") (including any Related Party of the general partner of
the LIN-Texas) shall have any liability or further obligation to the other party
or any of their respective Related Parties pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to which termination has occurred, except for the obligations of
LIN-Texas and Holdings (but not including LIN-Texas's or Holdings's Related
Parties (or any Related Party of the general partner of the LIN-Texas)) as
stated in Sections 3.18, 4.5, 6.2, 9.2(b) and 11.1 hereof; and

                (ii) All filings, applications and other submissions relating to
the transactions contemplated hereby as to which termination has occurred shall,
to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or other person to which
made.

            (B) (i) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)
or 9.1(d), in addition to the amounts payable under Section 9.2(c) hereof,
LIN-Texas shall have the right to receive the Escrow Amount as liquidated
damages for and, in addition to the amounts provided under Section 9.2(c), as
the exclusive remedy of LIN-Texas as a consequence of Holdings's default (which
aggregate amount, together with the amount payable under Section 9.2(c) hereof,
the parties agree is a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered
by LIN-Texas and does not constitute a penalty, the parties hereby acknowledging
the inconvenience and nonfeasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy);

                (ii) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(c),
the Escrow Amount shall be returned to SSTI without limitation of any other
remedies available to Holdings or SSTI;

                (iii) Escrow Amount shall be returned to SSTI and none of
Holdings, SSTI or LIN-Texas shall have any recourse against the other, including
any right to pursue any legal or equitable remedy for breach of contract or
otherwise; and

                (iv) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or any
applicable law, neither Holdings, on the one hand, nor LIN-Texas, on the other
hand, may rely on the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 7
to be satisfied as a ground for termination of this Agreement by such party if
such failure was caused by such party's (or parties') failure to act in good
faith, or a breach of or failure to perform

<PAGE>   37

its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations in accordance
with the terms hereof.

            (c) Upon termination of this Agreement by any party for any reason,
SSTI shall pay to LIN-Texas, within ten (10) Business Days of termination, a
lump sum payment in an amount equal to the total aggregate amount paid by
LIN-Texas to SSTI or its Affiliate under the Sub-Programming Agreement.

         9.3 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of a default by either party that
results in a lawsuit or other proceeding for any remedy available under this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
other party of its reasonable legal fees and expenses (whether incurred in
arbitration, at trial, or on appeal).


SECTION 10. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION; CERTAIN
REMEDIES

         10.1 SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties of Holdings and
LIN-Texas contained herein shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1)
year after the Closing Date and shall terminate on such date except to the
extent that any claims for indemnification in respect of a breach of any such
representation or warranty is made on or before such date, in which case such
representation or warranty shall survive until the resolution of such claim.
Holdings's obligation to pay, perform or discharge the Assumed Liabilities shall
survive until such Assumed Liabilities have been paid, performed or discharged
in full. Any claim for indemnification in respect of a covenant or agreement of
Holdings or LIN-Texas hereunder to be performed before the Closing shall be made
before the expiration of the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date.
The covenants and agreements of LIN-Texas contained herein and to be performed

performed in any respect after the Closing Date must be made on or before such

in any respect after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing Date until fully
discharged and performed.

<PAGE>   38


                (ii) Any and all losses, liabilities or damages resulting from
or related to the Retained Liabilities; and

                (iii) Any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including
reasonable legal fees and expenses, incident to any action, suit, proceeding,
claim, demand, assessment or judgment incident to the foregoing or incurred in

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, LIN-Texas shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold Holdings or SSTI
harmless from and against any losses, liabilities or damages arising out of or
in any way related to (i) any actions or failure to act by SSTI under the
Sub-Programming Agreement, or (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty

                (ii) Holdings shall be entitled to indemnification only for

made by Holdings for indemnification hereunder, for whatever reason, other than
for claims for indemnification with respect to any Retained Liabilities, shall
be limited to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate, and Holdings
waives and releases, and shall have no recourse against, LIN-Texas in excess of
such amount as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, or
covenant of LIN-Texas contained herein, or otherwise arising out of or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or the operations of the
Station; provided, however, that such cap on LIN-Texas's indemnification
obligations hereunder shall not apply to claims by Holdings with respect to any
Retained Liabilities.

                (iii) No Related Party of Holdings shall have (A) any personal

warranty, covenant or agreement of Holdings contained herein or otherwise or (B)
personal obligation to indemnify LIN-Texas for any of LIN-Texas's claims
pursuant to Section 10.3(a), and LIN-Texas waives and releases and shall have no
recourse against any one of such Related Parties as the result of the breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Holdings contained herein

hereby or the operations of the Station.

                (iv) LIN-Texas agrees that the payment of any and all claims

such amount as a result of the breach by Holdings of any representation or

         10.4 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. The procedure for indemnification
shall be as follows:

            (a) The party claiming indemnification (the "Claimant") shall
promptly give notice to the party from which indemnification is claimed (the
"Indemnifying Party") of any claim, specifying in reasonable detail the factual
basis for the claim, the amount thereof, estimated in good faith, all with
reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this
Agreement in respect of which such indemnification claim shall have occurred. If
the claim relates to an action, suit, or proceeding filed by a third party
against Claimant, such notice shall be given by Claimant within ten (10)
business days after written notice of such action, suit, or proceeding was given
to Claimant.

            (b) With respect to claims solely between the parties, following
receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
have thirty (30) days to make such investigation of the claim as the
Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable, and the Claimant agrees to make
available to the Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives the
information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the claim. If the
Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of the
thirty (30)-day period to the validity and amount of such claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Claimant the full amount of the
claim, subject to the terms hereof. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party
do not agree within the thirty (30)-day period, the Claimant may seek
appropriate remedy at law or equity, as applicable, subject to the limitations
hereof.

            (c) With respect to any claim by a third party against the Claimant,
the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its own expense, to participate
in or assume control of the defense of such claim, and the Claimant shall
cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, subject to reimbursement for actual
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claimant as the result of a request by
the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying




<PAGE>   41

Party elects to assume control of the defense of any third-party claim, the
Claimant shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim at its
own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or
otherwise participate in the defense of any third-party claim, then the Claimant
may defend through counsel of its own choosing and (so long as it gives the
Indemnifying Party at least fifteen (15)-days' notice of the terms of the
proposed settlement thereof and permits the Indemnifying Party to then undertake
the defense thereof) settle such claim, action or suit, and to recover from the
Indemnifying Party the amount of such settlement or of any judgment and the
costs and expenses of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not compromise
or settle any third party claim, action or suit without the prior written
consent of the Claimant, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

            (d) If a claim, whether between the parties or by a third party,
requires immediate action, the parties will make every effort to reach a
decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.

            (e) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and without
expanding the total liability of Holdings or LIN-Texas hereunder, the
indemnification rights provided in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 shall extend to
the Related Parties of any Claimant although for the purpose of the procedures
set forth in this Section 10.4, any indemnification claims by such Related
Parties shall be made by and through the Claimant.


SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1 FEES AND EXPENSES. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
each party shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with the
