 WHEREAS,
the Executive and the LIN Companies are parties to the Employment Agreement;

 WHEREAS,
the parties desire to amend the Employment Agreement upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained
herein, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:
  1.           Defined
Terms.  Terms defined in the Employment Agreement and used
herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment
Agreement.
  2.           Amendments to Section
5(b).  The following shall be added as a new Section
5(b)(iv):
  “5(b)(iv)  Solely
with respect to calendar year 2009, Executive shall be eligible to receive a
bonus payment calculated as set forth in this paragraph (iv) using a baseline
bonus amount equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the Performance Bonus Amount
(the “2009 Results Bonus Base
Amount”).  The amount of the bonus awarded to Executive, if
any, under this paragraph (iv) shall be an amount calculated as a percentage of
the 2009 Results Bonus Base Amount (the “2009 Results Bonus
Percentage”).  The 2009 Results Bonus Percentage shall be the
percentage set forth on Schedule 5(b)(2009)hereto
that corresponds to the respective percentage by which Parent has achieved the
EBITDA target established by the Board of Parent for 2009, as determined by the
Compensation Committee.  For the avoidance of doubt, for calendar year
2009, Executive shall be eligible to receive a bonus payment in an amount up to
seventy five percent (75%) of the Performance Bonus Amount, which bonus payment,
if any, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the President and CEO of
the LIN Companies and the Compensation Committee, based upon such factors as
each may determine to be relevant, which may include the performance of the LIN
Companies and Executive, general business conditions, and the relative
achievement by Executive or the LIN Companies of any goals established by the
President and CEO, the Board of Parent or the Compensation
Committee.”
  3.           No Other Amendments;
Confirmation.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the
provisions of the Employment Agreement, as amended, are and shall remain in full
force and effect.
 
 4.           Counterparts.  This
Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of
separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  This Amendment may
be delivered by facsimile transmission of the relevant signature pages
hereof.
