      NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

                                       2

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties recognize that WYZZ is, and at all times shall be, responsible for programming WYZZ-TV and nothing in this Agreement is intended to detract from that responsibility.

      2. Payment to WYZZ-TV. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, WYZZ shall continue to be the owner of and shall be entitled to all revenues resulting from the sale of advertising and other time on WYZZ-TV before, during and/or after the Term; provided, however, in consideration of the Services, Nexstar shall be entitled to all revenues resulting from the sale of advertising and other time on the Stations during the Term remaining after the payment of the amounts set forth below:

            (a) Within seventy-five (75) days following the end of each month of a calendar year during the Term that BCF (as defined below) for such month, when combined with BCF for all prior months during such calendar year (other than any month which is outside the Term) is less than the Minimum BCF, Nexstar shall pay a fee to WYZZ in an amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of BCF for such month. Within seventy-five (75) days following the end of each month of a calendar year during the Term that BCF for such month, when combined with BCF for all prior months of such calendar year (other than any month which is outside the Term) is greater than the Minimum BCF, Nexstar shall pay a fee to WYZZ in an amount equal to 50% of BCF for such month; provided, in the first month of each calendar year in which this sentence applies, the fee with respect to the portion of BCF for such month which, when combined with BCF for all prior months during such year (other than any month which is outside the Term) is exactly equal to the Minimum BCF, shall equal thirty-five percent (35%) of such portion rather than fifty percent (50%). The amount payable pursuant to either of the prior two sentences (sometimes referred to as the Section 2(a) Amount) shall be reduced by the sum of (A) 100% of any costs incurred by Nexstar during the applicable month in maintaining, replacing or purchasing capital equipment which is owned by WYZZ or which is used solely in connection with the operation of WYZZ-TV, which costs have not otherwise been deducted in calculating BCF, plus (B) 50% of the cost incurred by Nexstar during the applicable month in maintaining, replacing or purchasing capital equipment which is not owned by WYZZ and which is used in connection with the combined operation of both Stations (Combined Capital Equipment), which costs have not otherwise been deducted in calculating BCF. The Minimum BCF shall be Three Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,700,000) for calendar year 2002 and shall be increased on January 1, 2003 and on each January 1 thereafter in an amount equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Philadelphia Regional Office - All Urban Consumers for the United States - All Items) (the PI) over the prior year. During the Term, Nexstar shall calculate BCF (the BCF Report) for each calendar month. The last day of each calendar month is referred to herein as an End Date. During the Term, Nexstar shall, within thirty (30) days of each End Date deliver to WYZZ-TV the BCF Report for the month ending on such End Date. Within ninety (90) days following each

                                       3

calendar year during the Term, Nexstar shall notify WYZZ of the BCF for such year (the Final BCF Report) and, subject to clause (h) of this Section 2, within thirty (30) days after such notification either Nexstar shall make a payment to WYZZ or WYZZ shall make a payment to Nexstar, as appropriate to true-up the payments made hereunder based on (i) the final determination of the BCF for the entire year, and (ii) the principle that the aggregate Section 2(a) Amount for the calendar year should be equal to (x) thirty-five percent (35%) of BCF for such calendar year up to the Minimum BCF for such year, plus (y) fifty percent (50%) of BCF for such calendar year in excess of the Minimum BCF for such year, minus (z) the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of any costs incurred by Nexstar during such calendar year in maintaining, replacing or purchasing capital equipment which is owned by WYZZ or which is used solely in connection with the operation of WYZZ-TV, and fifty percent (50%) of any costs incurred by Nexstar during such calendar year in maintaining, replacing or purchasing capital equipment which is not owned by WYZZ and which is used in connection with the combined operation of both Stations (in each case to the extent such costs were not otherwise deducted in the calculation of BCF). Furthermore, for the purposes of clarification, to the extent the Section 2(a) Amount for the calendar year is less than zero, the true-up shall be done such that WYZZ shall have paid to Nexstar the amount by which the Section 2(a) Amount is less than zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein for purposes of the period commencing December 1, 2001 and ending December 31, 2001, the Minimum BCF shall be One Dollar ($1.00).

            (b) In addition to the payment of the Section 2(a) Amount, Nexstar agrees to pay WYZZ, within 30 days following each calendar month of the Term, the amount set forth on Exhibit B hereto with respect to such calendar month

            (c) On or before the 5th day of each calendar month during the Term, Nexstar shall pay to WYZZ the fair market value rent (as set forth on Exhibit C hereto) of any real property owned by WYZZ (or any affiliate thereof) and used by the Stations; provided, no rent shall be due to WYZZ, Nexstar or any affiliate thereof with respect to any period where the Stations are using corresponding real property owned by Nexstar (or any affiliate thereof). By way of example, no rent shall be due to WYZZ or Nexstar under this clause (c) for use by one of the Stations of a broadcast tower owned by WYZZ if the other Station is using a tower owned by Nexstar.

            (d) For purposes of this Agreement, the term BCF is defined as Net





Income of the Stations, determined on a basis in accordance with GAAP, plus the sum of (X) (in each case to the extent deducted in calculating Net Income) (i) depreciation expense (ii) amortization expense (including amortization of program assets and amortization of deferred and stock based compensation) (iii) interest expense (iv) corporate overhead or management fees (v) income tax expense (vi) non-cash losses or expenses (including losses on disposals of assets and trade/barter expenses) (vii) Section 2(a) Amount expenses pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof (viii) any expenses (other than

                                       4

electric costs relating to the digital transmission of either Station's primary commercial broadcast signal) related to either Station's DTV Spectrum (ix) costs or expenses arising from any claims relating to the period prior to the Effective Date, and (x) any expenses or costs identified on Exhibit D hereto less the sum of (Y) (i) cash payments for program contract rights relating to the Stations (ii) payments made by Nexstar to WYZZ pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2, to the extent not otherwise taken into account in calculating Net Income, (iii) the aggregate fair market value rent (as set forth on Exhibit C hereto) of any real property owned by either Nexstar or WYZZ (or any affiliate of either) and used by the Stations to the extent the Stations are not using corresponding real property owned by each of the parties hereto (or any affiliate thereof) and which is not otherwise taken into account in calculating Net Income, (iv) any other rental income earned by either WYZZ or Nexstar from real property owned or leased thereby to the extent included in calculating Net Income (v) interest income to the extent included in calculating Net Income (vi) any rent paid with respect to any capital leases of the Stations (vii ) any revenues related to either Station's DTV Spectrum and (viii) any non-cash gains or revenues (including gains on disposals of assets and trade/barter revenue).

            (e) At all times during the Term and for six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement, WYZZ shall have the right, upon prior written request to Nexstar, to review all of the books and records of Nexstar relating to the BCF Report and the Distributions. Any such review must take place during normal business hours between Monday through Friday.

            (f) The parties agree that, to the extent permitted by law and by the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC, the Stations shall be operated in a manner consistent with industry standards for commercial broadcast television stations providing general entertainment programming and with a view toward maximizing the combined broadcast cash flow of the Stations.

            (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, with respect to any month, the Section 2(a) Amount is a negative amount, then WYZZ shall pay such negative amount to Nexstar within seventy-five (75) days following the end of such month (and Nexstar shall make no payment of a Section 2(a) Amount to WYZZ with respect to such month); provided, with respect to each of the first three (3) months of the Term, the amount if any, payable pursuant to this clause (g) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of accounts receivable retained by Buyer during such month pursuant to the first proviso to the last sentence of Section 10(d)(i).

            (h) On or prior to the 30th day after WYZZ's receipt of the Final BCF Report, WYZZ may give Nexstar a written notice (an Objection Notice) indicating its objections to the Final BCF Report. If WYZZ does not give Nexstar an Objection Notice within such 30-day period, then the Final BCF Report will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. If WYZZ gives a timely Objection Notice, then Nexstar and

                                       5

WYZZ will negotiate in good faith to resolve their disputes regarding the Final BCF Report. If Nexstar and WYZZ are unable to resolve all disputes regarding the Final BCF Report on or prior to the 30th day after the Objection Notice is given, then Nexstar and WYZZ will retain a big five accounting firm (either by mutual agreement or by random choice after eliminating any such firm which is conflicted or otherwise unable to participate) (the Independent Accounting Firm) to resolve the dispute as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days. The BCF for the applicable year as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm will be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and will constitute the BCF for such year for all purposes of this Section 2; provided, the parties will use reasonable efforts to limit the scope of the Independent Accounting Firm's review. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with its review of the Final BCF Report shall be paid one-half by Nexstar and one-half by WYZZ.

            (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, cash payments for program content rights relating to the Stations which were contractually due prior to the Effective Date shall for all purposes be treated as relating to the period following the Effective Date if, and only if, such payments were ninety days or less past due as of the Effective Date.

By way of example and not limitation, WYZZ shall be responsible for WYZZ-TV's compliance with all applicable provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC and all other applicable laws. Nexstar shall cooperate with WYZZ in taking such actions as WYZZ may reasonably request to assist WYZZ in maintaining WYZZ-TV's compliance with the Act, the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC, and all other applicable laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Nexstar recognizes that WYZZ has certain obligations to operate WYZZ-TV in the public interest and to broadcast programming to meet the needs and interests of WYZZ-TV's community of license and service area. Nothing in this Agreement shall abrogate or limit the unrestricted responsibility of WYZZ to discharge its obligations to the public and to comply with the Act and the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC, and WYZZ shall have no liability or obligation to Nexstar for taking any action that WYZZ deems necessary or appropriate to discharge such obligations or comply with such laws, rules, regulations or policies.

                  (iii) Suitability of Commercial Matter. All advertising spots and promotional material or announcements produced by Nexstar and utilized at WYZZ-TV shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local regulations and policies and shall be produced in accordance with quality standards established by Nexstar. If WYZZ determines that commercial announcement or promotional material supplied by Nexstar to WYZZ-TV is for any reason, in the exercise of WYZZ's sole discretion, unsatisfactory or unsuitable or contrary to the public interest, WYZZ may, upon written notice to Nexstar, suspend or cancel such commercial announcement or promotional material or delete any material contained in such commercial matter or promotional materials, and if WYZZ requests,&bbsp;Nexstar shall promptly provide suitable substitute commercial announcements or other announcements or promotional materials.

                  (iv) Political Advertising. WYZZ shall oversee and shall take ultimate responsibility for WYZZ-TV's compliance with the political broadcasting rules of the

                                       9

FCC and Sections 312 and 315 of the Act, or any similar provision which may be enacted during the term hereof imposing a duty upon broadcast station WYZZ with respect to broadcast of political advertising, including but not limited to the provision of equal opportunities, compliance with lowest unit charge requirements, and the provision of reasonable access to federal political candidates. Nexstar shall cooperate and consult with WYZZ, at Nexstar's expense, to assist WYZZ in complying with the Act and the political broadcasting rules of the FCC. Nexstar shall supply such information promptly to WYZZ as WYZZ reasonably deems necessary or useful to comply with the lowest unit charge and other applicable political broadcast requirements of federal law. To the extent that WYZZ deems it necessary or appropriate, Nexstar shall release advertising availabilities to WYZZ to permit WYZZ to comply with the political broadcasting rules of the FCC and Sections 312 and 315 of the Act, or any similar provision which may be enacted during the term hereof imposing a duty upon broadcast station licensees with regard to the broadcast of political advertising or programming.

Each such revised Annual Budget, if required, shall be completed no later than October 31, of each year during the Term hereof.

            (iii) In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve any disputes regarding any Annual Budget by December 15 of each year during the Term hereof, and either Party has notified the other in writing of the basis for its inability to agree on such Annual Budgets, then, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of clause (i) of this Section 11(a), the disputed items in the Annual Budget for the next succeeding year shall be the same as such disputed items were in the Annual Budget for the immediately preceding year, except for costs (e.g., sales commissions) that vary as a result of revenue.

If any provision of this Agreement shall become void, illegal, or invalid because of a decision or other action by any governmental or judicial authority with jurisdiction thereof, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without such offending provision so long as such remainder substantially reflects in all material respects the original agreement of the Parties. In such event, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement promptly on lawful substitute provisions in place of said offending provision to effectuate as nearly as possible their intent as expressed by this Agreement.

      22. Digital Spectrum. The FCC has authorized an additional 6 MHz of spectrum for digital television service (DTV Spectrum) to Nexstar for WMBD-TV and to WYZZ for WYZZ-TV. Except to the extent necessary to comply with law and the rules and regulations of the FCC with regard to the digital broadcast of the Stations' commercial broadcast schedules, each of the Parties shall retain all rights to utilize its DTV Spectrum in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FCC and shall bear all costs in connection with such use including, without limitation, any costs of equipment necessary for digital broadcasting.

      23. Further Assurances. WYZZ and Nexstar shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the performance and fulfillment of the terms and conditions of this Agreement in effectuating the intent of such Parties as expressed under this Agreement. From time to time, without further consideration, WYZZ and Nexstar shall execute and deliver such other documents and take such other actions as either Party hereto reasonably may request to effectuate such intent.

                                       20

This Agreement may be terminated by Nexstar by written notice to WYZZ (i) any time upon six (6) months prior notice, (ii) on six (6) months prior notice following the sale of WYZZ-TV by WYZZ, and/or (iii) if Nexstar is not then in material default or breach hereof, and WYZZ is in material breach of its representations or its material obligations hereunder, and has failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice from Nexstar; provided, no notice may be given pursuant to clause (i) of this section prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective Date.

      c. Termination due to invalidity or material change. Unless terminated pursuant to another provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate upon the first to occur of any of the following:

            (i) this Agreement 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 not been stayed or has become final and no longer subject to further administrative or judicial review;

            (ii) there has been a material change in FCC rules or policies that would cause this Agreement to be in violation thereof, and such change is in effect and not the subject of an appeal or further administrative or judicial review; provided, that in such event the Parties shall first negotiate in good faith and attempt to agree on an amendment to this Agreement that will provide the Parties with a valid, binding and enforceable agreement that conforms to the new FCC rules, policies or precedent; or

            (iii) the mutual, written consent of both Parties.

      d. Nexstar's Additional Termination Rights. Notwithstanding anything





herein to the contrary and in addition to Nexstar's termination rights in Section 24.a. above, Nexstar shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the event that WYZZ makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files or has filed against it a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or an arrangement for the benefit of creditors, or

                                       21

for the appointment of a receiver, trustee or similar creditor's representative for the property or assets of WYZZ under any federal or state insolvency law, which if filed against WYZZ, has not been dismissed within thirty (30) days thereof.

      e. WYZZ's Additional Termination Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and in addition to WYZZ's termination rights in Section 24.b. above, WYZZ shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the event that Nexstar makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files or has filed against it a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or an arrangement for the benefit of creditors, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee or similar creditors' representative for the property or assets of Nexstar under any federal or state insolvency law, which if filed against Nexstar, has not been dismissed within thirty (30) days thereof.

      f. WYZZ's Rights following Termination. (i) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, WYZZ may continue to use Nexstar's facility (to the extent of, and consistent with, the use immediately prior to the termination) for a period of six (6) months following the date of actual termination, without regard to any continuation which occurs as a result of the immediately succeeding sentence (the Continuation Period). If the Parties elect to continue the Services during the Continuation Period, then the Nexstar shall continue to provide the Services and pay the Section 2(a) Amount in accordance with this Agreement during the Continuation Period. If the Parties, or any one of them, elect(s) to discontinue the provision of Services during the Continuation Period, the WYZZ shall pay to the Nexstar a commercially reasonable rent (on a monthly basis in advance) for the use and occupancy of, or any part of, the Nexstar's facilities. WYZZ shall make all payments due to Nexstar hereunder within ten (10) days following receipt of an invoice from Nexstar for the payment of such rent. (ii) Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, any amounts due hereunder with respect to the period prior to the end of the Term shall be paid in accordance with the provisions hereof following the end of the Term.

      g. WYZZ's Right to Hire Certain Employees. Upon final termination of this Agreement, WYZZ shall have the obligation to hire any employee of Nexstar solely providing services to WYZZ-TV, including (without limitation) all of the account executives of Nexstar exclusively selling time on WYZZ-TV. The parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to any rights of WYZZ to hire any other employees of Nexstar who are providing services to both Stations. For a period of one year from the termination of this Agreement, neither Party hereto (or any of its affiliates) will directly or indirectly solicit to employ or employ any of the employees of the other Party hereto if such employees were employed by either of the Stations at any time during the six month period immediately preceding the termination of this Agreement.

      h. Joint Capital Equipment. Upon the final termination of this&sbsp;Agreement, the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding which party shall retain any Combined

                                       22

Capital Equipment purchased during the term hereof for use on both Stations, as well as any payment to be made by the retaining party to the other party after taking into account the allocation among the parties during the term hereof of the cost of acquiring and maintaining such Combined Capital Equipment, as well as the benefit of any depreciation deductions received by Nexstar with respect thereto.

      25. Indemnification.

      a. by Nexstar. Nexstar shall indemnify and hold harmless WYZZ from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages, and expenses, including any FCC fines or forfeitures (including reasonable legal fees and other expenses incidental thereto), of every kind, nature and description (collectively Damages) arising or resulting from or relating to (i) Nexstar's breach of any representation, covenant, agreement or other obligation of Nexstar contained in this Agreement and (ii) any action, which constitutes gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct taken by Nexstar or its employees and agents with respect to WYZZ-TV, or any failure by Nexstar or its employees and agents to take any action with respect to WYZZ-TV, including, without limitation, Damages relating to violations of the Act, or any rule, regulation or policy of the FCC, slander, defamation or other claims relating to the sale of advertising time on the Station (except where the Damages are caused by WYZZ's negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, or breach of its representations or obligations under this Agreement), from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

      b. by WYZZ. WYZZ shall indemnify and hold harmless Nexstar from and against any and all Damages arising or resulting from or relating to (i) WYZZ's breach of any representation, covenant, agreement or other obligation of WYZZ contained in this Agreement and (ii) any action taken, which constitutes gross





negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct by WYZZ or its employees and agents with respect to WMBD-TV, or any failure by WYZZ or its employees and agents to take any action with respect to WMBD-TV, including, without limitation, Damages relating to violations of the Act, or any rule, regulation or policy of the FCC, slander, defamation or other claims relating to programming provided by WYZZ or WYZZ's broadcast and sale of advertising time on WMBD-TV (except where the Damages were incurred by Nexstar's negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, or breach of any representation, covenant, agreement or other obligation contained in this Agreement), from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

      c. Indemnification Procedure. Neither WYZZ nor Nexstar shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section unless such claim for indemnification is asserted in a written notice delivered to the other Party, together with a statement as to the factual basis for the claim and the amount of the claim. Together with such notice or promptly following the delivery thereof, the Party making the claim (the Claimant) shall make available to the other Party (the Indemnitor) information relied upon by the

                                       23

Claimant to substantiate the claim. Such notice shall be given promptly following Claimant knowing or having reason to know about such claim; provided, the Indemnitor shall be relieved of a liability for Claimant's failure to provide notice only if, and to the extent, adversely impacted by such failure. The Indemnitor under this Section 26(c) shall have the right to conduct and control through counsel of its own choosing the defense of any third Party claim, action or suit (and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor), but the Claimant may, at its election, participate in the defense of any such claim, action or suit at its sole cost and expense; provided, that, if the Indemnitor shall fail to defend any such claim, action or suit, then the Claimant may defend through counsel of its own choosing such claim, action or suit, and (so long as it gives the Indemnitor at least fifteen (15) days' notice of the terms of the proposed settlement thereof and permits the Indemnitor to then undertake the defense thereof), Claimant may settle such claim, action or suit, and, if Claimant is entitled to be indemnified by Indemnitor hereunder, Claimant may recover from the Indemnitor the amount of such settlement or of any judgment and the costs and expenses of such defense. The Indemnitor 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.

      26. Damages; Specific Performance.

      a. In the event of a material breach by WYZZ of its obligations hereunder, Nexstar shall be entitled to seek monetary damages against WYZZ. The Parties recognize, however, that, given the unique nature of the Station and this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate Nexstar for any injury resulting from WYZZ's breach. Except to the extent such action would not be permitted by the rules and regulations of the FCC, Nexstar shall therefore be entitled, in addition to a right to seek and collect monetary damages, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If any action is brought by Nexstar to enforce this Agreement, WYZZ shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In addition, in the event of a material breach by WYZZ of its obligations hereunder, Nexstar shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and exercise its rights pursuant to Section 25(b) hereof (except that Nexstar may not assert consequential, special or punitive damages or any claim for lost profits).

      b. In the event of a material breach by Nexstar of its obligations hereunder, WYZZ shall be entitled to seek monetary damages against Nexstar. The Parties recognize, however, that, given the unique nature of the Station and this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate WYZZ for any injury resulting from Nexstar's breach. Except to the extent such action would not be permitted by the rules and regulations of the FCC, WYZZ shall therefore be entitled, in addition to a right to seek and collect monetary damages, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If any action is brought by WYZZ to enforce this Agreement, Nexstar

                                       24

shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In addition, in the event of a material breach by Nexstar of its obligations hereunder, WYZZ shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and exercise its rights pursuant to Section 25(a) hereof (except that WYZZ may not assert consequential, special or punitive damages or any claim for lost profits).

      c. In the event any Party files a lawsuit or institutes other formal legal action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be reimbursed by the other Party for all reasonable expenses incurred thereby, including reasonable attorney's fees.

     THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION WHICH MAY BE                             ENFORCED BY THE PARTIES.

                     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF WYZZ

      WYZZ hereby represents and warrants to Nexstar as follows:

      1L. Organization and Good Standing. WYZZ is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland and has full corporate power and authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to own and use the assets owned and used by it. WYZZ is qualified as a foreign corporation in the State of Illinois. WYZZ does not own any direct or indirect subsidiaries.

      2L. No Conflicts. Except as described on Schedule 2L to this Exhibit, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of WYZZ, (ii) violate any provision of applicable law, rule and regulation, or (iii) conflict with or result in a breach of, or give rise to a right of termination of, or accelerate the performance required by the terms of any judgment, court order or consent decree, or any material agreement, indenture, mortgage or instrument to which WYZZ is a Party or to which its property is subject, or constitute a default thereunder.

      3L. Real Property. Schedule 3L to this Exhibit contains a complete description of all real property, whether owned or leased (the Real Property Interests) (including street address, and WYZZ's use thereof) used in connection with the operation of WYZZ-TV. The Real Property Interests listed on Schedule 3L to this Exhibit comprise all interests in real property currently used by WYZZ and necessary to conduct the business and operations of WYZZ-TV as now conducted. Except as described on Schedule 3L to this Exhibit, WYZZ has good title to all Real Property Interests free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, covenants, easements, restrictions, encroachments, leases, charges, and other claims and encumbrances, which restricts WYZZ's interest in, or use of, the Real Property Interests, except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). Each leasehold or subleasehold interest is included on Schedule 3L to this Exhibit and is legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and in full force and effect. WYZZ is not in default, violation, or breach under any lease or sublease, and no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes (with notice or passage of time or both) a default, violation, or breach thereunder. To WYZZ's knowledge, WYZZ has not received any notice of a default, offset, or counterclaim under any lease or sublease with respect to any of the Real Property Interests. WYZZ enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession of the Real Property Interests; and so long as WYZZ fulfills its obligations under the lease therefor, WYZZ has enforceable rights to nondisturbance and quiet enjoyment against its lessor or sublessor and, except as set forth in Schedule 3L to this Exhibit, no third Party holds any interest in the leased premises with the right to foreclose upon WYZZ's leasehold or subleasehold interest. To WYZZ's knowledge, WYZZ has legal and practical access to all of the Real Property Interests. Except as

                                       1

otherwise disclosed in Schedule 3L to this Exhibit, all towers, guy anchors, ground radials, and buildings and other improvements included in the Real Property Interests are located entirely on the Real Property Interests listed in Schedule 3L to this Exhibit. All Real Property Interests (including the improvements thereon) (a) are in good condition and repair consistent with its current use, (b) are available for immediate use in the conduct of the business and operations of WYZZ-TV, and (c) comply in all material respects with all applicable material building or zoning codes and the regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction, except to the extent that the current use by WYZZ, while permitted, constitutes or would constitute a nonconforming use under current zoning or land use regulations. No eminent domain or condemnation proceedings are pending or, to WYZZ's knowledge, threatened with respect to any of the Real Property Interests.

            Permitted Encumbrances means (a) encumbrances of a landlord or other statutory liens not yet due and payable, (b) encumbrances arising in connection with equipment or maintenance financing or leasing under the terms of contracts disclosed pursuant to this Exhibit 1, (c) encumbrances for taxes not yet due and payable or which are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which an appropriate reserve is





maintained on the taxpayer's books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (d) or encumbrances which do not materially detract from the value of any of the assets of License or Nexstar or materially interfere with the use thereof.

      4L. Tangible Personal Property. Schedule 4L to this Exhibit contains a complete list and description of all of WYZZ's tangible personal property (the Personal Property) used or useful in the operation of WYZZ's Station. Except as noted on Schedule 4L, WYZZ owns and has good title to each item of Personal Property listed and described on Schedule 4L to this Exhibit. Except as otherwise noted on Schedule 4L to this Exhibit, none of the Personal Property owned by WYZZ and used in the operation of WYZZ-TV is subject to any security interest, mortgage, pledge, conditional sales agreement, or other lien or encumbrance, except for Permitted Encumbrances. With allowance for normal repairs, maintenance, wear and obsolescence, each material item of Personal Property is in good operating condition and repair, and is available for immediate use in the business and operation of WYZZ-TV. The Personal Property comprises all the tangible personal property currently used by WYZZ and necessary to conduct the business and operations of WYZZ-TV as now conducted.

      5L. FCC. WYZZ-TV is operated in material compliance with all the terms and conditions of all WYZZ-TV FCC authorizations and licenses, the Act, and applicable rules, regulations and policies of the FCC. All WYZZ-TV FCC authorizations and licenses (a true and complete list of which is set forth on Schedule 5L to this Exhibit, and true and complete copies of each of which have been delivered to Nexstar) have been validly issued and are valid and in full force and effect. The FCC authorizations and licenses listed on Schedule 5L to this Exhibit comprise all of the licenses, permits, and other authorizations required

                                       2

from any governmental or regulatory authority for the lawful conduct of the business and operations of WYZZ-TV in the manner and to the full extent as it is now conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 5L to this Exhibit, no application, action, or proceeding is pending for the renewal or modification of any of the FCC authorizations or licenses, and there is not now before the FCC any investigation or complaint against WYZZ or relating to WYZZ-TV, the unfavorable resolution of which would impair the qualifications of WYZZ to hold any FCC authorizations or licenses. Except as set forth on Schedule 5L to this Exhibit, there is no proceeding pending before the FCC, and WYZZ has received no notice of violation from the FCC with respect to WYZZ. Except as set forth on Schedule 5L to this Exhibit, WYZZ has received no order or notice of violation issued by any governmental entity which permits revocation, adverse modification or termination of any FCC authorization or license. Except as set forth on Schedule 5L to this Exhibit, none of the FCC authorizations or licenses is subject to any restriction or condition that requires any material change in the operation of WYZZ-TV as currently operated. The FCC authorizations and licenses listed in Schedule 5L to this Exhibit are currently in effect and, except as disclosed on the Schedules, are not subject to any liens or other encumbrances. No renewal applications are pending with respect to any of the FCC authorizations or licenses. All documents required by 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3526 to be kept in WYZZ-TV's public inspection files are in such file, and such file will be maintained in proper order and complete during the Term. WYZZ has filed all material reports and filings with the FCC, has registered its antennas, and has paid all regulatory fees.

      6L. Intellectual Property. Set forth on Schedule 6L to this Exhibit is a complete list of all trademarks, tradenames, patents, website URLs and other intellectual property used in connection with the operation of WYZZ-TV and owned by or licensed to WYZZ on the date hereof and, except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 6L to this Exhibit hereto, WYZZ owns such Intellectual Property free and clear of any royalty, lien, encumbrance or charge and does not interfere with the rights of others. WYZZ has not received any written notice or written claim that any such Intellectual Property is not valid or enforceable, or of any infringement upon or conflict with any patent, trademark, service mark, copyright or trade name of any third Party by WYZZ. Except as set forth on Schedule 6L to this Exhibit, WYZZ has not given any notice of infringement to any third Party with respect to any of the Intellectual Property, and no such infringement exists.

            (iii) WYZZ is not and has never been engaged in any unfair labor practice, and here is not now, nor within the past three (3) years has there been, any unfair labor practice complaint against WYZZ pending or, to WYZZ's knowledge, threatened before the National Labor Relations Board or any other comparable foreign or domestic authority or any workers' council.

            (iv) All Persons at WYZZ-TV classified by WYZZ as independent contractors do satisfy and have satisfied the requirements of law to be so classified, and WYZZ has fully and accurately reported WYZZ's payments to them on IRS Forms 1099 when required to do so.
