     3. Term.

     3.1. Initial Term.

     3.1.1 Subject to Section 3.2, the term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall
commence on the Effective Date (as defined below) and shall continue until the
Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, as applicable (each, as defined in

     3.1.2 For purposes of this Agreement, "Effective Date" shall mean, subject
to Section 3.2: (i) June 1, 2003, or (ii) if PTSC has exercised its right to

     3.2. Pampas Certificate.

     3.2.1 As a condition precedent to the commencement of the Term, which
condition may be waived in the sole and absolute discretion of AIC, AIC shall
have received from PTSC a certificate (the "LMA Effective Date Certificate"),
dated as of the Effective Date and signed on behalf of PTSC by its manager,
certifying that, as of the Effective Date, (i) the FCC Licenses (as defined in

the Station are in full force and effect and (ii) except for periods of
operation at less than full power on a temporary basis as a result of routine

                                       2

maintenance, the Station is broadcasting in the ordinary course of business
(collectively, the "LMA Effective Date Representations").

     3.2.2 If (i) PTSC does not deliver the LMA Effective Date Certificate
because one or more of the LMA Effective Date Representations fails to be true
and correct, in each case on the date that otherwise would have been the
Effective Date but for such failure and (ii} such failure can be cured, then
PTSC shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cure such failure as soon as
reasonably practicable, including, without limitation, using insurance proceeds
in accordance with Section 14.2.5, whereupon the Effective Date shall be
postponed until ten (10) Business Days after the delivery to AIC of the LMA

Restated Credit Agreement) and (y) the date that is six (6) months after the
payment in full of all amounts due under the PTSC Debt, including accrued and
unpaid interest thereon.

     4. Programming.

     4.1. Programming Generally. The Programming may include news, network
programs, syndicated programs, barter programs, paid-for programs,
locally-produced programs, advertising commercial matter (in program or spot
announcement forms), promotions (including on-air giveaways), contests and
public service information. The right to use the Programming and to authorize
its use in any manner and in any media whatsoever shall be, and remain, vested
solely in AIC, subject in all events to the rights, if any, of others in such
Programming.

     4.2. Public Service Programming. Pappas will retain sole responsibility for
the ascertainment of the problems, needs and concerns of residents of the
Station's community of license and service area. Upon the request of Pappas, AIC
will assist Pappas in ascertaining such problems, needs and concerns. AIC will
make a good faith effort to include in its Programming programs which are
responsive to such problems, needs and concerns. If, in Pappas' good faith
judgment, the Programming does not include programming sufficiently responsive
under the Communications Laws to ascertained community problems, needs and
concerns, then Pappas shall have the right and the obligation to broadcast such
additional programming, either produced or purchased by Pappas, as Pappas shall
reasonably determine to be appropriate in order adequately to respond to
ascertained community problems, needs and concerns (the "Pappas Programming").
AIC shall reimburse Pappas for the cost of any Pappas Programming if the FCC
Expert determines that Pappas in its good faith judgment

                                       3

<PAGE>

determined that the Programming did not include programming sufficient to
respond to the problems, needs and concerns of residents in the Station's
community of license and service area. Pappas Programming shall be shown in the
time period reserved by Pappas pursuant to Section 6 unless Pappas determines in
its good faith judgment that the Communications Laws require such Pappas
Programming to be broadcast at some other time.

     4.3. Children's Programming. Pappas, in cooperation with AIC, shall ensure
that educational and informational programming designed primarily for children
aged 16 years and younger is broadcast over the Station in compliance with the
Communications Laws. AIC will make a good faith effort to include in its
Programming programming designed primarily for children aged 16 years and
younger which complies with the Communications Laws. If, in Pappas' good faith
judgment, the Programming does not include sufficient programming designed
primarily for children aged 16 years and younger which complies with the
Communications Laws, then Pappas shall have the right and obligation to
broadcast such additional programming either produced or purchased by Pappas as
Pappas shall reasonably determine to be appropriate in order to comply with the
Communications Laws (the "Children's Programming"). AIC shall reimburse Pappas
for the cost of any Children's Programming if the FCC Expert determines that
Pappas in its good faith judgment determined that the Programming did not
include programming designed primarily for children aged 16 years or younger
sufficient to comply with the Communications Laws. Children's Programming shall
be shown in the time period reserved by Pappas pursuant to Section 6 unless
Pappas determines in its good faith judgment that the Communications Laws
require it to be broadcast at some other time.

     4.4. Additional Obligations.

     4.4.1 Pappas shall coordinate with AIC the broadcast of the Station's
hourly station identification and any other announcements required to be
broadcast by the Communications Laws.

     4.4.2 AIC shall cooperate with Pappas in ensuring compliance with the
Communications Laws governing uses of the Station's facilities by
legally-qualified candidates for election to public office, including compliance
with Pappas' obligation to provide reasonable access to the Pappas Station
Facilities (as defined in Section 6) by legally-qualified candidates for
election to federal public offices; to comply with the lowest unit charge
provisions of Section 315 of the Communications Act; and to provide a political
disclosure statement to potential political advertisers. AIC and Pappas shall
cooperate in the preparation of any materials setting forth terms and conditions
for the availability of political advertising time on the Station.

     4.4.3 Pappas shall maintain its public inspection files in accordance with
the Communications Laws. AIC shall, upon request by Pappas, provide Pappas with
information with respect to the Programming which is responsive to the problems,
needs and concerns of the community or which contains educational or
informational programming for children, so as to assist Pappas in the
preparation of required quarterly issues/programs reports and children's
programming reports, and AIC shall provide upon reasonable request other
information to enable Pappas to prepare other records, reports and logs required
by the FCC or other local, state or federal governmental authorities.

                                       4

     4.4.4 AIC will ensure that the Station shall operate showing the
Programming for the minimum operating hours of 6:00 a.m. through Midnight, seven
days per week, including the 6 MHz. digital channel, if applicable.

     4.4.5 All actions or activities of AIC and Pappas under this Agreement
shall be in accordance with (i) the applicable provisions of the Communications
Laws; (ii) all applicable federal, state and local regulations and policies; and
(iii) generally accepted quality standards in the U.S. broadcasting industry.

     4.5. Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement. Pappas has adopted a
Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement (the "Policy Statement"), a copy
of which appears as Exhibit A hereto and which is incorporated herein by
reference as though fully set forth herein. The Policy Statement may be amended
from time to time by Pappas, upon prior written notice to AIC. AIC agrees and
covenants to comply in all material respects with the Policy Statement, the
Communications Laws, and with all changes subsequently made by Pappas to the
Policy Statement or by any governmental authority pursuant to the Communications
Laws.

     5. Advertising and Programming Revenues. During the Term, AIC shall retain
all advertising and other revenues relating to the operation of the Station, and
all accounts receivable earned after the Effective Date, with respect to the
Station, including promotion-related revenues and retransmission consent
revenues, if any; provided, however, that Pappas shall retain the revenue
derived from the sale of any advertising on the Station during programs
broadcast by Pappas pursuant to Section 6. Pappas and AIC each shall have the
right, at its own expense, to seek copyright royalty payments for its own
programming. AIC may sell advertising on the Station in combination with the
sale of advertising on other television stations of AIC's choosing, subject to
compliance with applicable law.

     6. Station Facilities. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, throughout the Term, Pappas shall make the facilities of the
Station (the "Pappas Station Facilities") available to AIC for operation and
broadcast with the maximum authorized facilities (which facilities shall include
the Station's 6 MHz digital channel to the extent that a construction permit for
such digital facilities has been granted and construction of the Station's
digital facilities has been completed during the Term) twenty four (24) hours a
day, seven (7) days a week, subject to maintenance requirements; provided,
however, that Pappas reserves the right to retain up to three (3) hours per
broadcast week to broadcast (both on analog and digital spectrum) each Sunday at
a mutually agreed upon time between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Pacific
Time, Pappas' own public interest programming and announcements in order to meet
local needs and issues requirements. AIC hereby agrees to perform, without
expense to Pappas, all maintenance of all Pappas Station Facilities as necessary
for the Pappas Station Facilities to remain in good operating condition and
repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted). Any downtime in the Pappas Station
Facilities occasioned by any such maintenance, or by AIC's failure to perform
such maintenance, shall not be deemed to be a default or violation by Pappas of
this Section 6.

     7. Right of Access.

                                       5

<PAGE>

     7.1. Subject to Sections 4 and 9 hereof, Pappas shall provide AIC and AIC's
employees or agents with unfettered access to the Station in order to perform
their duties in connection with the production and transmission of the
Programming over the facilities of the Station. AIC shall have the right to
install at Pappas's premises, and to maintain throughout the Term, any microwave
studio/transmitter relay equipment, telephone lines, transmitter remote control,
monitoring devices or any other equipment necessary or convenient for the proper
transmission of the Programming on the Station, and Pappas and AIC shall take
all steps reasonably necessary to prepare and file any applications with the FCC
to effectuate such proper transmission.

     7.2. Without limiting the rights of AIC under any other Transaction
Document (as defined in the Settlement Agreement), from and after the date
hereof, upon the request of AIC, Pappas shall afford to the officers, employees
and authorized representatives of AIC (including independent public accountants,
attorneys and consultants) reasonable access during normal business hours, and
upon not less than 24 hours prior notice, to the offices, properties and
employees of the Station to the extent AIC shall reasonably deem necessary or
desirable in connection with preparing to exercise its rights hereunder and
shall furnish to AIC or its authorized representatives such additional
information concerning the Station as shall be reasonably requested. AIC agrees
that any such investigation and access shall be conducted in such a manner as
not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of Pappas.

     7.3. Commencing on the Effective Date and during the Term of this
Agreement, AIC shall have the right, at AIC's expense and in consultation with
Pappas, to relocate the Station's studio, control room facilities and offices to
premises owned or leased by AIC within the Station's designated market area (as
defined by Nielsen Media Research Company), and to transfer Station equipment
and/or facilities designated by AIC to such premises for use in the operation of
the Station; provided, however, that any such new studio location shall comply
with the Communications Laws, including, without limitation, Section 73.1125 of
the FCC Rules. If AIC leases any premises in connection with any relocation
described above, Pappas shall have the right to review such lease prior to its
execution to confirm that (i) such lease does not create any liability for the
Station or Pappas, and (ii) such lease provides AIC with the right to sublease
the premises to Pappas as contemplated by Section 12.5.3. In connection with any
such relocation as described above, AIC shall make available to Pappas adequate
space for Pappas' main studio facilities and adequate office space for the
Pappas Employees. Pappas shall ensure that AIC maintains the relocated main
studio in full compliance with the Communications Laws, and in material
compliance with all other applicable laws, and AIC shall assist Pappas in taking
such action as is necessary to maintain such compliance. AIC shall not take any
action under this Section 7.3 that would cause Pappas to violate in any material
respect the Communications Laws or any other applicable laws.

     8. Force Majeure. During the Term, any failure or impairment of the Pappas
Station Facilities or any delay or interruption in the broadcast of the
Programming, or failure at any time by Pappas to furnish the Pappas Station
Facilities, in whole or in part, for the broadcast of the Programming, solely
due to acts of God, force majeure, or due to causes wholly beyond the control of
Pappas, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, and Pappas shall not be
liable to AIC in connection therewith.

                                       6

<PAGE>

     9. Pappas Control of Stations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Agreement, Pappas shall have full authority, control and power
over the operation of the Station during the Term. Pappas shall retain control
over the policies, programming, finances, personnel and operations of the
Station, including the right to preempt, delay or delete any Programming that
Pappas, in good faith, deems to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to the
public interest and the right to take any other actions necessary for compliance
with the Communications Laws and all other federal, state or local laws. Pappas
shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the Communications Laws,
including FCC requirements with respect to ascertainment of community problems,
needs and concerns, children's programming, public service programming,
political broadcasting, main studio staffing, maintenance of public inspection
files and the preparation of quarterly issues/programs reports and children's
programming reports.

     10. Responsibility for Employees and Expenses.

     10.1. During the Term, Pappas shall employ two (2) full time employees (the
"Pappas Employees") at the main studio of the Station, one (1) of whom shall be
a manager, and both of whom shall report to and be accountable to Pappas, and
who shall be ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operations of the
Station. Pappas shall be responsible for paying the salaries, payroll taxes,
medical and other benefits and related costs of the Pappas Employees, and for
maintaining and paying the costs of appropriate insurance (including worker's
compensation and general liability insurance). Pappas also shall be responsible
for all expenses related to (i) transmitter site and studio site rent/mortgage
for the Station; (ii) transmitter site and studio site utilities for the
Station; (iii) all income taxes relating to Pappas's earnings from the
arrangements under this Agreement; (iv) all FCC regulatory fees for the Station;
(v) all taxes related to the KAZA Assets (as defined in the Option Agreement) or
the operation of the Station; and (vi) fees of Pappas' FCC counsel. AIC shall
employ and be responsible for the salaries, taxes and related costs and will
maintain appropriate insurance (including worker's compensation and general
liability insurance) for all personnel used in the operation and maintenance of
the Station, and for such other expenses related to the operation and
maintenance of the Station as are set forth in Schedule 10.1 hereto. AIC shall
either pay directly, or reimburse Pappas (within ten (10) days after receipt of
an invoice therefor), for all expenses listed on Schedule 10.1.

     10.2. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the Effective Date, AIC shall
notify Pappas whether it elects to offer to hire all, but not less than all, of
the employees of the Station who are identified on Attachment B, and any
employee hired to replace an employee identified on Attachment B (at the same
compensation level or a compensation level not greater than ten percent (10%)
greater than the employee being replaced), but specifically excluding (i) any
employees who have left the employment of Pappas between the date hereof and the
Effective Date; or (ii) the two employees who are designated as the Pappas
Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AIC shall not be required to offer to
hire any employee of the Station who (A) in the case of an hourly or salaried
employee, has received an increase in compensation in excess of ten percent
(10%) of such hourly or salaried employee's annualized rate of compensation, or
(B) in the case of an employee whose compensation includes a commission
component, an increase of ten percent (10%) or more in such commissioned
employee's annualized commission percentage rate, in either case, between
January 29, 2003 and the Effective Date, and AIC's decision not to offer to hire
any such employee shall not

                                       7

<PAGE>

preclude AIC from offering to hire all other employees of the Station. Within
two (2) business days of a request by AIC (but not earlier than April 1, 2003),
Pappas shall make available, on a confidential basis, a current list of Station
employees and their compensation (including commission rate) as of January 29,
2003 and as of April 1, 2003 for each such employee. Except as provided above
and except with respect to the Pappas Employees, AIC shall be required to offer
to each Pappas employee at the Station a starting salary (including commission
rate) comparable to that employee's then-current salary. AIC shall otherwise
have the sole and exclusive right to establish the wage and any other
compensation and all other terms and conditions of employment of any employee
hired by AIC. For purposes of employee benefits under the employee benefit plans
of Pappas, all employees who accept employment with AIC shall be considered
terminated from Pappas as of the Effective Date, shall be considered new hires
for all purposes of AIC's employee benefits plans, programs and practices, and
shall not be entitled to receive from AIC credit for any accrued vacation days,
sick days, personal days or other such days with respect to their period of
employment with Pappas. Any employee of Pappas that AIC is not required to offer
to hire hereunder, or that does not accept AIC's offer of employment, shall
remain the obligation of Pappas. Pappas acknowledges and agrees that it, and not
AIC, is and will remain solely responsible for any and all legal obligations and
liabilities under all applicable employment, labor, tax, benefit and other laws
and agreements in connection with any insurance (including COBRA), supplemental
pension, deferred compensation, retirement and any other benefits and payments,
and related costs, premiums and claims, due, to become due, committed or
otherwise promised to any person who, as of the Effective Date, is a former
employee, current employee, officer, director, or independent contractor of
Pappas, relating to the period up to and including the Effective Date. Pappas
also shall be responsible for providing any notice required by the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. ss. 2101 et. seq., or any
state statute or local ordinance requiring notice to terminated or laid off
employees, whether such notice is required to be given before or after the
Effective Date. AIC shall assume responsibility or sponsorship for no employee
benefit plans, programs or practices, whether or not set forth in writing,
maintained by Pappas at any time and shall not be obligated to pay any benefits
accrued under any such plans, programs, or practices. Pappas and AIC acknowledge
and agree that the AIC is not a successor employer of Pappas.

     10.3. Upon receipt of the SCT Concurrence (as defined in the Settlement
Agreement), AIC shall, during the Term, pay on behalf of PTSC the reasonable
costs (the "Construction Costs") incurred during the Term in connection with the
acquisition, construction and installation by PTSC of the tower, related
transmitter and other facilities required to operate digital channel 47, KAZA-DT
(the "Digital Station"). The parties hereby acknowledge and confirm that the sum
of U.S. Two Million Five Hundred Eighty-One Thousand Dollars ($2,581,000) set
forth in Schedule A to the Status Quo Agreement and Order entered in the
Delaware Action (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) on August 20, 2002
constitutes the estimated budget for the construction of the Digital Station
(the "Project Budget"). Prior to the commencement of the construction of the
Digital Station, PTSC shall provide AIC with a project timetable (the "Project
Timetable") and any modifications to the Project Budget then known to PTSC.
Following commencement of the construction of the Digital Station and until
completion of construction, PTSC shall submit to AIC monthly reports (each, a
"Monthly Report") setting forth in reasonable detail (including, to the extent
available, supporting documentation therefor) the Construction Costs incurred in
the relevant month. AIC shall pay to, or for the account of, PTSC the total
amount of the Construction Costs set forth in each Monthly Report as follows:
(1)

                                       8

<PAGE>

with respect to any invoice from a third party relating to Construction Costs
incurred for the period included in such Monthly Report, in accordance with the
terms specified in such invoice; and (2) with respect to any Construction Costs
previously paid or to be paid directly by PTSC, within fifteen (15) days
following receipt of such Monthly Report. Notwithstanding the above, AIC shall
not be obligated to pay Construction Costs, in the aggregate, in excess of U.S.
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) unless such excess amounts are approved as
reasonable cost overruns by the FCC Expert.

     11. Indemnification.

     11.1. AIC shall indemnify, defend and hold Pappas, its partners, members,
subsidiaries, affiliated companies, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, successors and assigns (each of the foregoing being a "Pappas
Indemnitee") free and harmless from any and all Losses and Expenses resulting
from or relating to (i) the broadcast by Pappas over the Station of the
Programming, (ii) AIC's breach of any warranty, undertaking, representation or
agreement made or entered into by AIC hereunder, or (iii) any other matters
arising out of or related to AIC's operation of the Station or use of the Pappas
Station Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AIC shall not be liable for
loss of profits or consequential or indirect damages.

     11.2. Pappas shall indemnify, defend and hold AIC, its partners and its
subsidiaries and affiliated companies and their officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors and assigns (each of the foregoing being an "AIC Indemnitee")
free and harmless from any and all Losses and Expenses resulting from or
relating to (i) the broadcast over the Station by Pappas of programming other
than the Programming; (ii) liabilities that arise as a result of Pappas's
alteration of any and/or all Programming prior to broadcast by Pappas; (iii) any
liabilities with respect to (A) the Pappas Employees, (B) the current or former
employees or directors or independent contractors of Pappas or their respective
beneficiaries, in each case relating to the period up to and including the
Effective Date or (C) the business and operations of the Station prior to the
Effective Date other than any liabilities resulting from the broadcast by Pappas
of programming provided to the Station by AIC under any affiliation agreement
between AIC and Pappas; or (iv) Pappas's breach of any warranty, undertaking,
representation or agreement made or entered into by Pappas hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pappas shall not be liable for loss of profits or
consequential or indirect damages.

     11.3. Notice of Claims; Third Person Claims; Certain Definitions.

     11.3.1 Any Pappas Indemnitee or AIC Indemnitee seeking indemnification
hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall give promptly to the party obligated
to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the "Indemnitor") a
written notice (a "Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail the facts
giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such
Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the
amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any
other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection
herewith upon which such claim is based. The failure of any Indemnified Party to
give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 11.3.1 shall not
affect such Indemnified Party's rights under this Section 11 except to the
extent such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and

                                       9

obligations of the Indemnitor. After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant
hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be
entitled under this Section 11 shall be determined: (A) by the written agreement
between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (B) by a final judgment or
decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (C) by any other means to
which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or
decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall
have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall
have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of
proof in establishing the amount of Losses and Expenses suffered by it.

     11.3.2 In order for a party to be entitled to any indemnification provided
for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Claim or
demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party, such Indemnified
Party must notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the
third Person Claim promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written
notice of the third Person Claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall
promptly deliver to the Indemnitor copies of all notices and documents
(including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the third
Person Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a party be physically served
with a complaint with regard to a third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party must
notify the Indemnitor with a copy of the complaint within five (5) Business Days
after receipt thereof and shall deliver to the Indemnitor within seven (7)
Business Days after the receipt of such complaint copies of notices and
documents (including court papers) physically served upon the Indemnified Party
relating to the third Person Claim. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give
the Claim Notice promptly (or in five (5) Business Days in the case of service
of a complaint upon the Indemnified Party) as required by this Section 11.3.2
shall not affect such Indemnified Party's rights under this Section 11 except to
the extent such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of
the Indemnitor.

     11.3.3 In the event of the initiation of any legal proceeding against the
Indemnified Party by a third Person, the Indemnitor shall have the sole and
absolute right after the receipt of notice, at its option and at its own
expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to control, defend
against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim or demand which
relates to any loss, liability or damage indemnified against hereunder;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such
proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense. The parties hereto
agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense,
negotiation or settlement of any such Claim or demand. To the extent the
Indemnitor elects not to defend such Claim or demand, and the Indemnified Party
defends against or otherwise deals with any such Claim or demand, the
Indemnified Party may retain counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor,
at the expense of the Indemnitor, and control the defense of such Claim or
demand. Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party may settle any such
Claim or demand which settlement obligates the other party to pay money, to
perform obligations or to admit liability without the consent of the other
party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. After any final judgment or
award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative
agency of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has
expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to
each separate matter alleged to be indemnified by the Indemnitor hereunder, the
Indemnified

                                       10

<PAGE>

Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it
with respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums for
which indemnification under this Section 11 is provided so owing to the
Indemnified Party by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier's check within
thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.

     11.3.4 In any case where an Indemnified Party actually recovers from third
Persons any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an Indemnitor
has indemnified it pursuant to this Section 11, such Indemnified Party shall
promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the amount so recovered (after deducting
therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such
recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by
the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such
matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnitor in pursuing or defending
any Claim arising out of such matter.

in Section 15 hereof.

     12.2.4 All payments required by Sections 12.2.2 or 12.2.3 shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds denominated in U.S. dollars to such
bank account or accounts as is/are designated by Pappas for such purposes not

     12.2.5 The payments referenced to in Section 12.2.2 and 12.2.3 shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of Pappas in respect of a Breach by AIC of this
Agreement for any alleged loss attributable to any right to, or expectation of
receiving the "Step-Up Amount", being defined as the amounts payable as
Additional Quarterly Consideration pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of
"Quarterly Consideration" following the Extension Period Effective Date (as set
forth in Attachment A hereto) (that is, the difference between the amounts set

liquidated damages solely for the alleged loss of the Step-Up Amount and after
having considered carefully the anticipated and actual loss of the Step-Up
Amount that would be incurred in such circumstance as a result of a Breach by
AIC, the difficulty of ascertaining at this time the actual amount of damages,
special and general, that Pappas would suffer as a result of the loss of the
Step-Up Amount, and the inconvenience or nonfeasibility of otherwise obtaining
an adequate remedy in such event. The provision of liquidated damages for the
loss to Pappas of the Step-Up Amount as a result of AIC's Breach shall have no
effect whatsoever on any other right of Pappas for any remedy or remedies for
payment, indemnification or other damages available to it under this Agreement
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

     12.3. Timely Payment of PTSC Debt. Upon the payment in full of the PTSC

action by the parties and shall be void ab initio.

     12.4. Consummation of Option. Upon the Closing (as such term is defined in
the Option Agreement) contemplated by the Option Agreement, this Agreement shall
terminate automatically without any further action by the parties.

     12.5. Liabilities Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof,

     12.5.1 AIC shall be responsible for all liabilities, debts and obligations
of AIC accrued in connection with the purchase of air time and transmission
services on the Station including accounts payable, barter agreements and
unaired advertisements, but not for Pappas's federal, state, and local tax
liabilities associated with AIC's payments to Pappas as provided for herein.

     12.5.2 Pappas shall not be entitled to any further payments under Section
2, Attachment A or otherwise under this Agreement, except (i) for payments due
under this Agreement through the date of termination and (ii) that Pappas shall
be entitled to continue to receive such payments in the event that this

     12.5.3 If this Agreement is terminated by Pappas pursuant to Section
12.2.1, or is terminated pursuant to Section 13, in either case before the
Cut-Off Date or the Extended Cut-Off Date, if applicable (as such terms are
defined in the Option Agreement), and if AIC does not deliver an Option Exercise
Notice pursuant to the Option Agreement, then AIC shall make available to
Pappas, at Pappas' expense, studio and control room facilities and equipment
sufficient to operate the Station as it is then being operated for a period of
up to six (6) months after such termination, at the election of Pappas. If,
after such termination, AIC delivers an Option Exercise Notice pursuant to the
Option Agreement, AIC shall make available to Pappas, at AIC's expense, studio
and control room facilities and equipment sufficient to operate the Station as
it is then being operated until the Closing under the Option Agreement or, if
there is no Closing under the Option Agreement, for a period continuing up to
six (6) months after the Cut-Off Date or Extended Cut-Off Date, if applicable
(as such terms are defined in the Option Agreement), at the election of Pappas.
Pappas must provide AIC written notice within ten (10) days after termination of
this Agreement that it desires AIC to make such studio, control room facilities
and equipment available to Pappas. AIC shall have no responsibility to provide
Pappas with replacement real or personal property to permit operation of the
Station from a location or utilizing facilities independent of AIC's premises or
facilities unless such property was actually used by AIC in the operation of the
Station. Upon termination of this Agreement, AIC shall return to Pappas any
equipment and other personal property that (i) has not been retired from service
with Pappas' consent and was (ii) owned by Pappas and used by AIC during the
Term hereof. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than pursuant
to Section 12.2.1 or Section 13 and other than as a result of a Closing under
the Option Agreement, Pappas shall have the right to sublease any leased space
then being used by AIC in the operation of the Station for a period of up to six
(6) months following the Term, including the use of the studio, control room
facilities and personal property used by AIC to operate the Station.

     12.5.4 Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, except as
specifically provided in Section 12.2.5 with respect to the Step-Up Amount,
termination of this Agreement shall not extinguish any rights of either party as
may be provided by Section 11, Section 18.10 and Section 18.11 hereof.

     13. Local Marketing Agreement Challenge. If this Agreement is challenged in
whole or in part at or by a governmental authority or judicial forum, counsel
for Pappas and counsel for AIC shall jointly defend this Agreement and the
parties' performance hereunder. If this Agreement is declared invalid or illegal
in whole or in substantial part by a ruling, order or decree of a Governmental
Authority or judicial forum, and such ruling, order or decree has become
effective, then the parties shall endeavor in good faith to reform the Agreement
as necessary. If the parties are unable to reform this Agreement within thirty
(30) days of the effective date of such ruling, order or decree, then this
Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further liability to
the other except as may be provided by Sections 11 and 12.5 hereof. For the
avoidance of doubt, no party will have any liability for a breach of a
representation or warranty based on a determination of illegality or invalidity
under this Section 13.

     14. Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

     14.1. Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Pappas.

         (i)   Each of PTSC and PSC License has the requisite limited liability
               company power and authority to execute and deliver this

               and PSC License and do not and will not require any further
               authorization or consent of either of PTSC or PSC License. This
               Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of PTSC
               and PSC License enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
               as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium,
               insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting or
               limiting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and
               except as such enforceability is subject to general principles of
               equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
               in a proceeding in equity or at law).

         (iii) None of the execution, delivery and performance by either of
               PTSC or PSC License of this Agreement, the consummation by either
               of PTSC or PSC License of any of the transactions contemplated

               fulfillment by either of PTSC or PSC License of, the terms,
               conditions and provisions hereof will:

               (A)  conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions
                    or provisions of, or constitute a default, an event of
                    default or an event creating rights of acceleration,
                    termination or cancellation or a loss of rights under, or
                    result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (as defined
                    in the Option Agreement) upon any of the Purchased Assets
                    (as defined in the Option Agreement) under, the certificate

                    (as defined in the Option Agreement), any Governmental
                    Permit (as defined in the Option Agreement) or any Order (as
                    defined in the Option Agreement) to which PTSC or any of its
                    Subsidiaries (as defined in the Option Agreement) is a party
                    or to which any of the Purchased Assets (as defined in the
                    Option Agreement), the Station or the Business (as defined
                    in the Option Agreement) is subject or by which Pappas or
                    any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Option Agreement)
                    is bound, or any Requirement of Law (as defined in the
                    Option Agreement) affecting PTSC, any of its Subsidiaries
                    (as defined in the Option Agreement), any of the Purchased
                    Assets (as defined in the Option Agreement), the Station or
                    the Business (as defined in the Option Agreement) except for
                    any such conflicts, breaches or other occurrences of the
                    type referred to above, which would not individually or in
                    the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in
                    the Option Agreement) or prevent the consummation by each of
                    PTSC and PSC License of the transactions contemplated
                    hereby.

               (B)  require the approval, consent, authorization or act of, or
                    the making by PTSC or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in
                    the Option Agreement) of any declaration, filing or
                    registration with, any third party or any Governmental
                    Authority, except for such of the foregoing as are necessary
                    pursuant to the HSR Act (as defined in the Option
                    Agreement), the Communications Act or the rules and
                    regulations of the FCC, and except for any such approvals,
                    consents, authorizations or other actions of the type
                    referred to above which would not individually or in the
                    aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the
                    Option Agreement) or prevent the consummation by each of
                    Pappas of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     14.1.2 Authorizations. During the Term, either PTSC or PSC shall own and
hold all licenses and other permits and authorizations necessary for the
operation of the Station as presently conducted (including licenses, permits and
authorizations issued by the FCC), and such licenses, permits and authorizations
shall be in full force and effect for the entire Term hereunder, unimpaired by
any acts or omissions of Pappas, its principals, employees or agents except
where the failure to own and hold such licenses, permits and authorizations or
the failure of such licenses, permits and authorizations to be in full force and
effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Option
Agreement).

     14.1.3 Broadcast Obligations. Pappas has no agreement, contract, commitment
or understanding to broadcast any programming (including paid programming) on
the Station which would be in effect for more than 30 days after the Effective
Date. After the date hereof, except as contemplated by this Agreement or the
Amended and Restated Affiliation Agreement (as defined therein), Pappas shall
not incur any programming obligations which would be in effect for more than 30
days after the Effective Date for the Station without the prior written consent
of AIC. AIC shall be obligated to broadcast any such programming and shall be
entitled to receive any revenue relating to such programming which is scheduled
to be broadcast up to 30 days after the Effective Date.

     14.1.4 Pappas Control. Pappas and AIC agree that, for the Term, Pappas
shall maintain ultimate control over the Station's facilities, including
specifically control over the Station's finances, personnel and programming, and
nothing herein shall be interpreted as depriving Pappas of the power or right of
such ultimate control.

     14.1.5 Insurance. Pappas shall maintain in full force and effect throughout
the Term insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or
associations covering such risks (including fire and other risks insured against
by extended coverage, public liability insurance, insurance for claims against
personal injury or death or property damage and such other insurance as may be
applicable) and in such amounts as it currently has in place. AIC shall be
listed as an additional insured on such insurance policies. Any insurance
proceeds received by Pappas in respect of damaged property owned or leased by
Pappas shall be used to repair or replace such property. Pappas has presented to
AIC prior to the date hereof certificates of insurance or binders for such
insurance policies.

     14.1.6 Compliance with Applicable Law. Pappas covenants that the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be in material
compliance with,

                                       16

<PAGE>

and shall not violate in any material respect, any applicable laws or any
applicable rules, regulations or orders of the FCC or any other Governmental
Authority and Pappas acknowledges that AIC has not urged, counseled, or advised
the use of any unfair business practice.

     14.2. Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants of AIC and TVA.

     14.2.1 Authority; No Conflicts

         (i)   Each of AIC and TVA has the requisite corporate power and
               authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate
               the transactions contemplated hereby and to comply with the
               terms, conditions and provisions hereof.

         (ii)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each
               of AIC and TVA have been duly authorized and approved by all
               necessary corporate action of each of AIC and TVA and does not
               require any further authorization or consent of either of AIC or
               TVA. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of
               each of AIC and TVA enforceable in accordance with its terms,
               except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
               moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
               affecting or limiting the enforcement of creditors' rights
               generally and except as such enforceability is subject to general
               principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability
               is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

         (iii) None of the execution and delivery by either of AIC or TVA of
               this Agreement, the consummation by either of AIC or TVA of any
               of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by either
               of AIC or TVA with or fulfillment by either of AIC or TVA of the
               terms, conditions and provisions hereof will:

               (A)  conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions
                    or provisions of, or constitute a default, an event of
                    default or an event creating rights of acceleration,

                    under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of AIC or
                    TVA, any indenture, note, mortgage, lease, guaranty or
                    material agreement, or any Order (as defined in the Option
                    Agreement), to which AIC or TVA is a party or any of the
                    assets of AIC or TVA is subject or by which AIC or TVA is
                    bound, or any Requirement of Law (as defined in the Option
                    Agreement) affecting AIC or TVA or its assets except for any
                    such conflicts, breaches or other occurrences of the type
                    referred to above, which would not individually or in the
                    aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business of
                    AIC or TVA or prevent the consummation by AIC or TVA of the
                    transactions contemplated hereby; or

               (B)  require the approval, consent, authorization or act of, or
                    the making by AIC or TVA of any declaration, filing or
                    registration with, any third party or Governmental
                    Authority, except for such of the foregoing as are necessary
                    pursuant to the HSR Act (as defined in the Option
                    Agreement),

                  the Communications Act or the rules regulations and policies
                  of the FCC, and except for any such approvals, consents,
                  authorizations or other actions of the type referred to above
                  which would not individually or in the aggregate have a
                  material adverse effect on the business of AIC or TVA or
                  prevent the consummation by AIC or TVA of the transactions
                  contemplated hereby.

     14.2.2 Compliance with Applicable Law. AIC covenants that the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement and its furnishing of Programming shall
be in material compliance with, and shall not violate in any material respect,
any applicable laws or any applicable rules, regulations, or orders of the FCC
or any other governmental authority, including without limitation, Section
73.1740(a)(2) of the FCC Rules, and AIC acknowledges that Pappas has not urged,
counseled, or advised the use of any unfair business practice.

     14.2.3 Handling of Complaints. AIC shall promptly advise Pappas of any
public or FCC complaint or inquiry that AIC receives concerning the Programming
and shall cooperate with Pappas and take all actions as may be reasonably
requested by Pappas in responding to any such complaint or inquiry.

     14.2.4 Copyright and Licensing. AIC represents and warrants to Pappas that
AIC has and shall have throughout the Term full authority to broadcast the
Programming on the Station and that AIC shall not broadcast on the Station any
material in violation of the U.S. copyright laws. All music supplied by AIC for
broadcast on the Station shall be: (i) licensed by ASCAP, SESAC or BMI; (ii) in
the public domain; or (iii) cleared at the source by AIC.

     14.2.5 Information For FCC Reports. Upon request by Pappas, AIC shall
provide in a timely manner any such information in its possession or prepare
such information to provide to Pappas which shall enable Pappas to prepare, file
or maintain the records and reports required by the FCC.

     14.2.6 Must-Carry. AIC shall assist Pappas in determining whether
additional must-carry rights become available to the Station and, to the extent
that such rights become available, AIC shall cooperate with and assist Pappas in
making valid must-carry elections or entering into valid retransmission consent
agreements to take full advantage of such rights. AIC shall not take any actions
the purpose of which is to jeopardize in any material respect the Station's
cable carriage, satellite carriage or any other rights it might have with
respect to must carry or retransmission consent rights.

     14.2.7 Compliance with Leases. AIC shall comply in all material respects
with the terms of all material leases and material station agreements as
delivered to AIC by PTSC under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and
any liability resulting from AIC's failure to so comply shall be the
responsibility of AIC.

     14.2.8 Insurance. AIC shall maintain in full force and effect throughout
the Term insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or
associations covering such risks (including fire and other risks insured against
by extended coverage, public liability insurance, insurance for claims against
personal injury or death or

                                       18

<PAGE>

property damage and such other insurance as may be applicable) as is
conventionally carried by an operator of a full power television broadcast
station, but in any event at least comparable to the coverage currently
maintained by Pappas, a certificate with respect to which has been previously
delivered. Pappas shall be listed as an additional insured on such insurance
policies. Any insurance proceeds received by AIC in respect of damaged property
shall be used to repair or replace such property.

     15. Dispute Resolution.

     15.1. Disputes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any and
all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of, relating to, or in
connection with, the performance of the parties' respective obligations under
this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any alleged violation by either
of the parties of the rules, regulations, or policies of the FCC or of
technical, programming, or other broadcast industry standards or practices
("Contract Claims"), will be determined and resolved solely in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section 15.

     15.2. FCC Expert. The parties have appointed R. Clark Wadlow, Esq., who has
significant personal and professional experience and knowledge of the television
broadcast industry and applicable FCC rules, regulations, and policies, as an
arbitrator (the "FCC Expert") to resolve all Contract Claims, including awarding
monetary damages.

     15.3. Procedures. The FCC Expert will arbitrate all Contract Claims as set
forth in this Section 15.3. The arbitration of a Contract Claim will be
commenced by the submission of a statement of claim in writing by either party
(the "Initiating Party") to the FCC Expert and to the other party (the
"Defending Party") at the addresses specified in Section 18.5. The Defending
Party will have five (5) Business Days from its receipt of the statement of
claim to deliver a statement of defense in writing to the FCC Expert and to the
Initiating Party at the addresses and in the manner specified in Section 18.5.
The Initiating Party shall thereafter have three (3) Business Days from its
receipt of the statement of defense to deliver a reply in writing to the FCC
Expert and to the Defending Party. Each of the statement of claim and the
statement of defense shall be limited to no more than ten (10) pages, and the
reply shall be limited to no more than five (5) pages, each double spaced,
unless the FCC Expert directs otherwise. If the Defending Party shall fail to
submit a statement of defense and/or if the Initiating Party shall fail to
submit a reply to the Defending Party's statement of defense within the times
allotted, the FCC Expert shall proceed to resolve the matter in accordance with
Section 15.4 without such a statement of defense or reply. If no statement of
defense shall have been filed by the Defending Party, then the Initiating Party
may not file a reply. Neither party shall engage in any other communications
with the FCC Expert regarding any Contract Claim, and neither party shall engage
in any ex parte communication with the FCC Expert.

     15.4. Resolution. In addition to the submissions provided for in Section
15.3 above, the FCC Expert may consider any materials he or she may deem
appropriate. The FCC Expert shall issue a decision in writing no later than the
earlier of ten (10) Business Days after (i) receiving a reply, or, if no reply
shall have been submitted, after the last date upon which a reply could have
been filed consistent with Section 15.3, or (ii) if no statement of defense
shall have been submitted, the last date upon which a statement of defense could
have been filed

                                       19

<PAGE>

consistent with Section 15.3. Except as provided in Section 15.5 below, the FCC
Expert's decision (the "Expert Decision") shall be binding upon the parties, and
no party shall commence any arbitration, legal action, or other proceeding to
upset or challenge the Expert Decision.

     15.5. FCC Ruling. Solely with respect to any Contract Claim or a portion of
any Contract Claim which arises out of, relates to, or is in connection with,
any alleged violation by either of the parties of the rules, regulations, or
policies of the FCC (an "FCC Claim"), either party may, within thirty (30) days
after the date upon which an Expert Decision shall have been rendered, and
solely with respect to matters decided therein that involve an FCC Claim, seek a
ruling by the FCC of the matter pertaining to the FCC Claim. Such a ruling may
be sought only through a written request to the appropriate staff of the FCC's
Media Bureau or the FCC's Enforcement Bureau, as determined by the FCC Expert,
which may take the form of a letter, a pleading, an electronic-mail message, or
any other written submission, which written request (in whatever medium) shall
be drafted by and submitted to the FCC staff by the FCC Expert after
consultation with the Initiating Party and the Defending Party, and without
divulging the identities of the parties to the FCC staff at any time or in any
manner (unless the FCC Expert shall have been given specific permission by
Pappas or its legal counsel in writing to divulge the identities of the parties
to the FCC staff), with copies of such written request served upon the
Initiating Party and the Defending Party by the FCC Expert at the time of its
submission to the FCC staff, in conformance with the notice provisions in
Section 18.5. Pending the receipt of the ruling by the FCC's staff, neither the
Initiating Party nor the Defending Party, nor their respective agents or
representatives, shall make or cause to be made any form of communication to the
FCC, whether oral, written, or otherwise, pertaining to the subject matter of
the request for the FCC's staff's ruling in the same or any other proceeding;
provided, however, that to the extent requested by the FCC's staff or reasonably
requested by either the Initiating Party or the Defending Party, and only after
consultation with the Initiating Party and the Defending Party or their legal
representatives, the FCC Expert may make any additional communication with the
FCC's staff pertaining to the request for a ruling, and provided, further, that
in the event of a written communication with the FCC's staff pertaining to the
request for a ruling, the FCC Expert shall provide a copy thereof simultaneously
to the Initiating Party and to the Defending Party in conformance with the
notice provisions in Section 18.5, and provided, further, that in the event of
an oral communication with the FCC's staff pertaining to the request for a
ruling, the FCC Expert shall promptly reduce the substance of such communication
to writing and shall provide a copy thereof to the Initiating Party and to the
Defending Party in conformance with the notice provisions in Section 18.5; and
provided, further, that in the event the FCC staff requests information directly
from either the Initiating Party or the Defending Party, such party may comply
with the FCC staff's request and shall promptly inform the FCC Expert and the
other party of the request and provide each with a copy of the information
provided to the FCC staff. Any written ruling rendered by the FCC's staff, or
any written communication from the FCC's staff setting forth the FCC's position
on the matter raised in the FCC Claim, shall be binding upon the parties and, to
the extent contrary to the Expert Decision on the matter, shall overrule and
supercede the Expert Decision. In the event that there should be a dispute
between the parties regarding whether or to what extent a written FCC ruling on
an FCC Claim shall have overruled all or any part of an Expert Decision, the FCC
Expert shall resolve that dispute and his or her resolution shall be binding
upon the parties. No oral ruling by the FCC's staff communicated to the FCC
Expert, the Initiating Party, the

                                       20

<PAGE>

Defending Party, or their representatives shall be binding upon the parties, nor
shall such oral ruling by the FCC's staff have any effect upon the Expert
Decision.

     15.6. Cure. Irrespective of whether a request for an FCC ruling on a matter
which is the subject of an Expert Decision on an FCC Claim shall have been made,
as provided in Section 15.5, each party shall, within the time period specified
in the Expert Decision, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after
the date upon which an Expert Decision shall have been rendered, take all action
necessary to cure any violation of this Agreement consistent with the direction
of the Expert Decision, and otherwise shall perform as directed in the Expert
Decision, and to bring such party's conduct within the terms of the Expert
Decision. In the event that either party fails to comply with the Expert
Decision, the other party may apply to the FCC Expert under the same terms and
procedures as provided in Section 15.3, above, for a determination by the FCC
Expert that the other party is in breach of the Agreement. A written decision by
the FCC Expert that a party has breached an Expert Decision, or has failed to
cure or otherwise bring its conduct within the terms of the Expert Decision,
within the required time frame, shall conclusively establish a breach of this
Agreement by such party (a "Breach").

     15.7. FCC Expert Compensation. The parties agree that each will be
responsible for one-half (1/2) of the compensation due to the FCC Expert.

     15.8. Replacement of FCC Expert. The FCC Expert may resign at any time by
so notifying the parties in writing, such resignation to be effective upon
appointment of a successor FCC Expert. The FCC Expert may also, in his or her
sole discretion, recuse himself or herself from resolving any particular
Contract Claim, in which case he or she may, with the approval of the Initiating
Party and the Defending Party, appoint a pro tempore FCC Expert to resolve that
particular Contract Claim, which pro tempore FCC Expert shall agree to be
governed by the provisions of this Section 15, and the FCC Expert shall
otherwise remain available to resolve all other Contract Claims in accordance
with this Section 15. The parties may remove the FCC Expert at any time by so
notifying the FCC Expert in a writing signed by all of the parties, and may
appoint a successor FCC Expert by their unanimous written consent. If the FCC
Expert resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists for any reason, the parties
will promptly agree upon the successor FCC Expert. Failing agreement of the
parties within fourteen (14) days of the resignation or removal or recusal of
the FCC Expert, a successor or pro tempore FCC Expert shall be designated by
agreement of FCC counsel for the parties; provided, however, that if for any
reason a successor FCC Expert is not designated within twenty (20) days of the
resignation or removal of the FCC Expert, the successor FCC Expert shall be
chosen by the American Arbitration Association in New York City (the "AAA") and
either party shall have the right to request the AAA to make such selection by
submitting the request to the AAA in writing together with a copy of this
Section 15, simultaneously providing a copy of the request to the other party in
conformance with the notice provisions in Section 18.5. Any successor FCC Expert
appointed or designated pursuant to this Section 15.8 shall be the "FCC Expert"
for all purposes of this Section 15; provided, however that the FCC Expert
selected by the AAA shall not follow the rules promulgated by the AAA but shall
instead abide by the provisions of this Agreement.

                                       21

     16. Intellectual Property. Effective as of the Effective Date, Pappas
licenses to AIC the exclusive right to use (or, only to the extent Pappas does
not hold the exclusive right, the non-exclusive right to use) all intellectual
property owned by or licensed to Pappas and used primarily in the operation of
the Station (including, but not limited to, logos, jingles, promotional
materials, call signs, goodwill, trademarks, service marks, slogans, trade
names, copyrights and any applications and registrations therefor) (the "IP
License"). In the event of termination of this Agreement, the IP License shall
terminate.

     17. Benefit and Assignment.

     17.1. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party, in whole or in
part, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written
consent of the other party; provided, however, that Pappas may assign its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate to whom Pappas transfers
all of the assets used in the operation of the Station and interests in the
Station (the "Permitted Affiliate Transferee"); provided, however, that (i) the
Permitted Affiliate Transferee qualifies under the Communications Act and all
other Requirements of Law to become a holder of the Governmental Permits
(including, without limitation, the FCC Licenses), (ii) each representation and
warranty of Pappas in this Agreement is true and correct in all respects as to
the Permitted Affiliate Transferee, as though the Permitted Affiliate Transferee
were substituted for Pappas throughout this Agreement, (iii) Pappas gives
written notice to AIC at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the assignment to
the Permitted Affiliate Transferee, setting forth the ownership structure of the
Permitted Affiliate Transferee, and (iv) Pappas and the Permitted Affiliate
Transferee execute and deliver to AIC an undertaking in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to AIC in which Pappas and the Permitted Affiliate
Transferee confirm that (x) the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
have been complied with in all respects, (y) the Permitted Affiliate Transferee
has the power, authority and legal right to discharge its obligations under this
Agreement, and (z) Pappas and the Permitted Affiliate Transferee are jointly and
severally liable for the representations and warranties of Pappas set forth in
this Agreement, as modified to include the statements set forth in such
undertaking, and agree that they are bound as "Pappas" hereunder. No such
assignment by Pappas shall relieve Pappas of any of its obligations hereunder.
Any assignment contrary to the provisions of this Section 17 shall be deemed a
Breach under this Agreement.

     17.2. For purposes of this Agreement, an "assignment or transfer of
control" under Section 73.3540 and 73.3541 of the rules, regulations and
policies of the FCC or any successor hereof shall be deemed an assignment or
transfer of control requiring AIC's prior written consent.

     17.3. The parties acknowledge and agree that in the course of AIC's
performance and/or compliance under this Agreement, AIC may, in its sole
discretion and at its expense, (i) engage such agents, advisors, consultants,
independent contractors, or other similar representatives as AIC may deem
appropriate and (ii) delegate AIC's rights under this Agreement as AIC may deem
appropriate; provided that no such engagement or delegation shall relieve AIC of
any of its obligations under this Agreement.

     18. General Terms.

18.5 on the next succeeding Business Day. Any party may by notice given in
accordance with this Section 18.5 designate another address or Person (as such
term is defined in the Settlement Agreement) for receipt of notices hereunder,
but such notice shall not be effective until actually received. For purposes of
this Agreement, the term "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of New York or Mexico
City, Mexico are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

     18.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.
Execution and delivery of this Agreement by exchange of facsimile copies bearing
the facsimile signature of a party hereto shall constitute a valid and binding
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party. Such facsimile copies
shall constitute enforceable original documents.

     18.7. Headings; Gender. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this
Agreement. As used herein, masculine pronouns shall include the feminine and
neuter, neuter pronouns shall include the masculine and feminine, and the
singular shall be deemed to include the plural. As used in this Agreement, the
words "include" and "including," and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to

Sections of this Agreement, Exhibits to this Agreement and Attachments to this

     18.9. Rule of Construction. The general rule of construction for
interpreting a contract, which provides that the provisions of a contract should
be construed against the party preparing the contract, is waived by the parties
hereto. Each party acknowledges that such parry was represented by separate
legal counsel in this matter who participated in the preparation of this
Agreement or such party had the opportunity to retain counsel to participate in
the preparation of this Agreement but elected not to do so.

     18.10. Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, no remedy herein
conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy
or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every remedy under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity.

     18.11. Specific Performance. The parties recognize that if a party breaches
this Agreement and refuses to perform under the provisions of this Agreement,
monetary damages alone would not be adequate to compensate the non-breaching
party for its injury. Except as set forth in Section 12.2, the non-breaching
party shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be
available (including the provisions of Section 11 (relating to
indemnification)), to obtain specific performance of the terms of this
Agreement. If any action is brought by the non-breaching party to enforce this
Agreement the breaching party shall waive the defense in any such action that
there is an adequate remedy at law and interpose no opposition, legal or
otherwise, as to the propriety of specific performance as a remedy hereunder,
and the breaching party agrees that the non-breaching party shall have the right
to seek specific performance without being required to prove actual damages,
post bond, or furnish other security. This Section 18.11 shall not limit the
non-breaching party's ability to seek damages in the event such party elects to
terminate this Agreement as a result of a Breach hereunder by the other party
instead of seeking specific performance.

     18.12. Consent to Jurisdiction. Any Claim arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought by the
parties and heard and determined only in Delaware Chancery Court, unless
Delaware Chancery Court determines that it does not have jurisdiction over such
Claim, in which case such Claim may be brought by the parties and heard and
determined only in Delaware state court or a federal court sitting in Delaware.
The parties hereto consent to jurisdiction before and waive any objections of
venue to the Delaware Chancery Court, Delaware state court and any federal court
sitting in Delaware. Each party agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a
defense or otherwise, in any such Claim, that it is not subject personally to
the jurisdiction of any such courts, that such Claim is brought in an
inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Claim is improper or that this
Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by any such
courts. Each party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of Delaware
Chancery Court, Delaware state court and any federal court sitting in Delaware
in any such Claim. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 18.5. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in
any manner permitted by law.

     18.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND

                                       26

<PAGE>

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD
TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF.

     18.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed
invalid or unenforceable as written, it shall be construed, to the greatest
extent possible, in a manner which shall render it valid and enforceable. No
invalidity or unenforceability shall affect any other portion of this Agreement.

     18.15. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not for the benefit
of any third party and shall not be deemed to grant any right or remedy to any
third party whether or not referred to herein.

     18.16. No Agency Relationship. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
so as to create any joint venture, partnership, business combination, or agency
relationship between AIC and Pappas and neither party shall be authorized to act
on behalf of the other.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this Agreement as of
the date first above written.

                                    EXHIBIT A

                 BROADCAST STATION PROGRAMMING POLICY STATEMENT

     AIC agrees to cooperate with Pappas in the broadcasting of programs of the
highest possible standard of excellence, and for this purpose to observe the
following regulations in the preparation, writing, and broadcasting of its
programs.

     I.   No Plugola or Payola. AIC covenants that it shall not accept, and
          shall instruct its employees not to 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, materials, supplies or other merchandise, services or
          labor, in exchange for the broadcast of program matter whether or not
          pursuant to written contracts or agreements between AIC and merchants
          or advertisers, unless the payor is identified in the program as
          having paid for or furnished such consideration in accordance with FCC
          requirements.

     II.  No Lotteries. Announcements giving any information about lotteries or
          games, to the extent that such announcements are prohibited by federal
          or state law or regulation, are prohibited.

     III. Election Procedures. At least fifteen (15) days before the start of
          any primary or general election campaign, AIC will clear with Pappas'
          General Manager the rates that AIC will charge for advertising time to
          be sold on the Station to legally-qualified candidates for election to
          public office and/or to their supporters, in order to make certain
          that the rates charged are in conformance with applicable law and
          Station policy (a copy of which is attached).

     IV.  Required Announcements. AIC shall broadcast (i) an announcement in a
          form satisfactory to Pappas at the beginning and at the end of each
          day's transmissions by the Station, and at the beginning of each hour
          during the Station's operations, to identify the Station, and (ii) any
          other announcements that may be required by law, regulation, or
          Station policy (a copy of which is attached).

     V.   No Illegal Announcements. No announcements or promotion prohibited by
          the Communications Laws or other federal or state law or regulation
          shall be made over the Station. Any game, contest, or promotion
          relating to or to be presented over the Station must be fully stated
          and explained in advance to Pappas, who reserves the right in its sole
          discretion to reject any game, contest, or promotion.

     VI.  Pappas Discretion Paramount. In accordance with Pappas' responsibility
          under the Act and the rules and regulations of the FCC, Pappas
          reserves the right to reject or to terminate any advertising proposed
          to be presented or being presented over the Station which is in
          conflict

                                        1

<PAGE>

          with Station policy (a copy of which is attached) or which in Pappas'
          or its General Manager's sole judgment would not serve the public
          interest.

     Pappas may waive any of the foregoing regulations in specific instances if,
in its opinion, the Station will remain in compliance with all applicable laws,
rules, regulations, and policies and if broadcasting in the public interest will
be served. In any case where questions of policy or interpretation arise, AIC
should submit such questions to Pappas for decision before making any
commitments in connection therewith.

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

     This Guaranty Agreement (this "Guaranty"), dated as of February __, 2003,
is made by TV Azteca, S.A. de C.V. ("Guarantor"), in favor of Pappas Telecasting
of Southern California LLC (the "Beneficiary").

     WHEREAS, Azteca International Corporation ("AIC") is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor; and

     WHEREAS, Azteca International Corporation, the Beneficiary, and Pappas
Southern California License, LLC, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Beneficiary, have entered into that certain Local Marketing Agreement (as the
same may be amended, the "LMA"), dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which
AIC will provide programming to KAZA-TV, Avalon, California, for which Pappas
Southern California License, LLC is the licensee pursuant to authorizations
granted by the Federal Communication Commission; and

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor will obtain benefit directly or indirectly from the
LMA;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the Guarantor hereby
agrees as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                                  DEFINED TERMS

     Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty but not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings given to such terms in the LMA.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                    GUARANTY

     2.01 Guaranty. Subject to the commencement of the Term (as defined in the
LMA) of the LMA, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as
primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Beneficiary the due and
punctual payment in full and timely performance of all of the obligations of AIC
under the LMA as determined in accordance with Section 15 thereof and offsets
permitted under the LMA and under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
"Credit Agreement"), dated as of the date hereof, by and between AIC, as lender,
and the Beneficiary, as borrower (the "Guaranteed Obligations"), and agrees to
pay any and all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees and expenses) incurred by the Beneficiary in enforcing any rights under
this Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, if the
LMA does not become effective, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and
shall be void ab initio.

     2.02 Demand. If AIC fails or refuses to pay or perform any Guaranteed
Obligation and the Beneficiary has elected to exercise its rights under this
Guaranty, the Beneficiary shall make a demand upon the Guarantor (a "Demand"). A
Demand shall be

<PAGE>

in writing and shall describe in reasonable detail in what manner and what
amount AIC has failed to pay or perform and an explanation of why such payment
or performance is required, with a specific statement that Beneficiary is
calling upon the Guarantor to perform under this Guaranty. A Demand satisfying
the foregoing requirements shall be deemed sufficient notice to Guarantor that
it must pay or perform, as applicable, the then outstanding Guaranteed
Obligations that are the subject of such Demand. A single written Demand shall
be effective as to any specific default during the continuance of such default,
until AIC has, or the Guarantor has, cured such default, and additional written
demands concerning such default shall not be required until such default is
cured.

     2.03 Guaranty Obligation Independent. The Guarantor guarantees that the
Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with
the terms of the LMA (including, without limitation, Section 15 thereof). The
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and, subject to the provisions of Section 15 of the LMA,
a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor
to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against
AIC or whether AIC is joined in any such action or actions. Subject to the
provisions of Section 15 of the LMA, the Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is
a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its
obligations under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective
of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or
hereafter have in any way relating to, any and all of the following:

     (a) any lack of capacity of AIC or any lack of validity or enforceability
of any provision of the LMA or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or
the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability of any future amendment of
or change in this Guaranty or any agreement or instrument related thereto;

     (b) any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release of any or all
of the obligations of AIC under the LMA or any change in the time, manner or
place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the LMA or
any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

     (c) any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

     (d) the insolvency of AIC; or

     (e) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or
against AIC for liquidation or reorganization, should AIC become insolvent or
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee
be appointed for all or any significant part of AIC's assets. This Guaranty
shall continue to be effective and Guarantor shall continue to be liable for
performance under the LMA irrespective of any

                                        2

<PAGE>

excuse, discharge or exoneration of AIC, including, without limitation, in the
event AIC were to reject the LMA under Section 365 of Title 11 of the United
States Code or any other similar, applicable bankruptcy laws. This Guaranty
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof,
is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Beneficiary, whether as a "voidable
preference", "fraudulent conveyance" or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Guaranteed Obligations
shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount actually paid and not
so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

     2.04 Waiver. The Guarantor hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, waives (a) presentment, promptness, diligence or notice of acceptance with
respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty; (b) any
requirement that the Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien on
any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against AIC
or any other Person; and (c) notice of any adverse change in the financial
condition of AIC or of any other fact which might increase the Guarantor's risk.
The Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges
that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. The Guarantor hereby waives
any effect of a pledge by AIC of its rights under the LMA and any effect of a
foreclosure by a pledgee thereon. The Guarantor further agrees that its
obligations under this Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims,
offsets or defenses against AIC of any kind which may arise in the future.

                   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GUARANTOR

     The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:

delivery of this Guaranty.

                                        3

<PAGE>

     (d) This Guaranty constitutes a valid, legally binding and enforceable
obligation of the Guarantor, except as enforceability hereof may be limited by
the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles
of equity.

     (e) The Guarantor is fully aware of the contents of the LMA and hereby

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     4.01 Continuing Guaranty; Assignment. The guaranty obligations of Guarantor
under Article II of this Guaranty shall be continuing and remain in full force
and effect so long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding. All
of the obligations of the Guarantor set forth herein shall bind the Guarantor
and its successors. The Guarantor shall not assign or delegate its duties or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, and
any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and
void. No person or entity other than the Beneficiary shall be a beneficiary of
this Guaranty or have or acquire any rights by reason of this Guaranty.

     4.02 Limitation on Guarantor's Right of Subrogation or Indemnity. So long
as any Guaranteed Obligation remains unpaid or unperformed, the Guarantor shall
have, with respect to AIC, no right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution,
set off or indemnity whatsoever (whether such right or claim arises under
contract, U.S. state or federal common law or state or federal statutory law or
applicable Mexican law or in equity) or to any other rights that could accrue to
a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a principal, to a guarantor
against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party
accommodated, to a holder of any claim against any person or entity, and which
the Guarantor may have or hereafter acquires against AIC and no right of
recourse to, or with respect to, any assets or property of AIC.

     4.03 Marshaling. The Guarantor consents and agrees that the Beneficiary
shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the
Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     4.04 Governing law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws.

     4.05 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

     (a) Jurisdiction. Any actions, suits, proceedings, claims, complaints,
disputes, arbitrations or investigations (a "Claim") arising out of or relating
to this Guaranty shall be brought by the parties and heard and determined only
in Delaware Chancery Court,

                                        4

<PAGE>

unless Delaware Chancery Court determines that it does not have jurisdiction
over such Claim, in which case such Claim may be brought by the parties and
heard and determined only in Delaware state court or a federal court sitting in
Delaware. The parties hereto consent to jurisdiction before and waive any
objections of venue to the Delaware Chancery Court, Delaware state court and any
federal court sitting in Delaware. Each party agrees not to assert, by way of
motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Claim, that it is not subject
personally to the jurisdiction of any such courts, that such Claim is brought in
an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Claim is improper or that this
Guaranty or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by any such
courts. Each party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of Delaware
Chancery Court, Delaware state court and any federal court sitting in Delaware
in any such Claim. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 4.06. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in
any manner permitted by law.

     (b) Consent to Service of Process. Within five(5) Business Days (as defined
in the LMA) of the date hereof, the Guarantor shall appoint CT Corporation
System in New York State, with an office on the date hereof at 111 8th Avenue,
New York, New York 10011 as its agent to receive on behalf of it and its
properties, service of process in the United States in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding arising hereunder. Guarantor irrevocably consents to
the service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in the manner
provided for notices in Section 4.06 of this Guaranty. Within five (5) Business
Days of the date hereof, the Guarantor shall provide the Beneficiary with a
notarized irrevocable special power of attorney granted by the Guarantor to CT
Corporation System as Guarantor's agent for service of process, and an
acknowledgement by CT Corporation System of its acceptance of its appointment as
Guarantor's agent for service of process pursuant to this Section 4.05(b).

any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall in no way be construed as a waiver

by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Guaranty, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiary by virtue of
any statute or rule of law or in the LMA or any agreement between the
Beneficiary and the Guarantor or between the Beneficiary and AIC. Any
forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by the Beneficiary in

                                        7

right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it
